Thoughtful Thursday

Everything is meaningless!  So says the wisest man ever to live.  So what does that mean for us as business men & women?  How do we reconcile that and still find purpose in our jobs and businesses? In today’s episode, we’ll dive in to what that looks like at a biblical, personal, and business level.

Our word is our word, and despite the overload of clutter and distractions in today’s world, it’s more important than ever for us as men & women to commit to that which we are committed to.  Today we explore the importance of follow-through, but with a unique spin.

The old adage is “sharpen your ax” before cutting down the tree, but how often do, in business, forget about that!?   Believe it or not, sharpening your ax is also biblical.  Listen in to our live conversation about how we can apply this, very practically.

When it comes to stewardship, we often think about objects, but what about our businesses, time, and other resources? Today we discuss how to use everything we have for His glory. “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property.” – ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ … Continue reading Episode 24: On Stewardship →

Joy is sometimes a choice, a perspective. How can one person get so much joy out of something that another may not even recognize?  Comedians and business experts have a lot to say about joy, and so does scripture – in this episode we look at the intersection of the 2 in this thought-provoking Thoughtful … Continue reading Episode 23: On Joy →

Some things are easy to see as black/white issues.  The gray area emerges in complex situations, moving parts, miscommunications or simply pushing to do something that really can’t be done.  It frequently isn’t malicious as much as just an easy route to take.  We know man was made with a conscience, so why isn’t this … Continue reading Episode 22: On The Gray Area →

Margin is ”unscheduled time that you can use in whatever way refreshes you, or helps you get back on track with life”. It’s your breathing room / emergency fund / time to reflect on life. Do you have it?  Scripture has quite a bit to share including in Genesis and Mark, which we’ll explore in … Continue reading Episode 21: On Margin →

Does worrying actually help anything? If it doesn’t help, what can we do about it.  Sometimes, the practical application of “not worrying” is the hardest, even despite scriptural encouragement: Mathew 6:34: Therefore, Do not worry about Tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own

When is enough, enough?   After you win a local competition, then it’s to regional, then to national, etc.  How about with possessions?  Cars & houses? Ecclesiastes 5:10: “whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless”

All of life is connected, there are no isolated habits.  At times, it can be easy to isolate/separate different aspects of life, at least when it comes to improvement.  For example, working out = body, quiet-time = soul, business conference = work, etc.  Today, we look at how connected everything is.
