Last night we were blessed to host approximately 70 men and women who are between jobs, along with their spouses, for The Joseph Project Dinner & Movie evening. It was very, very special to stand and watch this group of people, bonded by the trials of unemployment, come together for an evening of fun and [...]

For many years, we (that’s all of us) have talked about this notion of “servant leadership”. Wikipedia defines it as “achieving results for your organization by giving priority attention to the needs of your colleagues and those you serve.” I like that… But over the last few months, God has opened our personal and WorkMatters [...]

A few days ago, I wrote about my friend Tommy Van Zandt and his new journey living as a quadriplegic and the incredible influence he now has. Are you ready for this? Last night, I was visiting Tommy and his wife Robyn, and a friend and coworker from his company Sage Partners came by. She told [...]

This weekend my family had to miss church to attend our son Tyler’s competitive baseball game. I really don’t like that…but God had a better plan. We got home Sunday morning just in time to gather around my laptop and hear God speak. David Platt was preaching at The Church at Pinnacle Hills. David is only 31 years old, [...]

This was the statement made to me after our close friend, Tommy Van Zandt, spoke at our Eight-to-Five last Friday morning. I won’t soon forget it. Tommy Van Zandt is a Partner in Sage Partners, a highly respected commercial real estate company in northwest Arkansas. Following a devastating ice storm in 2009, Tommy fell from a ladder while [...]

I know this sounds strange, but I sometimes take notes at a funeral. It seems it is a time where all that is good, all that is important, all that transcends a life…gets shared by people who care the most. Yesterday, we celebrated the life of Carl Carpenter, whose son Rick is a close friend of [...]

WorkMatters is blessed to share office space with a great company, NorthStar Partnering Group. Each Monday morning, the NorthStar team starts their week with a worship/business meeting.

On this Easter Sunday, I want you to hear from our friend Dan Hinkson. Dan is between jobs and an active participant in The Joseph Project. You will be blessed by his Easter message to his friends who are between jobs… We all have various needs, and we have prayed together for the many who [...]
Good Friday?
Posted in Adversity, Death, Jesus, Prayer on April 2, 2010 | 1 Comment »
As I read Matthew 27 this morning, which chronicles the day Jesus died, it didn’t feel like Good Friday. I grappled with what Jesus went through. I tried to imagine how it would feel to be beaten, ridiculed, laughed at, spit on, and mocked. Then, though impossible, I cringed as I imagined someone hammering nails in my hands, then [...]
