Former Razorback McFadden Breaks 1,000-Yard Mark, Begins Proving Worth This headline showed up today in my  inbox today.   Although on one hand I was pleased McFadden was representing the Razorbacks well,  I was also distraught that it would appear his overall worth is being judged by his performance at work.   I know, I know….he is [...]

Witnesses @ Work?

Posted in Excellence, Faith and Work, Integrity, Jesus, Seven Pillars of Faith and Work on September 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Most of our companies have a mission statement don’t they? But, do you have a personal mission statement? It seems that Jesus did. What do you think? “But you will receive the power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and [...]

I have been blessed to build a friendship over the past few years with a business leader who “gets it” about as well as any I know. Donnie Smith, new CEO of Tyson Foods (located here in northwest Arkansas), has worked at Tyson Foods for 30 years. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal published a feature interview [...]

You just never know when God is going to try to teach you something, do you? I took my 11-year-old son Tyler out to play golf this week. For the first time in years we carried our bags. That allowed me to walk nine holes with John (not his real name). John, a 35-year-old graduate [...]

I’m sure you never experience office politics. So, you can just move on to the next email. Oh…you do? Then maybe this will help. Yesterday I met with a senior leader of a small company who was in a sticky situation. He was struggling with owners and peers who were opposed and scrambling for cover. Each person [...]

Seize the Day!

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 [...]

We spent the month of February really thinking about one of our Seven Pillars of Faith and Work…Integrity. It was an interesting experience.

Blameless?

My co-worker and good friend Butch Scruggs, who leads The Joseph Project, gave me a cool one year devotional prayer book at our WorkMatters Christmas dinner last week. Do you have something you read to augment your Bible study? A blog, My Utmost for His Highest, maybe a book? Well, the morning after the party I opened [...]

Monday morning I had the blessing of participating in Northstar Partnering Groups’ weekly worship/business meeting held in Fayetteville, AR. Northstar’s mission is “building profitable businesses that advance the Kingdom”. My long time friend and Northstar leader Clay Bell has been an advocate of bridging the gap between faith and work long before I got involved with WorkMatters. Clay shared [...]

Is Work Meaningless?

Posted in Integrity, Seven Pillars of Faith and Work, Uncategorized on October 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Do you sometimes feel like your work is absolutely meaningless (beyond the money you receive for it)? That it’s a grind. It’s like chasing after the wind?   I just recently finished reading Ecclesiastes with a 31 year old friend who I spend time walking through work and life with. Solomon, the wisest man in [...]
