I am reading Ephesians this week and this scripture, of course, stood out. I don’t think it needs more explanation today… 5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is [...]

We are blessed in northwest Arkansas (where WorkMatters emanates from) to have some incredible business leaders. I am blessed to have the opportunity to build relationships with many of them. Together, we invest time in thinking through what faith and work looks like and how to live it on a daily basis. Recently, the newly appointed President and [...]

Mike Duke, CEO Wal-Mart Stores, is a leader many of us know and respect here in northwest Arkansas. It’s hard to fathom the challenge of leading the largest company in the world. He is humble, faithful and requires business excellence from himself and his associates. Read these excerpts from a recent interview Mike Duke did [...]

Yesterday, our team spent some time praying, planning and preparing for this upcoming new year. We are so pumped about how God is using WorkMatters and the opportunities he has provided. I was thinking about all the wonderful places that God led us this past year and my thoughts kept going to our new ministry [...]
60 Days…Mentoring

In a recent Eight to Five message by Terry Turpin, he made a statement that penetrated me. It went something like this… “if you aren’t mentoring someone AND being mentored by someone, you are not living the kind of life you could or should.” I can’t quit thinking about that. Some of us invest significant [...]

“Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray and cry aloud; and He shall hear my voice.” Psalms 55:17 Day after day has gone by and with much regret, I must confess that prayer has been a small part of my work day. I wonder what might have been accomplished had I consistently presented [...]

Holding my plate of food at the business lunch, I saw my choice of seat was either with my old cronies at a table in the back or up closer to the front sitting, at a table with people I barely knew. Sitting at the table up front was a new employee I had [...]
60 Days…Political Leaders

Another big day for our country. As I stood in line around 11:00am yesterday morning at my assigned voting spot, I tried to focus on the positives of standing in an absolute snail paced line. I kept telling myself that the right to vote and elect our leaders, however flawed the mechanics of the system [...]

Question 3 from Terry Turpin’s Eight to Five message – Does my attitude reflect what I say I believe? It’s easy to tell others what we believe. It’s a lot more difficult to live daily in a way that demonstrates what we believe. We’ve all heard the saying “you can talk the talk, but do you [...]
