Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of one of the most important days of my life. On October 5, 1991, Theresa and I said “I do and I will”! In honor of that day 20 years ago, we spent the entire day together just having fun. We reflected on the past 20 years. We looked at old [...]

Watching the Game Film

What would happen if your work today was captured on video? I’m talking every minute…all day long. Every conversation. Every decision. Every action. Every reaction. Every thought (are you kidding me?)… all captured on video. Then tomorrow, we sit down together and watch the game film! Monday night, I attended an incredible event…Raise the Bar [...]

We are constantly teaching and equipping on why and how we can and should live our faith in our work. Most of the time, it is very work centric. However, we must constantly remind ourselves that all elements of our lives are integrated and connected. That is especially true of our work and our marriage. If [...]

1 + 1 = 2

Posted in Balance, Bible, Faith and Work, Family, Marriage, Prayer on March 16, 2011 | 4 Comments »

We get so strung out with the incredible pace of our lives. I am living through that right now. I just got off the phone with a business leader expressing the same anxieties and frustrations. Our work is demanding and full of pressures. We strive to be the best husbands and wives possible. Many of us have [...]

A Faith and Work Model That “Works”

Posted in Faith and Work, Marriage on February 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I am frequently asked for faith and work “models” for businesses. There is no one-size-fits-all model. In my view, Chick-fil-A is a company that gets it. It’s one of the reasons we are proud that they are the national sponsor of the 2011 Leadercast in May. We are making no WorkMatters statement here regarding the homosexual issue, but [...]

60 Days…Work/Life Warning!

Posted in 60 Days of Prayer, Balance, Family, Marriage, Prayer, Relationships on November 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Last week I received shocking news about someone I admired and saw as a spiritual giant that a few months ago his marriage had ended in divorce.  Although I did not know this man personally, I have followed him and his ministry closely for a long time.  The details were sketchy, but it appeared that [...]

60 Days…Work to Live

Posted in 60 Days of Prayer, Balance, Family, Marriage on November 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Following a speech I gave last week, a leader in a local bank came to me and with tears in his eyes, shared this story. It’s long, but very powerful…and it’s important. See my comments following the story: It was very nice to meet you and listen to your inspirational talk…the topic is something I [...]

We have all been pushing really hard. 2010 has been no easier than 2009 in the workplace, has it? Some of you are still looking for jobs. Most of you are working harder than ever. If you haven’t already…it’s time to think about your summer. And specifically, to consider your personal need for R&R. So what [...]

Travel

Most people reading this want to do the right thing. Right? I mean, God built us that way. But, so often it seems we allow ourselves to be so easily influenced by our co-workers, our customers, our friends, or sometimes even our spouses. That is true in all aspects of our work, but it is especially [...]

Day 7 – Sex in the City

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Marriage on July 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.  Proverbs 7:25   (NIV) As I sit in my hotel room in Dallas, TX, I am contemplating why Solomon, presumably the wisest man to ever live, invested three chapters of Proverbs on the subject of adultery? Actually, that’s just a rhetorical question. [...]
