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 [...]

The meeting was not going as I had carefully planned. I was prepared. Had my agenda, talking points and slides ready and had launched into my pitch. As I looked up at the customer, I could tell he was not really following me. He seemed distracted and actually a little irritated. I paused for a [...]

I am reminded that we can honor and glorify God in many ways. My friend Kelsey is doing it through her work. Can you imagine the joy God feels when he watches Kelsey serve “the least of these”?

We are busy aren’t we? Our lives are full. Our work demands more time than we have or want to give. Yet, something in us calls us to find a way to serve. To help someone in need. But it’s just one more thing… Lunch is sometimes used for business meetings, or maybe to work out. [...]

Last Friday, the world changed. Why? 1,500 men and women invested seven straight hours listening to and learning from 10 world-class speakers teaching leadership. What do you think the exponential impact will be of those 1,500 people in the northwest Arkansas marketplace? As those 1,500 people interact globally with their co-workers, customers and suppliers…what will the impact be? [...]

We are so excited (and slightly exhausted) for this Friday. Over 1,500 leaders will converge on The Church at Pinnacle Hills for our 7th annual WorkMatters Leadership Conference.

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.

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 [...]
