37 min - 180: Misconceptions About “Meaningless Jobs”: the Dark Side of Fixating on Passions
When we say that every job is meaningful, what do we really mean by that?
Have you ever found yourself thinking that bringing people to Christ, funding missions, and serving the poor were the only jobs that *really* mattered? Trust us, you're not alone in that thinking. We know there are a lot of Christians out there who struggle with that same belief.
This week, we get real on this topic and openly discuss how hurtful and damaging it is to deem some jobs meaningless and place higher value on other jobs.
Cheering you on,

47 min - 178: What Does it Mean to Be an A-Player?
"A-Player…"
"High performer…"
"Best on the team…"
I don’t know about you, but these titles are a little scary! I mean, I’m sure we all want to be one, but how can you, especially when your confidence has taken a hit in the past?
On today's episode of the podcast, we wanted to share a grace-based view on how you can become the most trustworthy person on your team and with your friends by sharing discussing exactly what it means to be an A-player. This list of 8 practical things you can do TODAY will help you immediately step up your game as an employee and/or a boss.
Special thanks to Jordan Raynor for this list; be sure to listen to his podcast, Mere Christians, where he discusses all things faith & work!
Jordan Raynor’s definition of an A-Player:
- Does exactly what they say they will do
- Doesn’t drop the ball on a task or project
- Responds to every email, Slack message, phone call, and text within 24 business hours
- Always shows up on time, and more often than not, shows up early
- Hits and often exceeds expectations on their OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)
- Renegotiates their commitments if they know they won’t be able to deliver
- Doesn’t allow a meeting to end until next actions have been clearly defined
- Is a joy to work with
