As a Christian, our testimony is typically broken into (1) our life before Christ, (2) the period in which we came to know and accept Christ into our lives, and (3) our life since accepting Christ and establishing a personal relationship with Our Lord and Savior. In accepting Christ into our hearts, who we were BEFORE has died and we are made anew thru Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.  [Luke 9:23] In our faith walk, why is it so difficult for us to relinquish certain situations or worldly things even though we know God has our best interest in mind and our faith lies within Him. In this episode of Conquering Business Giants - Dennis, Mack, and Maurizio dive into the art, not science, of relinquishing ourselves and our circumstances. Tackling the tough question of, what challenges us as believers that inhibits our ability to relinquish our circumstances, our lives, and our worldly possessions over to God. The CBG trio discusses the various aspects of what triggers our humanly perspective that clouds our ability to relinquish things (ourselves, our actions, our belongings, our job, our family, etc.), especially in tough times or difficult circumstances. Hosted by Dennis Hough, co-hosted by Anthony ‘Mack’ Maccagnano and Maurizio Landi; Conquering Business Giants is sponsored by Affirm Consulting and produced by Fritz at GSR Podcast Productions.

In this episode of Conquering Business Giants - Dennis, Mack and Maurizio dive into the challenges we face with continuous change and transformation of who we are, how we lead others and overcoming in a dark world that is always pushing against our Godly calling, challenging who we are as Christians and disciples and encouraging us to give into the rewards of this world. The CBG trio discuss the various aspects of transformation, the ‘risk of rigidity.

This episode of the Conquering Business Giants podcast was originally live-streamed on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ConqueringBusinessGiants/) on May 4th, 2021.

The live streaming event had the podcast trio venturing into new waters and with faces meant for podcasting, it was an adventure. Yeah, we experienced a few small technical issues but isn’t that what life is all about, venturing outside your comfort zone and working thru the ‘glitches’ life throws at us.

If “actions speak louder than words”, then how much power lies in the words we speak to others? Actions in most cases can be undone but our words, and the things we say, cannot be unheard. So, why is it so important to choose our words wisely? As Christian business leaders, we face the same emotional struggles that everyone faces, yet we must guard our tongue against allowing our (negative) emotions to translate to words of anger, criticism, negativity, and hurt. (Proverbs 18:4 / Proverbs 12:18)

This episode of Conquering Business Giants is a preface to the upcoming Live podcast, which will air on Facebook Live on Tuesday, May 4th @ 7:30 pm EDT. The trio at Conquering Business Giants is anxious to hear from you, our listeners. The origin and mission of this podcast are to share ideas, insight, and perspective for you the Christina business leaders, who face challenges every day in the workplace, your faith walk, and your personal lives.

Merely desiring or verbally proclaiming the need for change in our lives (or our business) is not enough? Are we truly ready for the change that we want or desire?

We know God isn’t holding us back out of punishment, so why the untimely delay in moving forward or out of our current situation/circumstances? Is it possible that we aren’t ready OR that we are holding onto things/ideals that make us unable to move forward? (Romans 12:12)

How would you lead differently if you knew the outcome? Is great leadership reflected in the ‘process’ or the ‘results’? Doesn’t Christ teach us to be committed to the process and doing what’s right, knowing it’s part of the great plan that God has in store for you, your organization, and your company. We may desire results but if we do not stay focused on the process and committing ourselves to pour into the people within your organization, how can we ever expect great results? (Matthew 28:18

As a business leader, are you only committed to those who follow you or think like you?

If others within your organization do not agree with your methodology or chosen path forward, should you be less committed to serving these individuals? Jesus taught us quite the contrary, as He washed the feet of His disciples, even though He knew many would deny Him and one would betray Him. (John 13:1-17)

As business leaders, we tend to always be planning, whether it be planning for resolution, growth or future endeavors. And try as we might and despite our best efforts, the ‘best-laid plans’ tend to always go awry. Does failed plans make you feel inferior as a business leader or make you question why you even plan in the first place? In this episode of Conquering Business Giants - Dennis, Mack, and Maurizio dive into the challenges, insight, and opportunities that come to light.
