Can love really make a difference in our world? We think it can, but it might just take a new reference point for how we love.

Last week in the series we discovered how to find meaning without money. This week we're speaking about how we can leverage our skills to be a means to an end beyond ourselves.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the 1% club. By global standards, you’re rich! Of course, you may not feel rich, but the truth is it’s time to start giving while you’re living because what you’re holding is moulding! This month we’re going to encourage each other to Be Rich by being extravagantly generous. After all, our extravagant generosity toward others is the most appropriate response to God’s extravagant generosity toward us

Studies show that around 53% of us are unhappy at work. Around 75% of people leave their jobs because of people they work with, not the work they're doing.

So how do we buck the trend and actually start finding fulfilment in our day-to-day?

Could the key to loving our work be found in learning how to love the people we work with... even if their difficult people to love?

We spend most of our life working. It could be behind a desk, behind a steering wheel or behind a smelly baby. So... does our work have to feel like hard work? Or is there a better way to make work-life, work for us?

Many of us have viewed faith as something we do alone. We might have said that it’s private. But there’s a limit to our faith growth when we go it alone. There’s a deepening to our faith that we only experience together. When it comes to consistently growing our faith, “we” is greater than “me.” Who’s spurring on your faith and whose faith are you spurring on?

Moving out of the shallows starts with feeding ourselves spiritually. But if we stop at that first step, we’ll be left spiritually fat rather than spiritually fit. How do we prevent that from happening? The next step involves a spiritual workout that’s unique for each of us.

No one wants their faith to be described as shallow. But how do we go deep?

The first Christmas was coming, ready or not. Gods plan for the world had begun and everyone was invited to participate. So, as we approach the big day again this year, we look back to that first Christmas to see how we can step into this grand plan God has for the whole world. Christmas is coming, ready or not!

Conflict is a part of every deep relationship. If we want to do life better with people who aren't like us we need to get it right. So how do we engage in conflict and still maintain healthy relationships.
