Leaders Moment

Fear is a powerful motivator, but it's not always the best one. 

In truth, fear can drive us to make decisions that aren't actually good for ourselves or for those we love and serve. Fear can blind us to reality and lead us to act as though we're trapped on a path that isn't healthy, when we should be free to do what's best.

Listen to discover how Brittani Miller, the founder of Creative Melodies, transitioned from fear to love as a motivator. As you hear her story, you'll discover incredible insights and advice that will help you become a more effective leader.  Don't miss it!

As a Christian business leader, do you sometimes feel lost or without a clear purpose?

Have no fear! In this powerful episode, I talk with Pierce Brantley about calling within business. He is a businessman, minister, author, and host of The Eternal Entrepreneur. His latest book, Calling: Awaken to the Purpose of Your Work, dives deeply into this topic.

After listening, you will have a greater understanding of how to use your skills and talents to fulfill God's purpose for you.

• Where the world puts identity
• God’s definition of humility

• Listen to Pierce’s podcast: The Eternal Entrepreneur
• Get Pierce’s book: Calling: Awaken to the Purpose of Your Work

Pierce is a businessman, minister, renowned author and the podcast host of The Eternal Entrepreneur. Through each book, he leverages his dual calling in business development and Christian men’s leadership to guide men toward success – whether on the job or in the home.

Before the age of twenty-six, he’d launched, run, and sold a consulting company. He was a VP of a top ten PR firm in Dallas, and taught companies nationwide about using Christ-centered business principles. Since then, he’s consulted Fortune 500 companies like Panasonic, United Healthcare, Corning, Ericsson, and more.

But he doesn’t account this success to himself. As the oldest of nine children, he grew up in the boondocks of East Texas and well below the poverty line. Total reliance on God, the need to provide for his family, and a strong work ethic borne of necessity, resulted in his drive.

Today, he puts that same intense motivation into teaching men how to lead themselves and their families well. He’s also happily married to his wife, Kristie, in Dallas, TX.

Here are things Pierce writes about:

• Being a Christian in the workplace
• Equipping yourself to lead like Christ
• Managing your business as a Christian
• Stewarding your life well
• Having a Christian perspective on current affairs

Coming to Christ moves us into God's Kingdom, but doesn't immediately remove us from our history, culture, or customs.

Just as the mixture of influences in Brazil influenced how Brazilian music developed, they also play into how Christians live out the Gospel. And as we begin to understand God works in and through our disparate cultures, we begin to see the incredible tapestry He's weaving together as He calls people from every nation, tribe, and tongue into His Kingdom.

Listen as Davi Almeida shares what God is doing in Brazil and how he believes that the Church in Brazil is poised to preach to the nations.
