What does it look like to really integrate your faith and work? Guest: Adam Narloch

Culture perspective sees the purpose of work as making money. But God calls Christians to a different perspective on work, we are called to do everything we do for the glory of God in service to others – including our work. Sometimes it can feel that we are working for two masters, culture and God. How do we manage this tension? Guest: Sheba Ross

This month, Chris McChesney, co-author of The 4 Disciplines of Execution joins us to talk about faith and success at work.

Jenny Boyett joins us to talk through some practical ideas on how to best navigate those tricky, sticky conversations. Whether they are with co-workers, spouses, neighbors, or friends, tough conversations can produce lots of anxiety and heartache. Still, there are ways to make them go well!

Everyone has a story.

We are different.

Conversation comes at a cost.

Things to consider when there is a GAP and conversation is necessary:

Seek the Lord

Pay attention.

Speak only for yourself.

Apologize

Go the distance. 

Wait 24 hours.

Work hard to uncover the real issue.

Think: What story do I want to tell?

Follow up.

We continue the conversation about diversity and unity in the marketplace with our guest, Zakiya Mims.  Note from Zakiya: In the podcast, I refer to the phrase "anti-racism" as a concept that I learned from Darryl Ford. It is important to note that while Darryl Ford made me aware of the concept, the phrase was coined by Ibram X. Kendi who wrote,  How to Be an Antiracist. The book is a great resource that I would encourage anyone on the journey of "loving well" to purchase, read, and personally apply.

Where we work possibly has the most diversity in any circle in our life. This is so cool in so many ways, yet it often presents some challenges –some that we are aware of, and some that we don’t even think about –but that doesn’t mean those challenges aren’t there. Guest: Zakiya Mims

If social media isn’t your thing, this conversation might help you rethink your entire approach to it. In this episode, we talked with Dave Adamson about how to use social media to enhance relationships.

Jesus didn't give us a long list of laws. Instead, he just gave us one: love one another. In this episode, we have a conversation with Andy Stanley about the practical application of these ideas and explore what loving others looks like at work.

What made faith in Jesus so irresistible, so compelling that it spread so far and has never gone away? Let’s talk Irresistible with Andy Stanley.
