The Well

God wants us to see our money as a trust fund to manage. Because the believers in Macedonia loved God, they gave of their finances joyfully and sacrificially. In this message from 2 Corinthians 8–9, Pastor Lutzer calls all of us to a higher standard of giving. What should we expect when we started to tithe 10% of our income?

Down through the ages, God has been known by many names. Dr. Ron Jones takes us through a few of them next, on today’s edition of Something Good. The names of God are not mere titles or labels. They’re a reflection of who He is, His character and nature. Coming up next, Ron takes us to the book of Isaiah to identify seven names associated with the birth of Christ. Stay with us now as he kicks off his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”  

We’ve been looking at the external influences of buildings, traditions, worship styles, and other elements. Can we miss the internal priorities while sorting out the externals? This study moves to the heart of the matter, literally.

Mark 7:14-23

Peter is writing to believers who are living in the midst of a storm and coping with the uncomfortable sensation of being unsteadied by the winds swirling about them. Opposition, scorn, persecution for the faith—true suffering as believers—these are realities confronting them and threatening to intensify against them. As he concludes his letter, Peter now gives to these believers and to us some concrete and practical advice concerning the way in which we should hold our ground and keep our footing in such unsteady and unsteadying times.

Doug Shaw, the author of CURATIVE CULTURE, Stepping Away from A Toxic Workplace, talks with Wayne Shepherd.   (click for more...) 

Websites: www.dougshawperspective.com AND www.douglasshaw.com

Doug Shaw, chairman and CEO of Douglas Shaw & Associates and author of Curative Culture, discusses his humble upbringing in a hand-built cabin in Washington and how those early experiences shaped his sense of purpose and work ethic. He explains the concept of a “curative culture” as the opposite of a toxic workplace—an environment grounded in hope, opportunity, trust, and recognition of each person's humanity, influenced by his Christian faith and the belief that people are created in the image of God. Shaw emphasizes servant leadership, the legitimate use of power, and the responsibility of leaders to desire the success of their coworkers and support them through personal and professional challenges. Drawing from personal stories, including the loss of his father and past unhealthy work experiences, he advocates for values-driven organizations where excellence, empathy, accountability, and genuine care shape how people work together. His book aims to help both nonprofit and for-profit leaders create healthier, more life-giving workplaces.
