He Is ‘God With Us’ at Work

December 23, 2019

Isaiah 7:14 contains one of the most simple, beautiful and powerful statements of Advent. The virgin’s son will be called Immanuel, God with us. Immanuel is a name with broad and sweeping implications. He is relational. First, our God is relational, existing in a community of mutual love, respect and friendship eternally in the beginning…

Ever Feel Forgotten and Overlooked at Work?

December 17, 2019

The work that night began like so many others, but became a night like no other. Perhaps God saw the shepherds and broke into their world to announce that He had, in fact, entered the world.

Choosing to Rejoice When Times Are Tough

November 13, 2019

No matter how much you love your job (and if you do, you’re in the minority), you will encounter frustration, difficulty and disappointment from time to time. People will let you down.

October 29, 2019

It is no secret that the demands of work, life and leadership are stressful. This is not a new phenomenon.

Title and Rank Are Meaningless

August 13, 2019

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt used because of your professional credentials? Maybe you’ve felt dismissed because of your limited resume.

“How Do I Center My Ambition on Christ?”

July 18, 2019
