  engaged in culture, ministry, the latest 25 comments

  I am a paid minister. Ever since I became an ordained minister back in February of 2002 most of my income has been supplied from a local church or parish. Getting paid to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a blessing and a privilege and something I certainly do [...]

  [management by God] the secret of your success

  ministry, the latest, workplace 4 comments

  Recently I’ve been in some conversations around what it takes to be successful in the workplace, and it always seems people have different ideas as to what it takes. Some say it’s important to manage your image, others say it’s simply hard work that helps you rise to the top. [...]

  [management by God] lift Him up

  ministry, the latest, workplace 2 comments

  This is a tough one. Political correctness has made it difficult to even say the name of Jesus in the workplace. We’re often required to shut down certain aspects of our lives while at work resulting in a deafening quiet regarding spiritual matters. This has always bothered me. A dear [...]

  [management by God] capture the spirit

  ministry, the latest, workplace 2 comments

  I’ve worked in and around Call Centers for a good number of years, and one thing that never ceases to amaze me is the negativity that seems to prevail. Part of it could be that the Call Center agents only really take calls from the customers who are having problems. [...]

  ministry, the latest, workplace 1 comment

  I was working in a job a while back that I somewhat enjoyed. And because I had small successes, I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to that company. I thought I knew everything, and there certainly wasn’t anyone around that was about to prove me wrong. [...]

  In the infamous lyrics sung by Aretha Franklin, one verse goes something like this, I’m about to give you all my money, And all I’m askin’ in return honey, Is to give me my profits, When you get home. As The Queen Of Soul sings about wanting a little respect, one [...]

  Recently I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing Nancy Orberg’s latest book called unleashing the POWER of rubber bands: lessons in non-linear leadership.

  [management by God] greed and desire

  ministry, the latest, workplace 2 comments

  It’s a question the average Christian has been asking since the “American Dream” was first dreamed. American consumerism tells us that we need more, and if we don’t want more, then there must be something wrong with us. Even the church is split on this issue of “how much money [...]

  [management by God] achieving greatness

  ministry, the latest, workplace 4 comments

  I’ve recentlyhad the pleasure of watching a feat in college sports that may be difficult to ever do again (originally written in May 2007). I particularly enjoyed this because I am a big fan of the University of Florida Gators, but regardless of who you like, or if you’re even [...]

  [management by God] creating momentum

  the latest, workplace 1 comment

  Momentum is a funny thing… When you have it, it seems like it would take the whole world to stop it. But when you don’t, it seems to take the whole world to get it. A train running away at 60 mph could smash through a brick wall, but a [...]

  [management by God] you reap what you sow

  the latest, workplace 1 comment

  Have you ever wondered why people don’t respond to your efforts to implement change (or anything for that matter)? I often hear from other leaders that one of their biggest frustrations is that they just cannot get people to respond or produce the way that they hoped they would. Typically, [...]
