Work is Meant to be a Response

We all work based on our strongest belief about life and work. What you believe determines how you work. Jesus invites you to work the very same way He did. This is a mind blowing invitation that becomes practical as we become the living sacrifice for the good of others that we are called to be.

Work Is a Response

The way you work is an operational response to what you believe about life and work. Your values, systems, process, methods, and unique actions are all informed by what you think is true. What you think is most important determines the way you work.

The Advantage of High Standards and Demanding Work

We are not made to shrink back from high standards. Even demanding work is a privilege to enjoy. People who enjoy and are fulfilled in their work have one thing in common, they fuse their “must do” with their joy of “getting to do.” Watch as Howard explains the practical advantage of doing work for the joy set before us!

How to Manifest Excellence!

People who enjoy and feel fulfilled in their work have one thing in common, they fuse their “must do” with their joy of “getting to do.” The more we see our work as an opportunity to live out our calling, the more purpose and joy we will have in working the right way!

The Advantage of Distinctive Clarity at Work

We were made to be salt — to preserve what is good, restore relationships and enhance the lives of others. We were made to shine light — to point to a better way to work. Watch and see how necessary and practical being salt and light can be.

Be Salt and Light

There is a great advantage in being distinct. To be distinctive means to commit to differences and to be clear with everyone about what the differences are and the benefit they provide. Differentiation is critically important for organizations and individual leaders. What most sets you apart from common everyday work?

The Advantage of Life Without Lack

“What must I do to get?” The world is a performance shaping machine, but faith does not work the same as the world. Watch as Howard explains the practical value of deconstructing our engrained paradigm of achievement for independence (which leads to stress) and points us to the lasting, satisfying life Jesus is offering us.

What Do You Want?

What do you want? What do you want for your work? What do you want for the people you lead?What do you want for your life both now and in the future? These are incredibly important questions. Answering these questions will help you reveal the deepest parts of your heart, especially if you keep asking yourself, “why do I want this?”

The Rich Young Ruler

Elliot Cherry, a pastor in Nashville, gave a remarkable sermon on the Rich Young Ruler by pointing to a series of important questions that Jesus and the other people in the story asked in Matthew 19:16-30. “He's doing everything right. He was crushing it and he was miserable…“That should terrify you!”

Knowing God Better in 2026

God gives us His word and prayer so that we will draw close to Him. When we combine reading the Bible with our prayer time, we are communicating with God.

Receive Your Blessing – Accept Your Call

The beatitudes are a blessing bestowed on you from Jesus himself. They are not an ethic to keep, but a blessing to receive. The more we understand all Jesus is offering — how we're blessed, how we're chosen, how we’re meant for life with Jesus now — the more we understand His invitation to walk and work with Him.
