  Let Down Your Nets for a Catch
 

Put Your Business Under the Kingdom

At our recent Nourish The Dream event in Tampa, Gary Keesee shared a powerful nugget from the early ministry of Jesus.

Why God Doesn’t Want to get Involved in Your Business

Whenever I teach on “marketplace ministries,” I often ask in my presentation, “Who wants God to get involved in your business?” The vast majority of those present raise their hands expecting me to help them find effective ways to help them further achieve that “divine connection.” To their surprise, I not only don’t help them, [...]

What’s Holding You Back?

Believers today face a number of unique challenges where it comes to really reaching out for and achieving success. Religious training has, unfortunately, not done us any favors along these lines… something we’ve talked about repeatedly here. But today I want to bring up one of the challenges that all of us face.

You’ve Been Called and Equipped by God

Bezalel is my hero. Well… one of them. Aholiab, too.
You may not remember their names. Chances are, you’ve never heard a sermon preached on them or even a Sunday School lesson that does anything more than mention them casually (if at all) when plowing through the Old Testament.
But what God says about these two guys [...]

Staying Anchored & Fluid in Times of Change

The past decade has been full of change. Marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11 really provided an opportunity to look back and see just how much things have changed… and how much faster they continue to change.

And the longer I live, the more convinced I am that business and financial success is almost entirely internal. By that I mean that our mindsets and our thinking control our outcomes.

The Root of All Evil

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV)
In previous articles here, we’ve talked about the inner struggle that some of us face — particularly those who have been [...]
