A Silicon Valley venture capitalist recently asked me how a CEO, in a spiritually dark community like Silicon Valley, could apply biblical principles to business when so many are offended by the Christian faith. Many Christians would love an easy way to make a difference without offending anyone. Although we need to treat others with respect, leaders also need to ...
When you sin – whether anyone sees it or not – damage is done to yourself and all of creation. Also, the good you do brings goodness, regardless of who sees. Everything we do receives punishment or reward. Whether someone knows about it, isn’t relevant. If you plant an evil seed, evil will grow. What if you didn’t know it ...
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, over 3 million students will graduate from college this year. As they enter the workplace, many do not yet know that God has a purpose and a plan for their work beyond just making money. That is unfortunate, because the workplace can be a stern taskmaster.

There are baby steps you can take while you move towards being bolder with your faith. One baby step is to develop core values for your team. Most corporate ...
The responsibilities of a mother are incredible! My wife, Kathy, serves her grown children, her mother, and manages our household while launching an Unconventional Business Women’s ministry for Integrity Resource Center! But all this is nothing compared to when our children were very young and she was also working as a nurse. According to the US Department of Labor, in ...
Offering education as a benefit to everyone isn’t always good. A fool doesn’t want to learn. He may only want grades and diplomas so he doesn’t need to think and work so hard. Perhaps the public schools should have a test that discerns the serious learners from the fools, and only offer school to people who are sincere about learning. ...
During a panel discussion Integrity Resource Center hosted, Steve Darr, former CEO of CTA, Inc., was asked about ways that he shaped the culture of his business.
