If you come to our home, you will see over our front door a scripted Bible verse. Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” I love the tension and mystery of the two different ends of this passage. In my 20s, the desire of my heart was wealth. ...
While driving through Chick-fil-a, I noticed two bumper stickers on the car in front of me. One said, “Separation of Church and State.” The other said, “I don’t care what the Bible says.” Yet, this female driver told the order taker, “I just love Chick-fil-a!” It seemed that this person likely didn’t understand the irony in her love for ...

A friend of mine likes to say that we are all just one step away from stupid. For decades, King David had faithfully and humbly trusted God. But eventually, David’s pride opened the door for Satan to entice David to take a census. God required that each person pay a ransom to God during a census as a ...
Peter Rex, a technology investor, wrote a Wall Street Journal article about the lack of faith in Silicon Valley. He references a 2018 survey which discovered that 50% of tech workers are either atheists or agnostic. Furthermore, a recent Napa Legal Institute report found that social-media platforms increasingly censor religious believers who oppose abortion, assisted suicide and transgender ideology. This makes ...
For a few years, Unconventional Business Network has subleased space in a small and open format. We recently moved into our own office space with offices, conference rooms and significantly more space. As we head into 2022, the new year and new offices gives our team an opportunity for fresh beginnings, but more importantly, a moment to stop to rejoice ...
According to Gallup, in 1980, 87% of the US population considered themselves either Christian or Catholic. According to a new poll by Pew, that number has since fallen to 63%. In general, acceptance of Christian beliefs was far greater decades ago. This makes our workplaces a bigger and bigger mission field. In Acts 1:8, Jesus told the disciples, “You will ...
A quality that is seldom heard about and seems lacking in our culture today is reverence. Instead of revering God, His name is used in vain constantly throughout America’s workplaces. The Israelites had such reverence for God that when they built the temple under King Solomon’s leadership, no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site ...
You have to admire Christopher Columbus’ adventurous spirit. He persistently pursued his dream of sailing to what he believed was the West Indies. Although he set sail with faulty assumptions of the circumference of the earth, it still took a great deal of courage to set out on a journey no one had yet traveled.
