In this special interview from the most recent Outcomes Conference, Bill High, Executive Chair and Founder of The Signatry, shared about radical generosity and how he keeps his faith strong and centered through reading the Chronological Bible every year. He says that seeing the events of Scripture line up in history gives him a much-needed context for trusting God – something all of us could use more of! Learning to say, “It’s ok” and “I don’t understand, but I’ll still trust” has been key to keeping him going. Plus, Bill talks with us about several practices the Signatry has instituted to help their employees thrive during COVID-19.

Our repeat guest TJ Tison, the co-founder of E5 Institute, is here to talk with us about how important it is to ask God to guide our strategic planning – both personally and professionally. TJ uses God-given strategies to help other faith-based organizations amplify their online learning and community learning through the E5 platform.

Plus, we are joined by one of eE5 Institute’s clients, Bruce Zoeller. Bruce has an organization called The Christian Advantage, which started using E-5 Institute to expand their on-demand learning and engagement. God has taken Bruce on quite a journey, but all along he has been discipling small business leaders on how to run a kingdom company. Tune in as we discuss strategic planning and the pandemic’s effect on our ability to expand and reach new horizons. TJ Tison is also the author of Killing Wonder Woman and has agreed to give away up to five copies of her book, if you call our listener line at 866-713-9675 (WORK). Tj Tison also contributed Chapter 13 of our new book, iWork4Him: Change the Way You Think About Faith and Work.

So many believers feel called to full-time ministry, so they think they should quit their jobs and go to work in a church or Christian non-profit. But that’s simply not what Scripture teaches us about ministry and missions! Each one of us has a unique set of gifts, talents, and abilities. These gifts were meant to be used not only to provide for us, but also to give us access to unbelievers in the workplace – the kind that will never set foot in a church. Today, we head down under to talk with Annemarie Cross from Podcasting with a Purpose. She has taken her love for communication and her expertise in podcasting and used it to create a platform that helps equip followers of Jesus to go out and make a difference for Christ!

Annemarie Cross was adopted into a family that lived their lives so on mission that she never had to learn how to do that in her work, it was natural. Today, she gets to help others learn how to communicate their branding and message through the medium of podcasting. Her perspective that we are ambassadors for Christ is timely, to say the least, as Australia is dealing with increased restrictions and issues around freedom of speech. Join us as we talk about the workplace mission field, the challenges of being a Christian working woman, and speaking out about your faith in difficult situations. You can listen to Annemarie Cross’s podcast, The Christian Entrepreneur Podcast, on Awaken Podcast Network.
