It’s no secret, there are millions of Christ Followers out there in the workforce and hundreds of thousands are running, leading or owning businesses, so where do they go to get discipled on how to live out their faith at work? Truth At Work was founded to disciple Christian Businesses owners and leaders. You can check them out online at www.TruthatWork.org. A few years back, Truth at work was looking for a great leader to launch their discipleship ministry in Tampa Bay and Mark Graham responded to the call. Mark is here with several of his group members to share what God is doing in their businesses as they learn to connect their faith to every aspect of their company.

Many times over the last 8 years we have talked about hearing from God on the steps we should take in our work or in our businesses but how does that work? Since we have an Unfair Advantage, access to the Holy Spirit of God who has access to the blueprints of heaven, how do we use that advantage to move our business in a direction that glorifies God and blesses our community? We don’t know all the answers but we have access to one business man from Austin Texas who has been pursuing the Lord in his Businesses over the last 4 decades. I have asked him to share his insights on how we discern the voice of God in our work/Business.

Tony told us a story of a patient that he tended to during his early years in medicine, during his surgical residency. The patient didn’t seem to have ordinary medical problems and God told Tony it wasn’t ordinary. He prayed about it and God eventually showed Tony and his wife the answer to the patients issues. Tony encourages us to be in the Word of God so we know His truth. Begin with the ordinary, so the extraordinary becomes more normal. Faith is spelled RISK – we get better at it the more risks we take. Tony reminded us that “His sheep hear His voice,” we are His sheep and we need to discern what He has to say.

As Christ Followers out in the Marketplace, should we look different, sound different and act different than our pre-Christian friends and competitors? If we run a business, or lead in an organization, what are the defining characteristics or qualities of a Great Christian Business Leader, or any leader proclaiming Christ as savior and Lord. Jesus changed all of us, including our ability to lead like Him. So Todd Hopkins has been working on this list, for himself and the young professionals he pours his life into on a regular basis. He wanted to share these 10 qualities with our audience so we can all put them into practice.

Today we will cover the final 5 qualities of a great Christian business leader but here are all 10 qualities.

Ten Qualities of Great Christian Business Leaders – #1-10

1. Protector of Gratitude

2. Committed to prayer, reading and learning – As leaders, our prayers must outpace normal people. For our people, organization and our self. Prayer of Jabez!

3. Challenge culture’s definition of success with God’s – Care more what God thinks than what people think. Many say this, yet what people think is influencing their decisions more than what God says.

4. Align personal and business goals with God’s calling

5. Committed to and implements system of distraction control – Good is enemy of great, residual distraction (we are addicted to distractions), environment, Stop using the “B” Word (busy)

6. Accesses Godly wisdom and authority to achieve calling (vs. in own strength)

7. Develops and grows future Christian leaders

8. The Great Christian Business Leader Has a journey focused vision, vs destination focused. – Consistent with the Great Commission, “as you go”

9. Calm in Crisis and Confident in Christ (Proverbs 3: 25-26)

10. Gives God the Credit – Pastor Tony Evans says the quickest way to reverse or stall greatness is to not give God the credit.)

For our listeners who are ladies and for the men who listen who are attached to a lady this show is for you. If you work with women or have friends who are women, then this show is for you. For 8 years iWork4Him has been scouring across the nation trying to identify faith and work ministries focused on the Christian Working Woman. There is such a need for encouragement and equipping of the Christian Working Women audience we even started a brand to pull all the voices we find under one umbrella on our Awaken Podcast Network. It is under the SheWorks4Him tab. Now amazingly enough, about a year ago I discovered a ministry that is called SheWorksHisWay.com. Today we are going to introduce you to Michelle Myers, one of the founders of the SheWorksHisWay ministry which is dedicated to equipping, encouraging, and connecting working women putting Jesus First in her heart, home and work.

Michelle was an approval junkie.  She encouraged our listeners to shorten their approval list and aim to live approved!

When she realized that there was no sin she was not capable of, Michelle invited a few close friends to meet weekly and share in accountability by asking hard questions.  18 months later she works His way was born.  They built community around the content and strive to be the best business expense each month for their members.  As a new member you will be encouraged to calm the overwhelm and realize that life balance is a sham.  Most women experience relief to hear that the lies to they hear all day from the world can be overcome.  In January 2021 they will be adding workshops to their calendar.  January’s theme is around having Godly goals for ambition.  Visit www.SheWorksHisWay.com/freeclass  to sit in on a free class and determine if membership is right for you.

It’s the end of the year. Many of you are celebrating the end of 2020. I have the perfect way for you to close out your year. Evaluate your portfolio of investments and see how your investments are impacting the culture we live in.  Consider your trip to the local huge home improvement store. Both Major companies are building up your community and not tearing it down with investments and donations to organizations that want to tear us apart at the seams.  However, your desire for that vaccine might twist you a little because 2 out of 3 of the companies want to give you a shot but use the proceeds to promote organizations that desire an end to the biblical view of marriage and want to use aborted babies for experiments.  One major soft drink company scores great and the one that makes Mountain Dew – not so much. What am I talking about, the inspire Investing – Inspire Insights program that gives you a score for companies or funds that you invest in to see how they are either building up communities or tearing them apart. Here to clear it all up and to talk about Biblically Responsible investing, Luke Andrews with Inspire Advisors and iInvest4Him.com

Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) scores investments for positive and negative reasons.  Today we will take a quick look at what makes a positive score for a stock:

a.       Business Model

     i.     Business products, services and operations structured in a way to benefit rather than exploit customers.

b.     Product Integrity and Innovation

     i.     Creates products and services which are helpful and create value rather than extract value or harm users.

c.      Corporate Governance

     i.     Policies and behaviors regarding executive compensation, ethical dealings, board management, etc.

d.     Human Capital

     i.     Policies and behaviors regarding equitable employee management.

e.      Social Impact

     i.     Impact and influence on society and communities in which the company operates.

f.       Supply Chain

    i.     Impact and influence on society and communities in which the company operates.

g.     Environment

     i.     Measures company’s impact on the environment, including air, water and land.

h.     Sustainable Energy Use and Production

     i.     Measures company’s use and production of sustainable energy.
