Kathy Branzell in on a mission to bring the love of Jesus to every American, and she needs your help.  Her ambitious project, Love2020, looks to touch every person in the US with the love of Christ from another Believer by the year 2020.  Here how, and why, in what Jim calls an “earthquake in the marketplace” on today’s massive program.

After battling a cancerous brain tumor for 14-and-a-half-years and walking with her son through a rare blood cancer, Kathy is well acquainted with God’s grace and compassion through troubled times. Kathy looks at Love2020 as an opportunity to share how God walked her through difficulties situations and is still walking with her today! 

What is your story? What pulls at your heart? What injustices make you crazy? What are your giftings? We want to invite you to share these parts of yourself and your testimony with your neighbors and coworkers through the Love2020 project! Together we can become a cultural influence for Christ!

Proverbs 27:23 says, “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds…” So today, I want to ask, do you, as a manager, CEO, business owner, or supervisor, know the state of your employees – both personally and professionally? Do you know where they are coming from? Do you know where they are at? If not, today is your chance to start - and Martha and I want to show you how!

If you do regular employee performance reviews (we’re talking quarterly, not just annually!), you will have more opportunities to share the Gospel with your people because of how you are regularly investing in them. Employee performance evaluations are an opportunity to sit down without interruptions, show that you care, and improve company culture! 

Employee reviews allow you to sit down and have an open, purposeful, and transparent conversation. And, by doing regular performance reviews, you are able to: 1) Shows that you care, notice, and acknowledge their work 2) Set goals, so they have somewhere to go in the future 3) Create an opportunity for an open dialogue 4) Provide productive feedback and investment 5) Allow the employee an opportunity to do a self-evaluation.

We’re in the middle of a series about what L.O.V.E. has to do with our work. Today, we are talking to Sue Wilson, the CFO of Crown College in Minnesota, about The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace by Gary Chapman and Paul White. 

All of us need to feel appreciated, especially at work. But not everyone feels appreciated in the same ways… for one person it may be verbal acknowledgement, for another it may be gifts, or quality time. So, how do we learn to value our coworkers, employees, and bosses in ways that are meaningful and effective to THEM? The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace breaks down the main ways that people tend to feel encouraged in their work, so that your organization can create a culture of joy!
