I heard a sermon this morning called “Jesus & Your Job” by Nancy Ortberg of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church.
This is a wonderful example of a powerful message delivered in a powerful way. It contains an excellent description of what makes good leaders and how to derive the maximum value from one’s work. I doubt that you can spend twenty minutes in much better ways than listening to or watching this sermon.

Work. A "four letter" word for some. The tasks that define who we are for others. But no matter what we do for "work", for many of us, the "work" we do tends to be the main effort for our lives. If you add it up most of us spend anywhere from 1/3 to 1/... [Read More]

I've been living/working in the DR for two years now, and needed that shot in the arm. I have been renovating my opinions on faith and life and I'm encouraged by a sermon that isn't much like a... sermon.

PS For what it's worth, you have plenty of material for non-religious people, but you won't hear me complaining! Wisdom comes from many sources.

Thanks for the link, Guy. It was a wonderful reminder that the best business practices are completely compatible with God's design for us.

Sorry, Guy, but I listened for 2 minutes and shut off. Not that she isn't a gifted speaker, or lacked ethos, and not that the connection you're making is a bad one, but religion and spiritualism is personal to me -- and, I imagine, most others -- and being a non-christian I couldn't help feel a bit offended that this was posted. Perhaps I am overly sensitive, or perhaps I feel like a line was crossed which shouldn't be. Just wanted to let you know how at least one of your readers felt.

*****************
Luke,
You should listen beyond the first two mintues when she gets past the scripture. Trust me.

Thanks for pointing to this, Guy. If you like this talk, you'd probably also like the book Devotional Ventures. It's a book written by business people for business people about the intersection of faith and work.
I'm sure you'll appreciate it's list of contributors as well.
Devotional Ventures is available on Amazon (and everywhere else).
You should consider contributing a piece yourself!
(Nancy Ortberg was also an advisor for this book project)
