How did Jesus lead? Is that something I can learn and apply today?

Jordan Ames asked that same question and so began a journey through the Gospels to document and define the various leadership skills demonstrated by Jesus.

In his new book Red Letter Leadership Jordan not only talks about how Jesus lead but also how we can apply those same principles in our life.

Whether leadership in your home, business, or as a professional, we can learn and should learn how Jesus led.

As a former Marine Jordan stayed connected with his family by being intentional to spend time with them and live out his faith in everyday life.

When kids are younger, time spent with our children is quality time, no matter what you are doing. Learn to invest in your children when they are young so they will continue with you when they are older.

Join us as we talk about leadership as a whole and specifically how we lead our family in the home to bring up children who love the Lord.

Sometimes things go as planned, many times they do not. But God’s plans always work out according to God’s plan.

What if you could hear from God so you knew the direction you should go with your business? That would be a game changer.

Today we have on Steve Meisenheimer from The Effective Leader to talk about how God speaks to us.

Steve speaks from his many years of experience in learning to hear from God and then acting upon it.

It’s not a telephone call, letter, or email but God does still speak to His people if we seek His face.

This is not a mystical seance where you empty your mind and have it filled with ideas, but a seeking of God’s direction and accepting of what is given you. It is also validating what God is saying through the Bible and other means.

Steve has changed the phrase, “This idea might have been from God, but it was probably me” to “This idea might have been from me, but it was probably God.”

God may be speaking to you more than you know. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice, they know me, and they follow me (John 10:3-4).

Steve hears from the Lord different from how I believe I hear from the Lord, but this is an interesting case study of seeking God’s face and being guided by Him.

I believe that God speaks to us today through the Holy Spirit and uses the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and other believers. When these four are in alignment that is an indication that a purpose or action is from God. God works through unity, not majority rule.

Listen in to Steve’s journey and how he has learned to hear God’s voice to lead in business and life.

Is there a purpose after profit for your business? What happens when you make profit your leading purpose of your business?

If you have ever pursued profit over people, you may find out like Jeremy did that it doesn’t lead to long term satisfaction.

Jeremy Reyes started out his entrepreneurial journey in marketing with the goal of making money. He did, but he was not proud of the way he did it.

He was miserable and became convicted about the way he was doing business, so he took a very courageous step and shut it all down.

Having restarted his marketing business, he is now passionate about using his gifts to love people rather than using people to love money.

Join us in a candid conversation about the change he made as well as pointers on honing in on your marketing skill so you too can have a purpose beyond just making a profit.

Having mission clarity on what the purpose of your business is foundational to a healthy, transformed business.

The quality of your leadership and mental capability depends upon the foods you eat. That may sound like a far-fetched statement, but it is a reality. You are what you eat.

In this episode we are joined by Jayne Reynolds, a Brain Nutritionist Health Coach, to delve into the topic of how foods actually affect your brain, your leadership, and what you can do about it.

It all began with Jaynes’ own health issues of anxiety and depression being removed within a week of removing certain things from her diet.

That started her on a journey to find out more about how food impacts the body, the brain, and our entire life.

Jayne comes at things holistically and you will find that not one size fits all.

We are all different. We have different likes and dislikes, personalities, leadership styles, ways of learning, and biological needs for the health of our body.

If you want a simple and practical explanation of how to best care for your brain and your body, listen today.

In this episode:

Social Proof: Meet Dan who turned from an irritable and cranky boss to a happy, easy to get along with boss just by changing his diet. Nothing else. It was such a pronounced change his employees asked him what happened.

Simple Steps to Start

1. Eat protein throughout the day
2. Avoid high sugar foods
3. Don’t replace it out, do without

Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

How can we honor God in our business?

Stewardship of health. Your health affects the way you do everything else, and it will affect your testimony for Jesus as well. Don’t let people say, “I like your Jesus, but I don’t like you” because of how you eat, and consequently, how you act.

One challenge from today:

Take your health seriously so you can leave a legacy for others.

Growth is good. But at what cost are you willing to grow?

Partnerships can be great, but not at the cost of compromising your values and culture.

Listen in as we dialogue with Rick Johnson who pursued a lucrative growth option and how it cost him dearly.

Having realized how compromise in his workplace was costing him his business, he sought the Lord, made changes, and stepped away from this growth opportunity.

Operating a business that honors God doesn’t mean you get it right all the time, but when you are going the wrong way, do you listen, adjust, and start going in a way that honor’s God again.

Compromising your values and joining together with unbelievers on a business level is not something we are to do according to 2 Corinthians 6:14. We cannot go out of this world, but at what level are we not to be joined together? It’s a line you need to ask God about and follow His lead.

Key Take Aways:

1. Don’t put God on a timeline to answer your prayers
2. Don’t go into partnership with an unbeliever
3. Listen to warning signs and friends that are alerting you when things are going wrong
4. Take action to make things right. Which may be ending a lucrative business deal

It’s not that you never make mistakes, but when you make them, what do you do to course correct?

Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

How can we honor God in our business?

Follow God’s lead in your business. Seek to get God’s input with decisions rather than looking at things from the outward appearance.

One challenge from today.

If you haven’t given your company to the Lord yet, what are you waiting for? You don’t have time not to follow God daily.

Do you ever look around you and feel you are not as good as others? Does that feeling nag you to the point of negatively affecting your actions?

You’re not alone.

This is a feeling David had his entire life, but this last year has learned a few key lessons to free him from that inferiority mind trap.

Listen today as David walks through the journey of what trapped him in an inferiority loop and what the turning point was that allowed him to break free.

Your past should not define you. Your future should not define you. What others think and believe about you should not define you. Comparing yourself against the success of others should not define you.

There is only one person that defines you that really matters, and it’s not you. It’s God.

You are created by God, as His masterpiece, for good works. He has already laid them out before you, you just need to do them.

If you have struggled with feeling inferior to others in the past, tune in and find hope, peace, and the courage to move forward boldly in your life.

David has gone through that transformation, and you can as well.

Verses mentioned in episode:

• Ephesians 2:10 – God created you for good works
• 2 Timothy 2:20-21 – God uses countless people for His work, not just a few
• 2 Corinthians 10:12 – Don’t compare yourself with others
• Exodus 6:1, 12 – Success is determined on God, not you

Other takeaways:

1. Advice is not as good as counsel
2. The Clarity—Confidence—Actions—Results improvement cycle
3. Results belong to God

If something were to happen to you, and you could not show up in your business tomorrow, what would happen to your business?

Would it fall apart, or would it continue to grow?

This is a question every business owner needs to be asking.

Another question is, how do I work myself out of a job?

Today we are blessed with talking to Debbie Simmon, CEO and founder of Anchor Point Ministries that helps new families survive and thrive from a Christ centered approach.

Having experienced the tragedy of losing quadruples Debbie asked God, “How do I survive this?”

After God showed her how, the next question was “How do I thrive?”

Join us as we talk not just about Debbie’s journey but about how she is leading and challenging her people to think bigger, plan, and stop being the bottleneck for their business.

Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

How can we honor God in our business?

You honor God by being faithful in the little things that no one else sees.

One challenge from today:
