"Imagine yourself as a living house...." God is at work building foundations that are imperative to your future, even if you can't see the results yet!
Jeff Hutsell is in the process of turning "business as usual" on it's head. Taking the merit and cut throat competition out of the workplace, this Owner/CEO is intentional about creating an environment built on trust, honesty, freedom to fail, the freedom to create (and of course rising productivity!) and it all comes down to one word: grace. In today's chat with Jeff, he talks to us about how a grace-infused business is different than the world we are used to, adjusting our mindsets what grace really means, how the ability to fail without fear is changing their company and creativity, and what every great leader needs to know.
Some of the other topics we touched on are:
-Experiencing Christmas in Bethlehem
-How a Holy Land Tour opened his eyes
-Finding yourself pampered in your own beliefs
-Jeff's struggle with "grace"
-Receiving unmerited favor
-What distinguishes a grace culture from business as usual
-The key to building an env't of grace
-What can go wrong
-How office conversations have shifted
-The effects of collaboration and rallying around each other
-Freeing employees to be creative
-What every great leader understands
-Is my leadership agenda me focused or others focused?
-The message on Jeff's heart
-Whom we should interview next

Lean in and take some notes because today's episode with Pastor Tom Stonecipher is full of wisdom and healing for anyone who has been harmed by prophetic voices that got it wrong. What should we do with them? Are they still trustworthy? How does God speak to us? If you hear a prophetic word, what should you do with it?
Tom lays the groundwork of a beautiful message for all who have been hurt by the recent events and finding our true identity -- in who we are, not what we do.

The tales of the last missing chocolate chip cookie caper and thoughts about misplaced privilege. This one word in the story of Luke 10 caught me off guard and reminded me of something super important that shifted my quiet meditation times this week! Also, I share how trying to stay undistracted in your quiet time just makes you more distracted! Here's a simple tip to deal with distractions.

Today's chat with Will G of the "Free Will Talkin" podcast is all about exceeding expectations -whether it's looking back at our lives & what we expected to accomplish, how surrendering his family brought the desires of his heart back to him or even how we often underestimate the potential and value of others surrounding us. Will G shares how to stay on track to see the best days of our lives....better than we would ever expect!
Like the tree in my neighborhood, things around us can look so dead, and yet there remains a little bit of life that makes its way to the surface. Taking things from appearances and situations of death to life is just what Jesus does over and over. There is hope!
This chat with Amie Stockstill was a year in the making so we made sure to cover everything under the sun! We did talk about charcuterie boards, why 2019 was Amie's worst year, why women are afraid of their public callings, Let's Echo, true discipleship and how isolating is self-sabotage. We were never meant to walk this road alone.
Also, you get to hear Amie laugh while I choke on an almond and we learn all about Embrace Grace!
