The world is a spiritual place. God created the universe and everything in it. By that logic, who’s to say that business can’t be spiritual, too? So says Barry Rowan, a Harvard Business School graduate and the author of The Spiritual Art of Business: Connecting the Daily with the Divine. What does it mean to submit yourself to the total lordship of Jesus Christ? What does it look like when you view your job as a mission field rather than a mine field? “We don’t derive meaning from our work; we bring meaning to our work,” declares Barry. A purposeful life brings meaning. Find your God-given purpose, and understand that we were created for a specific time in history to work and to serve those around us. This will animate your work life and energize it in ways you never thought possible!

TAKEAWAYS

There is no dividing line between our workplace and the spiritual world and all aspects of our existence are spiritual

The greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all of our hearts, minds, and souls

When we submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the world becomes less, and He becomes MORE

Submission to the Lord begins to replace self-centered desires with heavenly desires

Misty Phillip is the COO of Trilogyworks, a boutique tech firm specializing in cybersecurity and AI strategy. But for Misty, jumping into the AI and tech world began with her work as the creator of Spark Media, where she helped women find their voices through helping them launch their podcast. She is also the author of Spark Your Influence: Inspiring Women to Lead with Boldness, Purpose, and Passion. She felt God nudging her into the tech world, calling her to bring that same level of faith into technology. Misty discusses the realities of AI and how it may shape the future. She also encourages Christians to seek to understand AI and use it for God’s glory and spreading the gospel. AI is just a tool, she says, and it can be used for good or for evil depending who wields that power.

TAKEAWAYS

We get to partner with God in His creation and use those talents He gave us to make the world a better place

Identify your kids’ giftings when they are young and help refine them throughout childhood

If we are always there but never truly present, it’s time we slow down and focus. Shepherd leadership is a calling for each Christian, but developing that critical skill is a lifelong journey. Holly Culhane is the president and CEO of Presence Point, a ministry that develops and supports shepherd leaders in all walks of life. “Service doesn’t have much value unless you match it with sacrifice,” Holly says. She outlines the three key points of shepherd leadership: protection, provision, and presence. When applied properly, these three points change churches, businesses, and communities. Being present in the moment and being present to do the hard stuff is key to shepherd leadership. It’s about doing more than what feels good. It’s about fully engaging and connecting with the people around you - your flock.

TAKEAWAYS

We’re all called to be shepherd leaders, yet this way of living is hardly discussed nor taught in churches and schools

Shepherding means slowing down, making eye contact, and being fully engaged

Shepherd leadership happens when provision, presence, and protection come together and work cohesively

Fostering community and creating space for connection is a key part of shepherd leadership
