Restoring the Dignity of Vocation

As a missionary kid in Belize, you can imagine how a near-death experience at age 12 led Jonathan Nowlen into a closer relationship with God. Jonathan eventually followed in his parents’ footsteps as a career missionary with YWAM, where he served in over 60 countries. While in NW Arkansas to drum up church partnerships, God compelled Jonathan around the idea that all Christians are missionaries and the Kingdom of God can be advanced through the workplace. Thus, The Metron Manager Project was started.

Resilience Through Faith

Valerie Bell is the CEO of Awana Clubs International. At the most recent Outcome’s Conference, we had a chance to ask Valerie how she keeps her faith strong. The answer: through scripture memorization and journaling. Accordingly, the entire Awana staff is currently memorizing Philippians 2 together because Scripture memorization isn’t just for the kids they serve! Valerie’s new book, Resilient: Child discipleship and the Fearless Future of the Church, is all about learning to bend but not break.

Building a Glorious Reflection

In today’s show, we talk with husband-wife team Jerry and Carol Meek, the founders of Desert Star Construction and Glorious Reflections, about working with your spouse, building a business on integrity, and focusing on God over goals. This fierce love for those God has put in their care was passed down from Jerry’s dad, who told him the only thing you own is your integrity. And sure enough, when they stopped focusing on their income goals and made giving goals the results were amazing!

A High Impact Life and Business

Most people look at investments as only economical, but Pete Ochs’ company Capital III focuses on the economic, social, and spiritual aspects. Pete’s holistic view of investment impact has led to some fantastic innovations for several of his other companies. Pete’s story should inspire us to ask God how He wants us to innovate for economic, social, and spiritual flourishing!

Thriving in Community

In an interview from the most recent CLA Outcome’s Conference, we talked with Mark Tjernagel, CFO for Cru, about holistic living and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit every day. Cru has a set of organizational values: faith, growth, and fruitfulness. However, during COVID-19, Mark’s team has added an additional value to the list: community. The members of his team need each other, their department needs other departments, and Cru needs other organizations for the whole body to thrive.

It’s Time for a Revolution

Dr. Jessica Rothmeyer is a born encourager. In fact, she was the person everyone went to for help fixing their issues. As a counselor, Jess often saw that people would get discouraged and not only walk away from their healing, but also their faith. Her recent book, It’s time for a Revolution, is an answer for practitioners to cast out the worldly teaching of today and realign their thinking with a new, healthier way of thinking – the Kingdom mindset.
