Taking It to Work: Deadlines, due dates, delivery promises. If there is one area where Christians habitually lie, it’s amidst our promises at work. Now that sounds harsh, but I’ve experienced it time and time again. Good, God-honoring men and women will promise to do something by a certain date, and well, sometimes you don’t even hear from them. No Read more
Taking It to Work: Recently, we said it is okay to take on more than we can handle alone, as long as we know His strength and guidance is with us. Today we talk about the fear that can take over the best of us, as we are forging ahead through the the sometimes seemingly insurmountable challenges of work and Read more
Taking It to Work: How often have we said, “I just can’t handle this!”? Have you ever had the crisis of faith that comes with not understanding how a loving God could let such calamity into your life, wondering why it has to be so tough sometimes?

Taking It to Work: Our relationship with an all-knowing God gives us access to His great, counseling Spirit. There is no problem too hard in our life, including our work life, that He can’t help us with. We have been taught that, right?

Taking It to Work: The most difficult thing, and arguably the most critical thing, about living out our life as a Christian is actually having a real, working faith.
