There’s something uniquely dangerous about being at the top as an executive in high demand. I was in an executive meeting, surrounded by sharp minds, driving big decisions, when my phone buzzed. My wife. I ignored it—voicemail could wait. But, then it buzzed again. You know that feeling of urgency. When your spouse calls twice, […]

I get this question all the time: “Is my career my calling?” Maybe. Maybe not. Years ago, I worked at a global medical device company where I oversaw labeling and instructions for use with our products. One of our responsibilities was translating English instructions into 34 other languages so we could distribute globally. This was

I’m going to tackle an issue, and there’s a high chance you’re already battling it. However, to my knowledge we’ve never put any ideas out on this topic. Let me explain. When I was growing up, two phrases were everywhere: “Just say no,” and “Because I said so.” You remember those? “Just say no” was the go-to

Last month, I was speaking with someone in TMP who confessed something that stopped me in my tracks. “Jeff,” he said, “I’ve consumed so much content about leadership and faith that I can predict what the speaker will say next.

In the late 1980s, as a pastor deeply convicted about the sanctity of human life, Randy participated in nonviolent protests at abortion clinics. This led to multiple arrests and, eventually, massive

When was the last time you celebrated a test? I’m not talking about after you’ve passed it. I mean when was the last time you celebrated — in the midst of — being tested? That’s unusual, right? Most of us don’t get excited when difficulties show up, do we? Yet, James writes something that should

The world is accelerating at breakneck speed. Every 12 hours, information doubles. Think about the implications of that – what humanity knew yesterday morning will double by tonight. Microsoft just announced a quantum computing breakthrough that can solve in hours what traditional computers would take years to calculate. We’re approaching processing power that can design

I was recently at the Kingdom Advisors conference, where something fascinating happened. A wealth manager from a major international bank (that you would know the name of, if I said it) told me even her corporate leadership sees the value in Christian ministry giving. Let that sink in – secular financial institutions are recognizing what

Here’s a confronting question: Could you drop everything right now and not look at your work email or DMs for 24 hours without anxiety creeping in? Your answer reveals more about your freedom than your bank account ever could. You see, in The Master’s Program, we often encounter leaders who’ve built impressive businesses but find

I’ll bet that in your household, there are things that are not allowed to be watched, things that are not allowed to be said, and even things that are not allowed to  be eaten. Boundaries are important in building and maintaining a good human according to God’s plan.  But are you holding the line on requirements for your kids spiritually? In The Master’s Program, we
