Podcast Show Notes
Our guest today is passionate about helping high-capacity Christian Business leaders as they address balancing the demands of personal, professional, and spiritual lives while building successful companies and organizations.
Ray Hilbert helps business owners and other coaches through a company called Kingdom Factor: Out of Psalm 78:72: 1)David – flawed leader: Ray and his coaches work with flawed business leaders who want to follow Christ and run a Biblically-based business. 2) Integrity of Heart: Doing the right things; handling your business with Christlike Biblically based principles and practices. 3) With Skillful hands he led them; doing the right things to be profitable and sustain for God’s glory.
Kingdom Factor leadership brings over 60 years of combined experience helping Christian business leaders become who and what God has called them to be. Our calling is building God’s Kingdom in and through the marketplace. Our passion is developing godly business leaders whom Christ is transforming. Our model is focused on developing Coaches who are equipped to be a leader of leaders.
Work is not the result of sin in the world. Works is what God gave Adam to do tending the garden, it was fun, enjoyable, and rewarding following the plan God had for him. It was after sin, that that same work became difficult, and man would then sweat and toil as a result of sin. However, we still work and the work we do is for God’s glory and our good. How do we flip the script and see our work as a missionary endeavor and choose to be able to share our faith, love, and encourage our coworkers or employees, and by doing so bring God the Glory and God gives us the benefit?
Today, challenge yourself to embrace work. God has you where are for a reason – for now fully embrace where you are so He gets the glory, and you receive the benefit. God has something special for you – enjoy the work God has given you!!
Questions to ask yourself:
- As a Christian employee, how do I approach work? Is it because I have to be there with no other opportunities, or is it because I have an opportunity to share Jesus with my peers and my bosses, through my Christlike attitude, excellent work, and refusal to participate in gossip?
- As a business owner, how do I approach this business? Is this God’s calling on my life? How can I use the joys and struggles of owning a business to share my faith with others and have them bloom at work? How can I use my business for God’s glory?
