I would suspect we have all had an instance of working for or alongside a leader who didn’t lead well. Given no one is perfect, I suspect it happens more often than not. So, what is one to do when your leader doesn’t lead well? Here are a few options: Create an exit...
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight, making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His purpose, which he set forth in...
Powerlessness can be a gift. It can connect us to God in unmatched ways, draw us into His covering and protection, and tap into a strength so much greater than our own. We were made to find our rest in the Father, but to get there we usually have to walk the uncomfortable road that leads us to the end of ourselves.
I have been reflecting on the word “giver.” The verb give is defined as: “to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation.” Therefore a giver is the one who presents voluntarily or without expecting compensation. What I witnessed these two men give was inspiring. They gave their love and friendship. They gave their time, talents and treasures to their family, their businesses, their friends, and their community.

They gave jobs to those who needed one. What do you freely give? What will you be remembered by others for giving?

Recently, a friend asked for a few verses or parables to shed light on our continuing discussion about faith, work, and calling. The question was not posed from a position of skepticism, but as an encouragement to continue a fruitful dialogue. The gauntlet has been...
Statistics say a majority of people hate their jobs. Most see daily work as something that just “has to be done.” After all, there are bills to pay, kids to feed, school loans to pay off, and hopefully a few dollars left over to do some fun stuff from time to time....
We have a passion for unreached people groups here at The Stone Table. Three billion people around the world have no adequate witness of the Gospel, and a major portion of our mission investment is aimed at proclaiming Jesus and planting the Church in these unreached...
The Gospel message first reached my heart through a restaurant manager at the local Burger King where I worked. Mary Beth understood that God was not a part of her story; she was a part of His. She understood the same was true of me. She led me to the Lord when I was...
Work-life balance can look different to people of different generations. In the past The Stone Table has released videos talking about work-life balance from an older generation perspective, but how do the younger generations view work-life balance?
