We Need to Be More Confident
This Starts with Trust Last week we discussed the popular story of David facing Goliath and the courage it took. We looked at how we need to be more courageous when facing the giants in our own lives. This past week was Vacation Bible School, and the focus was on David as a shepherd and […]
Building Takes a Lot of Tools
This Goes for Building a Business Too It takes a lot of different tools to build a construction project. Just think about it. There are tools for concrete work, framing, roofing, drywall, painting, flooring, and the list goes on. There are multiple tools used in each of these areas. Think about how many tools are […]
We Need to Have Courage
Do We Trust God Enough? We’re continuing David’s story this week. Last week, we looked at David being anointed king and how God sees us differently than the world does. Probably the most recognizable story about David is when he fights Goliath. Most of us heard this story as kids. You know how it goes: young David faces a giant, overwhelming opponent.

The Next Step in the Hiring Process

Church is More Than a Meeting
It’s a Place of Worship This past Saturday, June 6, 2026, Pastor Lisa was ordained as an elder in the Global Methodist Church. At the beginning of the service, she came out dressed in a robe and sash—very formal and not her usual attire. She shared her experience from the day before. It was very […]
How Do You Hire the Right People?
Isn’t This a Question We’d All Like Answered One of the hardest parts of running a business is hiring people. We have too much to do and not enough time. If we want to grow our businesses, we need to hire people to get everything done. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just clone […]
Don’t Let Your Spiritual Flame Go Out
The Importance of Stoking the Fire Last week, I spoke a little about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit coming like a rushing wind from heaven and filling the house where the apostles were gathered. They saw what looked like flames of fire resting on each of them, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit […]
Scheduling Will Help You Get Control
Don’t Run Your Business Like a Runaway Train This week is the final post in a series about the busy lives of people in the construction business. I understand busy. The point of these posts is not to magically make life less busy. The point is learning how to handle the busy. The previous posts […]
