Hold All Things Loosely

True leadership requires the courage to let go of what’s good in order to receive what’s better. Whether it’s possessions, positions, or plans, holding loosely allows us to lead with open hands, ready for transformation, collaboration, and God’s greater purpose.

You did it! You started a business with nothing more than a dream and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. You worked hard, really hard, and the business grew.

Business Blind Spots: Your customers’ insights ...

The fastest way to lose sight of your business is to stop listening to your customers. What you think is happening inside your company and what your customers are actually experiencing might be two completely different stories. Too often, leaders rely on assumptions instead of real feedback—and that gap can cost you growth, loyalty, and trust.

In this post, Convene Chair Mike Edwards shares how to check in with your customers in meaningful, non-intrusive ways—and how to turn their insights into quick, high-impact improvements.

A Christian Business Owner's Guide to Scale

Are business growth and your faith opposed? Christian leaders often find themselves at a crossroads, seeking to balance ambition with their faith-based values.

Yet, scaling a business and adhering to Christian values are not mutually exclusive. In fact, by integrating biblical wisdom with sound business practices, Christian leaders can unlock a path to sustainable growth that aligns with their faith and honors God's purpose for their endeavors.

Your Spiritual Balance Sheet

Your Spiritual Balance Sheet

When you were born, you probably occupied a baby basinet, then a larger crib, then you might have even got your own room! Possibly your first home was a one-bedroom condo, then a two-bedroom place, then kids came, and you might have moved into a four-bedroom place. Some of you ran out of room and moved into a 4,000 square foot house and then, years later, after the kids moved out, you downsized to a small bedroom condo again.

Work-Life Balance vs. A Centered Life

Many business leaders I work with commonly struggle with what they refer to as work-life balance.  They typically talk about the constant struggle to “find the right balance” of time spent on work, family, ministry, hobbies, health and self.  The world is ready to offer all kinds of suggestions.  A quick Google search on work-life balance results in 153,000,000 results!

Order and Life: Work as Worship in Practice

God made us to work. If you’re a Christian professional, chances are you’ve heard the phrase. Maybe from a pastor, a conference speaker, or someone in the office. But when it comes right down to the first minutes of our morning on Monday, the abstract does us little good. How do we take the idea of work as worship and make it a reality? The work as worship idea says that the five days (or more) we spend each week at work give us the opportunity to expand God’s kingdom. We can use the talents and skills God has given us to worship Him on more than just Sunday. It’s a compelling message—but what does that look like lived out?

Practical Ways to Use Your Business As a Ministry

The idea of business as ministry may sound great. In practice, it is much more complex and interesting.  It has been my experience that using our business as ministry looks very different at each business where this mindset takes root.  The creativity and variety of ways that this is put into practice are limitless.  After all, “ministry” just means serving.
