“A boss who interrupts an employee a lot is called an extrovert, whereas an employee who interrupts a boss too often is called an ex-employee.”

We are too often double espresso followers of a decaf Sovereign.

Make your life about something bigger than your life.

To become truly free, you must surrender.

The Holy Spirit says: You are it. You are God’s plan. In a thirsty world, people need to be refreshed. It is a broken world, and people need to be healed. Now get out there and do it!

The good news as Jesus preached it is not just about the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven when you die. It is about the glorious redemption of human life-your life.

The character of the faith that allows us to be transformed by suffering and darkness is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

The harder you strike it, the deeper it goes.

Jesus is mysterious not just because of what we don’t know about him, but because of what we do know about him.

Genuine brokenness pleases God more than pretend spirituality.

Disciplined people can do the right thing at the right time in the right way for the right reason.

Self-improvement is no more God’s plan than self-salvation.

I hate how hard spiritual transformation is and how long it takes. I hate thinking about how many people have gone to church for decades and remain joyless or judgmental or bitter or superior.

For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it.

The greatest moment of your life is now. This moment is God’s irreplaceable gift to you.

Who you become while you’re waiting is as important as what you’re waiting for.

Employees make the best dates. You don’t have to pick them up and they’re always tax-deductible.

Employers able to work together with workers and sharing gains and profits will lead to a much better world, getting away from income inequality.

Every good leader is part manager and every good manager is part leader.

I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come out and can shine.

Ask yourself: would you be comfortable printing everything your employees, customers & partners have to say about your culture?

Every employee can affect your company’s brand, not just the front-line employees that are paid to talk to your customers.

Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can’t deliver good service from unhappy employees.

Having a higher purpose is more than just about profits. You actually end up making more profits in the long run because employees really are a lot more engaged and customers see the higher purpose in the company.
