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. The desire to scale operations and achieve greater impact can sometimes feel at odds with the principles of service, integrity, and stewardship that underpin their beliefs.

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.

Leadership Lessons from Jesus’ Example

What if God was one of us?

Convene Chair Andy Beal recently shared a powerful reflection on leadership, inspired by The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey.

When we think about Jesus, we don’t see power and prestige—we see humility, approachability, and courage. Isn’t that the kind of leader we all want to follow?

As leaders, we must ask: Are we leading with these same godly qualities, or are we relying on power and position?

Great leadership starts with character worth following.

3 Principles of Hope That Enable Transitions

3 Principles of Hope That Enable Transitions

As we find ourselves mid-October and a blink away from a new calendar year, it is an opportunity to prepare for how we view transitions. Transitions allow for reflection and renewal, for letting go and beginning anew, and for learning from the past and creating the future. Instead of laying out trends for the next year, I would like to comment on a fundamental enabler of any transition: hope. Leaders who want to improve, CEO’s who work toward excellence, HR professionals who aspire to deliver more value, and employees who seek well-being all achieve their transitions by realizing hope.

Hope integrates many of the positive traits that shape transitions for others and matter to me personally: learning, patience, service, faith, humility, optimism, gratitude, and so forth. I send hundreds of formal and informal e-mails every month to invite people to programs, to thank people for attending programs, to check in on those I mentor, and to stay connected to those I care about. I begin almost every one of these notes with “Hope you are well.” Hope is one of my personal desires, tag lines, and biases and an enabler of any transition.

If I could implant one trait in my family, friends, and colleagues who are undergoing continual transition, it would be hope.

World Vision is Responding Across Multiple States

Ten days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in the U.S. as the second deadliest storm to hit the U.S. this century, World Vision response teams are still on the ground working with partners to address the most urgent needs. 

In North Carolina and other areas, catastrophic flooding has destroyed many roads and bridges, cutting off communities without basic supplies like food and clean water. Communication has also been very challenging for the region, as many cell towers are down.

Three Key Elements of a Flourishing Business

Three Key Elements of a Flourishing Business

In today’s competitive landscape, businesses relentlessly pursue results, but not all results are created equal. While financial profit is often the primary goal, focusing solely on maximizing shareholder value can lead to negative consequences like labor abuses, environmental damage, and unethical practices. Instead, businesses should aim for something greater: fostering Economic, Social, and Spiritual Capital, creating a flourishing environment for all stakeholders.

To achieve this, leaders need three key components: a long-term coach to guide them through challenges, a trusted group of peers for support and accountability, and a principle-driven operating system to ensure that values are integrated into the business. By embracing these elements, businesses can pursue not just financial success, but true, holistic flourishing.
