3 biblical tips to jump-start your management career

Three things get us anywhere in life: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunity…or not. Using biblical principles, Sam Chand brings our subconscious assumptions into the light to help us become more aware of this process and thus improve our own lives and the lives of those around us.

JESUS: HIS LIFE, a new series on HISTORY, explores Jesus through the lens of those closest to Him, and this devotional is designed to inspire you with stories of people in the Bible whose lives were dramatically changed by Jesus, in part because their expectations of who they thought He was or who they wanted Him to be were way off.

There is a massive difference between wanting to do something and knowing how to do it. Most of us want to follow Jesus after we hear about all the things He’s done for us, but we don’t know where to start! Learn the path Jesus has already laid for us by starting this plan today!

In this simple bible plan, we explore four ideas that help us grow as followers of Jesus. We will look at scripture and unpack concepts around being Jesus-centered, discipleship oriented, intimacy called, and missionally present.

People spend their lives trying to answer, “Who am I?" and “What is my purpose?” Life is full of opportunities and choices, and if we don’t know our identity, we could end up in a career, relationship, or situation we’re not built for. In Kingdom Identity, you’ll learn knowing “what” you’re called to is knowing “who” you’re called to. But before you know “who” you're called to, you need to know who YOU are.  

In this five-day plan, Bob Goff addresses what it truly means to love one another, especially when it is difficult. He describes how this love will look when it is put into action, as well as the long-term effect that such love can have on the world.

My 10-year-old daughter recently created a beautiful journal to honor me on Mother’s Day. I loved all her poems and sweet words, but one line in particular stood out to me: “Mom, I pretend nothing with you.” That was one of the best compliments I could ever receive. In her own words, she was saying that she trusted me enough to be open and vulnerable with me. It dawned on me that God wants this from us, too. He wants us to trust Him completely and hide nothing from Him. In this five-day study, we’ll examine five questions God asks to help us find true intimacy with Him. I pray that by answering them, you’ll be able to say, “Jesus, I pretend nothing with you.”
