🧭 Marketplace Leadership: A Psalm 23 Blueprint for Business Success

Most people know Psalm 23 as a comfort in crisis. But what if it also held a framework for marketplace leadership?

🎯 Discover how:

Revelation becomes Strategy

Governance safeguards Calling

Shepherding shapes Leadership

This is also the second-to-last Monday Mandate on LinkedIn—next week, we’re moving to a new home with even more tools and free resources (like my Discover Your Marketplace Identity workbook).

Anointing: Not Just a Sunday Word, but a Monday Empowerment

We hear “anointing” and think Sunday sermons, oil, and ministry moments. But what if God meant it for boardrooms, Zoom calls, sales pitches, and strategy sessions too?

Saul was looking for donkeys. David was tending sheep. Bezalel was crafting furniture. All were anointed in ordinary moments—for extraordinary Kingdom assignments.

Tomorrow’s Monday Mandate unpacks how God’s Spirit empowers you not just to attend church, but to lead in the marketplace.

"I am burdened with glorious purpose."

When I look at the state of the world I am convinced it is time to ARISE and live with purpose. Scenes from "The Chronicles of Narnia" played in my mind as I reflected on how Peter was called, chosen, and destined to lead the people of Narnia to victory.

The real enemy wasn’t the "ice queen," but the doubt within him about fulfilling his calling. We all carry the burden of purpose—some things just can’t be ignored. We dream of a better place, a stronger community, and social justice reforms. We yearn for change and envision a different reality. We are driven to make a difference.

We are all called to live impactful lives, to bring about change and fight injustice. We see the wrongs and aspire to make them right, yet we don’t always believe we are the catalysts for this change.

The time to ARISE is now. Your purpose awaits!

Hey There! Peter Pevensie has always been my favourite Narnia character and in this video I tried to highlight his complexity (and greatness). I hope you'll ...

Be encouraged this morning.

You are on the right path. Don't get distracted, and don't entertain self-doubt or confusion.

If you feel discombobulated - stop, realign, and remove obscurity. Regain your clarity.

Breakthrough is just around the corner.
