A few of Sermons I’ve Preached
I’ve been honored to preach sermons at a few different churches recently. It’s an incredible honor each time a church asks me to share God’s Word from their platform. Below are two sermons that I hope you will find particularly relevant.
Thy Kingdom Come HerE: Work
It was an honor to return to the first church I attended growing up and share my perspective on bringing Christ into the workplace. You can watch the sermon here: https://youtu.be/u0cL6R-mnAI?t=405
Gaining Ground: Margin
As part of a series on “Gaining Ground” to start the year, the Lead Pastor asked me to share some perspective on creating margin (financial & time) in our lives. You can watch the sermon here: https://vimeo.com/253177756

My Podcast - Agile Giants: Lessons from Corporate Innovators
One of the areas of my Carnegie Mellon Research has been looking at how large and established organizations can become more entrepreneurial.

Redefining Work
Most of us will spend more time working at a job than doing anything else. Yet, for too many Christians, work is just something we tolerate to “make it to the weekend”. In this 4-day study, we’ll look at what Scripture says about work and innovation. The goal is to help you find more purpose in your career by applying an innovative mindset.

Leadership Lessons From Nehemiah
Nehemiah was a visionary leader, innovator, and statesman. I believe that the Book of Nehemiah is as good an entrepreneur’s case study as any I use in the classes I teach at Carnegie Mellon. It offers lessons in leadership on par with well-documented examples of exemplary leadership from modern CEOs. Over the course of this 10-day study, we are going to learn by studying the life of Nehemiah. Read the study here:
