Walking in the Spirit at Work

The “walk” in the Spirit is a very short walk, about 6 inches, the approximate distance between our ears. It is a battle fought in our thought life. Our actions are born in our minds. Continuing thoughts eventually become actions, and these actions comprise our walk. To walk in the Spirit we must learn to let Him make the choices of what thoughts we allow to continue. And in order to let Him...

Radical Christian CEO’s

WARNING: The following may be dangerous to our comfort. What if all Christians were buried in the same graveyard? What if that graveyard was separated into three sections?

Which section would you hope to be put to rest in?...

It’s been said that “The circumstances of life don’t make me who I am; they reveal whose I...

Where Does Jesus Show?

C12’s tagline is “Building GREAT Businesses for a GREATER Purpose.” Imagine being a ‘fly on the wall’ and somehow being able to quietly observe your company as an employee, customer, supplier, or competitor would. What would you observe on a regular basis that would lead you to think that your company belonged to Christ and was being led by a believing manager or steward? What would you...

Breakthrough Discipline: Balancing Strategy & Execution

There’s much to consider under the broad banner of strategy and execution. The fact is that it’s relatively easier to develop a topnotch strategy, based on your industry’s future direction and competitive opportunities, than to discipline yourself to execute ‘stretch’ operating objectives. During growth periods this becomes even more difficult due to the challenge of hiring and training...

Guerrilla Marketing – Doing a lot with a little

Jay Levinson, a long-time major ad agency executive, first popularized the term ‘Guerrilla Marketing’ in his 1984 best-selling book of the same name. In the generation since then, the guerrilla marketing label has morphed into a ‘hip’, catch-all banner which dozens of authors and speakers use to encompass marketing for small businesses, as well as various techniques in the digital, viral,...
