Excellence is possible!

AMED 50.27

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Excellence is possible!

I’ve had the privilege of coaching church and business leaders in different countries. It’s been such a blast and honor. Some companies were openly faith-based and nonprofit, and others were great businesses with Christian owners. It’s interesting to study the opportunity involved in being a faith-based person in a corporate environment. When you work in a corporate environment, it requires an extra level of wisdom and insight to integrate your faith in an effective way. The Bible says, “‘Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.’” (Matthew 10:16, NKJV)

Have you ever struggled to integrate your faith into a classical corporate structure? I have. After I accepted Christ into my life at 22 years of age, I wanted to win all my friends, fellow hockey players, teachers, and family to Jesus. I was on fire and excited about the Good News. I could never have imagined the backlash to my fervency. Everyone seemed to be so upset with me. In my zeal, I made so many mistakes. I had to take a few steps back to learn how to reach them all for Christ in a better way. 

I’d love to start sharing my discoveries with you today. These principles are developed in detail in my recent book The Keys of the Kingdom, but here’s a brief summary.

First, seek knowledge and wisdom. Solomon penned these recommendations: “Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23, NKJV) Go to school. Pursue more certifications. Read books and listen to intelligent podcasts—so much is available for free on YouTube. TED Talks and so many more resources are at your fingertips to grow in knowledge. 

I recently started my doctoral studies at Florida International University. I’ve wanted to do this since I graduated with a master’s in psychology and counseling in 1984. Incredible! It took me 38 years to jump back into my classical studies. I’m so thrilled. But can I be honest with you? Things have changed. Online courses and virtual libraries are messing with my mind. It’s been very hard for me to adapt, make time, and learn new skills, but I feel alive. 

There’s a big world out there, so jump back into learning and growing. One of my professors, Dr. Boehme, recently shared this quote: “reading is leading.” I believe it, and I hope that you do, too.

Because you are a miracle.

    If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5?

      Amen

    Almighty God I thank you for leading me to meet such a God-loving friend (Paul Marc Goulet) through whom you have blessed me with marvelous inspirations.

    I pray that you lead me to be what you intend me to be in your kingdom/family. Dear Father, I surrender all that I am and have to you so that in return your fill me with more of you.

    All glory and honor is to your Holy Name Father.

    I pray in Jesus Name, Amen
