Video: Apprenticeship in Action

Karla Nugent, chief business development officer of Denver-based Weifield Group, and CEO Seth Anderson know the business of connections – both electrical and otherwise.

Top Five Books to Read with Businesspeople in Your Congregation

One of the keys to preparing your people to walk with God in every area of life is understanding their day-t0-day life, especially the hours they spend at work. Don’t assume you understand the unique pressures and opportunities they face. Reading a book, or excerpts of a book, together can deepen your understanding and spark meaningful conversation. […]

Work Works

In 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson instituted America’s War on Poverty.  Since then, American taxpayers have spent trillions on anti-poverty programs.1 Despite vast resources dedicated to fighting poverty, the U.S. appears to be losing the battle.  Today, some 43 million Americans fall under the poverty line; an estimated 30 million Americans are underemployed or unemployed.2  Meanwhile, […]

Part II: Is Silicon Valley Immoral?

This is the second half of a piece republished with permission from Medium.com. Find the first installment here. Is Silicon Valley Immoral? Second verse, same as the first.

Part I: Is Harvard Business School Immoral?

Let’s do a morality thought experiment. Suppose you are a junior in college and just got a job as an investment banker in New York City. You’re excited because the job was hard to get and pays a lot of money. It comes with all these perks — free dinner, free car service home instead of the […]

Ownership: A Key to Leadership

“If I could give you any one piece of advice about my years of leadership, it would culminate in a single word: ownership.” Coming from Steve Reinemund, that single world carried significant weight for me. Steve was the former CEO of PepsiCo, one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies with annual revenues of $33 […]
Am I an Imposter?

Banks Benitez said it perfectly. When I was interviewing Banks about his work as the VP of Global Expansion at the Unreasonable Institute, a start-up school for social entrepreneurs, one of his founders shared about what it feels like to be an entrepreneur: “It’s like I just joined the very front of the parade and […]

Where is Your Holy Ground?

Have you ever heard the story of the blind men and the elephant? They all went to “see” the same elephant, but each walked away with a completely different view. The one who happened to fall against its broad and sturdy side cried out that the elephant was like a wall; another who touched the […]

Faithful Practice

At Denver Institute, we talk daily about the stewardship of time, resources, gifts and position as opportunities to co-work with Christ in the world. As we engage these topics alongside the tensions and challenges of modern business and leadership, the conversation becomes ever-more complex. And yet, there is a deep richness in the complex conversation. […]

The Offensive Generosity of God

The parables of Jesus have a way of pulling off the veil and revealing what we really love and care about.  They often challenge our deeply held beliefs.  This is especially true of Jesus’ “Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard” in Matthew 20: 1-16.    Jesus tells the story of a landowner who goes […]
