In this episode of Being Human, I speak with author, former cop and serial entrepreneur Jeff Wald.
After selling WorkMarket, the multi-million dollar labour platform Jeff helped build from scratch, he found some time to pen The End of Jobs: The Rise of On-Demand Workers and Agile Corporations.
Jeff claims that we're now entering a fourth great leap forward in technology, after mechanisation, electrification, and computerisation. With robots and AI, we face the first services revolution, meaning we will need to renegotiate the social contract, set...2021-04-171h 03

Bottom Line: God has called us into community so that we can encourage one another in the life/lifestyle that He has called us.
Talking points:
- There is no room for long-term disagreements and disunity in the church
- Try to outdo one another with good! This encourages the joy and rejoicing the world needs to see from us
- Worry is not an attribute of a believer that brings glory to God - we must encourage one another in this

Text: Philippians 2:19-30
Big idea: God calls us to be followers of Him and encourages us to care for and celebrate one another!
Text: Paul makes it very clear, as he speaks encouragement and life into the leaders he has put in place, that he wants the church to care for it leadership and for one another. We don't know the extent of the journey or the process that those around us are in. A community of faith builds and encourages as it serves... speaking life and truth in a world that is desperately lacking both. 2016-08-0737 min

Topic: Using the gifts God has given us (as individuals) for His work and His glory
General thought: All of us, at some point, have figured out that there are a few things we have been uniquely gifted to do and accomplish. For many, those gifts, talents and abilities lead us to places that we never would have imagined. We find opportunity, joy and even identity in our ability. According to Paul, even the things that we were “born to do” are to be used as an opportunity to worship God and remind other of His great power...2016-07-3135 min

It may not seem to make sense to say that living in community starts at home but as we look at the text we see that if we want to live in community we need to follow the example of Christ.
We cannot really reflect God's character and love if we are not sure what that means! We need to start with "first things first" and make sure that we are spending the time getting to know that true nature and will of God for our lives...2016-07-1042 min

Have you ever connected with a person who does "good things"and just can't wait to let everyone know about it?! How about the person who thinks they are helping and really, they just mess things up?

A respectful wife has a head of respect (How do you think about your husband?), a heart of respect (How do you feel about your husband?
