As Christian business leaders, we have a higher standard, a two-edged sword in the fight to leave the world better than before. Our call is both an eternal obligation and one of the immediate. In the marketplace, behind enemy lines you might say, we are to glorify God by raising up disciples of Jesus while simultaneously operating at a world-class level-regardless of title or position. Today, more than ever, they are considered two distinct endeavors. In fact, effort toward our present goals have far superseded the eternal. American business has forgotten that pursuit of the infinite accomplishes the finite-and with far better results. Christian business leaders should represent the pinnacle of success. Many of them do. In fact, they are not widely publicized because they make good decisions, thereby mitigating or eliminating juicy scandals. Good actors, proper conduct, and humility are not proclaimed by most media outlets. They are not the standard subject in movies, nor the hero in video games. Although not seen en masse, faith-driven leaders mediate millions of miracles you'll never read about. As followers of Jesus in the American marketplace, we are on the front line between right and wrong. If we choose to ignore God's great commission, we silently agree with the torment that follows. Faith Driven Leadership: God's Blueprint for World Class Business will be a roller coaster on faith, leadership, and business! Together, we're going to climb mountains, traverse desolation, and move at the speed of light. Every once in a while, we will come to a screeching halt. The importance of faith-driven leadership requires that we stop. And think. To facilitate that effort, for individuals as well as groups, each chapter will conclude with questions appropriate for the boardroom or Bible study. Business leaders and owners who want to establish a regular Bible study should consider this a perfect resource for doing so. Church and small group leaders can do the same. Senior pastors who want to lead and establish a culture of marketplace ministry in their congregations will find everything they need within these pages. Together, we will negotiate through the what and the why initially, but most of our time is on the how, of both faith-driven leadership and world-class business. If it is not obvious from the title, our exploration will consistently intersect those concepts. To me, faith, leadership, and business are as inseparable as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!There
