I am a Senior Executive with track record in both domestic and international businesses. I have led major sales, marketing and operations initiatives. For 11 years I was a director at LifeWay, and a few years before that I was the former Group President at Federal Signal and Managing Director of Textron UK. I have also held several other leadership positions.

Success in the business world is measured by achievements or metrics, predominantly financial in nature. Individual goals are tied to a person’s contributions to overall business goals. Viewing those goals with a spiritual lens begins with the recognition that you don’t accomplish any of your goals on your own. Whatever support system exists at home shares the credit. Whatever team you lead or serve shares the credit for an individual’s success. Moreover, God will receive His due credit when you define success using His terms.

It is possible to be successful in the eyes of the world and live life as a sold-out follower of Christ. Yes, you can do and be both, as long as your values, priorities, and measures of success in both are Christ honoring. There is a bigger calling beyond bank accounts, excess, and retirement. God would define success as complete commitment and total obedience. Once you have that, you are free to love and enjoy His blessings.
