The measure of a Christian leader is how well that leader weaves his/her faith into the fabric of living both at home and at work.
Listening to God’s voice in everything we do takes intentionality, discipline and a determination to be humble, even in business problem-solving. We are often too caught up in the myth of Hollywood that we are autonomous, independent leaders and find ourselves just responding and reacting, that we forget about relying.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG) Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.
This verse is devoid of meaning if we relegate God to Sunday and forget Him Monday to Saturday. In the world of business, finding a 7-day committed Believer is a breath of fresh air. Are you one of them? Are you a person whose faith means something to them and how you run the business - intentionality, discipline and determination in action.
Who do you trust and listen to: mythmakers or your Maker?

I like how you mention that we need God all week and not just on Sunday. When I was a child I had the impression for a while that we only visited God on Sunday. Wonderful article. Not what I expect from Twitter DM. I thought you were going to try to sell me something. This is refreshing and not at all disappointing.
