What Really Matters: Love + Wisdom | Philippians 1:9–10
About This Video
Paul’s prayer isn’t polite—it’s powerful: love that overflows and wisdom that discerns what is best. In this teaching, we unpack a practical leadership framework where heart + mind work together: abundance over scarcity, discernment over distraction, integrity over image. You’ll learn how to bridge compassion and clarity in your decisions—at home, in teams, and in the boardroom—so you can pursue not just the good, but the best. Lead with love, steer with wisdom. Takeaways: Overflow over trickle: create cultures of abundance, safety, and uplift. Pair love with discernment: passion + precision beat hustle alone. Choose best over good: integrity before optics, purpose before pace. Hire and decide by character and competence. Align heart and mind before moves: “What does love require?” + “What would wisdom choose?” Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life—then practice the “two-question filter” on your next decision. Where do you need to choose the best over the merely good this week?

How God’s Truth Sets You Free In Life And Business
Your heart is the control center, influencing everything you do, so guard it above all else, even strategy and brand. Are you truly aware of what shapes your inner life, the one steering your decisions? Examine your daily inputs, because what fills you eventually spills out into your leadership and life.
When Truth Meets A Tired Leader
Feeling the weight of leadership? Remember, endurance isn't just grinding harder, it's God-given strength to stay true to your calling. Ask yourself: Whose truth are you building on, and is it truly setting you free?
The Reflex That Rewrites the Room
Feeling squeezed by pressure or puffed up by success? Scripture offers a simple reflex: pray in the pinch, praise in the plenty. This isn't mood management, it's spiritual alignment, choosing God's voice first in every moment, leading to courage and humility in your team.
Be Strong and Take Heart
Feeling hemmed in by endless demands? Psalm 31 reminds us that true strength isn't about "acting tough," but about receiving courage from a Source greater than ourselves. Learn to refuel by drawing near to God, and lead with a quiet heart, knowing you are carried, not cut off.
