364. You Don't Have an Employee Problem. You Have a Disciple-Making Problem

Okay, so critique what I said then.

I mean, you for the last 45, seven years, you have been mentored, discipled as a part of YWAM, as a part of Lionshare yourself and what you've been doing.

And I just said that for the people that we lead, you guys don't have an employee problem.

you've got a disciple-making problem for a Christian business owner with saved and unsaved employees and all sorts of stuff going on that we've chatted about already.

Is that true? Is it a disciple-making problem? Can people be discipled? Is that what we're missing in the workplace?

Yeah, I feel like it's a really important piece.

And if we just kind of begin with addressing, you know, business leaders that also say they're followers of Jesus, we've got to always get that order right, that we're first followers of Jesus that happen to be business leaders.

It's like talking not long ago with the governor.

It's like.

you know, when you speak to someone like that, it's like, you understand, right, that you're first a follower of Jesus that just happens to be serving as a governor, right? And so same thing with our artists that live here in our community.

It's like, yeah, you're a well-known artist out there, but are you first a follower of Jesus that that's the overflow? And I think, you know, as a business person, the business leaders that we've walked with, it is a question that we actually just address and say, like, Are you viewing Jesus as kind of like there in the backpack and you can unzip it and pull him out when you need him? Yeah, show off.

You've got one

right there.

Yeah, one of our team members always likes to leave the little Jesus right here on my desk.

That's our problem.

We've got a little Jesus.

He's kind of right here.

And when you need him, you just, yeah.

The genie in

the bottle, I've got a problem.

Genie Jesus, that's right.

So I couldn't agree with you more, Andy.

It's like the reality is you've got business folks that sincerely love Jesus.

They're committed to their churches.

They're committed to give.
