Just as technology is a change maker, we too need to be agents of holistic renewal by discerning when and how we should introduce new technology to glorify God.

Personally, I believe the success we have enjoyed on this Kingdom adventure to date comes down to something that may seem simple but is most certainly not easy: truly walking by faith . . . in community with other believers that are also all-in.

It’s easy to recognize what makes a business great. We see companies with great financial results, great customer service, great people, etc. But how do businesses move from producing great results to also serving a greater, eternal purpose?

God wants you to work as a team. It is best to have open channels of communication around a team agreement, daily stand-up meetings and weekly reflection meetings. Be aware of the dysfunctions you may fall into and have a plan to pull yourselves out of them when needed. In all things, seek first the Kingdom of God.

TakeMe is a simple, single-source digital solution to optimize business for SMBs. Starting with payment, TakeMe Pay is a multi-channel, cross-border digital payment gateway for merchants. It gives access to all the payment methods in the world—more than 100 digital payments and 3 billion users.

As part of God’s calling in my life, I’m inspired to create solutions that cater to those who are largely silent and invisible, like frontline workers. It is one of the reasons why we founded Nimbly Technologies, a mobile-first platform for frontliners to communicate, collaborate, and simplify their day-to-day tasks.

If I want to focus on embodying God in my work, I have to seriously consider whether the ability to connect with people — and disconnect — at the click of a button is a net positive or a net negative.

Research by Dan Ariely (2008) found that we all have a tendency to think that the more opportunities we are pursuing the more likely we are to succeed. Unfortunately, such thinking actually decreases your odds of success, because you and your new enterprise will lack the necessary focus required to succeed.

We are now at the end of the beginning. With a widely available vaccine unlikely to be available for some time, some clues about our future have emerged. Social distancing will be the norm for at least the next 12 months, as people live cautiously and in accordance with government guidelines aimed at preventing a second wave of infection. Hygiene and safety will be prioritized. Until then, our reliance on digital services will likely remain elevated.

Just as earthly kingdoms ensure that their ambassadors are well-supported to be worthy representatives in the countries they are posted to, we too will need to have the confidence that our heavenly King will provide the requisite resources and support for us to be His ambassadors in the marketplace.

Nicky Gumbel was once an “argumentative atheist” who thought that Christians “were very suspicious people and I tended to avoid them”.

Today, the 66-year-old has been described as arguably the most influential Christian in Britain. His friendly face and self-deprecating humour is synonymous with the film series used by communities that run the Alpha course.

How do you lead in such an “out-of-control” time as this?

And where does our sense of security come from when much of what we have established is destroyed or, in today’s world, is in lockdown?

Just as God is the Chief Shepherd, Christian leaders are to be under-shepherds who gather and tend to people to help them flourish for the discerned purposes of God.

May our character and convictions as Christian leaders reflect the image of God — His character and His heart.

Whether you are married or single, living alone or in a crowded household, caring for elderly parents or raising young children, a working professional or a stay-at-home parent, there are two things that shape our identity: Our work and our family.
