Our friends at Sinapis are doing beautiful work raising up people by practicing principles of biblical entrepreneurship in poor countries around the world. We are big believers in exercising business principles where biblical entrepreneurship is at the center....
We throw around a lot of terms here at The Stone Table when it comes to our efforts to engage the marketplace and the mission of God in the world. Besides Business for Transformation (B4T), we often say Business as Mission (BAM), Tentmaking, and lots of other things....
The Gospel mission to unreached peoples is going out, to places we are taught to fear and cultures we often shun. There is a true awakening taking place amongst Muslims! They are coming to Jesus like never before, quite literally by the thousands. But the mission...
God’s mission to unreached peoples is unfolding all around us every day in thousands of different ways we will never see or fully comprehend. Occasionally, He gives us a little glimpse into how He is orchestrating His mission to unreached peoples. This was one of...
The most contentious election of my life has now come and gone. Or should I say has now come and is still sort of going? We are a passionately divided nation. Even scarier, we seem to be a passionately divided Church. We have Christians from all sides of the aisle who...
"I've always been drawn to Jesus, I just never had anyone to talk with about Him before until I met you." This was the story I heard yesterday over lunch with some of my favorite missionary friends. Because of the sensitivity of their location and their work, I won't...
This article is an adaptation of my sermon notes from a message I preached at Brownsburg Vinyard Church called Jesus and the Positions of Power. Thanks to my friend, Dr. Jason Kennedy, for sharing some of his past sermon notes with me which are reflected in the...

For those of you who may not know, I’m a huge Indianapolis Colts football fan. In fact, my family gets a little concerned about me during the games, during the autumn football season, because I can get pretty intense. Weather I’m physically at Lucas Oil Stadium, you know yelling and screaming, or if I’m in my own living room screaming, the dogs underneath the table in fear or making my neighbors wonder if they should call the police for a domestic disturbance.
You know every Monday morning at our housing company, CRF Affordable Housing, we have a conference call where all of our staff across the state of Indiana can call in and kind of give updates on things that are happening at each of the properties, share stories, and we’re able to share things with them as well. But, the way we have committed to start this call every Monday morning is that everyone shares a win; everyone shares something good that’s happened. Maybe at their property, within the context of their work, or even within their own family or something personal that’s happened.
You know one of the things we talk about here at The Stone Table is how our stories, the story of our life, the story of our careers, really the story of everything as a follower of Jesus, is really part of a much greater story. We talk about our work and the great story and I’ve had some folks ask me, you know, “What does it look like to engage my work and my career and my vocation through that great story? Is it ok if I like my work? Is it ok if I pursue a career that excites me? Is it okay if I make money and profit from my work? Or, does embedding my story in a greater story mean that I can’t enjoy any of those things?”
