Heidi Jo McCarley Beck is making masks for those in need while working from home for Stansley Family Business LLC. You and I are experiencing something we never thought we would, as is everyone in the world. As a Christian leader, all sorts of questions have been forming. How do I treat the people I lead, while at the same time making sure my organization keeps afloat? How can I help guide my people, many of whom are scared, through these turbulent waters? And, what about everything at home and in my own life? To make matters worse, we're now told we need to isolate. Unfortu- nately, this plays right into Satan's hands. One of the meanings of the word devil, in Greek, is, \"to divide.\" And that is exactly what's happening in our world... we're being divided. If there was ever a time to come together as leaders, it is now! We need a place to wrestle through the issues we're facing at work, and at home. And we need to find a safe, and confidential, place which allows us to do this in a God-honoring way. I'd like to invite you to learn about such a place. Truth At Work has been in NW Ohio and SE Michigan for over 11 years. During this time, we have seen God do amazing things in the personal and spiritual lives of our 65+ members as well as in their families and organizations. And I believe this is just the beginning. Each group commits to working together, like a personal board of advisers. Individuals help and challenge one another to grow each of their organizations in a God-honoring way, while helping each other to grow personally and spiritually.
