Repurposing Business: Recent Episodes
Brett Johnson
A podcast encouraging faith-based business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders to get their business into God's business, and to the nations.
"Let my business go..." is an overall theme. "I feel it can be spoken from many perspectives. God saying, "Let my business go" ...to the church, the world, the devil. "Business is mine... I want it back."
It can be spoken to the business leader, "Let my business go." Your business is not yours, it is Mine. Release it to my hands. Release it to my purposes. Release it from the current constraints. Release it to be for the kingdom, not for your kingdom, etc.
The business leader saying, "Let my business go" as a prayer: let it go from the economic woes, the recession, the whatever, AND... "let my business go" to the nations, to the poor, to the needy... a "here I am, send us" prayer."

Going back to the beginning, just as God revealed himself through his work so he gives us the privilege of peeling back the layers of his character, attributes and nature to those whose only bible is our work. What an awesome privilege! This put a whole new meaning on work, and today people are yearning for meaning at work. Let's reexamine all aspects of work so that it becomes glory-displaying and honor-giving like never before.
"It is finished!" said Jesus. There's a difference between dreaming and scheming, and doing and completing. Some of us don't see all that needs to be done; some see it and do it. We don't have to be perfectionists--done is better than perfect, says my wife--but we should persevere until the work is complete. Is my work "dream and design" or "plan, work, complete"?
Over-spiritualization of the good news of Jesus is one of the great failings of the church and religious leaders. The level of abstraction about practical things like business, money, debt, wealth and work are mind-boggling. We can fix that with practical work that is worship. Is my work practically no good, or good?
Some believe consistency is overrated (usually to cover their inconsistencies) but would not like it if their garbage was not collected each week, water did not flow from pipes on demand, or the sun rose randomly at the whim of a chaotic God. God built rhythm into his work and his outputs. Should our work inconsistencies then be excused as creativity, freedom or empowerment? When we work like God there is a certain, delightful consistency to aspects of our work and a wind-blowing nuance to others.
What drives your work? Is it competition, ambition or the need to put food on the table? The products and services we provide through or work can be someone's best experience of the care of God as we work with Compassion.
Reconciliation can be a messy business yet it is core to the work of God. The whole specter of history reveals the battle between good and evil, and at the core, the disconnect between God and man. Often this gap is most apparent in places of work since work and faith have been artificially separated. Our work is to reconcile. "God was in Christ reconciling the kosmos to himself..." big job, huge task, great honor: "and has made you ministers of reconciliation."
It is our job as individual and organizations to be involved in work that reforms. Reformed people reform systems that transform nations. Re-forming to God's original intent... this is collaboration with God in his Work.
God's opposition works to "steal, kill and destroy" so when we join God's workforce it stands to reason we are signing up to do the opposite, to do work that is redemptory. This goes beyond doing a job--it is participating in the grand purposes of God through our work.
We often like things brand new, out the box. God, however, has given us the job of being restorers... "restorers of streets with dwellings" it says in Isaiah 58. Sometimes corporate greed breaks down, plunders the environment and uses people. Our work should be different: restoring, rebuilding, even refreshing.
Work is covenantal in nature. Deuteronomy attests that even the blessing of our work by God is evidence of his covenant with us. We too must work as covenant people who work like God whose Yes is Yes and Amen.
Gave made us with a brain. Thinking is good; thinking with the Mind of Christ is even better. Work like God goes beyond information and calculation to Revelation. Faith comes from a spoken work (rhema) of God. We see work with faith's lens then make it happen visibly.
Sometimes workplaces tell people to leave their personal stuff at home. Nowadays enlightened companies are telling people "bring your whole self to work, including your faith" -- which they have to do since many people are working from home! God's design for work is that it is integrated with relationship building. Adam and Eve's first work included procreating... hard to do without relationship.
Faith does not just hope for life after death but breathes life into things that look dead. Since our work is produced by faith it can also be life-breathing, "calling things that are not as though they are." Is my work life-giving or -sucking?
Didn't God have every opportunity to make robots, subservient workers who had no mind or will of their own? Yet he created humankind in his image and immediately respected the choices of Adam. Respecting others is releasing them into their true identity... how can we do it better?
We are designed for interdependence yet many factors pull us towards a workstyle of fierce independence. What are these pullers? How do they impact our work? How can we get beyond the language of teamwork to true collaboration... starting with our co-laboring with God?
There are lots of companies that say fun is a value... "We want to have fun!" Is it not more important that our work be intentional, deliberate, purposeful? Also, there is something demoralizing about busy work. It depletes the human soul. Find out about working intentionally... like God.
Hopelessness is a serious issue. Is it one of the causes for the current work crisis? Are Millennials and NewGeners resigning en masse because they have lost the meaning of work? When work is under attack we must run counter-culture and not only work with hope but instill hope in others through our work.
How do we work by faith which, by definition, involves risk while actively protecting through our work? This paradox is the topic of today's Work like God in 31 Ways episode.
God is your provider... that is true. Since we are made in his image, he designs us to provide for others. Furthermore, he created work as the usual mechanism for provision. There are seasons when we survive on the miraculous but the norm of the Promised Land is work that provides. Is your work providing, adding value, contributing to the wellbeing of humankind?
The "new economy pathology" says you can work 7x24, always be on, enjoy this frenetic busyness, and not get burned out. Wrong! We are designed to work from a place of rest. For the ancient Hebrews the rest day preceded the work days. How can we work from a place of rest? How do we fight sitting down?
Many confuse occupation and vocation, activity and calling. From God's perspective they are synonymous. We are designed as worker-worshippers yet we have come to mistakenly worship work. Perhaps the 2020/2021 pandemic will change this so that we learn to work consistent with our calling.
Empowered people empower others. The opposite of empowerment is insecurity and insecure leaders (workers) are destructive beyond measure. We must therefore learn to work like Adam, Eve... God so that we do not use our work to control and destroy, but give life through empowering others.
Jesus set a new benchmark in being others-oriented, selfless, focussed outward. Conventional wisdom says you should hustle to take care of yourself; kingdom wisdom says lose it and you gain it. Why should our work be outward focused?
The work of God is transformational. A nothing becomes a something, a void becomes a planet, the unformed takes form as he works for good. How can our work transform for good? How can I work to transform?
One of my favorite words in Hebrew is "vav" -- it means AND. In this episode we explore the integration of the material and the mystical in our work.
We assume that God's work is high quality, of course, but why do we so often see a "Junk for Jesus" mentality when it comes to the work of Christians? How can we work with quality?
If we do good work in a bad way is the work still good? God looked at his work and said, "It is good!" When he looks at my work does he say the same? This episode unpacks doing good work and doing it well.
Talented people face the challenge of having many options of what to do. Those with ADD (or normal work distractions) can be similarly challenged. It can therefore be tough to simply "do the first things first." This episode discusses this principle.
Order and Faith... this is not a trade-off we are supposed to make. Order & Faith go hand in hand.

This is Day 2 and the principle of getting happy before we get stuck into our work. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Working from a place of rest prevents fatigue and burnout.
Day 1 of 31 Ways: precede putting pen to paper with an active invitation to the Holy Spirit. This is not to ask him to bless your work but a recognition that he is inviting you into what he is doing. So begins a Divine-man collaboration.

Some years ago my wife, Lyn, and I sat around our kitchen table with a group of single but-want-to-be-married folks in their twenties and thirties. I made the following statement: "Women have an availability index emblazoned on their foreheads letting men know whether they are even approachable. Some indices are so low it would be going into the arctic to venture there, and some are so high they come off as needy. Right in the middle is 'the zone' of healthy availability."
In this podcast episode, we discuss the Initiative Index, how to get over obstacles that men might face in taking initiative when it comes to relationships.

God is ahead of you in the rēStart
Moses is still making excuses… this is a big assignment and he is wondering if the email went to the wrong guy.
Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”
Thanks, but no thanks. God is not impressed with this. He is calling you because there is a need, not because you are talented, smart, spiritual, gifted, eloquent or the best shepherd in Midianville.
Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you.
God has thought through your shortcomings. Don’t get coy. Get on with the assignment.

In this podcast episode, Brett Johnson discusses how you can ask for affirmation.
With thoughts potentially running through your mind such as, “What if they don’t believe me…?” We remember a staff and a hand signal. God does confirm his words with signs and wonders. “These signs shall accompany those who believe…”
But don’t push it: false humility is not pretty!

Moses is minding his business and he receives a divine interruption. The news is good - The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey…
Then comes the surprise: “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
In this episode, Brett Johnson talks through a few clarifying questions:
Question #1 Who am I? And, #2, “Who is sending me?”
It is good to know your identity, it is smart to know your calling, and it is essential to know who is sending you.

In this episode, Brett Johnson talks about how sometimes you need to be in something in order to liberate others from it.
Moses was raised inside the Egyptian system. A pagan princess named a Jewish boy who got to know the system from which Israel would need liberation.
Moses knew the courts of Pharaoh because he grew up a prince in those courts. He had a good 40 years to think about the good, the bad, and the ugly of those systems. Moses knew what they were like which ultimately led to the liberation of a nation.
Brett touches on how you can seldom be a 2 Corinthians 5 minister of reconciliation if you don’t understand both systems.

In this episode, Brett Johnson talks about how sometimes your success will attract jealousy in your opponents. When you ask God to bless you, it is important to choose to have broad shoulders.
"Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.” - Ex 1: 8-10
Brett also touches on how other times you are just a part of a larger span of history; your story has its context in His story. If you want to get into God’s business, it is no longer all about you and your business, career, wealth, or legacy. Ultimately, the leading of God to Egypt nearly 430 years before had resulted in infanticide and genocide.
“Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” - Ex 1:22

"Let my business go..." is an overall theme for the Repurposing Business Podcast. "I feel it can be spoken from many perspectives. God saying, "Let my business go" ...to the church, the world, the devil. "Business is mine... I want it back."
It can be spoken to the business leader, "Let my business go." Your business is not yours, it is Mine. Release it to my hands. Release it to my purposes. Release it from the current constraints. Release it to be for the kingdom, not for your kingdom, etc.
The business leader saying, "Let my business go" as a prayer: let it go from the economic woes, the recession, the whatever, AND... "let my business go" to the nations, to the poor, to the needy... a "here I am, send us" prayer."
