Rick Warren has just finished a series on “Doing Business
with God”, which is all about faith at work. Rick wrote “The purpose Driven
Life” second fastest selling book in the world, second only to the Bible! Saddleback
church, set up by Rick in 1980, has 8 campuses plus an Internet church and
weekly attendances are around 20,000 a week. This makes it the 7th
largest in the US. Despite this he is a very humble and down to earth chap.
There are 5 talks in all, covering such topics as the Purpose
of Work, Making Wise Business Decisions and Standing Out at Work. They are
quite long, several are an hour and ten minutes; I have listened to three now
and well worth a listen.
Rick has a very clear presentation style, he lays out the 6
purposes of work and the 8 principles of decision making and so on. Some may
find it a little too cut and dried, but personally I think he sets out some
great frameworks to apply to our personal circumstances. The Decision Making
talk (a mere 45 minutes) contains some fascinating insights into the decision
making process Rick applied when he was setting up Saddleback church.
Alternatively is you are considering making a career choice, the session on
“The Work God Shaped you to do” would be an excellent start point
You can listen to them at this link. http://www.saddleback.com/mc/archives/
and there are also one page summaries of each talk that you can download.
