SAN MATEO 23:25

This generation is longing for authenticity. God’s perfect will for you is to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us to not be hypocrites like the Pharisees, but to live a life that backs up what we preach. God desires for us to stay on a path of purity.

Not everyone who wounds you is simply misunderstood. In this plan, you will explore how Jesus identified narcissistic patterns, named harmful behavior, and engaged with clarity and strength. Learn how to discern wisely, set healthy boundaries, and respond in a way that reflects both truth and Christlike love.

This 4-day plan provides a theological foundation for the importance of doing excellent work and offers practical steps to consistently point people to God through how you work. Excellence is not perfection. A longtime Workmatters advocate says, “Excellence is maximizing our capability for a given assignment. Perfection is the endless pursuit of a false ideal.” Excellence is often lived out in small, ordinary moments—being prompt and prepared, sharpening our skills, prayerful planning, and setting clear priorities. Excellent work reflects how we think about God, serve others in love, and build credibility for sharing our faith in everyday life.

Too many people lose their mind when they fall in love. That’s when the real insanity—and eventual heartache—begins. This chapter provides an alternative. We call it smart love, and it will help you evaluate your romantic relationships with your head, not just your heart.
