The Conflict Between Grace and Performance

Shawn Sommerkamp • May 18, 2020
Christian workplace leaders face a unique dilemma when managing team performance: Do we show our employees more grace than our non-Christian counterparts? Is it wrong for us to demand high performance from these employees? The best way to approach this answer, and therefore develop our own leadership style, is to study the life of Christ. Which side of the line did He walk?

Whether you are a leader in your career field or not, this video will provide careful insight about how to approach the grace vs performance question.  Enjoy!

You Can't Help Someone Who Doesn't Want It

By Shawn Sommerkamp • May 23, 2022

Our career can be a big part of our spiritual act of worship when we choose to vocally give Him the credit. Watch to find out more.

By Shawn Sommerkamp • March 7, 2022
