3 WAYS TO INCORPORATE YOUR FAITH INTO YOUR BUSINESS
August 29, 2019

Have you ever wondered "how do I incorporate my faith into my organization?"


For the significant majority of Christians, most of who work outside the church setting, this question is challenging. But, despite the complexity of being an authentic Christian in today's workplace culture, integrating your faith into your work may be easier than you think. Here are three small things you can do to make a big difference in developing a vibrant Christian culture.


1. Hire Smart.

Every good leader knows that the individuals they bring onto their team can make or break the success of the entire organization. As a Christian leader, you should always keep an eye towards hiring key players who have a deep faith in Christ. This doesn't mean you have to hire a 100% Christian workforce. We don't recommend that. We recommend that the core individuals on your team believe and live out your core beliefs. When a great environment is created by hiring the right people in leadership positions, the time you'd previously spent is now spent on developing a healthy culture. Be selective!


2. Be Consistent

Consistency is the most overlooked and underappreciated quality of every Christian business leader. Consistency is not flashy, and yet it is one of, if not the most important quality of a leader. When leading any number of people, the best way to create a healthy culture is by building trust in every level of the organization. Leadership flows from the top down, so therefore a bridge of trust must be built all the way from the executives to the laborers. Trust takes time to build. There's no shortcuts to creating a trusting environment. This is why consistency is so important for any business leader. The only way to build trust in an organization is for it's leader to exercise the qualities of a consistent leader. Every. Single. Day.


The next question becomes, "Where does our consistency come from?" For every follower of Christ, our consistency is found in the hope that we have. Whether things are good, bad, or otherwise, we have a strong foundation that surpasses anything that can shake our faith. Our hope leads to our consistency, so without our hope, consistency becomes a result of our own strength. When we rely upon ourselves, our muscles are simply too small to withstand the challenges of everyday life. So, find your hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and little by little, day by day, be consistent. You'll find that things will begin to change.


3. Pray.

The third and final action to incorporate your faith into your work is prayer. Often there are subtle and sudden opportunities to impact people in the daily rhythm of life. Keeping your eyes open and your heart prayerful is the best way to capitalize on moments you can help make Jesus real to people. Ask God to open your eyes to see people the way he does.  Suddenly, a struggling employee, an angry manager, or even a local mission can become opportunities to make an impact. A wise person once said, "life is a space full of opportunities, and our future is dependent on what we do with each one of them." So, pray to God for opportunities, and when he reveals them to you, take full advantage to use the influence you have and make a positive difference.



Small things can make an impact, the sooner you develop your faith and making it known in your business/organization, the bigger the impact will be.

Faith-Driven Entrepreneurs as Agents of Change

By Elizabeth Rivas • March 14, 2023
Faith-driven entrepreneurs, like our Branches Worldwide Leaders, can play a significant role in positively impacting their communities through their businesses. These individuals have a strong sense of purpose and a desire to make a difference in the world, which can drive them to create innovative solutions to community problems and to lead with integrity and compassion. One way faith-driven entrepreneurs can change their communities is by creating jobs and economic opportunities (like AJ in South Africa ). By starting and growing successful businesses, they can provide employment for local residents and stimulate economic growth. This can help to reduce poverty and improve the overall well-being of the community. Additionally, faith-driven entrepreneurs may choose to pay fair wages and provide good working conditions, which can help to improve the lives of their employees and their families. Another way faith-driven entrepreneurs can change their communities is by addressing social issues through their businesses. For example, they may choose to start a non-profit organization that provides services to those in need, as Alice has done for girls and women in Kenya. Such entrepreneurs may also choose to incorporate social and environmental responsibility into their for-profit business models. This can include implementing sustainable practices, fair trade policies and supporting local charities, which can help to improve the lives of people in their communities. Faith-driven entrepreneurs can also serve as role models for others in their communities, particularly for young people. By demonstrating the importance of hard work, perseverance, and integrity, they can inspire others to pursue their own business dreams and to strive for success in their own lives. Furthermore, their demonstration of faith in action through their businesses can serve as a powerful example of how one can live out one's values and beliefs in the world. Faith-driven entrepreneurs can also serve as leaders in their communities. They use their influence and resources to bring about positive change through various initiatives, such as supporting local schools, promoting environmental conservation, and working to improve the overall quality of life for their community members. Our Leader, David , is doing exactly this in his international school in India. Our Branches Worldwide Leaders are proving the multitude of positive effects that faith-driven entrepreneurs can have in their communities. From providing direct assistance through jobs or providing services to those in need to being a source of inspiration for others, these entrepreneurs are creating change that will reverberate across geography and generations. At Branches Worldwide , we exist to connect and empower a global network of high-impact entrepreneurs who use their businesses as a means of transforming their communities. We believe every visionary leader should have the resources and relationships to help them impact their community. Contact us to learn more about becoming a Leader , Mentor , or Donor .

Merging Business Mentorship and Christian Mentorship

By Elizabeth Rivas • January 30, 2023
Business mentorship can be a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and professionals looking to grow and succeed in their careers. A business mentor is an experienced individual who can provide guidance, support, and advice to help you navigate the often complex and unpredictable world of business. Meanwhile, Christian mentorship is a type of mentorship that involves a Christian mentor providing guidance, support, and advice to a mentee, with a focus on spiritual and moral development. Branches Worldwide Mentors serve as both business and Christian Mentors. We believe that faith and business can not only coexist, but that they can mutually strengthen each other. Our Mentors not only guide our Leaders in pragmatic elements of business, but also in their spiritual journeys. One of the key benefits of business mentorship is the opportunity to learn from someone who has first-hand knowledge of the field. Our Mentors share their own experiences, insights, and lessons learned, helping our Leaders avoid common pitfalls and to make better decisions. This can be especially useful for those who are just starting out in their career, as they may not have the same level of experience or knowledge as more seasoned professionals. Our Mentors also serve as role models, offering guidance and support as the Leader navigates their own faith journey. They may provide biblical teaching and encouragement, as well as offer practical advice and application of the scriptures. Another benefit of merging Christian and business mentorship is the opportunity to network and build professional relationships with other entrepreneurs of faith. Mentors can introduce Leaders to other like-minded industry professionals, giving Leaders the chance to expand their network and strengthen their spiritual development. Overall, mentorship is an invaluable resource for Christians looking to grow in their faith and navigate the challenges of life and business. We at Branches Worldwide are honored to work with a number of such individuals. At Branches Worldwide , we exist to connect and empower a global network of high-impact entrepreneurs who use their businesses as a means of transforming their communities. We believe every visionary leader should have the resources and relationships to help them impact their community. Contact us to learn more about becoming a Leader , Mentor , or Donor .
