Faith Venture

The motivational speaker industry sort of sprung up in the 70s and eventually became a big business. There are now speakers who target business people, sports people, men, women–wherever there’s money to be made. The first time I heard one of these speakers was at a management conference in the 70s during a previous energy crisis. His point, though, was that the real energy crisis was personal. Too many people just don’t have the kind of energy they need to succeed in life.

Doug Wysockey-Johnson, executive director of Lumunos (formerly Faith@Work, a leader of the small group movement), just posted an essay on the Lumunos blog about this same energy crisis. Have you noticed a lethargy, a lack of energy for your work for God? He links this to “call.” You sometimes need to remember your call, and renew your commitment to it. Your call should give you energy. Check out his essay. Overcome your personal energy crisis.
