    Rebranding Christianity with Jeff Jones [REBROADCAST]
    Oct 10 2024
    Branding is about more than selling a product. In the U.S., the Christian brand is losing relevance and influence. A key reason is that Christians, who represent the brand to the world, fail to display the promises of Christianity to others. Often times, we do not consistently act in a way that reinforces God’s unconditional love.

    In Jones' new book (written with Mike Hogan), Rebranding Christianity, he argues Christianity must reclaim its brand because it is the only brand that can change the world for good!

  • Work as Worship

    Work as Worship
    Jun 27 2024
    It’s time to get back to the Garden of Eden and understand that God created us to do work.

    The Christian church is, too often, afraid of this topic. They address it with defensiveness, apprehension, and often, misguided theology. Culture is reeling in despair and isolation and yet rather than saying, ”work is the remedy – it will provide you the purpose that provides hope, meaning, and dignity!” – both the world and the church shout, “let’s take a little more me-time and put the brakes on this career ambition stuff!”

    Joining the Decisions Podcast to address this topic is David Bahnsen, the Founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a national private wealth management firm with offices in Newport Beach, New York City, Bend, Nashville, Minneapolis, Austin, and Phoenix. The Bahnsen Group manages over $5 billion in client assets.
