The normal approach is to motivating employees is to pay them more money. With kids, we typically motivate them with bigger rewards or worse consequences. There’s some merit to both approaches, but I’ve been thinking about what Daniel Pink refers to in his research about what drives people. It’s prompted a few thoughts for both motivating our employees as well as our kids. The research seems counterintuitive at first, but I think it makes sense to enabling our business teams and children to enjoy their work more and do it better than ever before.

Elder My City, with Tim Schmoyer
Paul tells Timothy that Biblical eldership is a noble task (1 Tim 3:1), so I want to aspire towards it.
Like Boaz gathering city elders (Ruth 4:2) or the Proverbs 31:23 husband at the city gates, elders govern, serve, teach, and lead. It requires intentional growth in leadership, faith, marriage, parenting, business, and asset management.
This training starts as a father in our home (1 Tim 3:4), qualifies us to be an elder in our city (1 Tim 3:5), and prepares us to rule with God in His Kingdom one day (Luke 19:11-27).
Join me as I explore what it means to aspire to this noble task today.
