What Service Does Your Business Provide to God?
In 2010, I prayed for God to help me find an office space for my company to move into. I was running the business out of my living room and I felt it was time to take a bold step of faith and move into an official location for my agency.
I specifically remember praying for and circling around a certain warehouse district that was close to my house. As you might guess, the Lord heard my prayers and brought me into a new season with a beautiful new office.
I was so grateful to God that I decided to dedicate my office to God and his work. I made a covenant with God to use my office for whatever he needed.

As someone who has worked in all manner of spaces, from a giant corporate office to working from home at a desk in the middle of my living room, I know how important it is to make a space work for you.

Back in the 90s, I used to watch a show called “The Real World.” Seven to eight young adults are picked to temporarily live in a new city together in one residence while being filmed non-stop.
In the first episode of each new season, these perfect strangers would all meet for the first time. Everyone was polite, happy, well put together, and well-mannered. However, as each new episode came out, everyone’s “true colors” started to shine. As the show’s tagline famously said: over time, people stop being fake and start becoming real.
The same thing happens to us in business. Partnerships always start out amazing, then someone’s true character comes out, the relationship is tested, and most of the times, it dissolves. New employees begin working and everyone’s on their best behavior at the beginning, but after a few months, big character flaws start to show up and one or both sides become dissatisfied.
