Why teach Bible Studies to Business Owners?

 

Debra Lee

I was asked this question after a presentation with business owners. I had just explained the services I offer to business owners, and I happened to mention that one of the classes that I teach is Bible Studies and that I am currently teaching from the Book of Revelation. During the Q&A, someone raised their hand and asked, “Can you tell me what benefit it is to teach the Book of Revelation to business owners?” I properly provided the answer I always give in the short time I have for presentations. I firmly believe that three areas of a person's life must work well together to achieve success. Personal, spiritual, and business development are important for balance in one's life. If you drain the fuel tank due to an imbalance in any of these areas, you will pay the price in many ways. The longer answer is much more detailed. Whether you believe in what the Bible has to say or not, it is a great book of instruction. Especially for leaders and business owners. From a business perspective, here is a short list of things you can learn from the Bible about leadership alone. ·        Leadership o  How to treat others well o  How to lead well o  How to pour into others' lives o  How to delegate o  Management training o  How to handle money o  How to handle/mend relationships o  Leadership Characteristics & Qualities o  How to discipline fairly o  Mediation o  Planning o  Education o  How to bring others along with you o  How to raise people up o  I could keep going…as it’s quite extensive. Does any of this sound familiar, like something out of a leadership book written by an expert businessperson? Yeah, it was already in the Bible, the oldest book that has survived for centuries…that was written by some experts inspired by God. It is truly a book of faith. Why do I teach Bible Studies as part of my services? Because both Christians and non-Christians can gain wisdom, knowledge, and instruction from it. It’s always about learning. #biblestudy #education #leadership #development Debra Lee | Biz & Life Coach | Author & Keynote Speaker DLBizServices.com
