Life on Earth is an Epic Battle between a Focus on God or on Us
What a thrill to be part of a new venture with A2: A3.business!
A few weeks ago we graduated our first group of business leaders in South Korea and last weekend, we launched the first group in South Asia.
The quintessential message of this venture is a focus on God verses Self. As Daniel Fong, Founder and Teacher of Million Dollar Baby, suggested:

"Joe, I cherish A3. It helped to save my marriage."
A Heartfelt Endorsement from a Changed Life
"Joe, I cherish A3." The woman speaking these words is the wife of a key national leader in a country, which, for security reasons, I can’t identify. I have had the privilege of knowing “Linda” (not her real name) and her husband for many years. While I was of course very grateful for her affirmation, I wanted to know more. “Linda, what has made A3 so precious to you?” Continue readingWhen the wonder of the Good News makes all else go silent
That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown!
— Linus van Pelt
If you are like me, you grew with the tradition of watching A Charlie Brown Christmas during Christmas season—that, along with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and It’s a Wonderful Life. I loved those shows and couldn’t wait to watch them when December came around.

In God’s kingdom our work becomes a manifestation of his love for the world.

Introduction to A3
Studies have shown that the biggest challenge we face in the world today is a crisis of leadership. Leaders are struggling to survive. All sorts of problems being thrown their way, and they don't know how to handle it. Leaders are faced with war, natural disasters, poverty, famine, political unrest, social injustice, and persecution to name a few. By building a learning community through a 2-year transformational process, A2 is seeing significant impact. Continue reading11 Questions to Ask to Grow More Intentional
I spent last month quietly at home with the intention of getting much needed perspective on the next season of my life. I was aware of the danger of drift on one hand, and of indiscriminately maintaining the status quo on the other hand.
In the process, the key word that surfaced for me was the word INTENTIONAL. Being intentional was a reminder for me to stay focused, to know what on earth I am here for, to live proactively, and not be caught up reacting to the many needs that surround me, and to live purposely the one life that has been entrusted to me, with courage and humility.

It’s been an historic year for one of the countries we work in this year. Their country has been transformed in dramatic ways and A2 had the privilege of taking a small part in this sea changing season. The country was a former religious kingdom overthrown by a local insurgency which struggled to run the country. The religious groups dominating the nation were constantly fighting back, demonstrating in the capital city, causing all sorts of mayhem.

At A3, we have been affirmed for our ability to identify leaders who are right for our program. We’ve had numerous requests to share what we believe we have learned. So with humility, let me offer a few thoughts on our approach...

A3 recently reviewed our values. What a fascinating journey and valuable learning experience it was! We spent hours in dialog throughout the movement at every level: volunteers, staff, alumni, faculty, board and reference council. It was nothing short of amazing to see things come together.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING...
""There are plenty of ministries to help Christian leaders develop their skills. What sets A3.business apart is a focus on the transformation of a leader’s soul. A3 holds an integrated vision of life and leadership that refuses to separate a person’s calling in the world from his or her communion with Christ. By targeting this deeper level of existence, A3.business equips leaders with a new vision of faithfulness and not merely new tools of effectiveness.""
