Reason To Behold

In this episode of Reasons to Behold Podcast, Arnold and Tolu explore principles from Business Secrets from the Bible by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, emphasizing service to "God's other children" as a foundation for business, work, and life. This thought-provoking discussion challenges perspectives on value, ethical entrepreneurship, and even the concept of retirement. Key Themes Bounce Back Culture & Repentance – Tolu’s experience of returning to unfinished learning as an example of biblical resilience. Wealth Through Service – The core idea that true success comes from serving others effectively. Value in Business – Examining whether modern enterprises (e.g., OnlyFans, fast food) genuinely provide lasting value. Ethical Entrepreneurship – Navigating profit-making while remaining aligned with biblical values. Retirement as a Man-Made Concept – Challenging the notion that work is something to escape, rather than a lifelong calling. Building Bulletproof Value – Becoming indispensable by consistently delivering meaningful contributions. Love Through Service – How serving others deepens relationships and transforms perspectives. Colossians 3 Mindset – Viewing work as service to God, even in unjust conditions. Personal Boundaries & Serving Well – Evaluating how self-imposed limitations might affect our ability to truly serve. Key Takeaways True Wealth Comes From Serving Others – Success is measured by the impact we have, not just financial gain. Bounce Back is Biblical – Quickly returning to purpose and learning reflects a godly mindset. Redefining Value – Not all profitable ventures align with lasting goodness. Work is God's Plan – Retirement is a cultural idea, whereas scripture supports lifelong service. Loving Through Serving – The more you give, the more love grows for those you serve. Action Steps Examine Your Work Ethic – Are you working as unto the Lord? Assess the Value You’re Providing – Does your work contribute positively beyond profit? Challenge Your Boundaries – Reflect on whether your limitations hinder service. See People as God's Children – Approach interactions with a heart of service. Rethink Retirement – Consider long-term meaningful contribution over disengagement.
