Defining Work Success with Joel Barker-CMAW120

What You'll Hear: First jobs included lawn mowing and at Christmas Tree lot, and in college worked for ESPN for $11 Got saved between 2nd and 3rd grade at VBS. Rededicated my life in Junior High and High School Went to college at Oral Roberts in Tulsa, OK.  They offer 65-70 majors. I started out Pre-Law but fell in love with Accounting It's a great place to hear God's voice and follow in it Recent example of hearing from God's still small voice was in when to retire First job out of college was with a Big 8 Accounting Firm, Price Waterhouse Coopers, as an auditor Spent time in Europe as a child and wanted to return and an opportunity came up with a Foreign Missions Organization. Spent 4 years there and met his wife Then took a job in Boise, Idaho with JR Simplot and worked there for 30 years in 14 different jobs.  That company produced 35-40% of McDonald's French Fries worldwide, using the Russet Burbank potato My career goal was to be in a position where my wife could work but didn't have to and I wanted to be with a family friendly company and to rise to a level where I would have the flexibility to participate in my kids events When the Lord has asked us to do something, there's a reason for it and it will ultimately be for our benefit Break 1: 28:19 - next talk about Christian's role should be with politics We should be watchful and actively involved but not obsessed with politics.  God sets up the leaders in our land and will judge them The Lord is in control and our hope comes from Him We should be open to make changes when we get negative comments in job reviews, but not try to be someone we're not There are ways to share your faith that will cause people to come to you
