It’s not unusual for an attraction to develop between a man and a woman who work together. Spending hours side by side can naturally create a connection. I want to examine some of the pitfalls that can show up in those situations. Most of us have seen relationships develop between coworkers—or maybe experienced that spark ourselves. What should a Christian woman do if she begins to feel attracted to a male coworker or senses he’s attracted to her? The first thing is to ask a very simple question: Are either of you married? If the answer is yes, then the path forward is actually very clear. That attraction is something you simply cannot encourage. No private conversations, lingering looks, or emotional sharing that crosses a line. You don’t even have to pray about the decision—just pray you will obey God. That’s it. Full stop. The wisest step is to create distance; marriages should always be protected. Female attention from a man can feel flattering—especially if you’re single or going through a lonely season. But many inappropriate relationships start in a very ordinary and innocent way: someone is a good listener. I’ve heard women say, “He didn’t have anyone else to talk to. I was the only friend he had.” But that kind of emotional closeness can quietly move into dangerous territory. You can find yourself in an emotional affair. Now, if both of you are single, a relationship might be worth considering. But as a Christian woman, you’ll want to look carefully at the bigger picture. It’s important he share your faith in Jesus Christ—and your level of commitment to living it out. Even then, relationships between coworkers can complicate the workplace. It’s wise to move slowly and keep good boundaries. And if the relationship becomes serious, it may be best to find a way to separate your working lives. In situations like this, the wisest choice is usually the one that protects hearts—yours and everyone else’s. And it can save you from much hurt and regret later as you honor God through obedience.

I want to examine a situation you may face, and that is managing or working with men who resent having a female manager or coworker. They may feel threatened by having a woman manager or peer, or their background could have prejudiced them against women in business. I was one of the first women in IBM sales; this goes back many years. There was an older salesman in my office who was totally against women in sales. He thought this was the worst move IBM had ever made. The first year I was in that office, he hardly spoke to me. He figured I wasn’t going to last; women couldn’t make it in sales, he thought, so why bother with me. For one year he observed and noticed I was having pretty good success at selling, making my quotas, winning some awards, etc. Then one day he watched me make a presentation to a prospect, and he was impressed. He began to ask me to make sales calls with him, and we became a very effective sales team. We became good friends and laughed about those early days. But it took time for him to change his attitude toward women in sales. Often time is the key word, and many women don’t want to give the men time to change. After all, we have our rights, don’t we? After all, we deserve our opportunity! After all, we have lots of lost time to make up and the business world owes us something, right?! That’s the world’s attitude. But as a Christian woman that is a totally anti-biblical attitude. We don’t have rights because we’ve given our rights over to our Creator and our Savior. We are his servants. That doesn’t mean we allow people to walk all over us, but it does mean our attitude is one of servanthood, not trying to get what’s coming to us. It means we have patience and compassion toward those men who are prejudiced toward women, even the ones who will never change. And that takes lots of prayer on our part. I encourage you to use these situations as opportunities to demonstrate what God’s love is all about. Go out of your way to understand them; ask God to help you see them through his eyes. Pray for their benefit and let God take care of the rest. That’s the most important and effective way to deal with men who have the wrong attitude toward women in the workplace.

I’m examining a subject that is of interest to most women—men. In particular, the men in our working worlds. I think I speak for most women when I say life without men would be pretty dull. We’re more than glad to have them around, but when we enter the working world, we face some new challenges in our relationships with men. Frequently we’re engaged with men as peers, as managers, as subordinates. I can still see large sales offices where I began my career, jammed with desks to accommodate about 40 sales people, and there I was the only female sales rep surrounded by men on every side. I discovered quite quickly relating to men on the job was a new ball game, for which I was not particularly well prepared. I want to talk about the issues we face when we work closely with men on our jobs. For instance, is it alright to develop friendships with male co-workers? I think the answer is yes, with precautions! I worked with several nice men whom I considered good friends. They were married, so I was also friends with their wives. I’m often asked if it looks improper to have a business luncheon alone with a man. The business luncheon has become a way of life, and it can be helpful. I don’t believe it is improper, but I think the rule of thumb is, if in doubt, don’t. If you have any doubts, bring a third party along. I remember a young man telling me it seemed to bother his new wife when he had a business luncheon alone with a woman. My advice was if it bothered her, regardless of how innocent it might be, he should do everything possible to allay her fears. He might schedule those meetings in the office rather than at lunch. I’m reminded of the Scripture that says we should avoid even the appearance of evil. That’s a high standard, but we need to adhere to it particularly in our relationships with men on the job. People are watching us, and we represent Jesus Christ, so we must be ever aware of that responsibility.

It’s true that because of our natural tendency to be attracted to the opposite sex and because of the amount of time spent with coworkers on a daily basis, an attraction may very well occur on our jobs. Most of us have seen this happen or have experienced it ourselves. What does a Christian do when she or he feels an attraction to a coworker or senses a coworker is attracted to her or him? The very first moment you have any inkling this may be happening, ask yourself one critical question: Is either of you married? If the answer to that question is “yes,” your course of action is very simple and clear. It may not be easy, but it certainly is simple and uncomplicated. Biblical principles leave no room for debate or discussion on this issue: The marriage vows are sacred and in no circumstance is there ever a justification for a married person to have a relationship with someone else. That means you cannot allow any intimate words or feelings or looks or innuendoes to be exchanged between you and this other person. That is it! Final! If it means changing jobs or asking to be transferred, do it. There is no middle ground for a true Christ-follower. The answer is the same even if one of the people involved is experiencing a difficult marriage. Many times, people tend to justify illegitimate relationships by rationalizing that one or both of them is in a very unhappy marriage. The condition of the marriage in no way changes the principle by which Christians should abide. As Christians we should do everything possible to help hurting marriages find healing. Allowing a relationship to develop with a person whose marriage is shaky will do just the opposite. And let me warn you these attractions can happen even to people who have good marriages, even to singles who aren’t looking for a relationship. We all are vulnerable to the chemistry of male/female relationships, and we must be on our guard at all times. In today’s society I’m certain such a position appears to be very drastic, legalistic, eccentric, and inflexible. But that’s because we have become so infiltrated with the world’s philosophy, that basic Christian principles now appear archaic, even to some Christians. Remember, God’s principles work. While they are ageless, they are not outdated; they are there for our benefit. All of us could tell of people we know or perhaps our own experience where many lives have been harmed and ruined by disobeying this Christian principle. The thing we should remember is these sinful relationships are rarely planned. They just happen when the people involved fail to see the warning signs and stop it in the early stages. If you’re attracted to someone with whom you work, or he or she is attracted to you, and either of you is married, you don’t even need to pray about what you should do. When God’s Word gives a clear answer, there is no need to ask for special guidance. He will never lead us individually in a direction that is contrary to his written Word. You need to pray for wisdom and strength to do the right thing. Let me also advise you to take drastic and definite action. Don’t play “around the edges;” if you do, you’re truly playing with fire. If you think you can have long talks, quiet lunches, or innocent encounters without ever allowing it out of bounds, you don’t understand chemistry too well or you have too much confidence in yourself. Don’t be fooled by rationalizing you are just being a good friend. Many times, illegitimate relationships begin because one of those involved is a good listener. How many times have I heard a woman say, “He didn’t have anyone else he could talk with. I was the only friend he had, and I just couldn’t be unkind to him.” If he needs help and counseling, you are the wrong person to give it. That excuse just will not hold water. There is no good reason for you to ever allow a wrong relationship to develop. And keep this in mind:

2 Timothy 1:5 states, “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” This verse highlights how deeply a mother's faith can shape generations. Moms quietly cultivate our hearts, our values, and even our view of God. On the next Faith & Finance Live, Rob West celebrates the impact of faithful mothers. Then, it’s your calls.

How can you close the Joy Gap? The Joy Gap is the distance between what you expect from life or from your job or your relationships, and what you are experiencing. It’s the reality that even when things are good, when circumstances are favorable—even then they don’t bring the joy and satisfaction you expected. There’s a Joy Gap. But we’re not hopeless, we who are Christ-followers. We have the answer, but we have to put into practice what we know. Let me give you a few simple, practical ways to do that each day. First, practice gratitude. Joy and gratitude are closely connected. When you intentionally thank God for what he’s doing—even the small things—you shift your focus from what’s missing to what’s already been given. So often we just focus on the negatives, don’t we? It’s our sinful human nature that drives us that way, but we don’t have to be victims of that any longer. Be thankful. Speak words of thanksgiving all through the day, even if you don’t necessarily feel them. And refuse words of negativity. Be careful what you say to yourself. Second, guard your thoughts. If your mind is constantly filled with worry, comparison, or negative “what ifs,” your joy doesn’t stand much of a chance. The Bible teaches us to bring every thought into captivity and make it obey Christ. Dear friend, I encourage you to take that literally. When your thoughts start down negative territory, grab them and refuse to allow them to remain. Third, stay connected to God all day long. Just take time—every day—to talk with him, read his word, and listen. And all day long send up one-minute prayers for his joy to fill you. Focus on it all day. You’ll find the Joy Gap closes the more you are aware of and practice the presence of Jesus. And finally, live with purpose. When you’re doing what God has called you to do—encouraging others, serving, loving well—there’s a deep sense of joy that comes from knowing you’re right where you’re supposed to be. And over time, you’ll notice something beautiful. Joy becomes less dependent on what’s happening around you and more rooted in what God is doing within you.

What does the future hold? Does God tell us what will happen? In today's message, Pastor Cucuzza shows us what will happen during the end of the world and the beginning of forever.

Dr. J answers questions about how to use your talents for God.

Sermon OverviewScripture Passage: Hebrews 11:4Adrian Rogers says, “Jesus’ redeeming work was in the heart and mind of God from the foundation of the world. Before He swung this world into space, God had redemption by blood in His mind.”Genesis 4 tells the story of two brothers: Cain and Abel, one a martyr, the other a murderer. In their story, we see a picture of the blood of Jesus Christ that makes a difference.Hebrews 11:4 says, “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.”After the Fall of Man, Cain and Abel both offered sacrifices to the Lord in an act of worship. In Genesis 4, we see the stark contrast in their worship.While Cain offered a half-hearted sacrifice of the fruit of the ground, Abel offered the first of his flock: a spotless lamb, which was a prophecy of Jesus who was to come and redeem.God saw Abel’s sacrifice as good because “...without shedding of blood there is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22).As a result, there was a conflict in their worship. Genesis 4:4-5 says, “…And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry...”Because his heart was not right with God and he was jealous of his brother’s favor, Cain murdered Abel. (See Genesis 4:8.)There are many who have the religion of Cain: who are not right with God and hurt others because of it. It is interesting to note that the first murder recorded in Scripture was over religion; it was also a religious crowd that crucified Jesus Christ.Adrian Rogers says, “Religion is what sinful people do for a holy God. The Gospel is the good news of what a holy God has already done for sinful man.”There are two religions in the world: the true and the false. If there were any other way to God, He wouldn’t have let His only Son die on the cross. Our only hope of salvation is by grace through faith, through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.Apply it to your lifeThere is a red river of blood that flows through all the Bible. Do you have true faith in Jesus Christ, whose blood makes the difference?

We are examining the Joy Gap—the difference between the joy we expect and the joy we actually experience. This Joy Gap has taken an identity of its own; people are noticing it and naming it and studying it. What is this Joy Gap and why does it happen? You might be in a Joy Gap if you find yourself thinking: “I thought I’d feel happier when I got here,” or “Why am I still restless?” or “I have so much to be thankful for—so why don’t I feel joyful?” The reason most often given for this Joy Gap is because of misplaced expectations. We tend to assign too much power to things, people, and circumstances. We think, “If this works out, I’ll be happy.” But no circumstance, no achievement—no matter how good—can carry that kind of weight. It’s an unrealistic expectation. Another reason is comparison. It’s so easy to look at someone else’s life and assume they’re happier, more fulfilled, more satisfied. But comparison quietly steals joy. It shifts your focus from what God is doing in your life to what you think he’s doing in someone else’s. Comparing yourself and your situation to others is a sure way to increase your Joy Gap. And then there’s fear—those “what if” thoughts. What if this doesn’t last? What if something goes wrong? What if I lose what I have? You can’t enjoy what you have for fear that you could lose it. That kind of fearful thinking can drain joy right out of the good things that are happening right now. And sometimes, the Joy Gap comes from simple neglect. When you’re too busy to stay connected to the Lord, your joy begins to fade—not because he moved, but because you did. But here’s the encouraging part: once you understand why the gap exists, you can begin to do something about it. I encourage you to think about what is stealing your joy. Satan loves to steal our joy. Ask yourself if you’re allowing unrealistic expectations or comparisons or fear to create a Joy Gap in your life.

You didn't choose the journey. You didn't expect the joy. Caring for a child with special needs is a full-time job you can't fully imagine. But when you're in it, the feelings can be overwhelming, the tasks daunting, and the isolation debilitating. How do you not just survive, but thrive?

Do you work with people who seem jealous of your success? How do you live as a Christ-follower in that environment without becoming defensive on one hand or a doormat on the other? Daniel, once again, gives us a powerful example. By this point, Daniel has likely been in Babylon for around 60 years, and he’s serving under a new leader King Darius. His work ethic, integrity, and excellence set him apart so clearly that the king plans to promote him and set him over the whole kingdom (Daniel 6:3). Daniel’s coworkers grow jealous and begin looking for a way to bring him down. Scripture tells us, they could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent (Daniel 6:4). When they can’t find any fault in his work, they shift their strategy. They convince the king to issue a decree: for 30 days, anyone who prays to any god or person other than the king will be thrown into the lion’s den. Daniel now faces another test. Will he compromise? Will he adjust quietly to protect himself? I wonder what I would have done. I might have been tempted to find a middle ground. “I’ll still pray, just not publicly. Just for a little while.” But not Daniel. He remains steady. He continues his established rhythm of prayer, openly and consistently. He doesn’t become loud or combative; he simply refuses to compromise his devotion to God. His enemies “catch” him, report him, and the consequence is severe: Daniel is thrown into the lion’s den. And God intervenes. Daniel is not harmed. God shuts the mouths of the lions. What’s striking is Daniel wasn’t spared from the trial. He still went into the den with those lions. But God protected him. Through Daniel’s quiet faithfulness and unwavering trust, God’s power and glory were put on display for all to see even to the most powerful ruler of that time. Remember, no matter who your boss is, no matter how leadership shifts around you, God is still sovereign. He does not change. As followers of Christ, we are called to serve him first with integrity, consistency, and courage. And when workplace dynamics feel unfair, when others undermine you, when it seems like doing the right thing is costing you, don’t lose heart. Daniel didn’t avoid the pit, and you may not either. But in those very places where you feel most vulnerable God is able to show up in powerful ways. Your faithfulness becomes a platform for his glory. Stand firm. Not harshly. Not passively. But faithfully. And trust God with the outcome.

The problems we have in this world are because of sin. Pain, suffering, and evil all came because of sin. God has given humanity a free will, and they made the wrong choice. But one day, God will make everything right. In today's message, Pastor Cucuzza explains how this will happen in his series, "Coming Soon to a World Near You."

What does it look like to finally surrender? In this episode of The High Note, Tauren sits down with country singer Walker Hayes for a deep dive into his family life, songwriting, and road to salvation.

For this final episode in our Unapologetic Hot Takes series, Julia sits down with an expert on end times biblical prophecy: her dad, Dr. Robert Jeffress! Dr. Jeffress has studied the events around Christ’s second coming for many years, and today he and Julia share that knowledge with listeners in a way that’s hopeful, impactful, and easy to understand.

Dr. Jeffress answers each of these questions and more, lending us his invaluable knowledge of biblical prophecy to illustrate how Jesus’s second coming is really the whole point of Scripture.

We’re back in the book of Ezra, walking with the exiles who answered the call to return to Jerusalem. For most of them, staying would have been easier. Just like the Jews in the Old Testament it’s easy to stay in our comfort zones, forgetting the privilege of sacrificing for God's call on our lives. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the high call of studying and obeying God’s word, living a life worthy of our call, and giving our all for Christ. And we’ll remember that nothing can be accomplished without the grace of God in our lives.  Episode Points You can only obey what you know, and you can only teach what you’ve obeyed.  God’s call on your life will require sacrifice. But it’s worth it!  Since we’re called to handle holy things, we must live holy lives. Your calling can only be accomplished by God’s grace.  Scripture References Ezra 7:1-6, 10  Ezra 7:13, 27-28  Ezra 8:15  Ezra 8:28-29  Ezra 9:8-9
