A Knife-Edge in History with Brett Johnson

Sometimes life can feel like a knife’s-edge. Things can very easily go well, but at the same time, they could go quite badly.

It appears as though the very foundations we know are crumbling beneath our feet, and what we once believed to be true is no longer relevant.

In today’s episode, Brett sits down to unpack 10 key factors that can shift our perspective from an earthly one to an eternal one. These 10 factors will help us operate in a kingdom mindset, aiming towards a different goal, all of which seem contrary to the culture in our current world.

A Spiritual Audit of Ogranization Structures with Felicia Uhm Part 2

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 05:00:08 +0000

We often think of institutions or organizations as being redundant, but the complication is that we need structure and leadership. More often than not, we go towards business fads looking for these things.

Scripture lays out clear patterns for us, but our problem lies in the fact that we read it and immediately put it into a Sunday category. What we haven't thought about is, "What does this look like in my business? Or my University? Or in whatever sphere of work we find ourselves?"

In today's episode, Felicia and I continue to discuss my latest blog, Rethinking Organizations, where we chat more in-depth about the spiritual audit of organization structures.

Foundations of Freedom with Dave Dias

Free social media isn’t free at all. If you’re not paying for the product then you ARE the product. Things like data extraction, censorship and de-platforming are all a foreshadowing of what’s to come. We need to be aware of what is going on around us and decide what we can do to change it.

Dave has been instrumental in the marketplace, bringing people of faith together to think about important topics such as this one. A servant leader, entrepreneur, visionary, and Co-Founder of Foundations of Freedom, Dave seeks to see a place where people can share information with each other freely.

Reveal God through Work

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 05:00:26 +0000

Going back to the beginning, just as God revealed himself through his work so he gives us the privilege of peeling back the layers of his character, attributes and nature to those whose only bible is our work. What an awesome privilege! This put a whole new meaning on work, and today people are yearning for meaning at work. Let's reexamine all aspects of work so that it becomes glory-displaying and honor-giving like never before.

Complete your Work

Sun, 30 Jan 2022 05:00:11 +0000

"It is finished!" said Jesus. There's a difference between dreaming and scheming, and doing and completing. Some of us don't see all that needs to be done; some see it and do it. We don't have to be perfectionists--done is better than perfect, says my wife--but we should persevere until the work is complete. Is my work "dream and design" or "plan, work, complete"?

Work Practically

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 05:00:05 +0000

Over-spiritualization of the good news of Jesus is one of the great failings of the church and religious leaders. The level of abstraction about practical things like business, money, debt, wealth and work are mind-boggling. We can fix that with practical work that is worship. Is my work practically no good, or good?

Work Consistently

Fri, 28 Jan 2022 05:00:10 +0000

Some believe consistency is overrated (usually to cover their inconsistencies) but would not like it if their garbage was not collected each week, water did not flow from pipes on demand, or the sun rose randomly at the whim of a chaotic God. God built rhythm into his work and his outputs. Should our work inconsistencies then be excused as creativity, freedom or empowerment? When we work like God there is a certain, delightful consistency to aspects of our work and a wind-blowing nuance to others.

Work with Compassion

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 05:00:11 +0000

What drives your work? Is it competition, ambition or the need to put food on the table? The products and services we provide through or work can be someone's best experience of the care of God as we work with Compassion.

Make Reconciliation your Work

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 05:00:20 +0000

Reconciliation can be a messy business yet it is core to the work of God. The whole specter of history reveals the battle between good and evil, and at the core, the disconnect between God and man. Often this gap is most apparent in places of work since work and faith have been artificially separated. Our work is to reconcile. "God was in Christ reconciling the kosmos to himself..." big job, huge task, great honor: "and has made you ministers of reconciliation."

Reform work, and work to Reform

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 05:00:10 +0000

It is our job as individual and organizations to be involved in work that reforms. Reformed people reform systems that transform nations. Re-forming to God's original intent... this is collaboration with God in his Work.

Do Redemptory Work

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 05:00:29 +0000

God's opposition works to "steal, kill and destroy" so when we join God's workforce it stands to reason we are signing up to do the opposite, to do work that is redemptory. This goes beyond doing a job--it is participating in the grand purposes of God through our work.

Work Restoratively

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 05:00:09 +0000

We often like things brand new, out the box. God, however, has given us the job of being restorers... "restorers of streets with dwellings" it says in Isaiah 58. Sometimes corporate greed breaks down, plunders the environment and uses people. Our work should be different: restoring, rebuilding, even refreshing.

Work Honorably; keep Agreements

Sat, 22 Jan 2022 05:00:11 +0000

Work is covenantal in nature. Deuteronomy attests that even the blessing of our work by God is evidence of his covenant with us. We too must work as covenant people who work like God whose Yes is Yes and Amen.

Work with Revelation, not just Information or Calculation

Fri, 21 Jan 2022 05:00:12 +0000

Gave made us with a brain. Thinking is good; thinking with the Mind of Christ is even better. Work like God goes beyond information and calculation to Revelation. Faith comes from a spoken work (rhema) of God. We see work with faith's lens then make it happen visibly.

Work in a manner that Builds Relationship

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 05:00:13 +0000

Sometimes workplaces tell people to leave their personal stuff at home. Nowadays enlightened companies are telling people "bring your whole self to work, including your faith" -- which they have to do since many people are working from home! God's design for work is that it is integrated with relationship building. Adam and Eve's first work included procreating... hard to do without relationship.

Breathe Life through Work

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 05:00:16 +0000

Faith does not just hope for life after death but breathes life into things that look dead. Since our work is produced by faith it can also be life-breathing, "calling things that are not as though they are." Is my work life-giving or -sucking?

Work Respectfully

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 05:00:14 +0000

Didn't God have every opportunity to make robots, subservient workers who had no mind or will of their own? Yet he created humankind in his image and immediately respected the choices of Adam. Respecting others is releasing them into their true identity... how can we do it better?

Work Collaboratively

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 05:00:15 +0000

We are designed for interdependence yet many factors pull us towards a workstyle of fierce independence. What are these pullers? How do they impact our work? How can we get beyond the language of teamwork to true collaboration... starting with our co-laboring with God?

Work with Intention

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 05:00:09 +0000

There are lots of companies that say fun is a value... "We want to have fun!" Is it not more important that our work be intentional, deliberate, purposeful? Also, there is something demoralizing about busy work. It depletes the human soul. Find out about working intentionally... like God.

Work with Hope

Sat, 15 Jan 2022 05:00:08 +0000

Hopelessness is a serious issue. Is it one of the causes for the current work crisis? Are Millennials and NewGeners resigning en masse because they have lost the meaning of work? When work is under attack we must run counter-culture and not only work with hope but instill hope in others through our work.

Work to Protect

Fri, 14 Jan 2022 05:00:09 +0000

How do we work by faith which, by definition, involves risk while actively protecting through our work? This paradox is the topic of today's Work like God in 31 Ways episode.

Work to Provide

Thu, 13 Jan 2022 05:00:12 +0000

God is your provider... that is true. Since we are made in his image, he designs us to provide for others. Furthermore, he created work as the usual mechanism for provision. There are seasons when we survive on the miraculous but the norm of the Promised Land is work that provides. Is your work providing, adding value, contributing to the wellbeing of humankind?

Work from a place of Rest

Wed, 12 Jan 2022 05:00:18 +0000

The "new economy pathology" says you can work 7x24, always be on, enjoy this frenetic busyness, and not get burned out. Wrong! We are designed to work from a place of rest. For the ancient Hebrews the rest day preceded the work days. How can we work from a place of rest? How do we fight sitting down?

Work Consistent with your Calling

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 05:00:10 +0000

Many confuse occupation and vocation, activity and calling. From God's perspective they are synonymous. We are designed as worker-worshippers yet we have come to mistakenly worship work. Perhaps the 2020/2021 pandemic will change this so that we learn to work consistent with our calling.

Work Empowered

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 05:00:17 +0000

Empowered people empower others. The opposite of empowerment is insecurity and insecure leaders (workers) are destructive beyond measure. We must therefore learn to work like Adam, Eve... God so that we do not use our work to control and destroy, but give life through empowering others.

Focus Outward

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 05:00:11 +0000

Jesus set a new benchmark in being others-oriented, selfless, focussed outward. Conventional wisdom says you should hustle to take care of yourself; kingdom wisdom says lose it and you gain it. Why should our work be outward focused?

Work to Transform

Sat, 08 Jan 2022 05:00:12 +0000

The work of God is transformational. A nothing becomes a something, a void becomes a planet, the unformed takes form as he works for good. How can our work transform for good? How can I work to transform?

Be Material and Mystical

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 05:00:11 +0000

One of my favorite words in Hebrew is "vav" -- it means AND. In this episode we explore the integration of the material and the mystical in our work.

Do High Quality Work

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 05:00:09 +0000

We assume that God's work is high quality, of course, but why do we so often see a "Junk for Jesus" mentality when it comes to the work of Christians? How can we work with quality?

Good work in a good way

Wed, 05 Jan 2022 05:00:09 +0000

If we do good work in a bad way is the work still good? God looked at his work and said, "It is good!" When he looks at my work does he say the same? This episode unpacks doing good work and doing it well.

First things First

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 05:00:07 +0000

Talented people face the challenge of having many options of what to do. Those with ADD (or normal work distractions) can be similarly challenged. It can therefore be tough to simply "do the first things first." This episode discusses this principle.

Work with Order

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 05:00:25 +0000

Order and Faith... this is not a trade-off we are supposed to make. Order & Faith go hand in hand.

This season is a set of daily podcasts to discover how God works and how we can work like Him in 31 ways. Work is not just being redefined and rediscovered (think: the Great Resignation)... it is under attack. Yet we have an awesome opportunity to recapture the essence of work IF we learn to work like God, then help others to discover this delight.

Get Happy

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 05:00:10 +0000

This is Day 2 and the principle of getting happy before we get stuck into our work. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Working from a place of rest prevents fatigue and burnout.

Precede Work by Inviting the Holy Spirit

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 05:00:09 +0000

Day 1 of 31 Ways: precede putting pen to paper with an active invitation to the Holy Spirit. This is not to ask him to bless your work but a recognition that he is inviting you into what he is doing. So begins a Divine-man collaboration.

Season 6 - e000 31 Ways Introduction

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 16:59:26 +0000

The Initiative Index

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 13:00:44 +0000

Some years ago my wife, Lyn, and I sat around our kitchen table with a group of single but-want-to-be-married folks in their twenties and thirties. I made the following statement: "Women have an availability index emblazoned on their foreheads letting men know whether they are even approachable. Some indices are so low it would be going into the arctic to venture there, and some are so high they come off as needy. Right in the middle is 'the zone' of healthy availability."

In this podcast episode, we discuss the Initiative Index, how to get over obstacles that men might face in taking initiative when it comes to relationships.

Moses replied, “Just as you say, I will never appear before you again.” Ex 10:29

Our free will can keep us in Egypt.

Our stubborn refusal to see something new can keep us in an old way of worship, with false gods, and in a flawed economic system.

We have to ask ourselves, at a gut level, whether we are enamored with, perhaps in love with, the systems of the world.

Don't call good evil, and evil good

Tue, 14 Jul 2020 12:00:11 +0000

The strategy of the enemy is to do anything that keeps you in Egypt, including blaming you for being the guilty party. The longer this pandemic continues the more controlling governments will want to keep their people in it… then blame the people as an excuse for continuing their tyranny.

Don’t get under false guilt. Get free, quickly.

God is ahead of you in the rēStart

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 12:00:07 +0000

God is ahead of you in the rēStart

Moses is still making excuses… this is a big assignment and he is wondering if the email went to the wrong guy.

Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”

Thanks, but no thanks. God is not impressed with this. He is calling you because there is a need, not because you are talented, smart, spiritual, gifted, eloquent or the best shepherd in Midianville.

Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you.

God has thought through your shortcomings. Don’t get coy. Get on with the assignment.

With thoughts potentially running through your mind such as, “What if they don’t believe me…?” We remember a staff and a hand signal. God does confirm his words with signs and wonders. “These signs shall accompany those who believe…”

But don’t push it: false humility is not pretty!

God sends his people into crisis

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 12:00:10 +0000

Moses is minding his business and he receives a divine interruption. The news is good - The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey…

Then comes the surprise: “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

In this episode, Brett Johnson talks through a few clarifying questions:

Question #1 Who am I? And, #2, “Who is sending me?”

It is good to know your identity, it is smart to know your calling, and it is essential to know who is sending you.

Sometimes You Need To Be In Something To Liberate Others From It

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 12:00:13 +0000

In this episode, Brett Johnson talks about how sometimes you need to be in something in order to liberate others from it.

Moses was raised inside the Egyptian system. A pagan princess named a Jewish boy who got to know the system from which Israel would need liberation.

Moses knew the courts of Pharaoh because he grew up a prince in those courts. He had a good 40 years to think about the good, the bad, and the ugly of those systems. Moses knew what they were like which ultimately led to the liberation of a nation.

Brett touches on how you can seldom be a 2 Corinthians 5 minister of reconciliation if you don’t understand both systems.

God's People Are Not Exempt From Political Misfortune

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 12:00:07 +0000

In this episode, Brett Johnson talks about how sometimes your success will attract jealousy in your opponents. When you ask God to bless you, it is important to choose to have broad shoulders.

"Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.” - Ex 1: 8-10

Brett also touches on how other times you are just a part of a larger span of history; your story has its context in His story. If you want to get into God’s business, it is no longer all about you and your business, career, wealth, or legacy. Ultimately, the leading of God to Egypt nearly 430 years before had resulted in infanticide and genocide.

“Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” - Ex 1:22

"Let my business go..." is an overall theme for the Repurposing Business Podcast. "I feel it can be spoken from many perspectives. God saying, "Let my business go" ...to the church, the world, the devil. "Business is mine... I want it back."

It can be spoken to the business leader, "Let my business go." Your business is not yours, it is Mine. Release it to my hands. Release it to my purposes. Release it from the current constraints. Release it to be for the kingdom, not for your kingdom, etc.

The business leader saying, "Let my business go" as a prayer: let it go from the economic woes, the recession, the whatever, AND... "let my business go" to the nations, to the poor, to the needy... a "here I am, send us" prayer."

What happens when a business leader gives God not just their plans, but their ownership?

Join Brett for a rich and heartfelt conversation with South African business leader Francois van Niekerk in our latest episode. Francois shares his remarkable journey from corporate life to founding and growing diverse ventures in IT, property, insurance and beyond.

Francois recounts pivotal moments, including a near bankruptcy and the simple prayer that reshaped the trajectory of his life and work. He explains how the principles behind the Mergon Foundation were formed, why ownership matters in Kingdom business, and how listening to God before making strategic decisions became central to their growth. Through personal stories, practical insights and reflections from more than six decades in business, he offers wisdom for leaders.

What have you inherited, and what are you leaving behind?

In this episode, Brett explores how God restores desolate inheritances and reawakens legacy across generations. Many people feel like they are starting from nothing, but God promises to reassign what has been lost.

Drawing from Isaiah’s promise, “I will keep you and make you a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,” Brett invites listeners to believe again for restoration within their households.

This conversation calls us to honor what we have received, steward it wisely, and release blessing to generations yet to come.

236: Receiving, Releasing, Restoring with Brett Johnson

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 10:00:21 +0000

Where does restoration begin?

In this episode, Brett explores the first step of restoration: acquiring and stewarding capital. This is not only about money, but about recognizing all forms of capital and the resources already in our hands.

To do this, we must jettison the wilderness mentality, the mindset shaped by scarcity and survival, and learn to live with the abundance of the Promised Land. Babylonian and Egyptian economics have no place in the Kingdom. Restoration requires a renewed way of seeing and stewarding what God entrusts to us.

This conversation invites us to shift from fear to faith, from lack to stewardship, and from wandering to building.

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 09:00:24 +0000

What happens to our faith when waiting turns weary?

In this episode, Brett explores how followers of Jesus often cope during the long delay, and how some of those responses, while understandable, can quietly corrode faith. He identifies six “rotten responses” that surface when hope feels deferred.

Each of these reactions reveals our struggle to stay anchored in trust when God seems silent. Yet Brett invites us to a more fruitful posture.

This conversation calls us out of striving and back into surrender, where faith finds its strength again in the waiting.

In this episode, Brett explores the tension of the in-between, the space between what God has spoken and when it finally comes to pass. In a world that expects everything instantly, even small delays can test our patience. But what happens when the waiting stretches into years, when careers stall, dreams fade, and hopes for family or calling remain deferred?

This is where delay can become dangerous. The long wait can birth a crisis of faith or a quiet theology of failure. Yet Brett reminds us that delay is not denial. It is often the University of the Desert, where God shapes character and refines trust.

From Jesus’ delay with Lazarus to the trials of those who have endured unbroken seasons of apparent failure, this conversation reframes waiting as holy ground. It is the place where faith matures and God’s glory is revealed in His timing, not ours.

233: Dreaming, Enduring, Becoming with Brett Johnson

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 10:00:24 +0000

What if the Kingdom dreamers are not the “white picket fence people,” but those whose souls have been salted by difficulty and marinated in pain?

In this episode, Brett speaks to the ones who have carried God-given dreams through deep delays — the weary yet faithful, still believing in promises seen only “from a distance.” He cautions against mistaking the journey for a shortcut to success, reminding us instead that endurance is the language of faith.

Set in an age of polarization and the orphanization of generations, this conversation revisits Hebrews 11 — the hall of those who worshiped, walked, worked, and waited with God through the unseen. From Abel to Moses, their stories remind us that faith is not fast, but formative.

Garrett Maroon is a husband, father of five, and founder of The Faithful Agent nonprofit.

228: Go Big And Come Home with Dr Charlie Self

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 10:31:10 +0000

What if one of the greatest battlegrounds shaping society isn’t only cultural or political, but the historical battle for the polarization of family?

In this episode, Brett is joined by Dr. Charlie Self to trace the historical and philosophical shifts that have shaped how we view family. From Enlightenment thinkers who championed its importance, to Marxist critiques that dismissed it as a capitalist construct, they unpack how ideas have influenced, and in some cases undermined, this essential foundation of human life.

Together, they wrestle with the decline of traditional family norms, the pressures facing modern households, and the polarizing effects of technology and societal change. Through Dr. Self’s rich historical insight, the conversation points toward a vision of restoration: how the church and communities today can strengthen, support, and empower families to flourish once again.

223: 3 Kingdom Paths: Avoiding The Judas Syndrome with Brett Johnson

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 09:00:25 +0000

There’s a difference between loving God and agreeing with his operating model. In this episode, Brett confronts a hard truth: many believers in the marketplace are stuck in old operating models, speaking kingdom language without living kingdom reality.

Using the story of Judas Iscariot as a sobering case study, Brett introduces the "Judas Syndrome”, a predictable decline rooted in compromised motives, unmet expectations, and resistance to transformation.

Listeners will discover the three common paths in kingdom business today:

•⁠ ⁠Path A – The Comfortable Conformist: well-meaning but unwilling to fully change.

•⁠ ⁠Path B – The Offended Betrayer: disillusioned when Jesus doesn’t meet their professional expectations.

•⁠ ⁠Path C – The Transformed Disciple: those who embrace discomfort, continual growth, and radical alignment with God’s ways.

This episode challenges us to examine our current path and offers guidance for moving toward authentic kingdom transformation in your business.

He suggests the dangers of different societal sectors becoming overly central in their influence, leading to various 'isms' that distort their original intent.

Using a biblical example involving Mary and Judas, Brett underscores the importance of ensuring that organizations, including nonprofits, operate with genuine compassion rather than self-interest.
