“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

— Matthew 22:37-39

Jesus was clear: our highest calling is to love God and to love people. In the marketplace, this command takes on daily urgency. Clients, customers, employees, vendors, and even competitors are not just part of our work—they are people entrusted to our care. How we treat them becomes the true declaration of our faith.

This is not easy. People are often the greatest joy of our work and at the same time, the greatest challenge. Caring for others requires patience when profits are at stake, compassion when deadlines press in, and intentionality when stress threatens to pull us into self-protection. Yet in these very tensions, discipleship takes root.

For September, we will reflect on the attribute of Caring for People through five pillars—each anchored in Scripture and practical for business life.

A Few Verses about "Caring for People"

“…not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

— Philippians 2:4

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

— Ephesians 4:32

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

— John 13:34-35

Upcoming Events

Join us at one of our upcoming events — each designed to inspire, equip, and connect Christian professionals seeking to live out their faith in the marketplace.

60th Annual Mayors' Prayer Breakfast 2025

Leaders from all walks of life will unite at the Mayors’ Prayer Breakfast—a powerful morning dedicated to lifting up our nation’s leaders in prayer. This inclusive event invites people of all backgrounds to come together in a spirit of unity, purpose, and hope.

We’re honored to welcome Rob Pelinka, President of the Los Angeles Lakers and this year’s keynote speaker, who will share meaningful lessons from his personal faith and professional journey.

Hosted by CBMC Orange County, the breakfast offers a moment to pause and reflect on the spiritual values that have long guided our communities and country.

Business Succession & Legacy Planning

Thursday, September 25 from 4:00 - 5:30 pm PT

Are you a Christian Business owner looking to:

• Sell or transition your ownership interest within the next 5 years?

• Maximize opportunities for generosity upon business sale?

• Maintain a God-honoring culture that continues long after you are removed from the business?

Blue Trust is hosting an impactful virtual event that helps Christian business owners think through Business Succession planning from a Biblical perspective.

This will be an interactive session where business owners will receive guidance on how to structure governance, leadership, and culture to maintain a God-honoring legacy for their business long after they are gone.

Those who attend will also learn effective strategies that can help them maximize their generosity and tax-saving opportunities upon a business sale or transition.

Whole Life Leadership

You’re Smart. You’re Sharp. And You’re Not Here to Live at Work.

You’ve already proven people will pay for your product or service. You’ve got demand. The real challenge? Scaling it—without sacrificing your life in the process.

Let’s be honest: you’re not interested in 16-hour days, missed dinners, or another golf season lost to grind. You’ve already done the hard slog—and you’re starting to feel the early signs of burnout.

Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse.

Sometimes it’s checking boxes but feeling flat. Being home but mentally stuck at work.

Faith@Work/Virtual Connect3
