Purpose, Presence, and Productivity with Jordan Raynor
Jordan has become a friend and someone I deeply admire and respect. He is an incredible communicator and is gifted at taking time-tested principles and communicating them in a way that makes the complex simple. He is also a practitioner and has real world marketplace experience. He has been the CEO of several different organizations. His new book, Redeeming Your Time looks at time management through the lens of Jesus. Jump in and join us for this conversation.
Start by telling us about “the ministry of excellence” (2:57)
What is the “why” for doing excellent work? (5:44)
Explain why you see Jesus as the subject manager expert on time management (8:22)
Talk about the difference between productive and busy or hurried (11:26)
We can get caught thinking it’s only hustle or self-care. It seems like you’re advocating for a different approach (15:57)
You’ve used the word “soul” a few times. Can you explain the heart shift that has to occur for us to have the right attitude toward work? (17:49)
One of the things you talk about in the book is chasing audacious goals. It seems like the Christ follower who knows they’re loved no matter what could be an aggressive risk taker. (24:19)
How do you seasonally define priorities? (26:56)
Define how you decide a goal is worth pursuing? (29:55)
You’re absorbing content all the time. How do you monitor the content in your life so you’re also listening to what God is telling you? (32:15)
What’s the biggest thing that you’ve noticed from shifting the content you consume? (37:26)
What is the encouragement you’d give people around choosing how they let things drive their lives (39:49)
One of the topics from the book I’ve been trying to practice is Sabbath. Why do you think it’s important? (43:19)
You said Sabbath does a lot for “our souls and for our goals”. Can you speak to that? (48:18)
What is the role of your phone and email on Sabbath? (50:41)
Do you exit Sabbath on Sunday evening or Monday morning? (52:58)
What do you do Sunday evening to prep for the week ahead? (54:19)
If someone has tried time management things a lot and still ends up stuck, what is the challenge and encouragement you’d give that person? (56:43)
