In this solo commentary, the speaker reflects on the immediate aftermath of the U.S. presidential election, predicting a uniquely theologically conflicted Sunday worship experience as millions either celebrate or question the outcome. He argues that most outcomes—political, business, leadership, and personal—are driven by human effort rather than divine intervention, labeling the belief in miracles as fantasy. The speaker frames these observations as strategic takeaways for business owners and leaders, urging them to recognize human agency in results rather than attributing success or failure to a higher power.
Chapters
This week, by far the biggest news story was the result of the presidential elections. Now, I'm not going to talk politics here, but just want to kind of pick some nuggets that will help in our strategy implementation as business owners and business leaders. But I got to say, Sunday morning is going to be the most theologically conflicting worship service for millions of Americans across this country. On the one hand, you'll have the 50+ million or so, 60 million or so worshipers who are praising God for a Trump victory, and on the other hand, you'll have about 50 million or so plus questioning God about the Trump victory. A theologically conflicting worship moment is in the making for this first Sunday after the presidential elections. I'm no theologian, but I think a lot of the conflict comes from misunderstanding of God's intervention in human affairs. A lot of the stuff that we push off or abdicate to God in terms of the outcomes and results, not just in politics but in life and leadership, business, family, social life, a lot of the outcomes that we abdicate to God and pray in faith to God are really, have nothing to do with God, but have everything to do with human effort, human action, and the reaction to our action. It's a human-driven chain of events that leads to 99% of the outcomes that we experience in life. Whether it be political outcomes, business outcomes, leadership outcomes. But we have abdicated, we have abdicated the outcomes to a divine being who intervenes and overrides and, you know, does these miracles that really are just fantasy, the truth be told, fantasy. But I'm no theologian, but you know, I know it's going to be quite a conflicting contrast theologically come Sunday morning. And for those of you who worship on Saturday, yeah, quite a conflict. But all right.
