At Work As In Heaven Scott Ryser

Does your Sunday matter on Tuesday?




Company-builder Scott Ryser grew up going to church every week but never knew God. When Scott finally gave his life to Jesus in 1995, he knew he was making a decision about his Tuesday, not just his Sunday. Since then, Scott has spent most of his time wrestling with the practical challenges of living out his faith at work every day. When the opportunity to start his company arose, Scott named it Yakabod, meaning "God's glory," pushing into the question, "Is it even possible for a company to give God glory?" And not by doing church stuff at the office, but by doing work in a way that glorifies God. As Scott slowly made progress, the Lord interjected with a much bigger question: "Is it possible to partner with God at work every day?" At this point, Scott began to realize the Lord plays by a completely different set of rules, and things just work differently in His Kingdom. This ultimately led to the Lord proposing an even bigger question: Can a company look more like the Kingdom of Heaven?
