Are you more like John or like "Eric"?
"I got saved. Can you mentor me on how to live out my faith in my work?"
That came at the end of our first lunch talk - I’d thought the lunch request was for career advice. John had asked around at work. Somehow he got pointed to me.
I got humbled, and I fumbled: I hadn't yet found a “buttoned-up” way through the faith-and-work gap.
We met weekly anyway, with whatever I was learning.
"I will carry something from our first introduction for the remainder of my life.
You mentioned that if Adam and Eve would have started their day off in prayer, perhaps things would have been different.
This is a great principle to live by."
Another professional who sensed the same gap.
Different starting points. Same question. Not workplace evangelism - work excellence.

FOR CHRISTIAN PROFESSIONALS AND LEADERS SERIOUS ABOUT THE FAITH-AND-WORK GAP
“We see the parts but miss the Whole.”
Not more theory on why it matters - daily practice in how.
A restful WALK with God begets restful WORK
STEP 1: Each morning, walk with God - one psalm, visualized, in minutes.
STEP 2: A next series on carrying that into your work - coming soon.
For supporting your daily 1-to-1 walk with God, and the work that flows from it.
Start with Psalm 1, visualized in panorama.

Whole.
Plain text first.
Then, revealed step by step, the color-coding shows how the parts connect.
Try it below. It's yours free when you join.
Opens straight to the psalm - no clutter.
SEE it Whole in color from 10 angles.
Daily emails to build a consistent 1-to-1 time with God that survives rushed mornings.
One practical discovery for how you
think, work, and rest.
You and I see parts but miss the Whole.
And the same 3 mistakes still hit rushed professionals every morning.
Reading what I remember, not what it says.
Minding three tasks ahead of the page.
Going it alone, without inviting God in.
The Psalm 1 experience, G1, lays out the text whole, plainly, in color, and in sequence, to guard the first two. The third is your invitation.
That's why we call it a 1-to-1 with God.
No commentary, no podcast, not even your own assumptions.
Supporting just you and Him, with His words.
How to begin, every time
Ask: "Heavenly Father, what do You want me to SEE here today?"
Explore 1-to-1 with the Holy Spirit first, before anyone else's map.
Return. Dig a little deeper each time.
To be clear: this isn't a new Bible study method. G1 doesn't interpret the text for you - it's an Experience-Support Tool. It gets the original text in front of you, undistorted, so your own 1-to-1 with God does the rest.

35+ years in systems engineering, business enterprise architecture, supply chain, and forecasting. As U.S. head of forecasting at a top global pharma, I applied insights from Genesis 1 and Nehemiah to architect and build a forecasting ecosystem with my team that won a best-in-class industry benchmark award 2x in 10 years. As Adjunct Professor, I mentored MBA Capstone professionals. And as a believer, I have been a learner of the Bible, desirous to apply what I got taught.
John's question sent me into a several-year, word-level color-coding of all 66 books of the Bible. Now, each week, RestfulWorkAgain Lab shares what I learned, one chapter at a time, and builds tools and courses to support you in experiencing a 1-to-1 walk with God that shapes how you work. Come and see a practical way to close that gap - not more theory on why it matters, but daily practice in how.
I haven't totally figured it all out and certainly have many flaws in my past practices and present. But like the 4 lepers in 2 Kings 7, I found good news from what I have learned and can't keep it to myself.
PS: The color-coding is one way to see the text, not the only way - and it's not proprietary. Anyone's welcome to study the method and build their own DIY version. I just got tired of redoing it by hand every time. So I designed and built G1 - for me and for you.
SEE the Whole. FIND your Place. ALIGN your Will. MOVE fit-for-Purpose.
Start with Psalm 1, visualized. Free.

WHY
Many professionals know their work but struggle to see how their work fits into God’s larger restful design
