God’s Original Design for Flourishing Life and Leadership

Flourishing isn’t a modern leadership trend—it’s God’s original design. In this opening episode of Called to Flourish, Jay Bransford invites Christian leaders to return to the very beginning of Scripture to rediscover God’s heart for fruitful, abundant life and leadership. Summary: Before conversations about strategy, culture, or performance, this episode pauses to ask a deeper question: What did God intend when He created humanity to flourish? Host Robert Wachter, Global Marketing Director at Best Christian Workplaces, sits down with Jay Bransford, President & CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, to explore God’s original mandate in Genesis—to be fruitful, steward creation, and live with purpose before brokenness entered the world. Drawing from Scripture and lived leadership experience, Jay reflects on the tension between human effort and divine grace, emphasizing that true flourishing flows not from striving, but from abiding in Christ. Together, they explore leadership as a shepherding calling—one marked by humility, integrity, and trust in God’s work. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why flourishing begins with God’s original design, not human ambition • How Genesis frames fruitfulness, work, and stewardship • The biblical tension between effort and grace in leadership • Why abiding in Christ is essential for lasting fruitfulness • How leaders are called to shepherd with integrity of heart Chapters: 00:00 Introducing Jay and launching Called to Flourish 04:37 Why Called to Flourish begins with God’s original design 06:10 Genesis, fruitfulness, and God’s mandate for humanity 07:03 Flourishing before the fall: purpose, stewardship, and work 09:42 Brokenness, sin, and God’s enduring heart for abundance 12:10 The tension between human effort and divine grace 15:12 Abiding in Christ: fruitfulness that comes from God alone 25:17 Shepherd leadership, humility, and integrity of heart 26:19 Real-world examples of flourishing through faithful leadership 31:15 Rapid-fire reflections, Scripture, and spiritual rhythms ✅ Subscribe for more conversations on faith, leadership, and flourishing workplace cultures. 🎧 Prefer audio?
