MY DAD’S PROBLEM WITH “CHURCH” IS THE SAME PROBLEM MANY (should) HAVE WITH NEW-AGE BUSINESS COACHING
Growing up, we were in church every Sunday. When my dad wasn’t working, he was with us. He was totally on board with faith, but church? Church, well…
There WAS that time when the pastor described in detail how he dropped a trashcan on his big toe, and how — in that moment — he KNEW “pain.” My dad audibly rebutted that one. I mean, 1) my dad had ACTUALLY broken his back by having a wall fall on him and 2) the pastor WAS conflating his toe incident and the pain of crucifixion. So, there WAS that.
But as funny as that story is to look back on, the REAL issue my Dad had with church was this tendency he saw for people to abdicate their human responsibility.
People praying over their health, but making no physical, dietary or habit changes. People praying over their marriage, but rolling their eyes about the idea of regular date nights. But mainly…. there were people praying over their finances…
but not working.
Now, if you think I’M “hard core” about work, you haven’t met my Dad. He makes me look LA-ZY. Wife having an affair? She needs a job. Someone depressed? They need a job. You say walking is painful? Get a physical job. Walk more. 
So, you can IMAGINE his response to “love offerings” and prayers about finances. His RESPONSE was always EITHER, “I’ve got a job for you if you want it.” (They usually didn’t.) OR “Why won’t you work?”
His issue wasn’t with prayer or religion or even church. It was with the abdication of doing your part. It was the replacing of FUNDAMENTAL actions with ESOTERIC asks that got him. It was the prayer IN LEU of work.
I see the same thing at play in the world of business development. There is actual AGGRESSIVE PUSHBACK against the mechanics of EXPERIENCE, SALES, MARKETING, PSYCHOLOGY, POSITIONING… and, well… WORK. I’m always shocked by it.
There’s this pervasive pretense that mindset is EVERYTHING.
Admittedly, mindset is a HUGE Part,
CERTAINLY bigger than I used to believe,
But it’s a HUGE PART
because mindset governs ACTION.
Yes, mindset matters. 100%.
But MECHANICS cannot be ignored.

In defense of my Dad, even God himself got irritated with people praying, but not moving. (Exodus 14:15, “Why are they crying out to me? Tell my people to GET MOVING.”)
