About The Podcast
Nearly 20 years ago, Simon Lee started having a recurring dream of a flashing neon sign. After months of prayer and consulting with people he knew, Simon decided he’d figured out what the dream meant: Instead of inheriting his father’s business, he should forge out on a venture of his own—and give away 50% of the profits. What sounded crazy at first has turned out to be true inspiration, as his company, Buy On Purpose (formerly EIS Office Solutions), has achieved tremendous success without compromising on its Christian values. In this podcast, Simon talks about how he built the business, being open about faith in the workplace, and keeping one’s life focused on what truly matters.

Do You Know Who Your True Friends Are?
How do you know which of your friendships are real, and which are built on performance, convenience, or what you can do for one another?
Having Hard Conversations with God—and Each Other
His 30th birthday was just around the corner, and Nigel Darius was at a crossroads. He felt like he’d worked hard and done the right things in his twenties, but he didn’t have anything to show for it. He asked God for a new path and a new opportunity, but when God asked him, “Do you believe I can give them to you?” he realized the answer was “No.” Or perhaps more accurately, “Not yet.”
The Freedom That Comes with Obeying God
Let’s face it, obedience isn’t a fun topic for most of us. Between an American ethos that prizes individualism and innovation, a culture that pushes indulgence, and a natural human desire to be free from control, we don’t like to feel compelled to follow anyone else’s rules. So how do we break down that resistance and embrace obedience to God? And how can we build in ourselves a desire to heed God’s word, rather than just doing so out of grudging obligation?
