Episode Details

A Christian organization is encouraging men to unplug from the workplace to nourish their faith and their family life this Christmas season.

Joe Beckler says it can be easy for all people to get caught up in the everyday grind all year, but the schedules, tasks and responsibilities are particularly pronounced at this time of the year. In addition to all the school concerts, church programs, shopping, parties and festivities, the business marketplace often adds year-end reports and obligations.

In this Family Life News interview, Beckler offers three specific goals which can help men (and others) to prioritize, focus, and be present for their family, friends and workplace partners.

Joe Beckler is vice president for development, marketing and communications for the Christian Business Men's Connection. CBMC was launched in 1930 when Chicago area business professionals wanted to encourage each other to stay strong in their faith throughout their vocational and personal lives.

It now is national and global in its scope and outreach. The website is www.CBMC.com.
