THE AVADA PRINCIPLE
Welcome to an AVADA Life. In his book The AVADA Principle, Michael Sipe introduces a little-known word with 6,000 year-old origins. That word is "avad" and its related words "eved," "avodah," and "avadah," which Mike has modernized and branded as AVADA.
In short, avodah is an ancient Hebrew word that simultaneously, in one word, means work, worship and service. The word, in various forms appears at least 435 times throughout the Old Testament, appearing initially in Genesis 2, where God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to work (avad) it.
The AVADA Principle is that God breathes His very spirit onto and rests His hand of favor on an integrated life of work, worship and service. The AVADA Principle book illustrates clearly how to live such an integrated life, including offering Biblical and contemporary case studies, which we call an AVADA Life.
The AVADA Principle and its accompanying workbook and devotional, The AVADA Treasure Hunt, are available on Amazon.com.
Much of the curriculum for 10x Catalyst Groups meetings, workshops and online training is derived from the material developed for The AVADA Principle and The AVADA Treasure Hunt. The AVADA Publishing Group licenses curriculum, workshop and online training tools for use, not only by 10x Groups, but for use by other independent coaches and consultants across the country who wish to build a community of Christian CEOs and entrepreneurs in their cities.
Customized AVADA webinars and online training programs are available as well for churches, businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The AVADA Podcast explores the elements of an AVADA Life, and provides an interview platform for marketplace leaders to share their personal AVADA Life stories, and how they have grown spiritually as leaders, built thriving businesses and use the platform of their businesses to expand the Kingdom. Please subscribe to the AVADA Podcast on this website.
The AVADA Blog provides real-world insights into issues of faith in the marketplace derived from discussions in 10x Catalyst Groups comprised of Christian CEOs and entrepreneurs. Please subscribe the the AVADA Blog on this website.
