Podcast: Overcoming Relational Poverty in Your Workplace

Dec 2, 2024

More than ever, workers are disengaging from their jobs and their homes. Many people in the post-COVID world continue to live in seclusion, despite not feeling compelled to do so. After all, iron sharpens iron, and Christians know we need each other’s love to survive.

Let’s break the cycle and encourage our employees to get reengaged at work, home, and in their communities. Meet Eric Bents. Through workplace engagement, Eric believes we can help people overcome isolation.

Join Mark and Eric as they discuss overcoming relational poverty in your workplace, focusing on three (3) key areas:

- Get employees to focus outward (volunteer, mission work).
- Organize events that will win the affection of your employees’ families.
- Create career development programs that bless your people.

Eric is committed to ending relational poverty. As a strategy coach and leadership development expert, Eric assists individuals and organizations in resolving their most pressing issues.

Eric is a great American. During his 30 years in the United States Air Force (20 years active, 10 reserve), Eric deployed to Afghanistan and Bosnia, serving in a wide range of combat and non-combat capacities before retiring as a colonel. His duties covered almost every military mission area, including conventional combat support, nuclear, cyberspace, space, peacekeeping, counterinsurgency, and counterterrorism.

Through his non-profit The Storehouse Movement and his company Win Your Wars, Eric uses his hard-won knowledge of military tactics and strategy in his role as Storehouse Movement leader to offer a framework for anybody to address their most difficult personal, professional, or social issues.

When Eric isn’t “warring to win,” he enjoys spending time with his wife, Marnie, five [largely] grown children, and one grandson. He also enjoys hunting and being outside.
