This Father's Day, we want to honor the incredible fathers and father figures in our lives—on our team, in our communities, and beyond.

Fatherhood takes many forms, but at its heart it's about showing up—with strength when it's hard, with patience when it's tested, and with love that never quits. To every person who has stepped up to guide, protect, and inspire someone who needed them, we thank you. Your role matters more than words can say.

To the fathers and father figures on our team: thank you for the example you set every day, both on the job and at home. We're proud to work alongside you. And to all the dads and mentors out there, we honor you today and always.

Wishing you a day filled with rest, gratitude, and the people who mean the most. You deserve it.

Today, we pause to honor Juneteenth—a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates the freedom, resilience, and enduring contributions of Black Americans.

At The Good Place Institute, our foundation is built on the belief that every person has inherent dignity and worth. That conviction isn't just part of our history—it shapes how we show up for our team, our customers, and our communities every day.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not just a milestone to commemorate, but a responsibility to uphold—through how we treat one another, how we lead, and how we serve.

To our employees, customers, and partners who carry this history personally: we see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for the strength you bring to this community.

Creation wasn’t random. Your business shouldn’t be either.

Chris Young shares a powerful reminder in this clip from the Business is Good podcast:

God created with purpose and design . . .
and everything He made was meant to work together to fulfill that purpose.

Your organization is no different.

When you build with intention, people flourish, leaders thrive, and the culture becomes a Good Place.

Are we speaking words of life or words of death in our organizations?

Every conversation - every email, meeting, or marketing message - carries power.

At The Good Place Institute, we believe biblical communication isn’t just about tone; it’s about transformation.

When love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness shape our words, culture shifts . . . and people flourish.

Watch this short clip from the Business is Good podcast with Chris Young as he shares how “speaking shalom” changes both internal culture and external communication.

A special thank you to everyone who joined us for The Good Place Institute’s inaugural Kingdom Business Activation Summit in the Columbus, Ohio area, earlier this month.

What an inspiring group of business owners, CEOs, executive directors, and organizational leaders who came together with one shared goal — to move beyond conversation to the real-life application of Kingdom principles, values, and methods within their organizations.

We’re grateful for our partners and clients at Joe Knows Energy and Realize Your Calling, and for their founder and president, Dan Lorenz, who shared his powerful experiences in building Kingdom-aligned organizations along with us.

This was just the beginning. In 2026, we’re planning regional micro-summits to continue multiplying the movement — culminating in a larger fall gathering that will carry the momentum of Kingdom Business Activation forward across our region, nation, and world.

Thank you to the leaders who joined us to take the next step in designing organizations that truly reflect God’s Kingdom.

Face up to it. Be humble.

When a leader makes a mistake, the temptation is to defend, spin, or hide behind the brand.

But real leadership—the kind that builds trust and lasting influence—starts with humility.

In this clip, Chris Young reminds us that Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount with “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” That posture still changes everything.

Owning our mistakes doesn’t weaken credibility—it strengthens it.

Our culture still respects a leader who steps up to the microphone and says, “That was my fault. I should have done better.”

Humility communicates strength. Transparency builds trust.

That’s what makes a Good Place leader.

What is the purpose of your organization?

In a Good Place Organization, we use the word “Charter” to describe the purpose, vision, mission, aim, values, inspiration and anything else that expresses what the organization desires to be and do. It is a statement that provides the “aim” of the entire organization as a system. It provides the direction we use to “chart” the course of the organization. It sets the tone, shapes culture, fosters unity, settles disputes, creates clarity, and provides inspiration.

If you are wanting to know how to better “chart” the course for your organization, The Good Place Organization: A Leader’s Guide to Stewarding a Good Place Organizations, written and published by The Good Place Institute, will provide the “How to methodology” to accomplish this goal. It also serves as a reference guide to implement the Good Place Organization Operating System to bring about the aims of Biblical success. To learn more, check out the link below:
