What happens when a business owner stops asking only what the numbers say and starts asking what God is doing? Arthur Tew sits down with Adam Wimberly, owner and chief talent strategist at The Wimberly Group in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Adam has spent 30 years in recruiting and built his firm alongside his wife, Jessica.Adam started out answering phones at a recruiting office, then launched his own firm out of a spare bedroom. He talks about the morning he heard “pick up the Bible” and why he now runs his business as a steward, not an owner. Arthur and Adam cover discernment over analytics, perception vs perspective, why couples are meant to be discipled and not counseled, and why winning at work means little if you’re losing at home. Adam closes the episode in prayer.About the GuestAdam Wimberly is the owner and chief talent strategist of The Wimberly Group, a recruiting firm in Pinehurst, NC, which he started with his wife Jessica more than 20 years ago. Before that, he spent about 10 years at Management Recruiters in Pinehurst, where he started as an hourly project assistant answering phones. He is an elder at his church, disciples men one-on-one, and with Jessica has led marriage ministry through ReEngage, including at two mountain cabins they use for that work. Adam and Jessica met at freshman orientation and have worked together for 27 years. They have a son, Asher.Key takeawaysDiscernment over analytics. Numbers inform, but they don’t decide. If Adam’s analytics are wrong, he owns the blame. If his discernment is wrong, he learns from it.Steward, don’t own. Running a business for the Lord changes how you lead it, and the parable of the talents says faithful stewardship leads to more.Watch the yellow light. Going deep in the numbers can be responsible management, or it can be a sign you’re managing too much and trusting too little.Direction, not destination. Every season, including the hard ones, is preparation for the next one.Obedience has an order. Like baking cookies, doing the right thing the wrong way still fails. A blocked plan may be mercy, not attack.Your business funds your calling. Adam’s firm gives him the time and margin to disciple men and serve couples.Win at home first. Success at work doesn’t count for much if it isn’t showing up in your house.Timestamps00:00 Arthur introduces Adam Wimberly01:53 Thirty years in recruiting and starting a firm with his wife13:34 “Pick up the Bible”: when faith took the front seat17:19 Discernment over analytics, and ownership vs stewardship21:47 Am I managing too much and trusting too little?29:58 Perception vs perspective and the storm in Mark 436:37 Why couples should be discipled, not counseled47:04 Work as worship: the right thing done the right way50:12 What is true vs what is truth55:18 Adam prays us outHost: Arthur Tew, co-founder of 10Fold and co-host of the 10Fold Founders podcastGuest: Adam Wimberly, The Wimberly Group
