salt and light

so i no-sooner post my previous rant, errr... post, and I'm faced with this: The Gift of Work post by Guy Kawasaki - Nancy Ortburg, "Jesus and your Job"

on the one hand, Guy Kawasaki is fast becoming recognized as the best (free) business advice on the Internet... and based on the comments, this post doesn't appear to be an outlier.

on the one hand - the church, represented here by Nancy Ortburg, is apparently quite relevant to .... the business world... or is it life in general.

However, I am strangely uncomfortable with this and not sure why. I'm not sure how to think about this - and wondering if anyone has any thoughts.

Is this a case of All Truth is God's Truth? And that truth resonating with people...
Is this a case of Church's Inspirational message becoming Motivational instead?
...or is this something else?
Please do watch Nancy before (pre) judging or responding
Despite the supposed topic of her talk - what I think I see Nancy talking about is actually servant-leadership - a Jesus concept I believe would resonate well with Guy. (While Guy appears not to be specific religious or christian - his thoughts seem to resonate fully with scripture).

Is this Ortburg video perhaps the opposite of "How to Win Friends and Influence People"... a secular business / self-help book that is (to my eyes) is fully christian in speaking to giving grace and looking out for the (least of these) errr, little guy...

What is going on here??
