Tiago Goulart

O trabalho é uma das maiores plataformas de influência.

Não é preciso pregar no escritório. Mas é possível (e necessário)  viver com propósito visível. Integridade, generosidade, alegria e esperança são luzes que não precisam de microfone para brilhar.

Missão no trabalho é ser. É viver de forma tão coerente que as pessoas enxergam algo maior na forma como você age.

“Assim brilhe a luz de vocês diante dos outros, para que vejam as boas obras e glorifiquem o Pai de vocês.”
(Mateus 5:16)

Secretary of Science, Technology and Innovation | CEO at Mentto | Strategic Innovation, Innovation Ecosystems & Public-Private Partnerships

Inovar não é só ter ideias brilhantes — é criar com propósito.

Na Bíblia, Bezalel foi capacitado com sabedoria, habilidade e criatividade para construir algo que apontava para Deus. Ele não inventou por vaidade, mas para um fim maior.

Hoje, criatividade com propósito ainda é uma expressão espiritual. Criar soluções, pensar diferente, arriscar com responsabilidade — tudo isso pode ser resposta ao chamado de Deus.

“Enchi-o do Espírito de Deus, dando-lhe sabedoria, habilidade e pleno conhecimento para todo tipo de obra.”
(Êxodo 31:3)

Tomar iniciativa é um ato espiritual.


Na parábola dos talentos, Jesus não elogia quem teve mais, mas quem fez o melhor com o que recebeu. O empreendedor fiel é aquele que não enterra o potencial — mas arrisca com responsabilidade, serve com estratégia e multiplica com propósito.

No mundo profissional, isso significa alinhar ação com missão. Não basta empreender — é preciso fazer isso como quem presta contas ao Reino.

“Muito bem, servo bom e fiel! Você foi fiel no pouco, e sobre o muito o colocarei.”
(Mateus 25:21)
