Greg M, Patrick Lai, and guest bloggers write about the joys, challenges, and rewards that come with taking the Gospel to the least reached through real business.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD
Be realistic. Listen to feedback. Play well with others. Compromise. These are things we are often told. Well, what if the “other’’ party is wrong? What if the conventional wisdom is too conservative? An entrepreneur is someone with faith in God’s ability to work...
PRIVACY – NO ROOM ON THE BEACH
Are you ever tired? Looking for a bit of rest? Need a break? Jesus often took breaks, but they didn’t always go as planned. In Matthew 13 Jesus goes out of His house to sit and rest by the sea. I live 100 yards from the ocean. I have a favorite place to sit and enjoy...
GROANING
