How are you embracing your current situation to learn and lift where you are? In this episode, Jeff and Mike discuss: Trying different things while searching for your calling. Taking time while away to evaluate priorities and values. Turning to God in the windfalls of our life. Your work in business is a high calling. Key Takeaways: Run your business with a stewardship mentality. Everything belongs to God, He is there in the highs and the lows of business. Business is about the people, not the product. Hold on loosely, value people, and give them opportunities to advance even if they don’t stay. If you’re doing what’s best for your people, ultimately, you’re doing what’s best for your business. Ministry is not the only high calling in life. Your high calling may be in business and helping others reach their high callings. Embrace where you are at and invest in those around you. "Those of us who have faith in Christ know that our finances aren't our own.
