KS 404 - FAITH AND BUSINESS: A JOURNEY FROM PULPIT TO MARKETPLACE

Send us a text

After years of picturing myself in the pulpit, I discovered my true calling wasn't confined to a church, but rather in the bustling world of business. What happens when faith meets the marketplace? This episode of "The Success Edge" reveals how embracing your God-given talents without apology can lead to a life of purpose and professional growth. Inspired by Proverbs 22:29, I share how integrating spirituality with work has transformed my journey from aspiring preacher to a marketplace leader, even amidst the challenges of election day anxiety.

The road to understanding one's purpose is rarely straightforward. My college years were marked by unexpected challenges, like a fractured arm that abruptly changed my athletic path. These setbacks guided me toward a newfound passion in business, sparked by a marketing class and the influence of a dedicated coach. From decathlon athlete to hammer thrower, my evolution wasn't just physical. It was in these moments of transformation and a mission trip to Europe that I met my future wife, Amy J Ellis, underscoring the serendipitous beauty of life's journey.

Mentorship played a vital role during times of personal struggle, offering guidance when I needed it most. Navigating relationships and maintaining purity were significant challenges, but a chance encounter at church led to transformative growth. With gratitude, I reflect on the profound impact my mentor had on shaping my path. Join me as I recount these pivotal experiences and affirm the belief that we are indeed blessed, highly favored, and empowered to prosper in our endeavors.
