    Ep. 146 | Jared Allen, Habakkuk Health [transitional seasons, seeking outside council, partnering with like-minded organizations]

    This episode is brought to you by Habakkuk. No, not the Hebrew prophet, but the OKC based orthopedic device distributor. Though clearly by the name, we do things a little differently. One of those things we have done is collaborate with local orthopedic surgeons to write multiple Bible reading plans for the YouVersion Bible app that show the integration of God’s Word with the orthopedic experience. So, if you have ever had an orthopedic surgery or just feel the day to day aches and pains of life, click the link in the show notes below to see how God’s living Word applies to your orthopedic journey.
    ____________________________________________
    Sometimes in life you are privileged to work with a special leader who is also a close friend. A person who simultaneously inspires, challenges and knows you. Jared is one of those people for me. As iron sharpens iron, Jared has consistently invested in me, and so many others, as a leader, man and follower of Christ. He walks with a posture to honor God in all elements of his life. Not in perfect execution, but in honest pursuit of the One who has Jared's heart. Oh and he was also just promoted as CEO of Habakkuk, an orthopedic distributorship here in OKC.

John Mark Lawrence ,

Oklahoma City Christian Leaders

I’m a small business owner in OKC and I have to say, this podcast has been so helpful to me in learning how to operate a business as a follower of Jesus. I appreciate how vulnerable they are in sharing their experiences. They also provide helpful practical advice and suggestions. And I love hearing from other OKC business owners too!

The Holy Spirit Is Weaponized in Conflict

So enjoy Clay's Convos and really appreaciated Peggy Bodde on Leadership. Great stories, stellar insights and a genuine call to humble leadership. Loved the quote, "If we don't name something and have conversations around it, it's really hard to overcome it" Bravo!
