Podcast Episode 80 - Serving Those Who Steal from You with Craig Deall

If you’ve followed the podcast for a while, there’s no doubt you’ve heard some amazing stories of success, failure, and everything in between. Well, today’s episode is something special. Craig Deall called us from Harari to share the story of what it was like when, under the rule of Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe forced thousands of industrial farmers to give up their lands. In a moment, generations of family wealth was gone. But what Craig’s response makes this story all the more amazing.

Tune in to hear more from his incredible story...

"One of the best investments"

Undoubtedly, you've come to understand that we are big fans of chaplaincy here at FDE. Here's a video from one of entrepreneurs that Corporate Chaplains of America works with. At Bandwidth, our first interaction with Corporate Chaplains of America was 10 years ago when Jeff Brown started visiting us every other Friday morning. His impact on our staff was HUGE. We'll tell that story on an upcoming blog. In the meantime, please enjoy this video about Janet Ward Black's experience.
