Life:
Family. “I’m married to a beautiful wife and have four gorgeous little girls. Yes, four.”
Faith. “Bottom line: I am a servant of Jesus Christ. As my favorite song (“In Christ alone” by Keith Getty) goes, ‘I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ.’”
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FAITH DRIVEN ENTREPRENEUR
We spend about a third of our waking lives at work. And yet, for the majority of people, work is not much more than a paycheck. We feel lonely, especially men. We feel like there’s a gap between our job responsibilities and our own potential. We often feel exhausted and question whether our work is making any meaningful difference.
