ABW 40 - The Great Commandment Fulfilled Through Business


Listen Later

This week’s interview is with Judah Musick, a serial technology entrepreneur with a sincere drive to see demonstrable city impact through business. With a desire to see the simplicity and power of The Great Commandment (“Love God, Love Your Neighbor”) at work in his own backyard, Judah started the Community Impact Fund in Denver, CO.

One powerful testimony is when Judah went to a family’s house on Christmas Eve to deliver food. This family looked outwardly affluent but was in desperation because the husband had divorced the wife and left the family with huge debt. One of the daughters was anorexic and suicidal, and the mother was at her wit’s end. After Judah dropped off the food, the mother later told him that because of this practical demonstration of love, “God is real. He heard me; He sees me.” Within one month of this, $250,000 of donations were raised and there was a clear call to go further with this model.

This has also led to a larger effort to help businesses create Employee Care Programs that meet the previously unmet needs of their workforce, 30% of whom are in financial desperation. So far, they’ve had an 80% employee participation rate in the pilot program, with many more exciting things to come. This is an example of businesses demonstrating God’s love and transforming cities and communities by living out the Great Commandment.
