In this episode, Jeff and Christian discuss: 

• Lessons learned through life.
• Reengaging with God and having a spiritual mentor. 
• Using your position to bring God into all aspects of your life. 
• Utilizing a donor-advised fund in your generosity.

Key Takeaways: 

• In business, you should know the outcome of a vote before the vote is taken. 
• When things aren’t working - do something different. 
• God’s hand is in everything. There are connections in your life that you won’t be able to see until after the fact. 
• If it needs to be done, get it done, in God’s work and in business. You have talents that someone else needs. 

"God has a way of taking you through life and teaching you lessons along the way. It’s not particularly in focus when you’re in the middle of it." —  Christian Hilliard
