March 18, 2022 Episode 46 - What is the (Christian) Purpose of Business
***sorry for the technical difficulties. The intro didn’t seem to make it on the published version, so there’s some unexpected silence at the beginning *** This episode is actually Episode 1 for a podcast from the Lytle Center for Faith and Leadership. Cole was a guest on that podcast, and joined Dennis Marquardt and Dodd Roberts for an engaging discussion of how business and Christianity can be thought of in integrated ways.
