Chuck Welden: Integrating Faith Deeply into Your Business

39 minutes

What is the goal and assignment you have received from God?

In this episode, Jeff and Chuck discuss:

God can find you wherever you are, even if you aren’t expecting it.

Humbling and honestly handling struggles.

Ministry outside of church employment.

Beginning with moderation on business ministry.

Key Takeaways:

Your work matters to God. He can have an impact through you no matter what industry or sector you are in.

You’re not as smart as you think you are; you’re not as dumb as you think you are, either.

You don’t treasure what you don’t measure. How are you progressing God’s Kingdom each day?

Get good at what you’re doing. It will help your business flourish and your generosity increase.

"We say you don't treasure what you don't measure. We measure everything, and then we rely on God to show us how we can change and how we can evolve, how we can modify." — Chuck Welden
