Convene Podcast

How BIG is your dream for generosity? Have you allowed yourself to dream, really dream about what God has put on your heart and what He wants you to do about it? Join Kendra Vandermeulen, CEO of National Christian Foundation and Greg Leith, CEO of Convene as they explore strategies to see your generosity dream through the lens of ALL of what God has entrusted to you instead of seeing it only through the lens of your cash flow. Your big dream can be fuel in your engine for building value into your business and stepping up to another level of living out Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Dare to dream BIG and see the Kingdom impact that unfolds.

“Learn to do good; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17 is one of many verses in the Bible about justice and protecting the most vulnerable. But did you know that the ‘business’ of labor slavery has a massive footprint around the globe and is about a 150 billion dollar a year industry? It directly impacts about 25 million people, half of the estimated 50 million people who are enslaved around the world. 

Jeff Hancock, International Justice Mission’s Director of Church Mobilization, joins Greg Leith on the Convene Podcast to give us an eye-opening perspective on justice, the ‘justice gap’, slavery, injustice, the work of restoration, and what it means to us as business owners.
