In this episode Jon and Les engage in a coaching conversation with Ben Watt.  Ben has served in several pastoral roles and has a huge heart for the Church.  But Ben also has so many ideas about businesses that he would like to start and operate that could help serve others and increase his own ability to give generously to God’s kingdom work.  We believe you will find some encouraging and thought-provoking takeaways from this powerful coaching conversation.
