CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

  • The connection between service in the U.S. Army and service mentioned in the Bible
  • What it looks like to have a more holistic approach to living life
  • How Carl's book has opened up a dialogue between the East and the West based on his study of both the Bible and the Quran.
  • "Work hard but rest."
  • How you can serve others with success yet set boundaries for yourself

    • The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Carl is, What is the faith that drives you to make the most of what you can in your work and community? (It doesn't even need to be religion.)
