Where can you leverage your social capital to serve and grow in a community of God’s love? 

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Michele discuss:

• Bringing the mountain top experiences back to your everyday life.
• Finding the moments of connection with all of God’s children.
• Investing wisely and stewarding God’s resources takes time and practice.
• Sharing what you know with others.
• Integrating children in the Lord’s work.

Key Takeaways: 

• There is magic in working with people and talking. Social capital has power.
• You don’t have to invest in the way the world invests. There is more to investing than just the stock market.
• Women like to be engaged. Most are not satisfied with just writing a check.
• Be generous with more than money. You can be generous with your resources, time, contacts, knowledge, and more.

"One thing that's been really important for me, and why I continue to go on these trips and also connect in my local community, is just being proximate to people who have different lived experiences than me." —  Michele Dudley
