Britt Harris urges us to take (and lead others along) the narrow path that Jesus said leads to life, rather than the broad path that leads to destruction. Harris warns, however, that the narrow path does not make life easy but will almost certainly bring "pit" experiences and pain intended for our refinement and preparation. In transparently sharing his own painful pit experience and explaining the Biblical life of Joseph, Britt shows how pain and refining fire are the norm on the narrow path because they are God's way of purposefully moving us forward to something better that He has planned for our lives.

David Block shares the bumpy road that led him to living his God-given purpose as an entrepreneur. He describes the first stage as a successful equity analyst that taught him about the nutritional supplement industry. That led him to the second stage as a workaholic hedge fund manager who grew increasingly miserable and empty in the midst of financial and material success. In this misery and emptiness, a cry to God began an incredible third stage toward his true purpose as a Christian entrepreneur in the nutritional supplement industry able to use business to express Christ's mission of loving the world and making all things new. The third stage has been filled with deep valleys and extraordinary miracles that taught him the reality of God's word and the security of his promises.

Terry Botwick shares his own faith journey and what he has come to believe after 30 years of trying to figure out how to integrate his work into his faith. He believes that engaging the culture through film is imperative for followers of Jesus Christ and can (and should) be profitable as well. Terry is committed to using "story" to communicate the nature of God, challenge people and bring lasting change. He is also committed to approaching culture-engaging filmmaking in a commercial way. In explaining the current market for "Christian films", Botwick addresses what he believes to be some common misconceptions of evangelical Christians regarding films, including that film is an effective evangelistic tool and that "wholesome" and "Biblical" are the same thing.

Sajan George, founder and CEO of Matchbook Learning, shares the story of how he found himself in a role leading turn-around efforts at some of the nation's largest school districts, and then how a movie started him on a journey that led to leaving his very successful consulting career (in the middle of a recession) for an "idea". The idea was to start a not-for-profit organization committed to figuring out how to use technology to turn-around the bottom 5% of the nation's schools. Sajan transparently shares how this leap led him to face some big fears and how God's love brought him through.

Sajan has come to see "calling" as a journey rather than a destination--a way for us to become better and better versions of ourselves that get closer and closer to God's best vision for us. He also walks through a framework for exploring the unique path where your God-given excellence (skill), a redemptive edge (a need in the world that you can impact) and frustrations you may be feeling (a sign of your passion) converge.

Mark Curtis, a founder and the CEO of Splash Car Washes, shares how God used Splash to turn Mark back toward Him and now uses Splash to "love" its employees by giving them purpose, treating them like family, showing them respect, and providing them with training and opportunities for advancement. This is a real life example of the type of "Connection Culture" we learned about from Mike Stallard. Mark describes how God carried him through a series of mistakes and difficulties and then gave him the purpose, tools and process to build Splash into a business that gives its employees the purpose, tools and process needed to flourish. Splash was named a "Top Place to Work" for the last two years in a row and gives back by supporting numerous charities. This is an inspirational and aspirational story for any business owner, leader or manager.

Greg Doll shares some key life lessons he learned from his father. These weren't lessons drilled in through lectures--they were lessons absorbed by watching. They are lessons that Greg has been able to draw upon for his own life and lessons that have informed his mentoring, coaching and counseling of student-athletes, people going through life transitions and those Greg calls the "successful but miserable"--people who have tremendous worldly success but are empty inside. Greg's seven lessons are: (1) Give thanks at all times; (2) Never give place to unforgiveness, resentment or bitterness; (3) Believe in the p[ower of Christ's redemption; (4) Live joyfully and keep your sense of humor; (5) Serve unto God; (6) Love unconditionally; and (7) Have a healthy spiritual rhythm.
