Paul Schultheis: Giving to God’s Passion

47 minutes

Have you ever considered how you can give to God’s passion?

In this episode, Jeff and Paul discuss:

The power of building and maintaining relationships.

Spreading the gospel and accepting the great commission.

Viewing your business as a mission field.

Laying aside your bias to listen and give better.

Key Takeaways:

When sharing the gospel, you need to understand your audience - it isn’t about you.

God is raising up people in every country. By working together, the Kindom will grow that much faster and stronger.

Prayer is as much listening as it is speaking. Start your giving by listening to Him with intention.

You don’t have to be passionate about one cause or another before you start giving. Let God lead, and your heart will follow where He leads.

"When you give to something, your passion will follow." — Paul Schultheis
