We continue our journey through Mike's digital course, The Redemptive Enterprise: 15 Biblical Principles for Building a Profitable Business of Eternal Significance. He challenges America’s fixation on retirement, arguing it reflects scarcity, fear, and distrust of God, while aiming for “redemption” reflects faithful productivity for God’s kingdom.

We finish looking at Matthew 25’s Parable of the Bags of Gold and learn how our view of God's character ultimately determines whether we become storehouses for our own greedy purposes, or stewards for God's kingdom purposes.

God’s first call on humanity was entrepreneurial. In fact, the bible teaches that your business is your ministry.

Today we begin a new series based on Mike's digital course, The Redemptive Enterprise: 15 Biblical Principles for Building a Profitable Business of Eternal Significance.

Drawing from Matthew 25’s parable of the talents, Mike emphasizes principle #1: God's Goodness and Sovereignty in granting us dominion as stewards for his kingdom purposes. He reframes entrepreneurship as experimental discovery under God’s laws and urges Christians lay claim to God's creation mandate which is a call to entrepreneurship - to be fruitful, create, and add value for others.

This week I reflect on Jesus' empty tomb that we celebrated last Easter weekend, and what it teaches us about entrepreneurship - specifically business adversity.  When things look the most hopeless, God is be working behind the scenes in ways we could never comprehend.
