In this episode of The 360, we’re diving into what it truly means to Serve in Excellence, not just in business, but in ministry. We often talk about customer service in the marketplace, but the same principles apply when you're serving in a church, on a ministry team, or in any space where people show up expecting care, connection, and intentionality.

We explore how your service reflects your heart, your leadership, and ultimately, your faith. Whether you're greeting people at the door or preaching from the platform, how you serve speaks just as loud as what you say.

With a special guest LaKita Corey  of Lil Boss & Associates joining us, we unpack the challenges, the mindset, and the heart posture needed to serve with consistency, grace, and impact.

We’re talking about the emotional side of spending—why people have every right to be upset when their experience doesn’t match the moment they were hoping for. We get into common service mistakes, the hard truth about eating your own mistakes as a business, and whether customers should have to “understand” that your business is having a bad day.
