  • Vocation at the Edges with Alexander Shackleton

    In this episode, Alexander Shackleton shares from his life as a businessman that brings him into deep relationships with others and a culture very different from his Western background. Is Alex a missionary working in business or a businessman that ministers or should we even divide those two vocations? We also hear our co-hosts reflect on other careers that they might enjoy and how to implement some of Alex's insights in their daily lives. Email us at [email protected], if you'd like to talk further.
