What does your Faith look like in the workplace? How does the vision of your business have anything to do
with your Faith? Our culture would say these two need to be separated (in their own little boxes). Our culture wants our Faith to be private. It’s politically correct to be Faith neutral and stick to business…. Really?
Our culture says the church should be a building, our businesses should make a profit, and our purpose is to do what feels good to you…. How’s that working for us?
The church is muted, businesses are generally only focused on profits, organizations all over our communities are trying to get their voice heard to little avail, our schools our failing, and efforts are splintered and siloed. Marriages are ending half the time, the world is restless with the financial markets, our faith in government is near all-time lows, and the finger is pointed everywhere.
Enough. We are called to more and we are going to engage our communities.
Beginning Friday, August 26th at 6:15 AM, you are invited to meet with other business leaders to begin to connect the dots of how Faith and Business can (and will) collide. We’ll learn business practices from other leaders in our community, we’ll learn about organizations making a difference in our cities, we’ll hear from leaders on how they’re working to integrate Faith in their workplace, and we’ll begin to connect relationally and strategically to change this Michiana community. As Steven Furtick said, it’s time to start digging ditches for our cities.
Gosh that’s early. Yep. That’s what coffee’s for.
Where are we meeting? Mutual Bank Building, Edison Lakes on the corner of Day and Edison Lakes Parkway (someone will help with directing you when you come in)
