The Goal Is to Abide
In this enlightening episode, "The Goal is to Abide: Grow Spiritually," we delve deep into the essence of spiritual growth for Christian entrepreneurs, inspired by the powerful teachings of John 15:5. Here, Jesus's profound words, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing,” serve as our central theme.
This episode explores the significant metaphor from Jesus Christ, emphasizing the vital importance of maintaining a deep and nourishing connection with Him. For Christian entrepreneurs, this abiding in Christ is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a foundational aspect of how we run our businesses, make decisions, and overcome the myriad challenges we face. We discuss how this spiritual relationship provides strength, wisdom, and guidance that transcends mere personal growth, influencing every facet of our professional lives.
Further enriching this discussion, we reflect on the insights of Dr. Dallas Willard, who said, “Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.” This perspective sheds light on the true nature of business - not as a mere commercial endeavor, but as a divinely ordained platform for practicing love and service. We explore how this view can profoundly reshape our understanding of our business activities, aligning them with a higher purpose of serving and loving our community, customers, and employees, and embodying our Christian values in every action we take.
Join us in this inspiring episode as we navigate the intertwining paths of faith, business, and personal growth, and learn how to truly abide in Christ while fulfilling our entrepreneurial calling.
