Episode 84 - Strategic Faith Planning (part 1) w Dr Bruce Cook

We believe that it is when business owners and leaders live in the tension - welcoming both the necessity to plan and the necessity to live by faith…that we will see Kingdom transformation occurring in our businesses. 

It's in that tension that we lean into the admonition of James 2 verses 17-18, "so also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself.  But someone will say "you have faith and I have works". Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works". 

It is quite possible that it is in the daily operation of a business that we can experience the greatest testing of our faith, through our deep dependency on God to accomplish the work that He has planned in advance for us to do - as we are reminded of in Ephesians 2:10
