Living Out Our Calling I think we often create an artificial dichotomy in which we divide what is “spiritual” and what is “secular.” We don’t leave work to go do ministry. Our work is the best opportunity we have for living out our calling and for engaging in true ministry.

Conventional wisdom tells us that difficulty is something to be avoided – that it is a setback that leaves you worse off than you would be otherwise. But the reality is those difficulties often set us up for our biggest wins. David was small, with no military equipment or experience.

Getting Help In Your Business You’re slamming the door on any hope of success if you DO NOT reach out for help. I really can’t imagine any business where any one person could do it all alone.

Should I just give up? I test lots of things for one year. If at that time it is not the success I had planned for, I typically stop spending time and money there and move on to the next opportunity.

I give more examples of what this looks like in this episode. Episode #685 October 11, 2019 Hi, this is Dan Miller – and yes ... Read More
