Introductory Meeting

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT) �1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

  • Which side of faith do you find yourself in for your work progression?
  • Everything belongs to God’s son… do we believe this in our business development/career progression?
  • How can we serve the Lord with reverent fear in our work and lives?

    • Summary: “Where is my business ministry?”
    • Current business topics (What is specifically going on that affects my situation)
    • What the host wants by the end of the meeting. “I am looking for clarity and perspective on a personal ministry plan for the next few years”
  • Other ideas: I need to get sales. I don’t know how to hire. I want to better reach my market. I work too much, and my family seems to be falling apart.
  • Brothers challenge one another, requesting clarification and giving insights.
