SUMMARY:Lunch + Learn: Gaining Daily Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:As Christians\, we know that Godly wisdom is an important part of our faith. But how do we 1) receive wisdom and 2) continually grow in that wisdom on a daily basis? \nWe’re excited to have Courtney Doctor\, Director of Women’s Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition\, share her experiences\, learnings\, and reflections on what part we play in laying hold of this wisdom God offers us in Christ. We hope to see you there! \nThis Lunch + Learn is sponsored by Elder’s Ace Hardware. \nAbout Courtney Doctor\nCourtney Doctor received an MDiv from Covenant Theological Seminary and currently serves as the Director of Women’s Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition. She is a Bible teacher and author of From Garden to Glory as well as several Bible studies including In View of God’s Mercies\, Behold and Believe\, and Remember your Joy. Courtney and her husband Craig have four children and five beautiful grandchildren. \nAbout the series\nJames 3 tells us “wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving\, considerate\, submissive\, full of mercy and good fruit\, impartial and sincere.” James also tells us “if any of you lacks wisdom\, you should ask God\, who gives generously to all without finding fault\, and it will be given to you.” But how do we actually receive and live this out in our workplace? How does the wisdom of God affect our practical daily decisions? \nIn our 2024-25 Lunch + Learn series we will be looking at what it means to lean into wisdom in our vocational lives. We will look at: \n\nWhat does it look like to seek wisdom in job/career transitions?\nHow do we lean into wisdom in daily decisions in the workplace?\nHow does wisdom change how we posture ourselves in the world?\nWhat are practices we can build into our work rhythms that help to lead with wisdom?

SUMMARY:Pastor & Entrepreneur Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Conference for Pastors to Connect to Entrepreneurs and Unleash them to be Fully Alive in their Business\, Church\, and Cities.  \nEntrepreneurs are all around you.\nIn today’s side hustle and gig economy\, as many as 20% of church attendees consider themselves entrepreneurially minded\, according to a study conducted by Barna and Faith Driven Entrepreneur. More than likely\, pastors have 10\, 20\, or 30+ entrepreneurs in their congregation at this very moment. And yet\, less than 1 percent of entrepreneurs are being discipled in their work. Millions of Christ-following business leaders and founders feel alone\, misunderstood\, and disheartened. Many have mortgaged their future to pursue God’s call for them to create. They’ve staked their very livelihood on their big idea. but this pressure causes many to sleepwalk on their journey of faith. \nWhat if the Church was a go-to for entrepreneurs to find support and affirmation?\nFewer people are coming inside the church for answers\, but it doesn’t mean they’ve stopped searching. They’re still building community\, but they’re connecting in the workplace. According to a recent Gallup Poll\, small businesses are trusted 9x more than politicians and 2x more than churches. Every day\, the people around us where we live and work are looking to entrepreneurs for leadership. How entrepreneurs build and invest shapes culture. They can be sources of brokenness or instruments of redemption. Research from Faith Driven partners worldwide shows entrepreneurs who come alive in their faith and work tend to become more committed and generous partners in the work the church is doing. How beautiful a vision of entrepreneurs partnering with the church to spread the gospel! \nRegister for this 2-hour conference on February 20\, hosted by Faith Driven Entrepreneur\, to be inspired and equipped with practical tools to become an outpost for business leaders in your community.
