What role does faith play in our daily lives? And when we say daily lives, we include our work/business lives. Think about it: At least 8 out of our waking hours (usually more) is spent in the marketplace...our businesses and our interactions with other business people. So if you're a person of faith, what role do your beliefs have on your business? If you're not a person of faith, what role could it have? We realize this isn't a "normal" topic to discuss in the business world. But in light of recent events and conversations we see happening more and more around us, we felt it was important to talk about it: Faith in the our businesses. We hope this is a blessing and encouragement to you.
