The Creator - The Initiative, Importance, and Impact of Leadership

CREATED, CALLED AND CULTIVATED FOR GOOD WORKS
I explore why work predates the fall, what “good works” means biblically, and how to align our works with God’s glory and people’s good. Purpose isn’t in a job title or to-do list; it’s in work that gives life, points to God, and serves people by solving problems.
