Bill & Stacy Spencer founded The Narrow gate in Duck River, TN. That's interesting because Narrow Gate is an ENTERPRISE (Think coffee, leather goods, wood beams, artists, and a lodge...) and it MAKES disciples, one at a time. How do they do that? Here's an episode on that!

The dilemma of a declining population of craftsmen in America is real - and its problem is not confined to manufacturing. The roots of the problem are subtle - and eerily similar to the challenge of making disciples in the Church. Dave Hataj, President of Edgerton Gear - also an Author and Theologian explains as we talk about his new book "The Craftsman's Code - A Blueprint for Building Meaningful Life and Enduring Legacy"
