What does it truly mean to flourish—and why does Scripture present flourishing as God's original design, not a modern ambition?

In this opening episode of Called to Flourish, Robert Wachter, Global Marketing Director, sits down with Jay Bransford, President & CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, to explore God's heart for human flourishing. Drawing from Genesis and the words of Jesus, Jay reflects on how true flourishing flows not from striving, but from abiding in Christ—and how leadership is ultimately a shepherding calling shaped by humility, integrity, and trust in God's work.

You'll gain biblical insight on:
• God's original design for flourishing
• Why flourishing begins with abiding in Christ
• How grace—not self-effort—leads to lasting fruit
• What faithful leadership looks like in God's economy
