BONUS TIME

• [30m 21s] Biggest career failure or struggle and how you got there: after seminary he went to a church with not much spirituality and the people were resistant; he felt like he wasn’t very free to minister as God would want him to
• [38m 18s] Time in life when you were confused about which career path God would have you to follow and if so how did He clear the smoke? After coming back from a tour on active duty, questioned whether pastoring was what he was supposed to be doing. Saw that he could serve the Lord in business, and felt led to leave the pastorate for a career in business. Whatever you do, do it for God’s glory.
• [45m 46s] How are you using your current career to impact others for Christ? tries to walk in the Lord and people see that and that opens up a dialogue
• [48m 4s] Was there a time in your life when God directed you down a path that you just did not want to go down or that you were confused about? no; he has always been curious and hasn’t really been fearful when God has directed him down a very different path
• [50m 4s] Productivity tool that maximizes efficacy in the workplace: an application called Keep (Google Keep); keeps him on track with daily to-dos and scheduling
