“Faith Forward leaders plan ahead for ownership transitions with intent...” — Becca Spradlin Lead On Mission Quote

“Faith Forward leaders plan ahead for ownership transitions with intentionality to preserve the core and care well for team members in the process.”

“Creating a culture with eternal impact starts with leaders—including owners and board members— being motivated by their faith to guide the firm toward a higher purpose.”

“Every business requires taking risks, including risks related to cultivating faith at work.”

“Faith Forward leaders seek God’s guidance because they trust in His infinite knowledge. They know that He sees the past, present, and future. He is faithful and unchanging. He is the one true source of wisdom.”

“God is already at work in you and in your company. God has given you an incredible opportunity to steward the position He has given you to impact the world.”

“True love is a choice, even when it doesn’t come easily. It’s not selfish. It’s about giving to the one I love, even when I don’t feel like it.”

“Find what you want. I will find you.”

“Although the far territory of the extreme can exert an intoxicating pull on susceptible individuals of all bents, extremism seems to be especially prevalent among those inclined by temperament or upbringing toward religious pursuits. Faith is the very antithesis of reason, injudiciousness a crucial component of spiritual devotion. And when religious fanaticism supplants ratiocination, all bets are suddenly off.”

“What you do in the Lord is not in vain. You are not oiling the wheels of a machine that's about to roll over a cliff. You are not restoring a great painting that's shortly going to be thrown on the fire. You are not planting rosed in a garden that's about to be dug up for a building site. You are -- strange though it may seem, almost as hard to believe as the resurrection itself -- accomplishing something that will become in due course part of God's new world. Every act of love, gratitude, and kindness; every work of art or music inspired by the love of God and delight in the beauty of his creation; every minute spent teaching a severely handicapped child to read or walk; every act of care and nurture, of comfort and support, for one's fellow human beings and for that matter one's fellow nonhuman creatures; and of course every prayer, all Spirit-led teaching, every deed that spreads the gospel, builds up the church, embraces and embodies holiness rather than corruption, and make the name of Jesus honored in the world -- all of this will find its way, through the resurrecting power of God, into the new creation that God will one day make.”
