Brian Moak from Irby Utilities — just back from the Masters and Talladega — joins Howard to discuss how competition creates Win/Win situations not just for our customers but also for our competitors.

The Parable of Prodigal Son illustrates this reality and helps us understand God’s perfect, holy, wise, and loving character.

We were born to produce synergistic creativity in life and in work with people who are different from us. The best work involves the joining of differences — synergies of different people's gifts, ideas, backgrounds and experiences — to create something new that benefits the world.

How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company.

We seek first to understand because, knowing Jesus has provided for our every need, we desire to give other people what they truly need. Therefore, we can risk our words, reputations, and even our lives to better understand others in order to provide solutions that help them flourish.
