Andy Weigel: The Power of Collaboration

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Andy discuss: Using business for His kingdom’s purposes. Living the scriptural tenants in regards to your finances. Learning through our errors. Investing and giving on your assets (not just your income).   Key Takeaways: When things are hard, that is when you grow and learn, either through the pain of regret or the pain of discipline. We get to choose. Relationships take time and are always changing. You have to help them grow, including your relationship with God. We are tasked with the wise allocation of limited resources. For God they are unlimited, in our hands, there are limitations. Working with other resource partners can help ministries grow across communities at a greater rate than ever before.   "God's created his world in such a way that those who take initiative are blessed, and God's called his people to take initiative." —  Andy Weigel Episode Reference: Generous Business Owner Episode: Dale Stockamp: Living the Parable of the Talents About Andy Weigel: Andy has been involved in commercial real estate brokering, investment, development, and management his entire career.
