Synopsis

God calls us to the work we are doing. He’s interested not only in what we do, but how we do it. Yet, finding purpose at work is one of the greatest challenges of our world today.

 

Does my work matter to God? Is ambition good? How do I deal with failure? How do I make difficult decisions?

 

Ken Costa shares his practical insights and experience gained from more than forty years working in finance. This timeless message, that there is space for faith at work, will truly inspire you to live each day with purpose.
