I do not believe that there's some random way God puts us into the world and says, get on with it,

and you need a bit of help, come and pray. We often forget that the God of calling is also the God of creation.

And we misunderstand the fact that I have been created as a particular person.

For, you know, I was born my mother's womb, he knew that I was going to be a banker.

So that which God has created in me, he wishes to express in the calling that he has given me

in a particular timeframe.

There was no sacred, secular divide, there was no bishop or banker that was more preferable

to God.

My work station is my worship station.

Welcome, everybody.

This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired.

It's brilliant to be back for another fantastic week of encouragement.

If you're new to us, I don't know about you,

but I just had enough of listening to the news 24-7,

and actually it's a strong

to be not to do that, because if you do that, if you get caught in that 24-7 news cycle,

it just makes you depressed and anxious and fearful.

And what we need is lashings of good news and encouragement.

And that's what I know you're going to get this week, because we got with us legendary Ken Costa. Welcome, Ken. Hi, Solomon. Fantastic to have you. So Ken and I, we go back,

well, through HGB's Focus Weeks and new wine. I'm guessing 25-ish years of attending those things

and speaking at them. And there's so much to say about your CV and that could take up half the interview.

So basically I just want to say, what should I say?
