Summary
Want to start a business? Wondering if you should start traveling for your job or pick up an extra shift? Trying to bend and stretch your schedule to make all your opportunities work? Being able to consider new work responsibilities, ministry roles, or creative endeavors isn't the norm for everyone, but when we have a choice, it's a huge privilege to steward. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss how to evaluate new or changing career or ministry opportunities. We're made to work and use our gifts to pass on the legacy of faith in all we do. By tuning our thoughts to God's word, we can pursue holiness, count the cost of each decision, and lay down our lives for others.
