Hey friend welcome to the mere Christians podcast I'm Jordan

Rayner. How does the gospel influence the work of mere Christians, those of us who are not

pastors are not religious professionals, but who work as geography teachers, police

officers and translators.

That's the question we explore every week,

and today I'm posing it to my good friend Mike Shero,

the CEO of C12, a brand of peer advisory groups for Christian CEOs, with more than 4,000 members

all over the world. Mike and I finally sat down live on the show to talk about the dangers

in Church's culture of giving. We talked about what Christian peer groups might have

looked like in the first century and how you and I can create

mini bema seat moments to judge our work before God does you're not going to want to miss this episode with my good friend, Mike Sharra.

Mike Sharra, welcome to the Muir Christians podcast.

Jordan, I've been looking forward to this.

How in the world have we gone like 250 episodes deep and you haven't been on?

I was asking my counselor the same question a couple times and he said I must have offended you at some point

that's it.

That's it man.

Hey so I feel like I know you pretty well, but I learned something new about you in prepping for this episode,

digging through my team's research.

You were at Walgreens for a bunch of years in kind of an entrepreneurial role. What did you do there? What's the story there?

Yeah, super fast things. So first of all I was I was just super poor and I worked full-time all through

college so they were hiring and that looked great to me.
