Hey everybody welcome to the Mir Christians podcast I'm Jordan Rayner. How does the

gospel influence the work of mere Christians?

Those of us who aren't pastors but who work as jewelers, cable installers,

and pharmacists?

That's the question we explore every week and today I'm posing it to

my good friend Sean Castillo. He's one of my favorite people on earth. He's a crazy talented leader, played Division 1 college

football at the United States Military Academy at West Point, served as an officer in the United

States Army, including a state of combat in Iraq,

but for the last 13 years Sean has served as the president of Preferred Technologies,

a large security installer based in Houston, Texas.

Sean and I finally got a chance to record one of our many conversations publicly.

We talked about how we can spot the deeply personal needs of the people that we work with.

We talked about the injustice that blue collar workers experience in our culture today and what you and I can do about it.

We also shared these three ways that you and I can scratch off the kingdom. I'm not talking about gambling scratch offs, please

don't send me your angry emails. But how can we through our work reveal what's on the

other side of the thin veil that separates Earth in heaven?

I promise you guys are going to love this episode with my friend Sean Castillo,

Castillo, welcome to the podcast brother.

Thank you.

It's an honor to be here. Long time listener, first time caller. I was thinking before we got on, I think the first time we ever talked live, we've been friends for a couple years, was my favorite Zoom meeting of all time with you and your son Kyle who was how old was he this is a couple years ago he would have been eight at the time and so Kyle wants to be a writer I don't know if he still wants to be a writer.

I don't know if he still wants to be a writer,

but he did when he was eight.
