On June 28th Mark Albers joined us at the Business & Faith breakfast and spoke on the topic of work/life balance and the Christian perspective.

We have all felt like we were drinking from the fire hydrant of life's demands at times. Leading in any business area usually leads to an overwhelming schedule that finds the "truly important" things in life being crowded out by the merely "urgent" issues. Marks talk ended with a Challenge to view our work as a calling from God that we are uniquely gifted for.
