About this audiobook
When Jeff Simmons started in ministry, he was surprised at how much of his time involved business. Yet business was never a part of his theological education.
He’s not alone. Most people in ministry receive little or no training in this area. When faced with multiple business decisions and tasks a day, leaders can become discouraged or frustrated.
We need help and guidance to become effective and wise stewards of the money and resources entrusted to us by God. Pastor and entrepreneur Jeff Simmons equips you with the training you need to have the greatest kingdom impact. When pastors and nonprofit leaders are good at the business side of their ministry, more people can be blessed and supported.
Simmons explores topics such as:
- The Tension between Faith and Business
- The Importance of Strategic Planning
- Financial Transparency
- Resources and Buildings
- Work and Life Balance
- Developing a Community—and more
This book will help every ministry, church, and nonprofit maximize their resources for greater kingdom impact.
