302 - Hidden Business Codes of the Bible - Part 2

In this series, we're diving into the deep wisdom Scripture gives us for building and running a business. Some would say -- and many have -- that the Bible has very little instruction on what it means to run your business.

In this episode we talk about the false promise of prosperity Gospel, or a "God hack", in our business. We mix up our calling to start a business with the promise that we'll be successful. As we prepare to dive into the New Testament business codes, we have to do a heart check about what we believe God's real purpose is in our business.
