Banking Alone

  Recently I received an urgent plea from Mike, a young investment banker in New York. Mike had just graduated with his BA in financial economics from Columbia University.

The Christian Life is Taught & Caught

Corporate Tithing: An Interview with Jack Kim

Jack Kim has different dreams than the rest of us. I first met Jack at Colorado Community Church when we started talking after a service.

Intergenerational Friendship

  Take a second and picture some of your closest friends. Now think of people who have served as your most influential mentors. I’d be willing to bet that with few exceptions, the same faces didn’t appear as both “friends” and “mentors.” In all likelihood, most of your friends shared experiences with you in the […]
