Since 2020, one process has helped me more than anything else I've done. Every year around the new year I do something called an Annual Reflection. It helps me learn from the year ending and plan for the year ahead. Here's a tool I created that you can use to engage this kind of process: https://fullcircleleader.notion.site/The-Annual-Reflection-Guide-7-Simple-Steps-to-Maximize-Your-Growth-2d24ed5701368109a94eee7fd387ceac?source=copy_link Also here's a great podcast about this topic featuring one of my favorite entrepreneurs, Jesse Itzler. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5H4CHECKmdOO118aY3HWPV?si=Oj7n10D6QY69v6djMjAKjg&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A3mliji9352UAk3XnWElnDV&t=0&pi=i7nd4_nISxmcI Happy new year. Let's make a good one to the Glory of God.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Craig. Since 2013, I've been in full-time vocational ministry helping to build and lead the Resonate Collective – a network of churches in the Pacific Northwest. We've been focused on the next generation by planting churches on or near college campuses. After seeing thousands of college students follow Jesus and orient the rest of their lives toward God's Kingdom I began to notice a hole in our strategy and an opportunity for greater impact. We got really good at identifying and training the next generation of pastors, but had no strategy for the next generation of entrepreneurs who could build businesses and generate resources to fund the work of the church. That's why this community exists. I'm building a new thing dedicated to identifying, developing, connecting, and challenging men and women who don't want to just build "Christian" businesses but want to build Kingdom First lives. I want to find leaders who have a vision for building businesses that advance God's Kingdom, empower their local churches, and train up the next generation of leaders. So, welcome! I'm glad you're here. Here's how you can get started in the community: 👋 - Say hello and introduce yourself, and what you do. Let us know if you're currently a business owner. ❤️ - Share one of your favorite resources (a book, podcast, person, etc). 🧭 - Where are you going in 2026? Share a goal or dream you have. 🤝 - Invite two friends you think fit the vibe of the community. They could be current business owners/entrepreneurs or someone who wants to learn about business. Let's build the future of Church and Business.
