When Boldness Turns into Foreclosure: Lessons from a Failed Development

by The Stone Table | Nov 30, 2023

This week we discuss the misconception that people of faith are always bold and irrational risk-takers. Erik shares a personal story about a partially developed property in southern Indiana that was foreclosed on by a bank. The property was being developed by Christian builders who had a vision but lacked the funds to complete the project. He emphasizes that faith and risk are not synonymous, but faith always requires obedience. Erik highlights the importance of discerning what God is saying and being obedient to His guidance.

by The Stone Table | Oct 17, 2023

Recently, I found myself 10,000 miles from home, and on that trip, God spoke something very profound. I just returned from the Asia Pacific region.
