Wow! Deep podcast and what I appreciate about you (3), is the ability to frame the problems into human terms. As an entrepreneur I could completely relate with your subject matter and it struck this cord….after almost 30 years of being an entrepreneur, do I feel a betrayal from God for not providing financially after all the hard work and multitasking of wearing so many hats. I’m not sure if pastors feel that but the complex layers of defining provision has been the most difficult challenge for me. Especially in the way that entrepreneurs may not feel like they can take the necessary break..lots to think about! I need to process this - so thank you!
I will also be praying for pastors for safe places to rest and heal.
