The Ways of Prosperity

On this episode of The God At Work Podcast, Farra sits down with authors Jeremy and Dr. Ally Butrous to discuss the key components of finding prosperity in the workplace. Jeremy and Ally emphasize in order to find true success in any business, we need to move from a place of lack to a place of fullness. They explain to reach that place of fullness, we have to understand our life's calling through God's plan and grace. Once we begin to live our lives through God's abundance, rather than simply waiting for a roadmap to lead us from place to place, we can truly step into the success that God wants us to experience. Jeremy and Ally also speak about the importance of relationships in business and that all forms of business boil down to forming deep, meaningful relationships with others. However, we cannot form healthy relationships with others until we know ourselves in who God has called us to be.
