But what happens when our passion for ministry begins to unravel the very business God has entrusted to us? In this talk, Brandon West shares from his own journey of learning to lead with both conviction and competence. This message is for leaders who are building a Kingdom-minded workplace but feel the weight of sustaining a strong, strategic, and financially healthy company. If you are caught between purpose and performance, this conversation will meet you in the tension and help you remain faithful in both.
