Beyond the Fish: How to Really Run a Christian Business

Around here, we really love stories about business owners who figure out how to bring their faith into their business beyond just putting a fish on their business cards. High Calling members like Sue Miley actually coach Christian entrepreneurs on how to have a success business without compromising faith.

I start with asking God to join my day and direct my path and plans according to his will, regardless of what my plans are. “
