\\n\\n\\xa0\\u201cThere was this giant dissonance between the life I was living, which was joyless, and this pathway of joy so clearly outlined in the Bible. And I said, \\u201cHow am I going to bridge this gap? How am I going to reconcile this?\\u201d-Jeff Spadafora

So many people \\u201chave been brainwashed into thinking that the key to happiness is to make as much money as you can as fast as you can,\\u201d begins Jeff Spadafora in this inspiring and enlightening message of how to integrate your career with your God-given gifts and purpose.
\\nHe relates how we mistakenly tend toward a \\u201cbinary vision\\u201d of thinking that we can only choose the marketplace or the mission field, when in fact there are multiple ways that we can remain in our current platform and still be fully obedient to God\\u2019s plan for us. We can \\u201cbloom\\u201d right where we are currently planted!
\\n\\n\\n\\xa0\\u201cLive an integrated life, where your Tuesday afternoon board meeting self is the exact same self as on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. when you\\u2019re tearing up hearing the Gospel.\\u201d \\u2013Jeff Spadafora

\\n\\n\\n\\u201cToo many people focus the better part of their lives on the wrong things: the company\\u2019s agenda, other peoples\\u2019 ideas of success . . . money. Over time, this leads to frustration and emptiness. True freedom comes as a people discover their God-given design and pour themselves into service for others.\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0\\u2013Jeff Spadafora
