Less than 50% of M&A business deals meet their original objectives; less than 50% of marriages finish the way that God intended. Tom Steipp will share from scriptures and a lifetime of personal experience God’s principles for improving your odds of being successful in business, and more importantly, in marriage.
We live in Silicon Valley, business can be demanding, marriage can be frustrating. Many young Christians think that if they simply go to church regularly and follow the mores of American culture, they will have a God-glorifying career, marriage and family. The belief that we can have it all drives many careers and marriages to the ragged edge – and beyond. We cannot put our lives and behaviors on auto-pilot, losing sight of the Bible’s teachings, and expect to find real success in either arena.
God designed marriage for our benefit and enjoyment. Tom and his wife, Deb, have been married for 35 years; he readily acknowledges the challenges of trying to balance career, marriage, family, and ministry. He will share some of his bigger mistakes along with his greatest joys in navigating those turbulent waters. Along the way he has become convinced that the best principles for business and marriage come straight out of Bible.
Join us as Tom, accompanied by the love of his life, shares some of the Biblical principles that have molded his own life.
