In this series, we're diving into the deep wisdom Scripture gives us for building and running a business. Some would say -- and many have -- that the Bible has very little instruction on what it means to run your business.

In this episode, we delve into the significance of being a light in the workplace, understanding spiritual blindness, and the need for compassion in business practices. We challenge listeners to reflect on how they can bring light into their industries and create a culture of goodness, righteousness, and truth.
