2016 Spring Anthology

Partnership

We talk about it. We like it. We know it is right to do. Yet, partnership so often eludes us. It takes time, thought and a specific intention.

Partnerships in the business world typically revolve around a “what’s in it for me?” approach. Partnership is even better when the goals of our partnership are not focused on serving the partners, but when the partners have somebody else to bless. Paul, for example, charging Philemon to treat Onesimus as a fellow brother in Christ. Paul and Philemon, partnering to bless Onesimus and, in the end, everybody is better off for it.

As you read these articles consider your own philosophy of partnership.
