Where can you leverage your social capital to serve and grow in a community of God’s love?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Michele discuss:

  • Bringing the mountain top experiences back to your everyday life.
  • Finding the moments of connection with all of God’s children.
  • Investing wisely and stewarding God’s resources takes time and practice.
  • Sharing what you know with others.
  • Integrating children in the Lord’s work.

Key Takeaways:

  • There is magic in working with people and talking. Social capital has power.
  • You don’t have to invest in the way the world invests. There is more to investing than just the stock market.
  • Women like to be engaged. Most are not satisfied with just writing a check.
  • Be generous with more than money. You can be generous with your resources, time, contacts, knowledge, and more.

"One thing that's been really important for me, and why I continue to go on these trips and also connect in my local community, is just being proximate to people who have different lived experiences than me." — Michele Dudley
