Several weeks ago I started working on the development of a business leader book club. It is exclusively designed outside the scope of SRC for the purpose of putting me in contact with unchurched and dechurched people. Jesus said he'd make us fishers of men, so I went looking for a new fishing hole. And low and behold I found one, and I didn't even have to dig it.
My sister Sarah works with the wife of a business owner in the area and he, as it turns out, leads a book club for business leaders. I ended up invited and I had a blast last night. It was great to hear their discussion. It was a totally diverse group a retired engineer who now does consulting, a computer engineer, a guy who is a customer service manager, and me. It was fascinating to listen to their life experiences. I felt like I learned so much from them.
They seemed fascinated by me too. I felt like I did quite a bit of talking (maybe too much) but they kept asking questions, so I kept giving them answers. I think that they were most intrigued at the idea that there is a business side to Church. It was great. I'm looking forward to the next group. We're supposed to be reading a book on the economics of energy. How stimulating!!! I haven't heard one of those recommended at any pastors meetings.
