Introduced by Tom Leding, Dr. Mark Maynard delivers a message on seeking first the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33), understanding God as the primary source of wealth creation, generating "wealth with a purpose," and instilling entrepreneurial business principles in the next generation.
In this guest presentation, Dr. Maynard explores the concept of organizational sustainability ("a dream that outlives the dreamer"), the distinction between poverty of money vs. poverty of knowledge, the infinite return on investment in spiritual seeds, and modern lessons from the Parable of the $100 Bills (Matthew 25).
