TLC Business Break

 

[Virtual Event] "Surviving and Thriving – When the Storms of Life Hit" presented by Mike Gragg, Serial Entrepreneur and Chief Operating Officer, StoneBridge Advisors

TLC Business Break

Your business and personal life is going along rather smoothly when a massive disruption hits you, such as the current pandemic. Or it could simply be a phone call about a close relative or friend. Or the results of your medical tests are not what you expected. Or, your company’s new “star” product (or employee) fails to perform as promised. Suddenly, you're in the midst of a nasty crisis. It could be personal, relational, financial, medical, or professional, but it's very real and it's very painful. What do you do when life doesn't turn out like you planned? 

We’ve all been there – faced a turning point, our own “Red Sea Crossing”, if you will. These are the moments that make or break our faith. In a flash, everything/one you hold dear – and have worked so hard for – is at risk. Worry and doubt creep in… You know the feeling. But do you know what hasn’t changed? God. In Christ, we are not powerless, but power-full. Instead of desperately striving to fix whatever “it” is in our own strength, we can choose to turn to the Lord and trust His power to deliver us from the storms of life. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done when everything is on the line.

On Thursday, May 28, join us at our next TLC Business Break for a special message of hope and encouragement, especially crafted for business owners in this season. Serial entrepreneur and COO of StoneBridge Advisors, Mike Gragg, will pull from the story of Moses to highlight some practical strategies we can apply in overcoming the struggles that collide with us along life's journey.

Please register in advance... Registrants will receive a Zoom link prior to the event. We encourage you to click the link 5-10 minutes before the start time so we can connect with each other as people join the meeting. We will begin the program at 1:00 p.m. sharp to maximize our time together. Please contact [email protected] with any questions. We look forward to "seeing" you on our screens!
