Purpose over pride: Why collaboration is crucial for faith-inspired work
Community and unity are, in essence, a part of Christianity’s DNA. So collaborations and partnerships should come at ease for Christians. However, that’s not always the case. Pride can often rear its ugly head, creating strife and tension in areas where unity is desired.
Amy Cedrone and Catherine Gates are no strangers to the Faith Inspired Podcast. They’ve shared their passion for sharing your faith boldly at work and play in episode 56 and their collaboration with the Boldly Conference as two separate organizations. When God told them a permanent partnership was needed through the merger of their two organizations, they knew the first step they needed to take to have peace trump pride each step of the way.
So listen in as Amy and Catherine share their story of combining their two organizations into one, how they have managed to tame the messy parts along with their pride, and how they’ve put unity and shared values first to create a partnership like no other.
