As I look back on the semester and think about how much we have learned and brainstormed, I am amazed at all the creativity in our class. I feel overwhelmed and blessed to be made in the image of God, and am so thankful for how He has given us the amazing gift of innovation. I have been so inspired by each one of the students in this class and feel deeply honored to have bounced ideas off of you all. I loved learning about new companies and how it is possible to have a successful Gospel-minded company. I think it is so incredible that the same God that designed the universe decided that it needed each one of us, and that each of us should also have a little piece of Himself. The creator placed Himself into His creations, and in turn gave us the same life-altering power. This ability separates us from all the other creatures in the world and is begging for us to take advantage of it. It is so vital to continue creating in His name; I truly believe it is what binds our souls with His.

I cannot wait to find and support new redemptive businesses and potentially start my own. I am so blown away by the talent, drive, and resilience of the entrepreneurs that spoke to us and the potential I see in our own classroom. I greatly look forward to praying with and for you all as you grow in Christ and in the world, in whatever career or path God plans for you. May we never stop creating or grow used to the awe of the every day life. Resist the urge to remain stagnant. Let your voice be heard and let your words radiate life. I just want to keep encouraging you all to never stop pursing your relationship with Christ, for it will influence every other relationship in your life. Strive to further the Kingdom in your work, and love everyone along the way.

  • Thanks so much for this encouragement Janae! What struck me was "resist the urge to remain stagnant." It's not good enough to coast. We must constantly improve and grow. Stagnancy is a sign of complacency, and God expects His people to be better than complacent. He wants us to work unto Him, so let's do that.
