Stop building for God and start building with God.
You weren't called to simply build a successful business. You were called to become the leader God can entrust with greater influence.
“Thou Shall Grow is God's call to raise up marketplace leaders. James reminds us that God prepares leaders before expanding their influence.”

What it is
Faith and business were never meant to be two calendars.
God is always doing two works at the same time. The visible work changes your circumstances. The invisible work changes you. Most leaders stall because they are measuring only the first, and mistake a season of preparation for a season of failure.
In Thou Shall Grow, Growth Leadership Coach James M. Barthel dismantles the false divide between church and business and gives faith-driven leaders a proven path forward.
