'WHY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS?' – A Talk w. guest Erik Smith

'WHY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS?' – A Talk w. guest Erik Smith

Coming to you for the last time from the Fight Laugh Feast conference in Oct 2022 .

This time I had a chance to sit down with my former General Manager Erik Smith. We worked together at Verizon in Louisville selling phones during seminary. He now works for another company, but is a great resource for showing how the Christian can and should act in the business world.

Dime Payments is his company now and they help churches, businesses and others who need to process money in one way or another.
