Pete Chambers: Intentionality and Integration

Generous Business Owner

Is it possible to be a great Christian, a loving husband, and do really well in the marketplace?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Pete discuss:

• The ups and downs of faith after growing up in church.
• Understanding wealth and keeping your kids' feet on the ground.
• Pleasing the Lord in all you do.
• Avoiding complacency

Key Takeaways:

• Looking successful because of your dad, does not lead to happiness.
• Find a reason to tell your son they don’t need to prove anything and that you are proud of them.
• Intentionality is the only way to make it work - there is no easy road.
• There are 31 Proverbs - if you don’t know where to start in the Bible, start on the current day in Proverbs.
• It is never too late to make peace with those in your life.

"Life balance is not the key. Intentionality and integration are the keys. The only way you can get good at saying no is to know what you’re saying yes to." — Pete Chambers
