Let's gather for some faithful conversation about the unique challenges and opportunities of being in this position - and how to find hope and encouragement to serve God, and our students, well!

You are a unique brand of person, willing to hear "no" more times each day than most people can handle in a lifetime. You also have a crucial position in any company -- driving revenue and making sure money is coming in! It can be a chore at times, at the grind can wear you down.
Let's get together and talk a bit about what we love about this job, how our faith influences what and how we do it, and why we choose this job over any others. Maybe we can even help each other learn something new and find some support in our work!
