Rob Allin is a new presenter on the Ascend Podcast and based on how well he did on this one, you'll want him to come back to do more!
Today he kicks-off our Entrepreneurs season by interviewing Peter Heslam.
As Director of Faith in Business, Peter's focus is on the moral and spiritual dimensions of entrepreneurial business and their role in business performance and human development. He is particularly interested in the social impact of Christianity and entrepreneurship when they converge. Which makes him an ideal guest to open-up this season on Entrepreneurs
Using the first few chapters of Genesis, Peter talks about God's inherent creativity and appetite. Being made in His image we too we can all be creative. However we are not all called to be entrepreneurs - some are quite happy having a job rather than running a business.
Hear about how faith-filled entrepreneurs have the advantage of the Holy Spirit to help build the Spirit of Enterprise. And how Christ-centred entrepreneurs will naturally be seeking to demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit, being love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness & self-control.
He talks about the difference between "success" and "significance" including some of the potential metrics that go with that. And also what we as friends / family / fellow congregation members / church leaders can do to encourage our entrepreneurial brothers and sisters.

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Ascend Men is that community.
Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
