WORKSHOP ABSTRACT:
Don’t Give God Your Leftovers
We read a lot about first fruits in Scripture. From Genesis to the Gospels, the concept of giving our first and our best to God appears again and again. What does this mean to healthcare professionals? We too can follow the principle of giving God our first fruits from day one in our careers, and not just giving him our leftovers. Come hear more about what Scripture teaches about this concept and how it can influence your purpose, direction, and career path.
