We recently hosted a local networking event. One of our guests stopped me and shared how encouraged they were by our networking because it gave them an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with like-minded business leaders.
According to our guest, many networking events feel shallow and function mainly to sell products or services. Our networking events tend to create some business opportunities, but many conversations result in discussions about ministry or faith efforts as well.
Networking is valuable. But many times real and authentic conversations are the ones that bear fruit.
Matthew 6:33 teaches, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
When possible, turn your networking opportunities towards God's agenda. You will likely discover more meaning and purpose.
