TGC 236 — What I Wish I Knew: Lessons From Getting an MBA
There are often ties made between the business world and the church. Some of them are more helpful than others. Some of them are more appropriate than others. In this episode, I asked Bart Day (the president and CEO of Lutheran Church Extension Fund) about what he learned by completing a Master of Business Administration from Washington University and what he wish he had known from that program as a newly minted pastor. What can we actually learn from the business world that helps in our work in the church?
