I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. (1 Corinthians 3:6)

— Bible

Reflection

After countless hours of deep conversations with entrepreneurs, I've noticed a common theme: we all feel the weight of the work we believe we've been called to do. Building companies, leading teams, providing for our families, and trying to make a meaningful difference. It's good work, but it can be exhausting when we start believing the outcomes depend entirely on us. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 11 that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. A yoke is made for work. He's not asking us to stop working, but inviting us to work differently. We've each been entrusted with fields to tend, and we're called to cultivate them diligently. But no matter how hard we work, we can't control the harvest or how many people our crops will feed. Our responsibility is to faithfully steward what God has entrusted to us while trusting Him with the yeild. We can surrender self-reliance without surrendering ambition.

Looking forward,
