​We recently gathered a group of local small business owners to have a difficult conversation: Is your business a Lifestyle Business (it only works because you do), or is it focused on Value Creation (it has an impact that outlives your daily effort)? ​It feels like there’s a common fear that choosing "Value" means losing the "Lifestyle." ​But what if the opposite is true? ​At Thrivent, we believe that when the community engages in these meaningful conversations, we aren't just "networking"—we are equipping each other to enhance the Kingdom. When your business creates true value, it serves your family, your employees, and your faith more effectively.
