Wharton School of Business professor Zeke Hernandez says that statistically speaking, he shouldn't be where he is today; like the generations who came before him, he should still be living in poverty. But because of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the educational opportunities the gospel teaches us to seek after, Zeke's resume doesn't align with statistical probabilities. On this week's episode, he discusses why he is a believer that we too often place artificial barriers between our personal and professional pursuits. And it is by removing these barriers and approaching big decisions with a holistic perspective that we are able to reach our full potential.

“I think God is willing to guide us as much in our professional endeavors as He is in our gospel or church or family lives.”
