Nothing But a Sling and a Stone (Mine Your Business Series)

All of us have a unique gift or calling—our own sling and stone—that God has placed in our hands to fulfill a divine purpose. Pastor Lee Jenkins uses the story of David and Goliath to reveal powerful business and life principles, encouraging listeners to embrace their God-given talents, take risks in faith, and view their work as a spiritual assignment. This message is a call to uncover what God has already placed within us to impact the world around us.
