If you have decided to nudge your business in the direction of becoming a Kingdom business, you’ll need to build these three practices into your business routines.
You have a business, or you are responsible for a major portion of one, and you are becoming convinced that it can be more than just a money-making effort — that it has potential to have a spiritual impact.?

Here are three essentials you’ll need to help you in the process. You’ll need to build these into your organization and your personal routines in order to increase the likelihood of success.

There are a number of books, blog posts and videos that can get you started and help you focus on this. Here’s a few to get you started:
