Summary
What does it look like to bring hope and life to those who are seeking home ownership? In this episode, we hear about a company and an individual who is doing just that - Stephen Phelan, Chief Pastoral Officer at Movement Mortgage. Movement Mortgage is not only addressing system issues in the mortgage lending space but it's also taking an innovative approach to culture-building and employee care.
Highlights
On home ownership:
"[home ownership] can create wealth for generations to come. So I think [mortgage lending] is dripping with sacredness and it's dripping with God moments that are possible. What a privilege it is to be able to settle people in homes for generational wealth..."
On working excellently:
"Whatever you do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord. Whatever you do, do with excellence."
On loving our neighbor:
"Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as you love yourself... So our neighbors are our teammates, and it starts with them."
