I had a unique speaking opportunity today. I put on my coffeehouse hat and addressed a retail summit put on by the Washington DC Economic Partnership. They invited a variety of entrepreneurs to share their start-up story. So I shared about Ebenezers–our coffeehouse on Capitol Hill. Very cool to be able to share not only the story, but the backstory behind the business. I even shared the theology behind our coffeehouse.

Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue. He hung out at wells. Wells were natural gathering places in ancient culture. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells!

I covet these kind of opportunities to glorify God in marketplace environments.
