This week I had a conversation with a friend and former colleague. He asked what I am doing, and I told him about the two ventures that I'm participating in right now. With regard to one of them, he asked me, "How did you decide to do this?"
In that moment I became aware that I was both reticent and excited to tell him the truth. The motive for this particular venture is to manifest the Good News of God to the neighborhood. I was tempted to tell him all the other (good) reasons that we had chosen that particular venture, and leave out the one that wouldn't matter to him.
As these thoughts raced through my head, I also realized that this is the very reason that I am involved in entrepreneurship: so that I can confess the Good News of Christ to people who otherwise would never ask, and so that this Good News is manifest in deed and word.
I have a lot to learn about answering that question well - in a way that gladly confesses Christ's redemption and provokes more questions about His Good News. I'm excited to practice, and to see the Holy Spirit use our confession to bring new life.

Yes, I have noticed the same tendency in myself. I do something which I feel is prompted by God, which expresses God-centered values but, when asked, I will give people the me-centered reason for it.
