I haven't posted here in a really long time because I've been hard at work on tumblon. However, I think this is probably still the ideal context to reflect on gospel entrepreneurship, however fitfully.
In working on tumblon, I came to this realization: I yearn for the day when we measure our economy not by the goods it produces, but by the good it does. Then, and only then, will "growth" find its rightful place in economics.

i love that line Graham--the good it does. Wonderful.
Nice perspective. I do think that we can have that "hope" for the future - but in the present, our ability to change culture by making culture is at the core of the "gospel entrepreneurship" I am thinking about.
The two measures don't have to be mutually exclusive. And a 100% overlap doesn't have to occur for a final a heavenly state.
Social entrepreneurship has gained traction in our North American economy. It's amazing how now environmental considerations are playing a role in the most minute daily decisions for the average consumer. And perhaps we are on the crest of faith and work colliding - no more the Sunday Christian. No more of the sit and soak model (....all that did was get you soaked and soggy, right?!)
I agree, Kenny, and believe that the hope embodied by the cultural goods we create function as a sign, instrument [really changing things] and foretaste of the Kingdom of God.
