Sometimes, all it takes is one book to prompt a person to rethink his priorities, search for something more meaningful, and figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. It happened to Mario Zandstra, our guest in today’s episode. A book compelled Mario to rewrite his life story arc and create a new vision for living the second half of his life at its most rewarding - leading ministries to success.
Transitioning from a career in business to leading a ministry dedicated to serving others and God has been most rewarding for Mario Zandstra, president and CEO of Family Legacy. Mario shares his journey of leading various ministries to achieve their goals and more.
