Even though Facing the Giants and Fireproof have become household names, don’t forget about Flywheel. The former two are amazing Christian films that are having a huge impact on the world and the Body of Christ. The latter is my favorite of the three. Maybe it spoke to me, being a small business owner who has tried to have a semi partnership with the Lord. Sure I acknowledge him and sure I’ve run an ethical business, but has he been my partner?
The answer for me until the last few months was no. He was an adviser at times, or a board member I flew in 4 times per year for a quick consult. He was who I went to when I got in a jam. Did I bring him in as a full blown partner? Not until recently. After reading the biography of R.G LeTourneau I realized that I must turn it over to him. I must go where he takes me and my motives need to be as pure as those of Jesus.
If you haven’t seen Flywheel yet, then rent it or I’d recommend buying it as you’ll want to watch it a few times. It is a truly powerful picture of what God can do with a business owner who lets him steer the ship.
