When I spoke about church-related activities, I was careful to avoid preaching and politics. I offered to pray for people if they shared a concern with me. Sometimes I felt like I was holding back, leaving me feeling insincere.

I hope that how I conducted my professional life aligned with the faith-filled personality I chose to share.
