I have always loved to teach using case studies with a visual medium. In early 1964 Marshall McLuhan famous coined the term, “The medium is the message.” Most simply stated, he meant that the way content is delivered affects how it is perceived. We at IBEC Ventures believe that the integration of faith and work is essential; business and mission are not to be considered divided but work together to live and share the “good news”. Real life stories help the learner to “see” a principle in a situation they can identify with and potentially replicate.
Here are some videos to use to introduce ideas and models related to Business as Mission.
