102: This Top Salesman Took an 86% Pay Cut to Pastor a Church
What would you give up for the work you were made to do?
In this episode, Keith Tyner and Doug Shrieve sit down with Curt Edmondson, pastor of Emerge Church in Fortville, Indiana, who also runs Kona Ice of Indy. Curt traded a sales career for a pulpit and is happier for it.
This episode covers:
• How Curt beat his sales region by $6 million and still got fired
• What he prayed when he could not tell which door to take
• When an 86% pay cut arrived two days before his fourth child
• Where he launched a church with $4,000 in the middle of lockdown
• Why more money would have stopped the whole story
If a job pays but doesn't fit what you want to do, listen for Curt's one-word answer near the end.
