Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

PLUNDERING LEVIATHAN is a podcast devoted to reclaiming the gold of this post-Christian culture for the glory of Christ. ”LEVIATHAN” is biblical icon for the enemy of God (Isaiah 27:1), and ”PLUNDERING” is evocative of God’s people taking the enemy’s gold to build the temple of God (Exodus 3:20-22). Music, politics, social media, art, sex, coffee, beards, recreational drugs, books, travel, tattoos, sports (and all the rest) is cultural gold that exists for the glory of King Jesus (Colossians 1:16). The enemy has been bound (Revelation 20:1-3), and now the church is called to plunder his house (Mark 3:27). Let’s go!
