Extreme team building exercise… and took home 3rd place!

Had a ton of fun at the Rampy MS Research Foundation Tri Fest for MS participating in the Relay Sprint Triathlon. It was a toasty 101°F but we did it!

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.”

We call them “goodmakers”.

Becky Shaffer, Kent Shaffer, Wendi Seidel and the incredible team at Saving Grace NWA are crazy-awesome-goodmakers who see things differently and don’t settle for the nonprofit status quo of scarcity.

Instead they remind us all that through big faith, daring dreams, and generous collaboration we are better together
- and can actually change the world.

“Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Thank you Becky Smith Shaffer and Saving Grace NWA team!

So thankful we get to do what we do. ❤️

Today our Branches Mission Lab & goodmakerU teams took headshots and team photos, hit golf balls at Top Golf, and went through the “5 Voices” assessment with a little help from our friend Joshua Foliart.

As our team grows, we are spending more time protecting and investing in our culture and people.

The assessment provided a helpful look at the way each of us show up and relate to the world.

The time at Top Golf gave us a chance to watch Luke Ezell absolutely smash balls like a pro while the rest of us just tried to hit the ball.
😂

Can’t wait to see and share the team photos and gifs that will follow!😅

🥺Gosh we love reading these. Thanks Kathy!
