Meet one of our Connect 2026 speakers, Mario Zandstra!

For Mario, faith and work have never been separate categories. As President of Holt Lunsford Commercial, he leads a firm overseeing roughly 100 million square feet of commercial real estate across Texas, building on a career at Transwestern, The Staubach Company, and CBRE. He's also spent 25 years in ministry with organizations like Pine Cove, East-West Ministries, Family Legacy, and Redeemer City to City with Timothy Keller.

We can't wait for him to share his story!

🗓 July 16 at The Mehling Center

🎟 Last day to register is July 9

Pause from scrolling and rest in this truth from Philippians: "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." The unfinished seasons, the unclear next steps, He is not done with you yet.

Remembering this truth from our 2024 Summit keynote speaker, Alan Fadling. Anxiety pulls us out of the present and into a version of the future where God isn't there. But He is.

Check out Alan’s book, "A Non-Anxious Life": https://www.amazon.com/Non-Anxious-Life-Experiencing-Peace-Presence/dp/1514000504/ref=books_amazonstores_desktop_mfs_aufs_ap_sc_dsk_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=CkX3e&content-id=amzn1.sym.9c9a049f-252a-49d9-a8c2-e300a1663200&pf_rd_p=9c9a049f-252a-49d9-a8c2-e300a1663200&pf_rd_r=147-3126090-7404066&pd_rd_wg=30kT5&pd_rd_r=4f0ea36c-f7a3-40d2-95b4-4b57c0d17c51

There's a difference between going to work and going to work with purpose. Most of us know that difference, and we've felt it.

When the people around us feel like more than colleagues, and when what we're doing connects to something bigger than a paycheck or a deadline.

That's what Beyond Business is all about. And this July, we're gathering to remind each other of it together! Proverbs 27:17 says as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. We believe that kind of community belongs in the workplace, too! Connect is July 16th at the Mehling Center. We hope you'll join us!

Pause from scrolling and remember: God is working through your work, in the big things and the mundane things. Nothing you do today is outside of His hands.

Maybe you've heard of Connect by Beyond Business but never been. We’d love to tell you more about it!

It's a morning with a room full of people — executives, business owners, employees, ministry leaders — who are all asking the same question: what does it look like to live out our faith at work?

You'll hear real stories from people doing exactly that right here in East Texas. You'll leave encouraged, connected, and reminded that you're not doing this alone!

Both individual tickets and partnership tables are available, so whether you're coming solo or bringing your whole team, we'd love to have you.

Pause from scrolling and remember: Work was created by God and existed before the fall. God was the first to work and He created us in His image to do the same. He created work and declared it good. That includes the work you're doing today.

Connect by Beyond Business is all about connecting our community with one another and with how faith is being lived out in East Texas businesses. And we can't wait to do it again this July!
