Great words from our phenomenal guest and retired PGA Tour Pro, Wally Armstrong, who joined Jim, along with local CBMC Chair, Mark Graham, for a chat on ministry on the golf course. It was a great hour filled with laughs, testimony, heartfelt conversation and some pretty neat golf tips 🙂

Christian Business Men’s Connection (CBMC) is a fantastic ministry that is located in 360 cities around the world.  Local chapters of CBMC provide leadership institutes, forums, and roundtables for men who are CEOs, GMs, entrepreneurs, and business professionals to help them become the marketplace leaders that God wants them to be.

I know, I know, that all sounds great, but what does that have to do with golf? 

Well – it can be hard to invite a coworker or employee to go to church… but what if you invited them to go hear a pro-golfer speak? That’s exactly what CBMC did! Wally Armstrong is not only a retired pro-golfer but also a speaker, author, and incredible evangelist. Tune in to hear more about Wally’s personal story and how he ties the gospel to golf in his new book, The Mulligan.
