Ascend Men

Sara-Louise Martin (or S-L as she likes to be called) hails from Belfast. Keen to escape Northern Ireland she left to study International Business and Languages at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland before going to work in France, New York and then settling in London for most of the last 16 years.

In March 2020 she co-founded Impact Central (an accelerator programme focused on Impact entrepreneurs) and in Sep 2022 joined Faith Driven Entrepreneur where she's now the Regional Director for operations in Europe, Middle East and North Africa.

In this episode S-L talks about;
  • Being sure our identity in Christ helps us take risks and not see our experiences as failures.
  • Being stewards but not owners of all we have.
  • Not being so caught-up in our jobs that we tip into worship
  • How excellence matters.
  • That while we “impress people with our strengths, we connect through our vulnerability.”

And if you want the free place (normally £49) and standard class rail travel from Cambridge (or an equivalently-priced station) be the FIRST to contact me Alan Colley.

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!

Ascend Men is that community.

Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.

What is Ascend Men?

It's a bunch of men who want to do life together and in doing so, get closer to God, to each other and to those around us. This podcast supports that mission, by inspiring and equipping men to be who God intended them to be.
