We recently featured a less than inspiring profile of a seemingly money-grubbing pastor (See our post entitled “Dollar-A Good Name For This Guy”.). For balance, I bring you now a more heartwarming tale of a man who had risen to the top of the financial world, then stepped down from his post to pursue ministry.
“When Danny Ludeman announced in 2013 that he was stepping down as head of Wells Fargo Advisors at age 56, he said it was because he felt a calling from God to help more people.” (From the www.bizjournal article linked below).
He enrolled in seminary and began looking for ways to put his expertise to use for God. He has since founded the Concordance Academy of Leadership in St Louis, MO. He is dedicating his current efforts to tackling the problem of crime and imprisonment. Specifically, he is focusing on reducing the rates of ex-convicts returning to prison.
We wish him well. You may read more about his efforts in the following links:
