In this episode Virginia Beach native Leon Zook reflects on a lifetime of moves, ministry and business — from dairy farming and owning a cabinet shop to founding Mountainside and investing real estate for kingdom work. He shares how reading Proverbs changed his business approach, the challenges of church transitions, and practical principles for generosity and stewardship.
He also discusses his involvement with State College and Peaceful Meadows Discipleship Camp, care for family, health struggles, and the conviction to use resources to serve the church and community rather than personal luxury.
