The Business Series seminars for Freedom Encounters can be given to either Christian or secular business groups. They are identical seminars, but the Scriptures are read during the seminars for Christian organizations or business firms. Scriptures are quoted in a "revised version" with secular groups so that no truths are eliminated or watered down. Many of these seminars take advantage of Ken Thornberg's 15 years as Executive Director of a Better Business Bureau.

All seminars stress biblical foundations that have such relevancy to everyday business decisions. Requested minimum honorariums would be negotiable. If the sponsor of a seminar prefers a workshop format, please add 1/3 to the time allotment for roundtable discussions, question and answer sessions, etc.
