📌 ERP Quest Update: The Treasury Trials
Hear ye, hear ye. A great labor is now underway in the realm of ERP Quest, for the Finance guild has entered one of its busiest and most important trials. As the road to the October 5 go-live draws near, the team has begun testing the new system to ensure it is strong, reliable, and fit for the way Merrell Bros. does business.
Leading this noble charge is Jonathan Eller, who this week has been studying the training scrolls, learning the ways of the new system, and preparing to guide the testing ahead. Beginning next week, he will spend full days within IFS, validating finance processes and helping secure a smooth go-live for Finance while laying the groundwork for the company-wide rollout in March 2027. Every process tested and every scenario proven brings the kingdom one step closer to victory.

🎧 Solid Start Podcast | Weekly Devotional
Overview: In this week’s episode of Solid Start, Greg and Brian discuss the “3 Keys” of a Great Marriage: Control, Consideration, and Commitment.
This week’s challenge is to focus on Control (Psalm 127:1). What could happen in our lives and marriages if we surrendered our TIME, TALENTS, and TREASURES to God and allowed Him to build the foundation of our homes?
What are you still trying to control that God is asking you to surrender?
