Are you using prayer to build your relationship with God and surrender to Him in business and life?

In this episode, Jeff and Gary discuss:

Using prayer as personal time with your Father in Heaven.
Surrendering your all to God.
Seeking the mysteries of God’s will.
Using business as a movement and a mission.

Key Takeaways:

When you don’t know what’s going to happen, pray.
God is in control. He knows the hairs on your head, He knows the circumstances of your life. He shows up in unusual ways.
Adoption is a reasonable small investment up front to change a life.
If you want to experience God, see where He’s moving and join in that movement.

"Begin with the end in mind, think what you want to do, write it down, and have some people hold you accountable to that." — Gary Ringger
