How are you using the closed doors of life to take hold of His opportunities and blessings for you? 

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Alan, and Ben discuss: 

• Finding the blessings in the closed doors of life. 
• Intentionality in every aspect of life and business. 
• Modeling servant leadership in your organization to unlock divine potential. 
• Living adventurous stewardship. 
• Living an intentional and integrated life in His image.

Key Takeaways: 

• Mentors and relationships are built in regular times and come to life during the struggles. 
• There is value in learning from those who came before us
• People don’t make decisions by watching others make decisions, but rather by actually making the decisions themselves. 
• Focus on gratitude. It will tear down fear and allow you to reset the day and set it up for success and joy. 

"When you pour into the way God uniquely made you, and then you look around and see how you come alongside the people that we have an influence on with a heart of gratitude, that unlocks an untapped set of hidden value and helps people live out who God made them to be." —  Ben Fischer
