August 15, 2025 042 Why You’re Not Seeing Answers to Prayer (Try This Instead)
"Pray specific prayers and you will get specific answers." This profound statement from George Mueller, a 19th-century pastor who documented over 50,000 answered prayers, has become a transformative principle for my family's faith journey.

This isn't about treating God like a cosmic vending machine. Scripture provides clear parameters. The goal isn't selfish gain but stewardship that honors God while building faith.

July 17, 2025 038 The Film That Almost Broke Me
Faith isn't a feeling; it's the courage to move when everything around you suggests standing still.
After stepping away from a full-time worship leader position six years ago, my wife and I embarked on what would become the most challenging and faith-stretching season of our lives: creating three feature films in three years.
What followed was a masterclass in holding onto faith when provision seems delayed.
This experience fundamentally reshaped my understanding of divine provision. Heaven doesn't always meet you before you step out, and sometimes the miracle comes after you've already jumped.
For every entrepreneur and creative: What dream has God placed in your heart that seems too big? What one small step could you take today?
SPECIAL INVITATION
Join me for a special online vision night July 28th, where I’ll share exciting new developments and opportunities. RSVP at justinrizzo.com/invite to receive the link.
