"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.

We don't want to build for identity, but rather from identity. Justin and Jordan discuss the difference between building and creating from a secure sense of self versus frantically creating to establish worth.

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 as I share a simple shift in perspective that will challenge the negative "what ifs" that can dominate our minds. 

Our world has a way of normalizing pessimism and doubt, but what if we chose to see things differently? In this episode, I discuss the subtle yet powerful influence of these negative "what if" questions on our decision-making and overall mindset. We'll look at the importance of seeking wisdom, being thoughtful, and how sometimes we lean too much towards fear rather than wisdom. Whether you're a fellow creative entrepreneur or simply someone looking to strengthen your faith, this conversation will inspire you to reframe your questions and embrace a life of faith and positive possibilities.
