Quotes and statements within the interview:

"And so it's been an interesting journey as an adult learning to articulate that inner tapestry that I've woven together all these years."

"But in all honesty, I wasn't seeing a lot of connection between what I was praying and what was going on in my life."

"So it was an act of faith that was rather disconnected from my real-life world as a part."

"It's a conversational relationship with my Father who knows everything, holds everything, cares about everything, and loves me. And that perspective, really coming to grips with that, transformed my prayer life."

"Nobody should be brave enough to parent without God."

"And if I don't have a good pipeline to the CEO of His business, how can I expect to perform faithfully as His employee and His steward?"

"Any new thing that we're really serious about life, we want to train for, we don't want to try to do."

"Make me the kind of person you want me to be."

"I see now this great participation and partnership that He and I have in the world with my life that He's given me to steward."

"But people who are called to be in business actually are not able or called to spend hours and hours and hours on their knees in prayer."

"God has to keep me on a short leash I think to make sure I stay close by."

"All my doing went away, and He loved me for who I was, just for who I was when I did nothing."

"When you realize He's all you have, He's really all you need."

"But most of my life I've found I need to live a little open-handedly."

"He is God, and I am not!"

"And so it's been a precious journey to realize the more inadequate I am, the better news that is because it's just more room for Him to work."

"And that's what I would love for this book to be apart of doing is equipping all of us entrepreneurs who tend to be independent and somewhat isolated, to have prayer as our basic operating system so that our public face to the world can be one that truly represents Christ well."

What has prayer been the strength in your story?

Great hope

"Through prayer, He is kind of opening those invisible things to me eyesight to see where He really is redeeming and restoring the things that have been lost."

"And no matter how it looks, I have great hope for the future."
