How are you abiding in Christ and seeking God in business and life?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Randy discuss:

• Following through on what you start.
• Being intentional about your faith in business.
• Ministering to your employees and your clients.
• Let God show you your priorities.

Key Takeaways:

• Discover how God has made you. The more you can cooperate and develop that, the more the magic will happen.
• There is power in giving people a hand up, not just a handout.
• Consider tithing your time - designate some of your hours as intentional time with God or with the ministry for His Kingdom.
• God’s calling and God’s timing are often different.

"If you're sensing God's calling you to something, listen to that and start pursuing that, start preparing for that. Ensure it’s from God and that He wants you to do that, and what your role is, then what the timing is." — Randy Price

About Randy Price: Randy and Susan Price opened Right at Home in March of 2009 after they saw the fast-growing care needs of seniors in Northeast Texas. Having a father who had Lewy Body dementia (an ugly combination of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases), Randy is even more passionate about caring for the patients and the caregivers.

Before opening Right at Home, Randy and Susan served for 2 years as missionaries in Mexico. Previous to that, Randy worked in leadership roles in manufacturing for 17 years. Randy has a BA in Economics with a secondary emphasis in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin.

After years of prayer, counsel & thought, Randy decided to establish Community for Hope (https://communityforhope.net/testimonials/) to more effectively minister to his 400+ employees across 10+ offices in East Texas.

Randy and Susan have been married for 39 years and have seven children, six in-laws, and nine grandchildren! Randy and Susan are very involved and actively serve at Sylvania church in Tyler, Texas.

What steps can you take now to start moving in the right direction of what matters most?

In this episode, Jeff and Nick discuss:

• Trying new, difficult things and bringing value in all areas of business.
• The power of one-on-one conversations and asking “why”.
• Praying for guidance and strength in hard times.
• Picturing your perfect life and taking steps to meet those goals.

Key Takeaways:

• When all you do is worry, you’re not present.
• Let people know what you do, then put it in God’s hands.
• People of all ages can pour into one another, just as 30-year-olds can learn from 60-year-olds, the reverse is also true.
• Write out the things in your life that are valuable. Then write down what is priceless. Compare those lists, and talk about them with someone you love. How are you spending your day reflecting on those things?

"You can’t sell coaching to somebody. Coaching only works if somebody realizes they have a gap between where they are and where they want to be, and they have a burning desire to do something about it." — Niko Lorentzatos

• Halftime by Bob Buford: https://halftime.org/books/

About Niko Lorentzatos: Niko Lorentzatos spent his career in the energy industry, most recently as a public company executive, lawyer, and director. His day-to-day focus was helping solve business problems, but it was the one-on-one discussions with colleagues and friends who wanted to talk about deeper issues or who needed help, whether personal or professional, that were most fulfilling. During a conversation about purpose and faith, a colleague recommended the book Halftime. Years later, when Niko left the company after a merger, another colleague mentioned the Halftime Fellows program.

Halftime and the Fellows Program had a profound effect on Niko. He learned that his passion and purpose lie in helping others find and live out God’s calling in their lives. He now serves as a Certified Halftime Coach and also mentors professionals and social entrepreneurs.

Niko and his wife, Jenny, have been married for 23 years and have two adult children, Luke and Rebecca. Niko serves on the Boards of the HAY Center Foundation, which assists youth in Harris County as they age out of the foster system, and the Houston Area Parkinson Society, which provides programs, support, and services free of charge. He also serves on the Parish Council of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Houston, Texas.

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.
