On this week’s episode, we discuss a listener’s question on discerning when to persist and when God is closing a door.

 

Persisting without exception means when there isn’t a way, you find a way.

  • The Traveler’s Gift was turned down 51 times before it was finally published.
  • Sometimes all you need is an idea, but you can’t get one if you quit.
  • The quality of your questions determines the quality of your answers.
  • Most people default to 3 main excuses when they hit a wall: money, time, and leadership.

 

God gave you your talents for a reason.

  • When God gives you a vision of how your family is supposed to live, how much money you’re supposed to make, and how much influence you’re supposed to have, He doesn’t change his mind.
  • God doesn’t teach you to swim just to watch you drown.

 

Tune in this week to hear the crazy story of how The Traveler’s Gift finally got published.
