Growing up in the church in West Virginia, faith is always there. It's part of the fabric of the culture.

To get where you want to go, you first have to become who God wants you to be.

God has an extraordinary destiny in mind for you, as he does for all of us. God will never bring you an opportunity before you're ready to make the most of it, and the career world demands that you prove yourself. So, before you can lead, you have to serve. Service often has a negative connotation. We want to be the one at the top, calling the shots, making the decisions, and getting the glory.

Keeping your family together is an extraordinary feat - especially in the face of great conflict.

Prayer is important. It's the cornerstone of our relationship with God, our private time with the creator. In addition to that, preparing and taking action is as important as praying. Preparation is for our benefit and edification. Preparation is also bold faith in action. You pray because you believe God is going to do what you've prayed for. But we have to put in the work and prepare so that when the harvest comes, we're ready!

Someone says, 'oh, you know what? I'm going to give you a shot to see what you can do', and you've been praying for a promotion, now someone gives you an opportunity, that's a miracle.

Trust the gifts that God has placed within you.
