Along the way, they reflect on how creativity often comes through quiet moments with God, dreams, and what they describe as “divine downloads.” They also share candidly about seasons of loss, financial hardship, and the difficult lessons that shaped their faith and leadership. This is Part 1 of the conversation, exploring how God can use marketplace leaders, innovation, and even life’s toughest seasons to accomplish His purposes.
