Imagine your life, a year from now, two years from now, ten years from now, uninhibited, free, all while fulfilling God’s purpose for your life.

What If I told you the journey to that far off dream starts with one simple word, YES. Giving God your YES today can be the launchpad for an incredible transformation in your life that will change the world around you.

Because that’s my story and the story of Maralee Gazelka, who had the pleasure of interviewing for the podcast this week.

122 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Practically Partnering with God Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

One of the greatest revelations the Lord has ever shown me is that we are not designed to just wait on Him to move and do everything for us.

In reality, He designed us all as His sons and daughters to walk WITH Him in this great adventure called the Kingdom of God.

But this leaves us with a really good question and that is “how do you practically partner with God in your life as an artist in His Kingdom?”

Well, I’m going to tackle that topic in today’s episode of 5-Minute Mentoring.
