ABW 39 - Heaven on Earth in Business (Replay)

[Note: This episode originally aired 2 weeks ago, but because the testimonies so perfectly capture the essence of A Better Way, I decided to replay it now that many of you have just opted in this week.] Join Ryan in this episode of "A Better Way" as he interviews Blake Schallenberg from CoLabor Ministries about bringing Heaven to earth in and through business. Starting in 2009, seeing the desperation many business owners were experiencing during the Great Recession, Blake and others in his ministry expectantly prayed for businesses to experience breakthrough. Setting aside their own human thoughts and expectations, they simply asked the Holy Spirit what to pray for and listened to what He said. What resulted is beyond comprehension. There are so many testimonies I can’t possibly roll it all up here, but are a few  highlights from several different businesses: -A museum exhibit company that went from zero sales to 400% of average annual revenue within 90 days of receiving prayer, releasing the owner to sell the business at peak revenue and follow his dream of being a full-time pastor. -Within 1 year of praying forgiveness over former employees who had stolen from them, a staffing business owner had a 970% revenue increase and placed 1600 jobs, 54% of which went to people with criminal backgrounds. They have now placed 10 times more jobs for former criminals than any of the city’s social services agencies. -By praying and living from Heaven’s value system, Blake’s company has a closure rate 3x higher than their industry’s average, receive 98% of clients by referral, and 2.2x the industry average for revenue per client There are numerous other examples of terminal conditions healed; lifelong dreams realized; families and businesses restored; miraculous transformation of individuals, employees, companies, and communities.
