Discussion summary & scripture references
A faith project is when God instructs us to go after something we currently don’t have the resources to achieve. For example, buying equipment, leasing office space, or hosting a global conference when you don’t have the money. God gives believers, who have entrepreneurial callings, projects like this all the time. Listen to this replay from our live Faith-Discussion to learn a bible-based approach to thinking through and achieving the faith project God has asked you to undertake.

[29] That no flesh should glory in his presence.
