S1E9: Trusting God With the Timing

Business books or the Bible? McClain McKinney asks Adam Weisner where to draw the line, and they land on jazz: learn the standards first, then you earn the right to improvise. Adam on why science keeps catching up with what was already there, and why Jesus is only concerned with the heart behind it. Then Adam's story. He wanted a car for Christmas and opened a box of Tony Robbins tapes. A strong-willed child, a house with no power, and getting saved in October 2000, right before he met Jen. They talk about iron sharpening iron, the loneliness of leading, and what Adam found inside C12. Adam on selling with contentment ("the outcomes didn't determine my output"), why stoicism is about self and contentment is about God, and how to steward a business without panic. Their close: it's hard to trust God with the outcomes. Trusting Him with the timing is harder.
