Summary
In this episode, Garrett discusses the importance of recognizing whether our actions and endeavors are of man or of God. He reads from Acts 5, where Peter is confronted by the Pharisees for preaching the gospel. A Pharisee named Gamaliel advises the Pharisees to leave the apostles alone, stating that if their work is of man, it will fail, but if it is of God, it cannot be stopped. Garrett applies this lesson to real estate agents facing challenges in their business, reminding them that if their work is aligned with God's purpose, it will succeed.
Takeaways
If our actions and endeavors are aligned with God's purpose, they cannot fail.
Seek to be excellent in what you are doing, whether it is of man or of God.
