  • Marty Ozinga: Living In Relationship with the Creator of the Universe
    Apr 29 2025

    Are you spending quiet time every day in conversation with God?

    In this episode, Jeff and Marty discuss:

    • Working as a cohesive leadership team.
    • Prayer is a secret sauce for success.
    • Stewarding what God has entrusted to us.
    • Living life to honor your parents and prior generations.

    Key Takeaways:

    • You cannot have enough communication. Communication is at the heart of everything we do in life, business, and ministry.
    • People are ambitious and driven and can handle more responsibility earlier than many think.
    • We can make it through more than we think we can.
    • We need to be generous because it's the right thing to do, not just because it is right for business or looks good or any other reason. It’s about being a blessing to others.

    "It's about helping people whom you know. There's nothing in it for you. It's just a blessing to be generous with people who you will never get anything from. The profound irony there is you actually do get a tremendous amount of blessings, but it's not calculated on a spreadsheet, per se. There's just so much more to the richness of life that comes from it." — Marty Ozinga
