APPLY WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED

Memorize

Proverbs 31:16-18

She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.

Act Differently

  • Sit down with another faith driven real estate investor to brainstorm new ways you can uniquely live out your faith in Christ as a real estate investor. Pray and reflect on what steps the Lord may be leading you to take.
