Playing Your Part, Decisiveness, and Trusting God's Vision ft. Bruce Ackerman - #498

YIELD Today With Dallin Candland

Bruce Ackerman helped me get a job at MyComputerCareer shortly after I got back from my two-year mission trip. He's done copywriting, marketing, and all kinds of other things for MyComputerCareer since their early days.
Today we talked about that, how God has blessed his path, and his thoughts on trusting God's plan. Sometimes we do need to just really put ourselves out there - so we can better learn how TRULY there God always is for us.
This was recorded back in May 2024.
