#380: Brent Beshore – Finding God

Brent Beshore is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Permanent Equity, a Midwestern-based private equity firm.

One part of his Twitter bio intrigued me: "Former atheist who now follows Jesus."

And in this conversation, we explored why he initially rejected God, his turning point, and where to start with the Bible.

Brent's challenge: Take Jesus seriously.
