Pray.com is a social impact company whose mission is to grow faith and cultivate community. Pray.com is the world’s No. 1 app for daily prayer, helping you prioritize prayer with daily devotionals, hear the Bible come to life with original content, and fall asleep to soothing Bedtime Bible stories, elevating the faith experience for consumers, churches, and B2B2C organizations.
I’m excited to have Matthew join me today to share the story behind Pray.com and how he felt the hand of God in his life, prompting him to get together with his co-founders to create something extraordinary. He discusses why and when he felt he should shift his mindset and perspective on how he looked at his life and his work. Matthew also reveals pray.com’s next steps and what they plan to do with the app and website over the next few years.
