Scott Pyle is a successful businessman and entrepreneur. He is the founder and CFO of Pyle Financial Services. Scott and his wife have invested in their communities and abroad. Together they helped build the Dream Medical Center, one of Rwanda’s biggest and most well-respected medical centers. 

Despite growing up in the church, Scott didn’t find salvation until well into adulthood. God used a near-death experience to speak to his chore of him, inspiring a complete, radical change. It was truly a Saul to Paul-transformation. 

He woke up forever changed and passionate about God.

Trisha Aumann joins us again to to share beautiful, inspiring stories of how she’s been able to share God’s love in the most natural ways.

You want to hear Part 1 before jumping into Part 2 but we're excited to continue sharing stories from Trisha! Trisha grew up in a family that was deeply rooted in faith. Her mother lived her faith very openly with her kids and didn’t shy away from answering her kid’s many questions about God. At age four, Trisha’s mother walked her through receiving salvation. 

In 2021, Trisha opened Farm and Thread, a clothing and decor boutique. A year later, she opened their first brick-and-mortar location in Minnesota. When they opened their storefront, she and her husband prayed over the building, asking God to use their business to minister to others. They wanted their business to be used by Holy Spirit, but they had yet to learn it would happen so fast or be so simple.
