All the panellists shared their success stories with great gratitude and elucidated the students, the road to success. Besides their business stories they even shared how they have built strong Christian families.

One of the panellists, Christy Murphy said, “Don’t worry about having it all figured out, just lean into hearing God’s voice. We don’t follow because we know Him or we know the plan, but we follow because He knows us. He made you exactly how He wanted you to be — totally unique doing something nobody else can do — and He’ll get your attention because He knows you. Don’t be stressed about it, you can’t mess it up.”

The Panel helped the students to have good exposure of the business world and how the domain exactly works. Liberty University took a great step by organizing this event.
