Summary

Today, I’m joined by Alex Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hallow app. Alex shares how his deep desire to encounter Christ in daily prayer—guided by the wisdom of the mystics—led him to create the app, despite skepticism from others. He takes us through the highs and lows of building Hallow, including the secret to raising over $100 million. Alex also shares powerful testimonies, from a grieving mother finding comfort through the app to an addicted mom reuniting with her child and husband. He even dives into the bold decision to use precious Super Bowl airtime to invite people to prayer. Alex’s radical surrender to God’s will and his passion for spreading the Gospel have borne incredible fruit—his story is one we can all be inspired by.
