Benham Brothers vs PrayMore

Join thousands of others across the globe who are a part of the Benham brothers weekly Bible study where they dive into what God's Word says about work, business, leadership, relationships, and money. Oh, and they talk a lot about culture too! Twin brothers David and Jason are former professional baseball players, nationally acclaimed entrepreneurs, and best-selling authors. Their rise to success came with their first company, which grew to 100 offices in 35 states, and catapulted them onto the national stage. They topped charts like, Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing Companies, Franchise 500’s Top New Franchises, Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Finalists, Wall Street Journal’s Top Five Real Estate Agents in America list, and the US Chamber of Commerce’s Top Small Business of the Year. At the height of their business, at the age of 33, they had a choice to retire to the easy life or re-tire and stay on the road to impact. They chose the latter and launched several initiatives from pro-life ministry and orphan care to cultural engagement and marriage ministry, all funded from the profits of their businesses. In 2010, the brothers and a small group of partners built a self-sustaining revenue model for overseas missions, called “missioneering.” Their first venture was a business that launched in Southeast Asia which grew to over 1,000 employees and has kicked off other businesses and ministry programs throughout the region—all sustained from the revenue of the company. Their success eventually landed them a straight to series reality show with HGTV in 2014, yet the show was abruptly cancelled when activist groups pressured the network to fire them because of their commitment to biblical values. The boys walked away and said, “If our faith cost us a reality show, then so be it.” Appearing on FOX Business, ABC’s Nightline, CNN, FOX News, and Good Morning America the brothers encouraged people to stand for what they believe, whatever the cost. As a result, the brothers launched the I WILL STAND STRONG initiative with a ministry partner to inspire and equip young people around the nation to stand strong for their faith, like the prophet Daniel, in the midst of a morally declining culture. Since that time David and Jason have started dozens of businesses, written several books, and launched an online coaching series called Expert Ownership, where they train people how to serve God and thrive in business without gaining it all and missing the mark. Their focus is global impact for God’s glory! The brothers and are happily married and live on the same street in Charlotte, NC, with their combined nine children. And they love to help kingdom-minded entrepreneurs and leaders thrive in every area of life.

PrayMore is a Christian prayer app and platform for sharing prayer requests with your church, small groups, keeping a personal prayer journal, doing prayer challenges, and remembering to pray throughout your day. We exist to help you, your church, Bible study, or small group pray more, so that you can spend more of your life experiencing “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Phil 4:7). → PRAYER JOURNAL PrayMore lets group your personal prayers in sections, update entries easily, and use the Immersive mode to see one request at a time with a peaceful background you choose. → PRAYER REMINDERS No matter how stressed we get as demands flood into our lives, we simply forget to pray. A core feature in PrayMore is the ability to set customized reminders to pray throughout the day. These two app features for private prayer are free forever! But there is so much more blessing when we share our needs, our thankfulness, and we pray for each other. → SHARE PRAYERS As the classic hymn says, “Oh, what peace we often forfeit, and oh, what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer.” Sometimes it feels too hard to pray for yourself. Not so for the believers in your life who love you! Ask them to take your unsolved needs to God in prayer! Our team is so convinced of this that we put the sharing of prayer requests at the very heart of PrayMore. It’s easy to pick a small group you belong to and share your burdens with those you trust, knowing they’ll be reminded to pray for you. → PRAYER CHALLENGES Challenges are guided prayer times that help you to pray with scripture, music, and devotionals. → PERSONAL CONNECTIONS When you share a prayer, choose to let people text, call, or email you to let you know they are praying and to encourage you. Unlike social media, you won’t be tempted to focus on how many likes or comments you get compared to someone else. Instead, you’ll get personal encouragement and connection from the people who really care and are praying for you. People tell us constantly about the impact this has on their lives! → PRAY MORE BIBLICALLY Even Christians who love the Bible often fall into prayer ruts. So, we provide free Learning to Pray plans in PrayMore that teach us how to pray using scriptures. These vary from 15-day gospel-focused lists for those new to prayer and faith, to biblical prayers by topic, and how to pray using the ACTS acrostic (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication). PrayMore also gives people the opportunity to include a verse with every request or praise they share.
