Bill Bright: Surrendering Everything

After watching the video, reflect on these questions:

1. Dr. Bright talks about the importance of his view of God. How does your view of God influence how you handle your money?

2. Have you ever thought of signing a contract with God? What would be the benefits and pitfalls of such an action? What might your contract include?

3. When talking about giving away his retirement, Dr. Bright said, "We were listening, and God said..." What does listening for God's voice look like in your life? How might you further practice this discipline?

4. Dr. Bright suggests that the vision for Campus Crusade for Christ would not have come about were it not for their unconditional surrender. What might you be missing by not surrendering fully to Christ?

In 1951, Bill and Vonette Bright, founders of Campus Crusade for Christ, signed a contract with God to surrender everything to Him. The Brights share what their commitment has meant for them; the pouring out of their lives in ministry to the King, trusting Him to provide for their needs.
