Episode 372 - Your Industry is Broken. Are You Called to Fix It? | Zachary Levi

About this episode

Zachary Levi discusses the inspiring true story of Sarah Rector and the importance of faith in entrepreneurship.

Zachary Levi didn't just star in a movie about a 10-year-old girl who prayed over her land and struck oil—he produced it. Sarah's Oil is the untold true story of Sarah Rector, a young Black girl in early 1900s Tulsa whose childlike faith turned 160 acres into the largest pure oil reserve in North America. It's the kind of story Zachary has spent his career searching for: true, excellent, redemptive—and never preachy.
