I’ve thrown a lot of stones at this point.
But it’s not to be controversial, that’s not my style.
I speak from experience.
My wife and I had been doing Ministry work for 17 years.
We eventually began running an all girls home.
These girls had been abused, neglected and in some cases trafficked.
So as you can imagine, it was extremely exhausting and stressful.
Even though I was only earning $50,000 a year as a CEO, I was ok with it. I loved helping them get back on their feet.
But eventually, I felt like my call to build the Kingdom was elsewhere.
Of course I wanted to keep helping lost children in need.
As long as I’m still here on His earth, I will continue to do so.
But with only $50,000 a year and my own family to feed.
I simply didn’t have the resources to make an impact outside of my ministry.
So after 2 and a half years of stomach ulcers and high blood pressure. We decided to step away from full-time ministry work entirely.
Not because we were done with it.
But because I realized if I wanted to reach more people, and make a BIGGER impact on the Kingdom…
I needed to take on greater stewardship & responsibility.
I needed the resources to build His kingdom on a much greater scale.
Now, I knew people were doing all sorts of crazy stuff on the internet.
But I was skeptical of how many of these things would actually let me combine my faith with my call to the marketplace.
So, I started buying courses that sounded like what I wanted.
I’d buy one…
Implement everything they said.
No results.
Buy another…
Implement everything they said.
No results.
And the only one that ever looked promising…
Clearly required me to put my faith and values aside in order to get anywhere. Not my style.
I did that 6 times…
