You're in a great spot.
I'm not like super zoomed in.
I don't know if we're live, but if you will, if you are there, it's good to see
you, but I'm pretty sure we're live right now, so it's good to see you guys.
Um, what is happening?
Welcome to session numero uno, uh, for the foundational
keys to exponential growth.
This is an amazing moment.
Um, we've been stoked to get to this place.
Um, and for those of you who are in New Zealand or on that side of the
world, this is August one.
This is the beginning of August.
We're still in the U S um, which means that it's still July 31st and the
sun is still shining in July 31st.
So just give us a comment, um, in the chat where you're from.
Be great to know where you're from.
For those of you who don't know us yet, although you may already start to get
to know us a little bit after being in this group for a little while, there's
a lot, there's a lot guys and there's a lot.
Um, I am Sebastian, um, or sib.
Some people call me sib.
Um, and this is Claire and we are married.
I've got, there's my ring and Claire show us yours.
Yep.
Very nice.
We are married.
We love each other.
We go together and, um, we are the directors of the school of social media
and that is in partnership with raising royalty.
Um, and who is raising royalty is led by Benji Alexander, who you will
meet, um, later on this week.
You've seen some of his content.
You've probably heard a lot about Benji or heard some of his process
that's got you into this group.
And our heart really in launching this challenge over the next week is to
really deep dive with you guys, really add as much value as we can so that we
can get you your first leads, your first dollars in this business to
really launch you into success.
Okay.
There's so much to know so much to learn in the social media marketing space,
but there's a ton, there's an absolute ton.
And so what we really want to do is get into the foundations of, of who
we are, why we're doing this.
We're going to lay a foundation this week.
Um, and the next week we're going to start 21 days, uh, to kingdom impact
and wow, that's a lot to say.
21 days challenge to kingdom impact and income.
Okay.
That's a mouthful, but it's going to be amazing.
So 21 days to kingdom impact and income.
We're going to be launching that in a week from today, um, to really go 21
deep days of intentional life with, excuse me, with each other, um, working
towards hitting some of our goals.
Okay.
Now, as we jump in, it's going to be really important to, to, to know a
number of things about us, to know a number of things about our culture,
number of things about why we've achieved the success that we've achieved and why
we've pursued the adventure that we've been on.
Okay.
So, um, I'm going to share a couple of key things to that, just like caveats
for you guys, for you understand why we are qualified to be able to be
having this conversation.
Okay.
Um, but before I do that, I want to hand you to Claire, who's amazing.
She's gonna, um, introduce herself a little bit and share a bit about
what's on her heart and go from there.
Yeah, we are really excited to do this challenge with you all.
Um, it really has been set up to serve you for exponential growth.
Like Seb was talking about, we really believe that, um, some of the 12 habits
that we're going to share with you, um, to be a part of this 21 day challenge
that really, as we engage, you know, in the natural with some of the things, as
we get things stirring, then it really allows the Holy spirit to come into our
life and partner with us to show us our strengths, to show us the places where
there's a need for growth.
Um, and, and then we can really start to see the places that he shines the
light on, know which way to go.
Um, what area needs the most work?
What area is he speaking to us in?
Um, and I love this as a life coach, as somebody who loves to see people get
results, have, has seen that in my own life.
Um, I love just getting into the nitty gritty of life of really just getting
in there and saying, where are we?
If you were to look at a map, where do we start?
Find the part, find the, you know, the dot on the map.
Where are you?
It doesn't matter where you are in the process.
It doesn't matter where you're starting.
It doesn't matter how far off course you feel like you are.
The most important thing I think that some of this challenge is going to help
us just kind of look at where we're at, where we're at in our life, where we
want to be, and then allow the Holy Spirit to really come in and the tools
and the things that we're teaching and really help you get the mind.
Sets skill sets and systems that you need to really see your dreams be fulfilled in your life
So I feel like there's gonna be a lot of really practical stuff
alongside the spiritual with the
Mindsets and the things that are needed so that those two can really come together and serve you
So we're so excited to see the breakthrough that we know that you're gonna get we've experienced it and we're in it with you
We're in this process with you
We've experienced a lot of the breakthrough, but we also are very much in our own space moving on to the next level
So yeah, just so you know, we're with you. We're in this we're on the journey and we are excited
For everyone that's here. It's awesome. Well, let me give you some context
Let me give you some just some clarifying things that I want you to know about us in our culture
And why why we're stepping in like this. This is not your normal school of social media marketing there
you'll hear a lot of spiritual language a lot of spiritual conversation because we believe that there's a there's a true when you get really
Aligned and connected with your with yourself and God vertically the way it manifests in the horizontal areas of your life
Are impacted so it's a kingdom impact and income happens through realizing first and foremost
That it's the Lord who gives you the ability to produce wealth and true to run me 818
When and specifically the whole chapter 8 of Deuteronomy God is speaking to the Israelites who are about to cross over
Into the promised land in a few months. There's any saying to them like hey guys when you get into the promised land
You're gonna prosper things are gonna happen. You're gonna have this ability to produce wealth
You're you're you're your shirts are gonna start wearing out your your feet your sandals on your feet are gonna start wearing out
But you're gonna have the ability to produce wealth when you get the promised land
Remember it is me who's given you that ability because I was the one who took you from the wilderness season of lack and
impoverishments and poverty into the
Favored place of the promised land. We were at a conference a couple years ago
It was Heidi Baker was at the conference and those of you who don't know
She's a missionary full of power and fire and surrender is one of her core messages
But she she was at this conference and we were encountering the Lord
We're on the floor being prayed for very powerful time of encounter and she comes around she's praying for people
She lays her hands on both of us and says the hungry will always be fed
The hungry will always be fed and it's pretty pretty amazing thing. That's really marked us
Not just in the area of ministry or the area of our personalized or our faith or the way we interact with things
But specifically in business because here's the reality when you step into business your core motivation is to
Add value to somebody else's life that if you really want if you want to impact millions of people
You're gonna have to have millions of dollars in order to impact millions of people
The opposite is also true
If you want to make millions of dollars, you're gonna have to impact millions to be able to get there
Okay, now there's systems and structures there's
Mindsets and skill sets all in there that we're gonna help equip you to get to but here's here's the reality over the last 18 months
to two and a half years
We have built between Claire and I we've built
Over seven different brands and two of them have gone on to be high impact
seven figure businesses
Across that period of time. Okay, so there's there's a lot of
Information a lot of knowledge that we've gained over that time a lot of infrastructures that we've been a part of building and these these
organizations have ranged from the nonprofit space to houses of prayer and worship to
to affiliate marketing businesses to
Digital development businesses apps different things like that. And so this this whole scale and whole gambit of
Digital social and media marketing that has been a part of our lives for the last
significant period of time and as a result and if you want to
Tip tear it all pair it all back
It happened from that moment that we were on the floor with Heidi Baker and in this conference
We were in this moment things started to shift and change the way we were moving the trajectory of our life
Changed where we started to just be in the smallness of what can commonly be
Christian ministry just just ministering to one person to another person to another person as opposed to getting this
Extravagant view of what would it look like to impact nations full of people, you know
Five million people in New Zealand and the grand scheme of things that's like that's a lot of people
But it's not a whole ton of people America. There's over
330 million people in America, okay
So there's over 5 million people just in the state of Alabama, okay, that's one state out
of 50 states that are in America for impact and glory.
In China, in India, there's over a billion people in each of those two nations, okay.
So when you start to think about the impact of impacting nations and cities and towns
and regions, like it's going to take money, it's going to take money to change the way
we think about homelessness, the way we think about culture, what's happening with children,
all the political things that are going on around the world, it's going to take money
to shift culture.
And so we've been birthed, it's been a birthing process for us to really get to the reality
of the fact that like if you really want to make an impact, there's so many tools that
are available to us to intrinsically add value to people's lives.
And one of the biggest ones is branding through social media, okay, because it speaks, it
tells a story.
Every brand that you create tells a story about who you are, what you are engaging with,
how you engage with life, the storyline of impact, and that whole internal process is
a huge foundation for the extravagance that God is wanting to release on the earth.
God is going to work through people, he's also going to work through organizations,
and the organizations and the people have to have a clear understanding of their branding,
their messaging, their foundations, the way they believe, what they believe, there has
to be an alignment between belief and systems and impact and brand, there has to be an alignment
otherwise the impact isn't there.
And that all comes from this birthing place of realizing that if you're willing to add
value to the hungry people, they'll always be fed.
That's the core, that's the crux of business, that's the crux of life, adding value and
feeding the hungry spiritually, emotionally, physically, all the, financially, and information
and knowledge and resource and anointing and teaching, this is the process of adding value
in the kingdom.
And so, there's a little bit of context, I know, Claire, you had some things you wanted
to add to that.
Yeah, I just think on, you know, the note of talking about process, it really is, you
know, the main thing that we've seen in our own lives is really where we've been willing
to enter a spiritual process and that is so key and I know, I love what Benji's been talking
about recently and if you've seen some of his posts, you know, he's really been sharing
about having like the healthiest disciples that we've ever seen, you know, healthy in
every area of our life, just marked by physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially, like
all of these things that we're actually called to have health in all of these areas and I
think, you know, there's outward work to be done and a lot of this challenge is going
to be, you know, doing some habit work on things, the way we spend our time, how we
do things, which is also spiritual work.
But I think behind the scenes of all of that, you know, we can take the best tips from anybody
in the world, but at the end of the day, you know, in this group, in this group of people
that we're drawn together, we're drawn together because it's going to happen by his spirit,
you know, and we have to partner with it.
We have to be the conduits, we have to, you know, be the ones that the Holy Spirit can
work through and be teachable and be movable by him, but I think, you know, one of my favorite
books that I just can't get away from in this season, the Lord has just continued to bring
it back to me and it's something I've read forever ago, is Hinds Feet for High Places.
I don't know if you've ever read that book.
It's a classic.
Probably a lot of you have.
If you haven't, I highly recommend it, and I just can't ever get away from it.
You know, there's just things that the Lord continues to take you back to because we just
never graduate from these places in our life, and I love Heidi Baker.
She has a book called Birthing the Miraculous as well that has been another book like that,
that just, you know, it's like a handbook of the faith.
It's like if you can, you know, next to the Bible almost, they're the kind of books that
I just keep reading because it's like they just have something in them that I need, and
the main thing I would say is about process, is being willing to enter this spiritual process,
this no-holds-bar kind of a thing, like you're all in.
You've like left the shore.
You've given, fully convicted, fully given over, and there's something of that process,
and so I think as we invite you into this, it's kind of with that mindset of, you know,
asking the questions that I've asked on there, you know, we had all these questions, if you've
gone through them and answered them, that are already in the group, you know, what is
it worth to you?
What is it going to cost?
What is, you know, the questions that we're answering?
And so I feel like, you know, we've had this spiritual process that a lot of the time looked
very messy.
You know, it didn't look good on the outside.
It kind of looked like going backwards in life a lot of the time.
And it was this trust process of saying,
God, wherever you go, that's where I'm going.
And if you say that this is the way,
even if it looks like in Hinds Feet for High Places,
if you've ever read it, she's going to the high places.
But for a lot of the books,
she's being led away from the high places and she has to trust.
And so I feel like, you know, a lot of what we're asking is like,
let's do the hard work in the natural that it takes for excellence to come forth from our lives.
But then there's also the spiritual component of the ways of the Lord are not our ways.
And that's a huge part of how I feel like we ended up where we are,
where we've seen the exponential growth that we've seen on our life is so much a spiritual process.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, everything comes from God.
All things unto him are him.
You know, there's no separation anymore.
And, you know, I think something that is really probably key,
and especially that Claire's kind of highlighting on,
there's no separation between you and God.
And it's any kind of separation that you feel is a total lie.
It's not from God.
All separation from God is a lie.
And the reality is, you're going to get to start to experience that in business
as you're intentional with going on this process,
with understanding that we're really in the process of yielding to the truth,
that there is no separation between you and God.
And there is also no sacred secular divide.
There's no divide between what is holy and what is not holy
with the way that you live your life as you step into culture, right?
You doing business is a perfect answer to the answering the call of God on your life
for expansion, for growth, for maturity,
and for realizing that the goodness of God manifested in the land of the living
is going to happen through finance.
It's going to happen through the way you run your business.
It's going to happen through the culture that you engage with.
It's going to happen through the intentionality that manifests through you
as things start to cross over into all of your life.
And so I want to make sure that you guys are getting it.
Just leave in the comments if this is helpful so far.
We want to make sure that you just give us a thumbs up.
Hey, that's awesome.
You know, we're probably a little bit of preachers and teachers at heart.
So we just need a little bit of audience feedback that you're here, you're alive,
you're getting it.
We really do just feel the grace to really deep dive into these foundations
over the next few days.
And here's what's going to happen.
I want to give you a nugget and then I want to tell you what's going to happen
over the next few days.
But here's the thing that I want to leave with you today.
The conversation about business in the kingdom is how much value can you add
to a person's life?
Every product with raising royalty is about adding value to kingdom people's lives
so that we can fulfill the call of God in our lives to disciple the nations
through fulfilled dreams, okay?
We believe at the core of our being that if we can disciple, that part of what it
looks like to disciple the nations is to raise up a band of people whose dreams
are being fulfilled.
It actually is dreams fulfilled that even disciples nations.
And that's a wild thought.
So part of what you're dreaming right now in the back of your mind kind of mulling
over, questioning whether this is even right to believe or wrong to believe,
ask God for.
Those are the dreams that God wants to use to grow you forth, to expand you forth,
to exponentially grow you in the process of growth.
And so there's a lot to talk about.
But you guys are going to get a fire hose over the next week.
You're going to get even the 21 days that follow.
You're going to get a really strong fire hose of anointing, of grace,
of empowerment, of key resources.
We're going to deep dive into all the funnels.
We're going to dive into the content.
We're going to dive into declarations.
We're going to dive into so much.
But there's, I think you have something.
Yeah, I just wanted to share about in the process of talking about jumping into,
you know, business or whatever it is, and the fact that there's no sacred
secular divide, there's this quote that I really love by Henry David Thoreau.
And it says, what you get by achieving your goals is not as important as...
what you become by achieving your goals.
And I think one of the things we've really found
is that when we give ourselves to something,
so whether that's a business or whatever it is
that you step out and you commit yourself to fully,
God uses that to shape us into who we're created to be.
It's so much less about the business
or the money or the other things,
that as it is, he's shaping us into who we're created to be,
and those are all tools, they're all pieces,
they're all things, and so true discipleship
has to have an outlet to it.
So that's something that we've really loved
to see the Lord really put together in our life
is we love ministry, we love loving on people,
praying for people, seeing miracles,
but we've had so much fun with the Lord
stepping into business and stepping into this realm
more than we maybe thought that we ever could maybe
in this space.
Because of that, it's like there's such a joy
in partnering with the Holy Spirit in this place
and how he shapes you,
and that it really is about your dreams and desires.
He's forming you into somebody that, it's fun.
It's like you find out things about yourself
that you never knew, oh my gosh, I love this,
and I really enjoy doing this,
and then I get to impact other people by doing it.
I mean, it just feels way too good to be true.
There's so many beautiful facets
to entering the call of the Lord,
to enter the marketplace or whatever he's asking
of each of us, but it's really a personal journey
to become who we're really created to be.
Totally.
Well, guys, we've been 20 minutes,
and we wanna keep these sessions nice and short
to really focus in on what's next.
But here's kind of your next steps
for the rest of this week, okay?
We're gonna do another session tomorrow,
and deep dive into, it'll probably be me
going through some of the funnels,
helping you understand and navigate
the system that you have access to,
which is a wild system.
It's a wild opportunity,
and if you can learn how to leverage it,
you will change your entire life, okay?
So it's pretty amazing.
We want to deep dive with you, explain it,
show you some of the key things that work,
some of the things that, some tips and tricks on that.
So we'll do that tomorrow,
and then the day after that,
we're gonna have Benji doing a session,
then he's gonna do another session after that,
deep diving into more foundations for growth,
for assistance, for scalability.
He's gonna deep dive into declarations
and how to frame the way that you're engaging.
It's gonna be a huge gift for you,
huge tool for you guys to really understand
where we're going, why we're doing it,
what the way we're doing it is,
and how to really start to engage with
the fruit of life moving abundantly in your life,
the spirit of life, the spirit of wealth,
the spirit of goodness, the mercy of God,
the engaging spiritual realities of life
into your business, into your purpose,
into your engaging parts of your life.
So that's what's gonna happen over the next few days,
and then the day after Benji's second session,
we're going to book a team call
where we'd love to have all of you
jump in together, we'll do a Q&A,
and just ask some questions before we jump into
21 Days to Kingdom Impact and Income,
that I keep messing up saying that,
21 Days to Kingdom Impact and Income.
We'll be starting the day after that,
probably on the 8th of August,
for those of you in New Zealand,
it'll be the 7th in the U.S.,
and we can jump in and go from there,
which is pretty exciting.
So, Claire, anything else before we close out
today's session?
Yeah, I would just challenge everybody
to start thinking, start dreaming
with the Holy Spirit, start just thinking
about what do you want to get out of this,
what do you want to accomplish by the end of this,
and just start dreaming about it,
and focusing on it, because really
what we give ourselves to,
we get to start seeing manifest in our lives.
So, start getting excited about it,
I know that we are, and we are very much
looking forward to seeing you again,
and starting to hear some testimonies.
Come on.
All right, well, God bless you guys,
may peace be with you, may goodness be with you,
and we will see you tomorrow,
we will confirm the time as soon as possible,
exactly when that's gonna be,
and go from there.
Massive love to you guys,
and have an amazing, amazing rest of your day.
