Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we are live.
Seb, if you wanna just check the text,
see if you can find us there.
Check in, check in, check in.
Yeah, we're live, rock and roll.
All right, hey, wonderful, everyone, welcome.
This is day two of the summit.
I'm still burning from yesterday
and especially Nick's session last night on radical love.
Man, just had me blazing all night long.
And it is such an honor for us to be here
with David and Katie Hughes,
which is gonna be such a treat and a blessing for you guys.
I know you're gonna absolutely love who they are
and what they carry.
And Seb, how are you feeling
after a massive day yesterday?
I feel awesome.
I just, I feel fire and that's just been,
like yesterday was amazing.
You know, you sit in sometimes for a conference
and you're like, okay, you know,
preparing myself, ready to go.
But I'm just buzzing.
I feel like every session's been awesome
and I've just got a very high expectation
for the rest of the next two days.
So I'm pumped.
It's great to be here.
Cool guys.
Well, Dave and Katie are an absolute force
for love in the earth.
And you guys are gonna love just connecting with them more
and hearing their stories.
So guys, how are you doing this morning?
Better than ever.
Thank you for having us.
We're so happy to be here.
Benji and Sebastian, thank you for putting this together
and we're just thrilled to be a part of it.
Yes.
Fantastic.
So you guys are in New Mexico right now.
You don't live there, but you're in New Mexico.
What are you doing there?
We are.
We actually had never even been
to this beautiful state before.
And sight unseen, we purchased a 40 acre ranch
with seven amazing, unique cabins that were hand-built.
We actually partnered with a student of ours
in our real estate investing,
simplified investing family, and they live out here.
And so they just put this incredible proposal together
and we jumped in on it with them.
And so we actually got to see the ranch
for the first time out on this trip
and got to stay out on the ranch
and put logs in the wood burning fire in the stove.
It was such a blast.
And we actually got to do some skiing out here as well.
Nice.
It's an incredible time out here together.
Oh, that sounds glorious.
Hey, well, that would be great to have you guys
pray for us in a moment.
Good morning, good morning.
I see our crew jumping on.
Say hi.
Yes, lots of people saying hi to David and Katie.
So what a delight to be with you guys this morning.
And yes, great to have our crew saying hi.
Good morning, everyone.
Welcome back to day two.
This is gonna be a very, very exciting day.
And yeah, we would just love you guys
to pray for us to open up this session
and we are excited for what's to come.
Yes.
Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit,
we thank you and praise you for this time
and space and place just to come together
and just to share everything that you've poured
into each of us to pour out to each other.
Lord, so just have your way, Lord.
We're just willing and available vessels.
So you come and just Holy Spirit speak,
say and do what you wanna say,
how you wanna say it to all of our hearts, minds and lives
to further transform and multiply
all of our hearts, minds and lives.
Every listener that you pierce and penetrate
to the depths of their being,
the bedrock of their being,
their soul and body, soul and spirit
and their hearts and minds, Lord,
to illuminate, Lord, and just accelerate them forward
into the limitless freedom and abundance
that you have available and prepared, Lord,
for every single person.
In Jesus' name, have your way.
We praise you and thank you.
Hallelujah, amen.
Amen.
Guys, that word limitless was such a theme yesterday
of what God's doing in people,
like in our hearts and our lives and our mindsets.
It feels like God's just taking us
into the mind of Christ
in dimensions that we hadn't ever considered
were available, were possible.
And it's like this whole, just peeling back,
like Romans 12, two is, it's like,
you know, repentance kind of, when I grew up,
kind of like, it sounded like a boring word.
Oh, repentance, well, more of this type of stuff,
but repentance as in like renewing our mind,
stepping into the limitlessness of the mind of Christ
feels like the greatest adventure we could be on right now.
What are you guys seeing in that space
of like just the renewed mind,
like God taking away limits, opening up dreams?
What's happening in that space for you guys?
Well, it's so incredible.
that you mention the limitlessness of God,
because he has spoken to me throughout so many years
that he is unboxable.
He was never meant to be contained.
He created so much more than we can ever even fathom.
There are still elements of the body
that cannot be fathomed,
much less everything in the universe.
And he just doesn't want us to live a boxed life.
He doesn't want our minds to be boxed in,
and he certainly doesn't want us to box him in.
And so, you know, as we take these leaps of faith,
and as we spend that one-on-one precious,
intimate time with the Lord,
he reveals more and more and more depths of himself,
just like that radiant, gorgeous diamond
that has a million different facets
from every different angle.
As we take that diamond and hold it up to different areas,
we then see even more stratospheres.
You know, you put a beautiful blue behind it,
you put beautiful pink,
you look at the sun through a diamond,
you just see every different dimension.
And it's like the deeper that we get in him,
the more we realize how much we need to know.
And it gives us such a hunger
to go even deeper and deeper and deeper.
And it's like, the deeper we get,
the more we realize that we have so much deeper to go,
and it makes us want more and more and more of him.
And it truly is all about his mind.
That's why Jesus died,
to give us the incredible, perfect mind of Christ.
And every single morning,
every single moment of every day,
we can lay our minds aside
and we can take on the mind of Christ,
and we can literally live
in that radical, limitless fashion.
And Sebastian, I love that you said
that you have your expectations so high
for the next two days,
because David and I say all the time,
whoever we're talking to,
whoever we're pouring into or receiving from,
it's not about, you know,
just don't have any expectations,
set your expectation low so that you're not disappointed.
We're like, no, that is not what God says.
He wants your expectation to be higher
than it ever has been before.
It's the expectation of our faith
that he moves mountains and does miracles in our lives.
And so if we're walking around on these streets
of this earth with low expectation,
low hope, low faith,
he can't do anything.
I mean, you think about Jesus and the disciples,
there were different towns
where literally the son of God,
I have chills all over my body,
like the creator of the universe,
the creator of each and every one of us
could not do miracles in certain places
because of the lack of faith.
The lack of faith equals lack of expectation.
And so abundant faith means
that we have our expectations set so high
because it's not about any of us.
It's all about him.
And he can do any and everything that he chooses to do.
Yes, with him, this is impossible,
but with God, all things are possible.
And so when we set our expectation way up to where he is,
we are sitting in heavenly places right now with Christ.
We're sitting with that hope anchor,
right there, we're seated.
And so that's where our expectation needs to be.
Our expectation, every moment of every day,
every area of our lives needs to be seated
at the right hand of the father,
right there with Jesus Christ.
Baby, that's 100% right on.
And he even said, it's wrong.
It's completely unnecessary and even wrong
for us to live limited lives
because we're supposed to be representing him,
yet most people are living life lives with limits.
So living a limited life,
we're supposed to be living a limitless life.
This isn't our opinion or theology or beliefs.
This is what he said, what he lived
and what he tells us.
He said, all these things,
you shall and should do an even greater than these things.
And so we're supposed to be living the heaven on earth life.
We're supposed to be living the limitless life, right?
And it even says, nothing will be impossible to the one,
to he who, what, believes.
So we're all there with belief.
And really it's about,
we're supposed to be living a heaven on earth life.
That's how people get to encounter God,
get to see who he is through the lives of us
that he created, right?
And so, yeah, so powerful, baby.
That is such fire, I love it.
Oh my gosh, I love it so much.
And I mean, one of our conversations
that we're having at the moment
is around discipling nations.
And I just, it's like,
what you're just talking about there
is just so much fire and goodness and hope
because, you know, the great commission,
go therefore and make disciples,
not in all nations, but of all nations
and not of some, of all nations.
nations. Here's his expectation, right? His hope is that we're
going to win. His hope is that every single nation on the face
of the earth is going to mirror heaven precisely and exactly and
that the earth is going to become a mirror reflection of
heaven. And that's his hope, his expectation. In the mind of
Christ, the more we align with the mind of Christ, the more his
hope fully possesses us. And so I'm just loving what you're
saying. And I've got this one verse that like, that helps
anchor my hope in the fact that we win in the process of
discipling nations, despite chaos and everything happening.
I just want to read this one verse that has got so much like
it captures the place where the mind of Christ is anchored in
hope for our future. So it's Daniel 727. It says then the
sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms and the
heaven will be given to the holy people of the most high, his
kingdom will last forever, and all rulers will serve or will
worship and obey him. And I'm like, well, God is giving us the
nations at Psalm 2, ask of me and I'll give you the nations as
an inheritance. I mean, it is happening. And I just think that
what you're talking about is so glorious and such an abundant
and much higher dimension that you can live from where your
hope is aligned with his hope and the expectation it produces
is an explosion, but I'm just burning up listening to you.
Well, it's amazing already just how clear God is speaking
because as I was listening to you share their Benji, right
after we finished up what flashed in my mind was Daniel
that was the next thing I was going to bring up here and then
here you go reading Daniel. So God speaks clearly it's just a
matter of who's listening and tuning up to him tuning into
him because he's always speaking wisdom cries out all day every
day from the corners in the marketplace in the street
corners every day all day he's speaking. So anybody who thinks
you're not hearing him or you never heard him or whatever.
It's just about get it stop. Stop and get still and quiet and
look to him seek him ask him to help you get ears to hear eyes
to see him because he's speaking all day every day to those who
are listening and wanting to hear what he has to say the
voice of wisdom is spirit of truth. I mean, that's only God
that right here after we're talking he flashes Daniel to me
and I was the next thing I was going to share was Daniel and
then here you go talking about reading from Daniel we couldn't
make this stuff up as God speaking clearly on confirming
and what I was going to say about Daniel what God just
flashed was in the world like you said to disciple nations
well if people don't know God and they're not in relationship
with God how are we going to we meet them where they're at we
give them what they want God's the master fisherman right and
so we're supposed to model his mastery in the fisherman
department of life. What does that mean the hook the hook is
baited with what the world wants masters of marketing business
sales growing companies finances health relationships these
things right and that's what Jesus did he showed up he sunk
their boats with fish he blew their business records but then
he said drop that I got something way better than this
even though this was the greatest day you've ever seen an
experience that's a droplet compared to what you're going to
see an experience moving forward with me and that's how it is all
the time with him and so again Daniel what I was going to say
about Daniel is like he was excellent and he had wisdom and
so he had favor with God and man even people who did not know
God why because he was able to give them results results that
they could not get in their life and their business and
their politics and their government and their yes and
their kingdom that they could not get why because he was God's
man and God said I'm going to place you positionally
strategically to utilize you as my vessels my conduit as my
child to do these things so so you know that's that's a big
part of it for us in the marketplace we own multiple
companies and so it's you know ministry people are really
getting a redefinition redefining of what ministry
getting back to the basis of what ministry really is and
should look like and function as in real life day to day
yeah oh man that is just so good see if I think you were
spinning on something you were curious about yeah yeah just you
know I've been just thinking this whole time you know there's
a the most offensive thing about for some people about what we're
talking about is really that you know you can have what you
believe if your expectation is like as as wherever your
expectation is is what you're going to receive and so that
that partnership and that that tangible engagement with
reality inside what what
is doing it is is so so key for for what we're doing what we're talking about this you know
even when you bring it back to to where we're going the um what you believe you can have access
to you will um which is is so um it can be offensive for people and i'm sure you know you
guys with you um the school that you're running the the lifestyle that you leave i i'm i'm sure
you you run into that a little bit um and how do you how do you process that with people help
help us unpack that a little bit you know what is what does that look like for helping coach
people along the journey of of of going on that journey to to to think differently to to engage
higher what does that what does that look like for you well that's a great question sebastian
i'm glad you brought this up and and really this might be hard for people to admit or maybe they
don't want to hear it but from our experience in life we've observed a lot of people who do not got
do not have a personal relationship with god they don't know god but they're living out the principles
of god far better and far more excellently and reaping the benefits than most people who
actually have experienced god actually know god in a personal relationship um in terms of
principles in real life in business in health in relationships in you know multiplying fruitfulness
and effectiveness in life i mean but so again it goes back to the core of you know what god showed
me i mean you all look at one of the best sellers it was like a documentary and book and all that
the secret right people talk about you what you think about you bring about and it's true right
the law of attraction is true god created it's a law so whether you know god or not in relation
you can you can exercise these principles and processes and these laws and benefit by reaping
the abundance the prosperity in all areas of your life um of overflow right uh financially um in in
relationships and business these different things so but what god told me was that people that just
they they've taken the prince out of the principle so here's the thing of what good is it
what profit is it to gain the whole world and lose your own soul so here's the thing
if you have all the prosperity financially physically you know uh relation all these
things but yet lose your soul eternally and you're not in personal relationship with the one who
made you the one who made everything and the one who decides where you go forever after the short
vapors like it's over so that's he told me that that's the that's the problem with just
principles without the prince right the prince of peace so so it's it's in that order and in that
flow and so that's what we help people through our coaching and our companies of first renewing
the mind and i think today we're going to talk about you know an investor mindset what is that
how do you get it how do you live from that place of having an investor perspective and mentality
and mindset because that's god's mentality that's his perspective we'll talk about that
um which is everything to us it's the answer of life is everything in all areas of life
and the key for us really helping people is shifting their perspective and their belief
system maybe that they've held their entire lives maybe it's a generational belief system that you
know their parents parents parents have passed down but just because it's a generational mindset
doesn't mean that it comes from the mind of christ and so helping people understand that you have got
to shift your mindset if if you don't change your mindset you know your mind can absolutely
run wild and all kinds of things can come into our minds and and we are to be stewards and
shepherds of what we're listening to what we're watching what we're allowing to permeate our
spirits because as a person think it so are they so whatever it is that we're thinking about truly
becomes who we are and then out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks and so you know
somebody may say oh the law of attraction that's new age well that's interesting because i can
point out a million scriptures to you that the lord is talking about literally the power of the
of the tongue life and death are in the power of the tongue all of these things and so as we think
we are and so what are we thinking about and how are we thinking and so it really is all about
taking people from where they are what they're thinking about what they believe about the world
what they believe about god what they believe about money and investing and teaching them that
it's all about that perspective shift and so when that happens the people who are willing to make
those perspective shifts they're the ones who experience the abundant life and the ones who
are just stuck in religiosity or they're stuck in well this is always the way that it's always been
done so this is how i'm gonna do it and this is how i'm gonna teach my children you know they stay
in the wilderness and the thing is it's not about freedom because the israelites died in freedom
they were in freedom land right wandered around in freedom bill and died there never moving into
the abundance they're supposed to be living in exactly so that's what that shift of mindset is
all about it's the difference between the two generations you know you have moses's generation
and then you have joshua and caleb's generation and you think about it it was a total shift
in mindset and the ones who had the proper vision that was given by God and they had the faith to
go along with it were actually the ones that stepped into the promise. That's everything.
Man, that's so good. So for you guys, I just want to ask this question here.
How much influence has an investor's or an investing mindset had on your life? Maybe
paint a picture for us of where you are versus where you would be if you didn't have an investor's
mindset. Man, it's everything. We actually, we rarely do this, but we made notes. We prepared
for this session in notes form for you when you mentioned we're going to be talking about this
because we, you know, so there are some key things we want to share about that,
but it's everything. In short answer, it's literally everything. If we would not have
chosen to learn and transform and continue to our whole life to gain more of an investor
perspective and mindset, like none of this fruitfulness, effectiveness that would be
happening, we wouldn't have any of these companies. Number one, we wouldn't even have them.
If we did have them, they would be floundering, flopping around, struggling. They'd be limited.
They wouldn't be growing, multiplying, flourishing, impact people's lives all over the world and all
that, right? And so that's the short answer. And one of my favorite quotes says that
learners will inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with
a world that no longer exists. So it's about that childlike. So good. Yeah. Let that sink in. Say it
again. Wow. Learners, learners, that's perpetual, ongoing hunger learning. Blessed are the hungry.
They shall be filled. Filled with what? All good things. Spiritually, naturally, wisdom, knowledge,
insight, strategies. So it's all about hunger, but that comes from a childlike perspective of
knowing that I don't know what I need to know to go from where I'm at to where I need to go.
So it's an ongoing, perpetual, repentant heart that's hungry for correction and instruction,
which leads to perpetual liberation and abundance. And so that's literally the answer,
but that's a perspective and we get to choose. And what we say is your personal perspective,
everyone listening to this right now, all of us today, your personal perspective is either
paralyzing you, keeping you stuck, living in a limited life is either paralyzing you,
postponing you. So maybe you're having some forward traction and growth, but there's a
lot of drag and weight and slow growth. It's not accelerated. So your personal perspective
is either paralyzing you from your purpose and your greatest purpose, your dream life,
the greatest, highest desires and purposes God has for you. It's either paralyzing you,
postponing you or propelling you forward into all that God has for you, your wildest dreams and
beyond. So, and I think the biggest, the biggest thing, you know, when you were asking like,
where, where were we? And then with the investor mindset shift, you know,
got us to where we are now. And David and I were both savers, you know, in our families,
like we were savers, like save the money and then, you know, the buy something that was really
special. But the thing is the biggest shift that has happened for me becoming an investor, having
that true investor mindset, everything shifted for me when I understood the value of my time
and the time that God has given me, because he knows the timeline of every single one of us.
Since the beginning of time, he has known each and every one of our destined time for us to be here.
And time is the one thing that we can't reverse, that we can't save up, that we can't hold onto.
And so, you know, we, we need to look at every area of our lives, first and foremost,
our relationship with God, you know, giving him the best of our time, giving him the first
fruit of everything that we're doing. It's all about that, investing the time. And so, you know,
I, just to give you a quick example, I was the one that would drive across town to save 10 cents on
gas when it took me, you know, say 45 minutes extra and the gas money to actually get to the
far gas station and come back because I just wanted to be a good steward of, of the resources
God had given me without realizing that the absolute greatest resource that he could ever
give me is my time. And I was actually using that in an improper way. And when I realized that
everything completely shifted for me and it's been really one of the biggest keys in,
in our success. Yeah. And in terms of investor mindset, what is that and how do you get it? I
mean, it's, it all starts and stays at the core of like Katie Marie's saying of spending time
with our maker because we need to have the mind of our maker. His ways are so.
far higher, so far better than anything we can ever think of or strategize.
And so when we spend time with him, just like if you spend time with anyone,
you catch it's contagious, their mindset, their thought processes,
their patterns, the way of their perspectives of seeing things the way they.
So when you spend time with him, you get more of his mind and less of your own,
which creates the abundant life. It can't create anything else. That's all he,
everywhere he went, abundance was breaking out in all areas.
Well, let me ask you this question off the back of that then, because you know,
you often have such,
such limiting religious mindsets, right? Um,
that just just keep people separate from God's best for our lives.
But are you suggesting, right? I'm just trying to get on this, right?
Are you suggesting that God has an investing mindset and that
on the mind of Christ that you're going to be a savvy investor?
Okay. 100%.
We're not just saying it. We're, we're, we're repeating what he said.
We're not the author of the message in the book. It's an investment book.
I mean, the whole book,
the Bible is an investment manual. Okay. So, so it's an investor's manual.
Okay. So here's the thing. God is the investor of all investors. Okay.
And we can talk for hours just on this one point,
but let's just get some quick points. People can marinate, meditate.
You all go read it yourselves.
It's all throughout the Bible from beginning to end. It's a, it's a love,
it's a love letter of, of, of, of an investor manual,
which is the answer to life.
The answer to life is to become an investor and you can become an investor
right now.
And by shifting your mindset, you don't have to go invest some money today to be,
no, you become an investor.
The moment you decide to start thinking like an investor,
which can start right now, maybe you think you're an investor,
but, but what's the yield like in your life right now?
If the yield is not abundant in the way you think it should be or hope it should
be or whatever, there are new perspectives, new ways of thinking.
There's things that people know that you don't know that you need to tap into
and receive to start thinking those thoughts that will create greater yield than
ever before in all areas of your life. We're not just talking financially.
I mean, even though that is one for sure, but in all areas.
And so if people are saying, I don't know about what are you talking about?
God's an event. He sowed the greatest seed of all time.
He sowed the greatest investment, the highest, most valuable.
His son was the greatest seed, the greatest value of all time.
All right. Why though? What was his purpose in that? He's all about ROI.
What is ROI? Return on investment. That's right.
You wicked and lazy servant. So the time, talents, abilities, finances,
people, relationships that all of us have and have access to,
what are you doing with it? What are we doing with it?
What are we doing about it? So, so it's not,
we need to stop looking at God's balls in our court. He said,
my work is finished. What are you doing now?
What are you doing with the brain? I've given you the wealth, the body,
the time, the relationships,
the ability to go learn skills and refine those skills.
Because he who is skilled in what he does will serve before Kings,
not before obscure men.
And so it's about growing and developing these skill sets and mindsets and
partnering with God and saying, God,
help me and show me and having that desire to do that, to represent him.
And, and so he, he is the ultimate investor.
The more we look at God and who he is, it's all about sowing and reaping.
Just look at life, look around the answer to life.
He created life on the system of sowing and reaping. It's all about.
Look, this amazing marriage, we've been married for six and a half years.
It's beyond what I ever knew marriage could be.
We have an eight month old, gorgeous Gabriel, the great,
the stories go on and on about our marriage. But the point is this,
would this just happen? Because we hope so. God loves me. He's no,
we have invested on a daily basis.
We invested on a daily basis years before we even met each other,
preparing our hearts and minds and our lives to be able to be an asset and not
a liability to each other, to come into it as a whole person,
not needy and broken, but filled with him already.
That was the greatest thing that she did not need me. She was so
flowing with him.
Come together in this continued fruitful explosion and
I can never be for her everything she needs wants desires and vice versa,
but he is so, but, but our part though, is to steward.
What does that mean? It's investing daily. I speak over her. I physic,
all the things physically, mentally, emotionally, financially,
like all the things I invested myself. And here's what people got to get.
You have to invest in yourself to be able to invest.
I can't be everything that I'm supposed to be.
Want to be dream to be as a husband and a father. If I don't first daily,
inconsistently invest in myself, body, soul, and spirit, Jesus did that.
This is one of the things I think people miss.
They're trying to give away themselves and they don't even have,
they don't even have, they're trying to give what they don't have.
And so here's the thing, Jesus.
So we say personal growth and development.
is the answer.
When it comes to investor mindset,
what does that look like and what does it mean?
Well, it's sowing and reaping.
Whoever sows sparingly, reaps sparingly.
Whoever sows generously, reaps generously in all areas.
The reason we reap such intimacy and fun and laughter
and joy and friendship and everything from our marriage
all day, every day.
Now, do we have challenges at times?
Of course, in communication, different things.
Yes, people have that.
But it all works for our good and we get better
and it's amazing moving through it.
Why?
Because of our perspective and investor mindset,
we invest generously.
We sow generously into each other,
our marriage, into our family.
And so we reap abundantly.
And people look and they're like,
they've never seen anything like it.
Why?
Because we're just following what God says to do.
But what I really want to make sure people understand
is that Jesus modeled this.
He invested in himself first.
This is what many people have never heard.
But people talk about Jesus investing in everybody.
Wait a minute.
He first invested in himself.
He often withdrew into lonely places to get alone,
to get filled up, refueled, to get the instruction,
to get the direction, to get the downloads,
to get everything from the Father,
to go out and distribute out of himself
what was given to him that he had to sit
and receive first in order to give.
And so that's where most people miss it
is that they look at Jesus being all this and that
and whatever they think or perceive,
but the order of the flow of an investor,
which he is the God and Jesus,
they model living an investor mentality and perspective.
And that's why abundance broke out everywhere,
all day, everywhere.
Come on, man.
More than overflow.
Because why?
The focal points from an investor mentality
are the lens that you look through
is all about ROI and opportunity cost.
Okay, ROI is return on investment of your time,
talents, abilities, resources, all that.
What's the opportunity cost?
Opportunity cost is this.
Whenever we said yes to being here for an hour, right?
The opportunity cost is what it would cost us
to not take this hour and do a million other things
we could go do and be fruitful, right?
So that's how important it is to even be here.
We make these decisions consciously and intentionally
and thoughtfully because it says the wise man
gives thought to his ways.
So we wanna be wise,
we're trying to give thought to our ways.
And so, okay, if we say yes to this,
we're simultaneously saying no to a million other things.
So what is the highest and best use of your time,
talents, abilities?
Are you even thinking about this stuff?
Are you just living, just bouncing around,
going through the motions by default?
So that's huge.
As God asked me years ago, he said,
who was the greatest student that ever lived?
I'm gonna repeat this, this is huge.
Because if people can just get this one thing,
it will change everything.
God asked me years ago,
I've never, I've heard lots of pastors, lots of preachers,
I've never heard this that I know of from a human.
God told me years ago, he asked me actually,
who was the greatest student that ever lived?
Well, of course, we just,
our conditioned regurgitated mindset,
we just throw out an answer.
We don't even think about what we're saying
or thinking about.
We say, oh, greatest of anything, we must be Jesus.
Well, wait a minute, think about that.
And that's what I did too.
I probably just like, well, Jesus,
well, I was like, wait a minute, the greatest student,
we talk about Jesus as the greatest teacher.
That's carp before the horse, people.
Jesus chose to be the greatest student that ever lived.
Therefore, he became the greatest teacher.
The greatest teacher part never would have happened.
Now again, what does that mean?
We're in the context, we're talking about being an investor.
He invested in himself.
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
and in favor with God and man.
Why did he?
Because he was investing daily.
He was learning carpentry.
He was learning, you know, all the things, right?
As a human experience.
You know, the thing, exactly, that's just so powerful.
Exactly what David is talking about.
You know, I believe that that is why we see
such exhausted, tired Christians.
So often in the church, people are worn out.
They're stretched way too thin
because they're saying yes to everything
because they believe that to be a good little Christian,
you need to say yes to this and you need to do this
and you need to work in the children's ministry
and you need to work in the youth ministry
and you need to, you know, you need to help this person,
help that person, you know, be like Jesus.
But if we could just understand, how can you possibly,
like Jesus says, if you give even a cup of water
to someone in my name, you've done it as unto me.
But if your well is dry,
how are you going to give a cup of water
to the person that you come across?
And it's just like, you know,
when he said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
Yes, love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Have we ever even thought to consider
how we're loving ourselves?
Do we love ourselves?
Because if I'm gonna love my neighbor,
now it's totally different, it's even more for me
as him being my husband,
but imagine that he's just my neighbor
and I need to love him as I love myself.
Well, for a lot of people, that's a very bad thing.
Because if I don't love myself,
then that means that I'm not gonna love him well.
And so always going back to the intimacy
that Christ had on earth with his heavenly father.
investing, spending that time, investing that time, it's absolutely everything.
And so we would get people refreshed,
refilled to be able to pour out to the community if they would just understand
that it's all about investing in ourselves first so that we can give
of ourselves to anyone else and, you know, we fly a lot.
And every single time they come row by row and they speak to families with young
children and they say, remember, first put your oxygen mask on before you
before you help the baby every single time, every flight.
We've been on probably twenty five
flights with Gabriel and he's only eight months old.
Why is that?
Well, Jesus would have said that you need to help the other people first.
Well, guess how if you're if you're passed out because you don't have oxygen,
you're not going to be a very good service to your neighbor.
And, you know, it's just absolutely everything.
And one other thing, you know, people talk about, oh, what are you doing?
Like, oh, I'm just passing time or I'm killing time.
It pains me to even say the phrase, oh, I'm just killing time about that.
Like we need to be investing our time.
And that means that we need to look at our day.
We need to really get real with ourselves in the moment.
Anytime it pops up.
What am I doing with my time right now?
Am I just scrolling just to get that endorphin shot?
Just to get that dopamine rush or am I
investing that time because the very worst thing is slap in the face that we could
ever make to the savior of the world who came to give us life and life to the
fullest because the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.
And so anytime we're just killing time, that's just John 10, 10 right there.
And God just showed me that right now.
He's the thief.
He comes to steal, kill and destroy.
And one of the biggest things that he ever
uses, especially this day and age, is the enemy of distraction.
And so if we're allowing time to be killed, time to be stolen, time to be
destroyed, then we're really just allowing the devil to rob us versus
investing that time in ourselves, in our relationship with the Lord and then in
others, maybe that's so powerful.
One quick thing that was so clear as you
were saying that is so powerful is the circle of sowing.
This is really investing, right?
It's you look at nature.
So each of us are a seed,
but we're also a seed that's full of seeds, limitless, right?
Because you look at it
and you all probably heard this.
A lot of people have heard this, but how many apples are in a seed?
Yeah, well, actually, you first asked, well, how many seeds are in an apple?
You can count as like five or six, whatever it is.
But how many apples are in a seed?
You can't count.
The answer is limitless because there's
limitless orchards in that one seed and that's life.
That's the answer to life.
And so if you're not sowing into yourself, you're not renewing your mind.
If you're not spending time around people
like this and this summit, other people to receive important.
That's what is investing in yourself mean?
It means this. You're here.
You're investing in yourself. Don't let it take it and act on it.
That's where taking action becomes not just the knowing here, but the knowing.
There's a difference in you knowing about God or me knowing about her and knowing
the other, knowing and intimacy.
And so that's the thing.
The circle of sowing is you sow into yourself so that you can sow into others.
And then what happens? Others sow into you more than ever in more ways.
And Jesus lived it. He modeled it.
For those that don't know,
he sowed into himself abundantly so that he could sow into people abundantly.
And then what happened? People sowed into him.
Do you all realize that there were some
wealthy women funding his life and ministry and purpose and mission?
There were other people. I mean, he had a treasurer.
Right. So so it was that circle of sowing.
That's important. Yeah.
And, you know, the thing is, we're called not just to be a tree,
not just to be a branch, but to be a branch that bears much fruit.
And so I think a lot of people are really just merely existing.
You know, they're hanging on the vine and they're like, yeah, you know, like I'm
I'm doing the thing like people will ask us, hey, how's it going?
Or, you know, hey, what are you up to?
And people will be like, oh, nothing.
Just same old, same old.
We don't ever say that every single time.
We'll say, hey, how are you doing?
We say, you know, better than ever.
And the thing is, like if we just hang out
on the vine and allow time to pass and just allow, you know, the nutrients to run
through.
We're not doing anything if we open up the channels, open up the veins and the
vessels for God to pour out abundantly through us.
You think about those dead branches on a tree.
Well, their veins are not flowing those rich nutrients anymore.
Everything has been cut off and they're
literally just hanging out, just waiting to, you know, for the next storm to blow
them over. And that's not what we're called to be at the bot as the body of Christ.
As David mentioned earlier, we're meant to be so fruitful, so abundant.
And I'm not you may hear me saying abundant financially.
So then maybe that's just what you're feeling right now,
but I'm talking every area of our lives
because money is really a tool.
You know, if I were a carpenter,
I wouldn't be all jazzed up about my hammer.
I would be jazzed up about what my hammer can do.
And so that dead branch is just waiting
for the storm to get out,
but we need to open up every single area of our lives
and allow his nutrients to flow and flood us
so that we can become abundant to feed those around us.
And I'm talking feed and, you know,
words of knowledge and praying for others
and just being the hands and feet of Jesus.
But if we're just dying on the vine,
then that's an absolute waste
of everything that's been given.
And I will tell you,
there are so many people that did not wake up this morning.
Just being here right now,
having life flood through our veins is a gift,
but what are we doing with it?
It's a challenge to all of us.
That's so powerful.
So the question is,
are you investing time, money, energy,
and resources into yourself?
That's the question.
Because, you know,
that to us is boiling it down to the investor.
What does that mean?
What was the investor perspective?
What does it mean in a practical sense?
It's that.
And if you are to some degree,
you're seeing some degree of results.
If you're not at all,
you're not seeing many results.
You're probably stuck.
You're probably living a very limited life.
If you're investing abundantly,
those things yourself,
you are experiencing and reaping
an abundance of amazing friendships
and people taking you to the next level
and resources and all ideas and other things.
Because we are our own greatest investment.
That's the thing.
Like, do you know what I mean?
We have invested Jesus,
the greatest gift into us.
Into us.
So we are the greatest investment.
So good.
That leads me to kind of a wrap up kind of question for us.
This has been so, so good.
Because I think, you know, like,
people might look at someone
who's living in abundance, right?
And see their assets or see capital value or see wealth.
And they go, oh yeah,
well, it's because they've got that resource
that they're successful.
So here's a question for you guys.
Would you, if you had to choose,
you could either keep your mindsets of abundance
or your capital value of all your properties,
of all your properties, companies, all that.
If you got like forced to choose,
like mindsets or capital value of just financial value,
what would you take?
It's not even a question.
It's the most obvious answer for those who know
that the answer is mindset all day, every day.
Because out of that,
it produces the abundance all day, every day in every way.
So the material things, that's not even,
that's just a by-product of value of the person.
Everywhere Jesus went, abundance.
And I can prove that this is the correct answer.
Because if you take any of the wealthy people in the world,
you take the billionaires, you take the multimillionaires.
If you take away all of their finances,
you check back with them even in six months.
I mean, I'm talking down to zero.
They will have rebuilt because of the principles,
because of the mindsets.
It's just like, if you take the house away from the builder,
he has all the tools.
He'll just rebuild and make something even stronger
and even greater.
And then on the reverse side,
you take someone with the wrong mindsets,
with that poverty mentality,
with the lack of mentality.
They win the lottery.
You give, you know,
someone who has the wrong mindset,
give them a million dollars.
You check back with them.
In less than six months, it will all be gone.
And they will be in even worse spot.
So much so that I have heard that, you know,
you can check facts on this,
but people who win the lottery
now have a mandatory counseling counselor
to actually help them understand
what this money can do for them.
Like, I actually literally heard that the other day
because people are winning a $35 million lotto,
and then they are absolutely blowing all of it.
And it just, money is a magnifier.
And so this wrong mindset is magnifying the wrong mindset
versus the correct mindset.
Even if you took the funds away,
they would be able to rebuild
and be so much stronger on the other side.
So powerful, baby.
Man, this has been so glorious, guys.
We can't wait to hear more from you in the future.
And so excited to journey together in the future
and just kind of help build this, you know,
the community with what you're carrying.
That is just so much glory on that.
And Seb, any wrap up thoughts from yourself, my man?
Yeah, I'm just curious for people,
for people out there who've just loved, you know,
what you guys have had to say,
what's the best way for people to connect with you guys?

maybe they're hearing it weeks after this live, or maybe they're on right
now live stream, Lord, I just pray that you would uniquely speak to them right
now, that you would remind them that you know, the amount of hairs on their
very head, and you know exactly the rate that their own fingernails grow
Lord, you are so intimate, and you think of them so much more than even the
grains of the sand upon the entire earth. Lord, I seal the words of the Holy
Spirit that have spoken this morning. And I just ask that an abundant harvest
be reaped from every seed that was sown into each and every heart Lord, I pray
that you would show yourself strong and mighty in each and every life Lord and
that from this day from this moment forward, that life would change for them
Lord, that they would be able to see through a new lens from a fresh
perspective and that they would be reminded constantly that they don't have
to live in their own mindsets anymore that they can take on your mind Jesus
because of your sacrifice. We thank you so much for this time together. And we
just thank you that you have spoken that you do what you want to do Lord
through each and every one of our lives. We lay our lives out on the altar for
you Lord as an offering and as a sacrifice and we just pray all this in
Jesus mighty name. Amen. Amen.
Amen. Wow, guys, so much fire. Hey, in like 20 seconds. What are the top three
things that you're looking at in the investing space right now? What's got
your attention? And you're like, I'm gonna put some money on that.
Well, number one for us real estate's huge. It's the thing that set me forever
financially free years ago in my 20s. We've helped many other people down that
path through leveraging real estate, no money out of pocket, no credit part time
basis. But we're also we we do own, you know, we have digital currencies, we,
you know, we have businesses, we're all about producing assets. What's that?
Digital currencies, you're talking crypto, you're in that game.
Yeah, we have multiple digital currencies, you know, we own income
producing real estate, businesses, we own businesses that produce income and
profit. And so, right, it's about, you know, if you're faithful and little,
you'll be made rule over much but given cities and so income producing assets,
right, we're to be
very cool. So for you guys, it's businesses, crypto real estate, it kind
of like in your top three at the moment.
Yeah, absolutely. Yep. Where it's in. And number four is we're just laser
being focused on investing in people.
Well, that's number one. Yeah, people riches flow through relationships. So
our greatest investment are the relationships we have. Yeah.
inventing and people helping them to live the abundant life and really go after the dreams
that God has given them. The real estate and the businesses, everything we have, that's a byproduct
of the relationships we've built. And so that continues to produce and multiply because of
the relationships that we continue building and cultivating and nurturing. And that's why we're
so excited to connect with all of you digitally. Yeah. So, so genius. Love it, guys. We're about
to have Eric Skelton on who is blowing it up in the space of NFTs and creating a whole movement
of Kingdom Warriors and that. So we're excited about that. I got to talk to our bots sometime
as well because our bots are blowing up. And yeah, cool, guys. So awesome. And I think one
of the things that we're coaching people towards and we've got a whole mentorship, 40 day mentorship
at the end of this on helping people fast track seven streams of income. Have you guys got seven
streams of income plus? Yeah, we've got probably 20 something at this point. Yeah, exactly. And
that's Ecclesiastes 11 to invest in seven benches. Yes, even eight, because you do not know what
disaster may come upon the land. And once you start hitting that, you know, and wealth actually
just like causes opportunity to run to you and causes doors to explode open. And then just you
just snowball. I think we've lit up, you know, like another nine income streams and probably just
last four months just because opportunities just open up. So, so excited, guys. And we'll catch
you soon. We're going to go straight into live with Eric in about two minutes. So bless you guys.
And so excited to journey more in the future. Thanks so much for having us. Nice to see you guys.
