our Q&A for the three-day Royal Challenge and so go for it anyone who's got a question.
Feel free to unmute and get chatty, get the vacuum cleaner and just, just run downstairs.
Random conversation happening there. Righto, anyone here got a question?
Hi, I have a question. Yeah, Janine. Okay, just wanting to find out, just a little bit, I'm
actually in a bit of a situation at the moment and I'm not sure where God's leading me. I'm
trusting that he's going to guide me in the right direction and the last three days that I've been
listening to this, it's just been absolutely a revelation to me that God does not want us to be
in poverty and I don't know about anybody else but when you're in such a financial situation,
how do you go about around this or how? Because I'm trusting God, that's all I'm doing, I'm
trusting God. So how do we go about it if we are at that, at that point in our life? Yeah,
I think that oftentimes when it comes to finances, we find ourselves in a crunch,
in a bind and we're like, ah, I need to, I need to resolve this but we don't always realize,
you know, like realistically why we are there. Yeah. We didn't just get there from one bad
decision usually, right? And oftentimes we are more, like where we are at financially is often
more, like it's obviously personal ownership. So I'm not, I'm not saying like don't, you know,
you've got to take personal ownership for where you are but also there's cultural dynamics that
put us where we're at as well, you know, there's, and, um,
you know, I had a story about a Jewish guy, right?
And this guy sits down on a plane beside a Jewish guy
and they start chatting to him.
And the guy asks the Jewish man, he's like,
oh, so, you know, when he says he's Jewish,
he's like, oh, so, you know, are you wealthy?
And the guy looks at him like,
there's something wrong with him.
He's like, dude, I'm Jewish.
He's like, what type of a question is that?
I'm Jewish.
And so, the guy's point was, like, this is our culture.
Like, wealth is our culture.
We don't do poor.
Yeah, yeah.
And so, that's an interesting mindset right there, right?
That's just an interesting clue right there
to the fact that poverty is often cultural.
And poverty in a family can be cultural.
And poverty in, you know,
so, you have brackets of society, right?
Which, like, this is the lowest socioeconomic,
the middle class, the higher.
Well, that's cultural division within a group of people.
So, what is actually creating that cultural divide
of wealth or not wealthy?
So much of it is mindsets.
So much of it is mindsets around finance,
culture around finance.
You know, what we say to our kids about finance.
Just picture this for a moment, right?
Picture this.
We're in a castle, right?
And we're in a castle.
There's a royal family, there's a king.
The king's out doing some stuff.
And then, there's a guest to the castle.
And the guest is sitting down,
chatting with the king's son.
And the guest then starts asking the son,
what, you know,
like, what job he's gonna get when he grows up.
And then, the king comes in and busts the guest,
starting this conversation with the kid
about what type of job he's gonna get when he grows up.
And the king is like, what are you doing?
And immediately banishes the guy from the castle.
Now, why would the king banish the guest from the castle?
It's because he's having a conversation.
He's asking the wrong question.
He's starting a conversation.
He's starting a mind, like, starting a mindset,
starting a mind track, starting a mind loop
that the king never wants his royal son to ever,
like, he never wants that to be a part of his paradigm.
He doesn't, like, royalty,
while royalty is big on service and things like that,
royalty never want their kids to go out
and get a nine to five for the sake of money.
But now you see some of these guys, you know,
like, in the royal family,
they go out and they join the army and do things like that.
Well, they're not doing that for money.
No.
They're doing that for maybe your character development
or to show the people that they're, you know, nice
or, you know, whatever,
but they're not doing it for money, okay?
So, even this concept,
and then the Jewish concept is,
when do you start making money?
Like, when do you start doing finances?
When do you start owning your finances?
When do you start winning with your money?
For the Jewish people, it's probably from,
probably before you were born,
there was already finances put in place for you.
Yeah.
It's a culture of multi-generational wealth.
You know, like, a Jewish family,
they're gonna have their kids,
they're gonna be teaching their kids
on the five jars that we talked about.
You know, like, you get your money in,
you put 10% into tithe,
you put 10% into offerings,
you put 10% of savings,
you put 20% into investments,
and you live off 50%.
Now, that's a big cultural,
that's huge.
That's a huge cultural way of living.
And we often, as well,
another thing around the finances,
it's like in the West, right?
Like, my financial training was like, you know,
like, work hard, right?
You work hard and you should tithe.
Yeah.
And that was it.
Now, that's my middle-class mentality,
my middle-class Christian mentality,
work hard and tithe.
And then if you ever are gonna invest
into anything, buy a house.
Yeah.
Which is, there's nothing wrong with buying real estate.
Real estate on average, you know,
goes up 9% per annum every year,
you know, over centuries.
So that's like the average for real estate.
So there's nothing wrong with that.
And you might get the middle-class dream, right?
But the middle-class dream,
like, this is the middle-class dream, right?
The middle-class mindset is,
you're like a poor student, basically,
for the first 20 years of your life,
poor student.
Then the next, you know, kind of,
40 or so years of your life, you're going to buy a house,
you're going to go into debt to get, you know,
you're going to go into debt to get some training,
then you're going to go into more debt to get a house,
and then you spend that next 40 years
trying to pay off that debt,
but not only trying to pay off that debt,
you're also trying to scrimp and trying to save
to make sure that you've got enough money left to,
you know, to pay for the rest of your life.
True.
That's kind of a dumb picture, right?
But it all revolves around the 9-to-5 work hard
type of mindset, which I love working hard,
and if you're in a 9-to-5 where you feel like
God's called you to be there and you love that place
and it revolves around your passion, that's great,
but so many people, you know,
there are so many people in jobs that,
and they're out of financial necessity
and financial obligations,
so their economy revolves around money
and money rules over them,
and, you know, there's two ways that money rules over us.
One, if it corrupts our hearts and mind,
and then the other way that money rules over us
is if it controls our time and resources.
What Jesus was teaching us to do
was to have purity in heart and mind,
that's the first part of alignment,
so money doesn't come and go,
money doesn't rule over you through a character flaw,
you have purity, you rule over the money there,
it's got no control over your heart and your mind,
but then secondly, as you have an investment culture,
that's what all the parables of the talents,
he was talking about millions of dollars there,
he was talking about stewarding millions of dollars,
and he was talking about, you know,
it's in that context of stewarding well
that you'll not only will your finances be blessed,
but you'll actually be entrusted to do that,
not only will your finances be blessed,
but you'll actually be entrusted with greater authority,
greater dominion for whatever sphere of influence
you wanna be in, if you wanna increase your,
you know, if you wanna increase the authority on your life,
then steward your finances well,
and God will bless, like, there's a dynamic there,
Jesus was specifically talking about that multiple times
about how you steward your finance,
but if you kind of read between the lines,
there wasn't anywhere in there that Jesus said,
you need to go out and get a nine to five,
he never used that model as like the best model,
he used the investment model, right, why?
Because he was Jewish, you know, people,
you know, like, he was Jewish,
they were good at this right from the beginning,
you know, like King Solomon, he was saying,
you know, Ecclesiastes 12, one,
you don't have seven ministers, eight of eight ministers,
so they were all like, you know,
all of those Jewish guys back then,
they all knew Solomon off by heart,
Solomon spoke heaps about finances,
and he brought this royal wisdom, right,
so the cool thing about Proverbs
is Proverbs means training for reigning,
and the whole point of the book of Proverbs
was Solomon wanted to impart royal mindsets into his people,
he's like, guys, I'm a flippin' awesome king,
I'm a wise king, I'm a wealthy king,
I know what it looks like to be a king,
let me impart to you the mindsets of royalty,
because they will shift you,
so they've got this whole culture,
for thousands of years, they've got a culture
that's an investment culture,
and Jesus spoke about that investment culture,
that's what the parable of the talents is,
that's what the parable of the miners is,
that is Jesus giving an example
of how you should do money, what?
Go out and get a nine to five?
No, he's saying, no, invest wisely,
you know, the servants that were applauded by Jesus,
like, yeah, you're the hero in the story,
was the servant that knew how to invest,
so you've got to kind of see
that that's a really big picture,
now, the other person who's the real hero in that story
is not the servant who knows how to invest, right?
The real hero in the story financially
is the guy who actually, it's his capital,
see, the guy that has the capital
isn't even doing the investing,
the guy that has the capital, his money,
he puts his money out to work for him,
and so he's got his money out making money for him,
now, if you go to the Jewish mindset again, right,
they steward the first 20 years,
they steward the first 20 years
really, really well of their kid's life,
we don't realize this, but we in the middle class,
you know, if that's where you're from,
and most Christians would kind of fall into this category,
middle to lower class in general,
there are lots of wealthy Christians,
but in general, most Christians
are not in that wealthy bracket,
that's changing a lot, but I'm just saying,
most Christians, most pastors, right,
most pastors aren't in the wealthy bracket,
wealthy pastors get, you know,
they often get a lot of flack,
you know, like, oh, he's a millionaire, well, flip,
don't go to, like, don't go to church with a pastor.
because he broke, you'll end up being broke too
because he'll teach you his mindsets around money.
I used to be that pastor, okay?
I used to be that pastor,
but then I learned financial principles
that Jesus was trying to teach us in the second phase
and that changed the game for me, right?
So back in the day,
would I want anyone to listen to my dynamics on finances?
Well, I had some really good stuff going on.
I understood faith really well.
I understood extreme generosity.
I understood having purity of heart and mind.
That was really good.
Just the missing element was the thing
that's missing from most Christians,
which is the investment element.
That's like the missing thing,
but when it comes to investments,
you've got time or money,
or those are your two big assets, right?
Those are your two real big assets.
And the cool thing about Jewish people, right,
is that they don't wake up one morning and go,
oh no, Flip, what are we gonna do about money?
And they had this conversation thousands of years ago
and figured it out thousands of years ago.
And so they put that in place thousands of years ago.
And so now the culture is,
we put this in place for our kids before they're even born.
And so for us, right, we wake up and we go,
oh, Flip, I've got no money.
I've got no, like, I lost my job.
And so now I've lost my money
because we don't do investments.
Whereas, so, and then we have this conversation
and then we have this, oh my gosh,
I've got to change my entire culture.
I've got to change my entire, everything has to change.
Whereas for a Jewish person,
they've started that process for their kids
before their kids are even born.
So their kids don't have to wake up and go,
oh, because for 20 years or so
before the kids really need money,
they've got an investment plan actually happening
and their parents are actually teaching them through
how to do investments.
So that the time, by the time the Jewish son
is like 13 years old,
and he's, you know, even before he's 13 years old,
but at 13 years old,
his dad's getting him to do the business deals.
Because he's had his bar mitzvah,
he's been recognized as a son in the house.
And he's like, sweet, well, you run the business now at 13.
So at 13, rather than the kid going out
and getting a job, you know, at the supermarket,
you know, he probably owns the supermarket.
But yeah, I guess, so what I'm saying
with our dynamics around waking up one day and go,
hey, Philip, I'm in a financial bind here.
I'm really stuffed financially.
Well, what's the answer?
The answer is cultural.
Like, don't, and here's the problem, right?
Because we get in a survival-based mindset,
we then go, I better fix this problem for myself.
Well, we don't want, that's like just one generation deep.
Don't fix the problem for yourself.
Fix the problem for your family line.
So that's, I guess that's a real big part
of what the Jewish people do so well,
is they don't do finances just for themselves.
They do it for their family line.
And so, something that's beautiful
that I've noticed, right, in this journey, right,
is on Sonship, when you step into Sonship
and you've been walking in Sonship for a little while,
and then God really starts.
And you've started to get set into Sonship really well.
Then he starts really actually opening up to you royalty.
Starts opening up to you the ways of royalty
on a whole nother level.
And he's like, whoa.
And after you, and then after you've seen that
for a little while, like this, the highest,
here's what I would say is like the highest expression
of the gospel, right?
When the gospel has its ultimate culmination
in a person's life, the first thing that it does, right,
is it changes the person, then it changes their family.
But then after that, the gospel becomes
a multi-generational blessing, right?
And the, you know, like there's so many different versions
of the gospel that you could subscribe to.
You know, just check out how many churches there are
in your town, or your city.
How many different churches are there?
There's so many different versions of the gospel
that you can kind of subscribe to.
And some of them will have you living in poverty.
Some of them will have you kind of living on the right.
You know, some of them will just have you living
as an orphan, whatever.
But really, the most beautiful dynamic
is when you discover your sonship,
you start walking in royalty,
and what you set up is a multi-generational dynasty.
That, to me, is the ultimate expression of the gospel.
When the gospel really has its full bloom in our lives
is it becomes a multi-generational dynasty
where you're imparting to your children
and your children's children, the ways of royalty,
the mindsets, the systems, and all of those things.
So I'll see you, Kerry.
Oh, no, I see you saying hello.
good to hear you. Very cool. So, yeah, so that's kind of, I guess that's my, my thoughts on that.
So, so what happens, right, is when we wake up as an individual one day and go, ah, I'm stuffed
for money, right? We don't realize how stuffed we are, you know, like, because we don't realize
what the, um, we don't realize the context we're in, in terms of where God really wants us to be.
The way God really wants us to be is Proverbs 13, 22. You know, a good man leaves an inheritance
for his children's children. And so that's multi-generation. That's, that's what the
gospel should produce. And we're in a place where people are living, 20 years broke student,
you know, get student debt, get a house debt, spend the rest of your life a slave to that
debt. And then hopefully somehow you've managed to save enough just to survive for the last two
years of your life. Um, versus the Jewish mindset, you know, like just the first 20 years of your
life, you're investing aggressively and you're not just, you're not going out to work for yourself.
You're creating residual income streams. Your money is making money for you. So, so you can
probably actually just buy a house with cash. Um, you can probably, you know, uh, when you retire
or whatever, you just need it. You don't have to retire. You don't have to stop your job because
you've got, um, investments and passive income coming in. So probably the last days of your life
are the wealthiest days of your life because you've just had your whole life where passive
investments and residual income streams have been building. And so now you're like flip, you know,
like how much difference is that as a mindset, as a culture?
Yeah. So, so the answer then, you know, Janine, for us, when we wake up one day and go, oh man,
I'm stuck. And this is what my wife and I had, right. We are stuck. You know, our, uh, I've
got a friend David and he said, if you're, if you're outgoings and exceed your incomings,
your upkeep will be your downfall. Yeah. And so that was us. We're like, oh snap,
what are we going to do? You know, no, no investments, nothing, just credit card debt.
Yeah. Um, so what we had to do was just make a one degree shift.
And how do you do that? Yeah. So this is the thing, right? You wake up, right? You're in
pain right now, obviously. And, um, and that pain isn't going to shift overnight, is it? You know,
unless you get your, you know, like what we always pray for is our, you know, we pray for
our fairy godmother or whatever to turn up and ping. And I'm not saying that God doesn't do
awesome breakthroughs on money. He, he really does, but that's not what we're after. You don't
want an awesome breakthrough. You want a new culture, right? Because if you get, if you win
the lottery and you put that money into the same culture, it'll still, you know, you'll just repeat
the cycle. You'll just be back there. Yeah. Um, so what we need to do is just start making a one
degree shift. And that's where I would say is like, where can you make a one degree shift?
Um, so there's two places we could make the one degree shift money. There's four purposes of money.
Good friend of mine, Bruce McDonald has a great saying on money. He said,
money is a terrible master, but a wonderful servant, a terrible master, but a wonderful
servant. In fact, the Bible has over 2000 verses speaking about money. So it has a fair amount to
say, um, someone on one of my posts the other day that commented, you know, shouldn't be talking,
be talking about all the people going to hell and the love of God and all the money. I was like,
interestingly, Jesus talked about money a lot more than he talked about how, um,
just in terms of like, just statistically. So obviously it was something that he thought was
significant and it is so significant because it determines your whole, the economy of your life.
Like, do you live around, does your economy revolve around finances or passions? Because
for a poor person, you know, for a person who's where money rules over them in the terms of,
if money dictates what resources we can have and what we do with our time, then that's money
ruling over us. Now Christians are so like, oh, money's bad. It's like, whoa, calm down. You
don't realize that money's ruling over you. You get like this poverty mentality that's all around
money's evil. And it's like, dude, you are so controlled by money already and you don't even
realize it. Um, so anyway, there's four purposes of money, which is to give, to spend, to save,
or to invest. So give,
spend save or invest that's the the four purposes of money give save spend or invest
and then you've got your five jars right so you're tithing your offering
now i know people have got a lot of a lot of different perspectives on tithes and offerings
etc the the point that you should get right the the higher even in the jewish principles
even in the the old testament and the new testament the higher principle right rather
than what percentage you're giving is the principle of extreme generosity
in the old testament generosity and righteousness were linked hand in hand your righteousness was
seen in through your generosity and it doesn't just have to be around money but the concept
of generosity and righteousness are welded together in the hebrew mind you know in the
old testament i'm just trying i've just kind of kind of forgotten the the word for it's like
zada or zadek or something i've forgotten the hebrew word but righteousness and generosity
are tied together so these are two jars you know tithes and offerings and then saving 10 so tithes
offerings savings 10 investing 20 and then living off 50 and i know that you know like
for most of us living off 50 is like what that's real crazy but i guess you know like if you haven't
had you know the first 20 years of your life aggressively investing you know it's hard to
live off 50 of nothing but it's really easy to live off 50 50 of heaps you know 50 of abundance
is it's easy to live off that but 50 of nothing well that's difficult so
the question is where can you make a one degree shift where can you make a one degree shift and
your giving where can you make a one degree shift in your spending where can you make a
one degree shift in your investing and where can you make a one degree shift in your saving
because got this we get to this place after a lifetime and not just it's not just our lifetime
it's a multi-generational we are the recipients of a multi-generational mindset so if you're
not born wealthy that means that your family line they stuffed it up yeah pretty much
and so you've got to ask yourself are you going to do the same thing no or are you going to do
some real real hard graft and change the game yep so for us you know it was surprising actually
because we never we didn't really um you know like we we didn't have much cash we didn't have
much income and but it's surprising how quickly things can start to change when you make a one
an intentional one degree shift so can you can you save somewhere you know have you got something
you know can you um can you invest somewhere you know we looked at tiny investments you know like
um we we bought half a cow you know with some friends you know like we bought a half a calf
and then you know got that got raised on a farm that's the type of stuff i used to do when i was
we just when we didn't have hardly anything we started with the tiny little things that we could
we could um and so for us we started saving and then actually just kind of got in this mindset
where everything that we saved we would pretty much invest we weren't really saving up to get
things it was saving up to invest so we could help shift the culture for us and for our family line
and so for us for me i i really believe that you know part of our responsibility
you know as parents part of our calling is to um create a multi-generational
legacy for our kids in regarding regards to finance i think it's so correct i don't get it
you know i didn't get how so many of our parents did it right which is just now you're on your own
we're like what what type of a mindset is that around raising up kids with money like you're
on your own just figure it out no one helped me i'm gonna help you like what as though that's
supposed to be a blessing it's like uh no not really like so anyway for me i want to change
that culture i don't know about you guys but i want to change that culture for our family
yeah i'm going to change it so yeah it starts just starts with those small things
awesome
but let me let me let me say this though something that will help on those small things
is it starts with small actions connected to a big vision
right because you could take small actions
sacrifice but if they aren't in alignment with a real clear vision that you want to create a
multi-generational legacy and you want to get to the point where you are you know where your world
revolves around the five jars um you know you've got to have a big vision take take little steps
but towards a big vision and towards a real clear vision that you're like sweet i'm going to change
this on my family line and my great-grandchildren are not going to have to deal with this rubbish
yep
sweet any thoughts on that team
definitely um it has opened up my eyes because i know my culture for um finances is definitely
you know from growing up so it's it is it's it has to be me that needs to change it
okay yeah it's i've got i know i'm wanting to change that i'm wanting to change that
for my family and for my parents at this point in time
yeah that's a that's a great dynamic and i think that you know when we are under the influence of
the all these poverty mindsets so many Christians are under we never come to this place of actually
realizing that god wants our families to be dynasties yeah that he does not want you to create
a generational cycle of orphans he doesn't want that he wants you to create a generational cycle
of royalty and that's why we've called our whole business raising royalty our business is called
raising royalty because we need to shift the culture and we're working on a whole parenting
platform and parenting dynamics and marriage dynamics and actually we start the seven sacred
pathways to intimacy um training very shortly as well for anyone who wants to create mind-blowing
intimacy if anyone likes the idea of mind-blowing intimacy then on friday in the online school of
sonship we are starting the seven sacred pathways to intimacy training one of the most vulnerable
uncut uh series on intimacy and how to create intimacy and how to have a blueprint for intimacy
that is available in the world so that's going to be a lot of fun um you know like and actually
you're at the heart of at the heart of uh you know at the heart of a multi-generational dynasty
is actually a great marriage um a great marriage that is founded you know that is
it's you know it's founded on divine romance so if we can create great marriages founded on
divine romance um where mums and dads understand that they are royalty and they raise their kids
as royalty and as they have a multi-generational mindset then they can really make some big
changes um if you're gonna go real in depth in some of this stuff as well i have got a whole
series called kingdom economics that is in the masterclass group so you can check that out you
can see the kingdom of solomon it's pretty wild actually it's pretty epic series um breaks all
this down diagrams cool stuff um some investment mindsets yeah
sweet anyone else got a question
i think we kind of nailed that agent now i think so yeah and it's just it's for me it's just i'm
wanting to do where god's wanting me to go so it's kind of sitting on that fence at the moment
which direction do i take you know i'm i'm busy doing the online sonship at the moment and i find
it's so awesome you know that he's definitely unwrapping stuff that i was not aware of and
it's just trying to go further in his word and his work you know and it's kind of at that time
you kind of your faith is the you understanding that god's got something bigger but it's like
where to next yeah cool
very cool oh well it's that that's an exciting it's not exciting season you know that you
you know potentially right now the pain that you're going through right now
could be just what you need to create a change for your whole family line yeah you know if you
were comfortable right now you wouldn't necessarily be asking the right questions to
change your whole family line you just stay in the cycle yeah exactly a good bit of pain right now
could be just the just what you need to ask the right questions to create long-term change that
really makes a massive difference yeah yeah it's definitely having to break that
because, I mean, our culture is that we've been living like that in poverty for years and generations and generations.
And I don't want that anymore.
I don't want to be my grandchildren, you know, to have that or my children.
I mean, I haven't been able to supply for my children, you know.
It's because I haven't been taught or brought up with God wants us to live in purity, you know.
So it's just changing that whole mindset and actually having the right people to guide you.
Yeah.
Hey, Doug.
Good to see you, bud.
How's it going?
Yeah, good, mate.
Can you hear me?
Yep, I can hear you.
Excellent.
Hi, Joss.
Welcome.
A little late there, isn't it?
Let me see.
No, it's noon, isn't it?
Yeah, noon for us.
Yeah.
Sweet, guys.
So anyone got another question?
Well, I'm going to love and leave, everybody.
Thank you so much for answering those questions.
Just to give me a little bit more of an understanding, because I know God's got some good things happening.
And he's going to bless us all, because that's what he wants.
Absolutely.
Now, Janine, sorry, but just before you go, you should check out the raising royalty in the circle as well.
I've just done that.
I've got a meeting with Marcella at 2.30.
Oh, cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, that's awesome.
I would just say that one of the things that this might sound really basic, but I didn't have much going for financial wisdom.
But one thing God really said to me really clearly one day, he was like, son, you have to have something to sell.
I was like, oh.
I do.
But I've been sort of kind of pulling it off, because it keeps coming into my head.
And I keep putting it off, putting it off.
But yeah.
So one of the things that we do for people in the circle is we actually give them things to sell and things you can make over $1,500 in a single sale, which is great.
So that's for me, because when God said you need something to sell, I was like, well, I've got nothing to sell.
So I was like, what am I going to do?
So I just started creating content to sell.
I wrote a couple of books, and I created some courses and things like that.
But I realized as well that most people don't have something to sell.
Yeah.
The way things work is that actually only about 5% of people actually create content that will sell.
Yeah.
And I just found myself.
I was like, oh, I'm one of those people that just creates content.
I love to create content.
I love to teach.
I can probably teach on a dozen different topics really, really well that are really critical, just because I've been on my own journey in those things.
But that's one of the things that a benefit you have in the circle is it's a fusion of missions, discipleship, and kingdom business, where everything that we sell advances the kingdom, disciples people, supports missions.
But then it also empowers people with a business.
So they can actually have some dignity and actually be a part of a business, run their own business.
So, yeah.
No, it's fine.
I'll have my meeting at 2.30.
Great.
Awesome.
Yes, yeah.
Awesome.
Thank you so much.
Welcome.
Bye-bye.
See ya.
All righty, team.
We've got another question flying.
Joss, it's good to have you with us.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I was on another Zoom meeting.
Busy day, busy day.
That's all good.
It was a busy day, yeah.
But I have very much enjoyed your teaching.
Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
Much needed.
Now I have to learn about investments at my age.
Oh, man.
It would be really worth checking out the replay of what we just talked about.
I will.
That question was all about that.
Just kind of deep, just about really changing the cultural mindset around money.
Yeah, I see that.
To create a multi-generational legacy.
So, yeah.
Cool. Lee, any questions from Vancouver?
Well I haven't yet. I really did enjoy that, the word about our identity and performance
being separate. That was really good and helpful for me.
Cool.
I own a crane truck right now, so we have money invested in that, but it costs a lot
of money to repair, so I'm going to really kind of study about how I can invest and change
my mindset. That's going to take a bit of study.
Yeah, totally. And businesses, even if you are investing, that's why Solomon says you
can invest in seven or eight, because he says you never know what disaster will come
upon the land. So any business has different challenges, and I spent about $100,000 last
year creating infrastructure around a business, a particular business, and then with COVID
going, Facebook changed some of the regulations around how you could advertise, and the whole
business structure that I'd built around, it got banned. You couldn't advertise that
type of business anymore. Basically, you couldn't advertise anything helping people start a
business. And so I was like, what? So you know, there you go, like all your hard work
and things like that can change overnight, right? So it's like, oh, what? Snap. I know
one guy, one story where there's this family that had a really, really long-standing and
really big company that had been a 100-year company, and they had contracts all over the
world doing really big, I think it was kind of construction-y type things, engineering
type stuff. And there was another company that had almost the same name as them, but
it was like a dot or just a full stop or a letter that was different in their name. And
then this guy from the guy, and that other company started going into receivership, and
someone from the government posted about that going into receivership, but got their name
wrong and used the name of the company that had been a 100-plus-year company, having multinational
contracts and doing real big projects all around the world. And then all of their clients
heard that they were going into receivership when they weren't, and so they cancelled all
their contracts. And they just woke up one morning to realise that all their contracts
from a 100-year family business had just been cancelled, and it just about sunk the ship
overnight. They hadn't done anything wrong. It's just that sometimes, you know, sometimes
things happen, and so that's where purity of heart and mind can come in really, really
powerfully. Like purity of heart and mind means, okay, it's not going to rule you, like
that situation's not going to rule over you. You know, you get plenty of billionaires kill
themselves, right? That's a funny concept, eh? Poor people are like, why would a billionaire
kill himself? Because you can have a lot of money and it can still rule over you.
So one thing I'll say as well is that regardless of your situation, wisdom
always has a strategy for success. So that was something for, and I guess for me running
my own business, and we've got staff in five nations now, and they're just amazing. And I think
probably about 17 staff, I think at the moment. The amazing thing is that God always has a
strategy, because there's always blindsides, and you can't guarantee everything, and you don't know,
you know, like a natural disaster changes everything, you know, like an earthquake hits,
and it's not like they're rare. It seems like everywhere you look every day, there's a,
it seems like every day, there's a ridiculous tsunami, or an earthquake, or a thunderstorm,
or, you know, it's like, it's crazy, or there's another war, or there's a coup, like every day.
So those things, those geopolitical, environmental dynamics, there's just so many different things
that can change all the time.
But the beautiful thing about that, it's like Psalm 27, this is where like nailing your
identity side of things first is awesome.
Psalm 27, David says, the Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
When wicked men advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will
stumble and fall.
Though an army, though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear, though war break out
against me, even then I will be confident.
And the beauty of that is that, you know, just regardless of your context, God has already
got a plan for victory.
He's already got a battle plan for success.
He's already got a strategy to see you thrive.
So yeah, so it's exciting, you know, like he will just, he's always got a plan to see
you thrive.
And that's how our business has operated as well, you know, I took that big blindside,
I was like, oh, snap, what am I going to do?
And then I just had an encounter with wisdom that, boom, there you go, there's a battle
plan, there's a strategy right there, like get busy, I'm like, oh, my gosh, so much happens,
so much happening.
And so for us, it went from no idea what we're doing to like, within like four months, having
14 staff, because this wisdom gave a strategy.
And that's for everyone, you know, that's a promise for everyone, that wisdom will lead
you, there's a promise there for everyone.
This is, you know, it's like, that's the process of stepping into Ephesians 320, exceedingly,
abundantly above and beyond all we've ever did to ask, dream, pray, think, or even imagine.
Well, there's a process to step into that.
And wisdom has a unique, tailor-made system for success, protocol for success, step-by-step
plan for success for every single person.
So if we will engage with wisdom, we can step into a whole crazy world of, yeah, of success.
I just see a question from George popping up here.
Hey, was that, I'm not sure if I even answered the question, if we just chatted, really,
but was that good, Lee?
Was there any other thoughts that you're having around that?
No, that was awesome.
Yeah, even just that you said that he already has a plan or a strategy that, yeah, I was
all thinking, oh no, how am I going to find out that strategy?
How am I going to ask God and get him to tell me?
Of course, he wants to.
It's not like you have to twist his arm to get him to tell me.
It's something that I have to change that culture in me too.
And that's a big thing too, changing the culture.
Yeah.
One thing that I noticed, right, is that, say you're in an intense situation, you've
just had a major blindside, there's already, you don't have to ask, yeah, you don't have
to ask if God already has a strategy for success.
He has a strategy for success.
He's the master of strategy and he already has a strategy for success in place for you.
Yeah.
Like he already has that.
It's there.
Also, Doug, the easiest way to get the replays on this series is in the Masterclass group.
So I'm just sending you.
What was it?
There you go, bud.
That link I just sent you will hook you up with the deets for how to access this challenge
that we just did.
Yeah, what I find is, and George, I see your question there as well.
George, we'll hit you up with that in a moment.
We'll just finish this one and then we'll jump to you.
I find that it's not so much that it's hard to get the strategy from God, right?
The challenge is, and this is where our identity really shows up, is our emotions freak out,
but our emotions are evidence of our spiritual maturity.
So you get a blind side, and most of the time we go into stress, anxiety, fear, and stress,
anxiety, and fear actually shut down our ability to hear well.
So mastering those emotions is probably the first thing.
I'm just seeing some questions here.
Paul said, you could get swallowed by a whale, just in the Facebook comments.
So this is where just doing the work on identity is so powerful.
Like Janine before, we talked about her, she wakes up in pain one morning,
in her financial situation, like, oh no, I'm in a real bind here.
But the answer is not just money.
The answer is a complete cultural shift for her in regard to all the economics in her whole family life.
And it's the same again here when it comes to emotions.
Oh, what's the fix for my fear?
What's the fix for my stress?
What's the fix for my anxiety that I feel every time things go wrong?
Because those emotions often are what actually shuts us down from receiving the strategy.
Now you listen to David, you know, when I just quoted David from Psalm 27, verses 1 to 3.
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear.
Though war break out against me, even then will I remain confident.
And what's he got going on? David lives in a place of invincibility.
Right now, this is where what Jesus said about the parable of the talents really kicks in.
To him who has, even more will be given.
To him who does not have, even what they do have will be taken away.
So you, when you step into this place of identity and you start to realize, flip, you know, like you start becoming fearless because you're so baptized in love.
You just live in a place that's overwhelmed by love.
Then you become magnetic to everything that you need to be invincible.
When you start stepping into invincibility, the tools of the trade for invincibility, you start being magnetic to them.
You start bringing them in, like the strategies that you need to be invincible start coming.
So everything that you need, it's actually like magnetic.
Your faith pulls it in.
So when you step into that, so the key though, the key for that is actually all the identity work.
The key for that is the renewed mind.
The key for that all happens in the secret place.
The key for that all happening is we're digging deep and doing the personal work of Romans 12 too.
Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
That's where the key to all that transformation takes place.
But then it shows up on the battlefield.
You know, it shows up in the midst of a betrayal.
It shows up in a blind side.
It shows up when everything goes wrong.
It shows up when there's an earthquake.
It shows up when there's a hurricane.
It shows up when there's a tsunami.
It shows up when someone does something that crashes everything that you have.
You think about how many billionaires and millionaires have lost everything.
And the majority of the time, what do they do?
Just go and get it back.
No biggie.
Just go and sort it out.
It's easy.
It might be pain for a moment, but it's the mindsets that they carry,
the deeply ingrained cultural mindsets that they carry and the wisdom that they carry.
It's like, oh, that's all right.
It's just money.
We'll just go and make some more.
We'll just rebuild it.
We'll just do something else.
And this mindset.
And I guess so there's this invincible mindset.
Hey, if something goes wrong, nah, that's all right.
And they're not afraid to risk.
They're not afraid to try.
They're not afraid to skip out.
If it doesn't work out, you know,
there's always going to be something that we can do.
Whereas a lot of people kind of have this kind of fatalistic mindset that
if I step out on something and it fails, like it's all over.
You know, like Bill Gates.
It's not necessarily everyone's number one fan right now.
You know, his first business was a total flop.
You know, didn't go anywhere.
Start again and, you know, oh, what do you know,
create something that does quite well.
Steve Jobs, you know Steve Jobs,
who he actually was one of the founders of Apple, right?
But did you know that Steve Jobs was such a mongrel
that everyone that worked in Apple,
they ganged up on him basically.
And they said, you know what, Steve,
you're such a mongrel and no one likes being around you
and your people skills are so bad
that as a board, we've created a new position for you.
And here it is.
And they created a position for him
where he had absolutely nothing and no influence.
And they just put his desk in the corner of the room
and like, that's you, Steve.
Like, cause you suck.
Like everyone in his own company was like,
you suck and you're just bad to be around.
You're no good.
And they created this role where he had no job
and just like, there's your desk,
go and sit over there if you want to.
If you have to come to work,
go and sit over there and don't annoy anyone.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, how's that?
Steve Jobs, who's, you know, like such a hero.
But then, so he was like, well, stuff you guys,
I don't want to, he's like, I don't want to be here,
like, this sucks.
And so he left his own company, right?
He left his own company and he went out
and he founded a new company.
He founded that new company.
It's an animation company.
Oh, I'm trying to remember.
Give me one second, I'll pull it up.
But he founded this new company and he got busy
and he dealt with his own issues.
He dealt with his own issues.
He went and did a whole lot of Pixar.
That's what he founded, Pixar.
So he went and set up Pixar Studios.
And then, eventually, like,
because he did a lot of work on himself,
transformed himself, and then Apple came back to him
and said, hey, bud, you know, about that desk in the corner,
never mind about that,
hey, would you come back and be the CEO?
And he ended up, you know, like taking Apple
where Apple could never have imagined going,
becoming one of the biggest companies in the world.
So that was, you know, failure, right?
You might step out, you might fail, you might have a go,
but it's better, you're so much better off
to jump out there, have a go, have a crack,
and never mind about the failure.
But you've got to be in the game.
You've just, you've got to be in the game.
And knowing that God has always got a plan,
knowing that God will always lead you and guide you
will just totally set you up.
But to get there,
you have to deal with your identity issues.
Otherwise, your identity issues just put you in a place,
you live in a cloud of fear and stress and anxiety,
and you're too afraid to actually step out and do anything.
Yeah, sleep.
Cool, cool, hey, George.
George, why don't you jump on and say hi?
Hi.
Good evening, everyone.
Hey, George, where are you?
I'm from Guyana.
Guyana, my man, that's so cool.
You just entered the talent quest, hey?
Yes.
Yeah, very cool.
That's great.
And so you're wanting to know
how do you step out into your music dynamic,
into your music dream?
Well, what have you got happening so far?
Well, album writing,
I'm currently putting together an album, yeah.
Yeah, I'm putting together some songs at the moment,
but, well, coming out from your comfort zone,
sometimes this be very difficult,
as in what God wants you to,
what God wants you to go,
and not ignoring that calling,
and willing to go and do that.
So that's what I'm trying to do as well, yeah, basically.
Cool, so here's the thing,
because your question really is about
how do you step out of your comfort zone?
Yeah.
um we'll probably make this the last uh question then i'm going to like play a play a video for
peace um uh yeah so so here's what i'd say for the for you george is the issue right of not being
able to step out of your comfort zone is an issue of willpower okay it's an issue of self-control
it's an issue of that ability to you know to make a decision and then just to do whatever it takes
so a friend of mine asked me this question and he said you know what's the secret to getting
whatever you want would you like to know the secret to getting whatever you want george
yes i would love to okay the secret to getting whatever you want in life
is and i'll just i'll pause there you know ephesians 3 20 said god is says god is able to
do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that we have ever did to ask dream pray think
or even imagine so does what you want exceed that
yeah so basically that is god giving you a blank checked dream it's like go for it dream dream
and go for it so you know some 37 verse 4 says delight yourself in the lord and he will give
you the desires of your heart so god wants the fruition of your dreams more than you do usually
you know if you if your dream is to be a mass murderer maybe not you know he's probably not
so into that you know but majority of the time right if you take care of the delight yourself
in the lord path if you you if you're in that place you know if you're in that place of delighting
yourself in the lord he's going to take care of the character issues um for you so you get into
that place the key is for you and hi evelyn good to see you jumping on board um but the key is for
you to jump into the place of delighting yourself in the lord yeah right and then he's going to take
care of the character issues and things like that and after that he wants you to dream you know what
are the desires of your heart like get busy dreaming get busy pushing the limits get busy
um imagining it and seeing it and you want to check out if you haven't seen it in the master
class group yet you want to check out the um the video that i did um just a couple of days ago on
building in the spirit as well that's a real key there's four keys to building in the spirit that
you really need to know so check that out because that's more like that's more important than like
it's actually the the foundations to co-laboring with god is building in the spirit so you want
to know that but now let's get back to this question right what's the secret to getting
whatever you want in life who wants to know that secret what's the secret to getting whatever you
want? yeah joss is keen she's got two hands up george has got two hands up yeah
but we want to know that we want to know the secret to getting whatever we want so
everyone's keen on this one the secret to getting whatever you want george is to do
whatever it takes welcome susan all right now that is actually the secret that will that'll do
the that'll do the trick but most people hear that and go wow that's awesome and then you know
what they get nothing you know because most people don't have what it takes to do whatever it takes
to get whatever they want so so the the thing that you have to figure out is how can you get
the strength to do whatever it takes to get whatever you want and the way that you're going
to get the strength to do whatever it takes to get whatever you want is by doing hard things
so pretty much when anyone comes deeper into any type of training with me nowadays
or any type of coaching or anything like that my answer is do hard things
and how often should you do hard things and how hard should the hard things be as hard as possible
as often as possible that's how often you should do so you should do hard things every day not
just one or two things like do as many hard things as possible as often as possible this to me is
the most important element of all discipleship is do hard things why okay here's here's why
doing hard things is the single most important element of any discipleship process because
the greatest gift the greatest asset that god has given anyone is their free will right your free
will your sovereignty your free choice your ability to choose your ability to make decisions
or your self-control all that's called your willpower here one timothy says god has not
given you a spirit of fear
but a spirit of love and power and self-control, but some people are like we can lose our self-control,
right? If you're not in control of yourself, who do you think is?
If you're not, God's not trying to get out there and steal your self-control, right? So if there's
anyone taking your self-control, if there's anyone you're handing your self-control over to,
it's going to be a satanic entity. So that's not going to work out for you, is it? So if you don't
have self-control, you're in a really difficult place where you have given your self-control
to a satanic entity and become your own worst enemy. So if there's anything that you need
to take back control of in your life, it's your own sovereignty, it's your own self-control.
You need self-control more than you need anything else because self-control is the same thing as
willpower and it's the one element, it's the one force in the whole world that can
change everything in your life. It's your greatest asset. Without willpower, you can't change anything.
Without willpower, nothing is possible, but with willpower, anything is possible.
And the way you build willpower is by doing hard things. So what would that look like if
something looks like it's out of your challenge, out of your comfort zone? Do hard things, George.
Get out of your comfort zone. How often? As often as possible. How many times?
How far out of your comfort zone? As far as you can. Get as far outside of your comfort zone as you can
and as often as you can and what you'll find is there you will grow and the most important thing
will grow and the most important thing that will grow is your willpower, your self-control,
your ability to exercise your own sovereignty, making the decisions over your own life.
And listen, this generation loves to avoid pain, loves to avoid hard things,
loves to avoid hard conversations, loves to avoid hard things. And why is that so bad? Because every
time you avoid hard things, you give your sovereignty over to a satanic entity that
will control you if you won't control yourself. It will control you, it will imprison you, it will
enslave you. So if you don't take back your sovereignty, then you become a slave. It's like,
I have sometimes had this picture of a person living in a castle and the castle is run down
and the castle is overrun, the walls are crumbled down and there's this person in the throne room
in the castle, it's totally dilapidated and they're in there chained as a slave. But who is that
person? That person chained as a slave in this castle is us. And where are we chained up? We're
chained up as slaves in the castle that we're supposed to be ruling and reigning as a king,
supposed to be ruling and reigning in power and love as kings
over the castle, over our own lives. But when we hand over our sovereignty,
we get enslaved in the very place where we're called to rule and reign.
So the solution is do hard things.
There you go, George, hope that's helpful mate.
Thank you.
Welcome, it's more profound than you realize. You change your whole life. If you can master that
one thing, you can master anything. For me as a parent, this is probably my number one
concern, is that I get my kids to do hard things as often as possible, as hard as possible.
And I grew up on a market garden, so that was easy for my dad because we had a million jobs.
But right now we're living in town and I'm like, what jobs am I going to get? I've got a lawnmower
guy, there's not many other jobs that need doing. They can do the rubbish and the dishwasher. And
I'm like, I'm going to flip. Whereas when I grew up, we had a million jobs. We had 12 acres of
organic market garden that needed to be weeded by hand, planted by hand, fertilized by hand,
watered, plowed, craziness. So we had no shortage of, harvested, we had no shortage of jobs,
it was relentless. And so my life was just hard things. Didn't matter the weather,
didn't matter how late it was, jobs had to get done on the farm. So we just did hard things
all the time, my whole childhood, just always doing hard things. But I realize now,
that's probably the one thing that set me up in life more than anything else to actually live
my dreams. And I didn't even realize it. I actually spent a long time psychoanalyzing
myself asking, what was it different about myself and all my peers, where very few of my peers
is actually managed to step into the things of God, actually managed to step into their dreams.
What was different? The difference was as a kid, I just had to do hard things all the time,
and it built my willpower, built my sovereignty, built my ability to make decisions, built my
ability to take risks, built my ability to have willpower to change my circumstances.
Josh is giving the thumbs up on that action. Cool. Hey, well, who thinks it's a good idea
to disciple nations? Yep. Yeah, Doug's in on that. I think it's a great idea.
And my heartbeat, like, this is the thing that I want to do so much. And a lot of it comes back
to this dynamic of, you know, like, I want to figure out what God's doing and then get in on
that. Psalm 27, verse one, unless the Lord builds a house, the builders labor in vain. So it's not
so much like when you're deciding the direction of your life, I think you want to first figure
out what is God doing in this hour, and then figure out how you can get on board with that.
Because if you do, you're going to have the momentum of heaven, you're going to have the
favor of God instantly on it. You're not going to have to be praying and begging God, hey,
God, can you please bless what I'm doing? You don't have to pray like that. If you figure out
what he's doing, and then back there. Because he's like, man, I'm already I'm all over that.
I'm all that. No, no, he's already over there. So. So that's why I've been like, God, what are
you doing? He's on discipling nations. What are you doing? I was like, well, I guess I'm doing
that. And that's what I want to do. I want to do what you're doing. So for us, discipling nations
is where it's at. And that's out of this cool encounter with Wisdom that I had,
we created a company called Raising Royalty that exists exclusively to be a part of this process
of discipling nations. And there's three key ways that we do that. It's through discipleship,
through missions and through kingdom business. So we help people. The cool thing is we've been
able to serve over 50,000 people so far just this year. We've been able to help over 150 people set
up businesses, kingdom businesses. We've been able to help set up a child sponsorship program,
support anti-human trafficking work, support persecuted Christians, start a missions base
in South Africa, start a kingdom clothing line, start all sorts of stuff and impact tens of
thousands of people. And yeah, so it's really exciting what we're doing. And I want to share
with you guys now a six minute video. And this six minute video is just kind of really,
this six minute video is an introduction to a larger presentation called the Movement Maker
Presentation. And in the Movement Maker Presentation, what I do is I share with you how we have
started bringing together a group of people to Disciple Nations. So if you're out there by
yourself thinking, yeah, I want to Disciple Nations, it's going to be real difficult,
going to be hard, hard, hard work to do that by yourself because you're not designed to do it by
yourself. This is a team sport. Discipling Nations is a team sport and God wants us to be involved
in the team sport of Discipling Nations together. So we have created a really, really exciting
opportunities to be a part of raising royalties in a circle. And the inner circle is the crew
that's doing awesome stuff. The inner circle is the crew that's backing the talent awards right
now with a $20,000 US dollar cash prize. So the inner circle is the crew that is really,
of anything we do, they're the most in it together, most in it to win it to Disciple Nations
as a crew. And so the six minute video that I'm going to show you is an introduction to the
Movement Maker video. The Movement Maker presentation just kind of introduces that,
really what that's about, or really where that was birthed, but where this concept of Discipling
Nations, where I first kind of got it. And it was, it kind of birthed for me, the first time I really
started getting this was in Bangkok in 2008, when God first got me involved in anti-human
trafficking work and exposing the sex trade and what's happening there. And this is the first time
my heart really, really got broken for that. So I'm going to do a screen share now, and I'm going
to put on a short video. So bear with me, give me a second here, and let's light it up. Okay. All
right.
Oh okay, it's eight minutes, sorry. I'm about to share with you a true story. It's the backstory
that led us to this moment of divine appointment and it's a true story that I hope will become a
part of your story and this story reveals a strategy from heaven that has taken over a
decade to culminate into this divine appointment. It's the very moment of divine appointment that
you are standing in right now. I have to take you back to 2007 and I have to warn you that this
section contains shocking true content that still grips my heart to this day. I was supposed to be
the courageous leader of a missions trip into the darkest places but I was in a bathroom in Bangkok
in the deepest level of despair and hopelessness that I've ever experienced. That night we had been
serving a ministry called Night Light in the red light districts of Bangkok, Thailand and it was a
night that broke me like no other. That night we saw thousands of ladies from all over the world,
victims of human trafficking, trapped in sexual exploitation. I also discovered that the depths of
evil that were normal there included the sexual exploitation of kids and babies. Afterwards trying
to process it I lost all hope. That night the reality of the depravity and the brutality of
the giants of darkness all came crashing in on me. I was leading a five-month missions trip
through South Korea, Thailand, China, Burma and Vietnam and so far on this journey we had been
completely surrounded by chaos. We had been right by the border of North and South Korea
and heard the stories of North Korea's Nazi-style concentration camps that are to this day
the size of entire cities with populations of tens of thousands. We had heard of the horrendous
testimonies of victims who had lost their entire families to the government-led genocide in Burma
or Myanmar. We had seen and heard over and over how this chaos fused with poverty led countless
people into desperate situations. Parents were selling their own children. On the border of Burma
children and babies were being bought and sold for only ten dollars. A village near one of the places
we stayed on the trip had a gang come and kidnap a bunch of children and for some reason they
killed a little boy and cut out his heart and just left the body. It seemed that everywhere we turned
powerful forces of chaos and evil were operating unchallenged. There in the red light districts of
Bangkok we were face to face with the greed of those profiting from the chaos and the suffering
of those being exploited in the most depraved ways possible. All around us that night corruption
and evil were openly flaunted. There were politicians and police running their own human
trafficking rings. Huge international mafia syndicates were operating in plain sight and not
only was this evil unchallenged it was being celebrated as if it was one great big party.
As I tried to process all this chaos everywhere I turned in my mind all I saw was darkness
on such a scale that it crushed me. At the same time I was in one of the most intense spiritual
battles of my life as the giants of darkness surrounded me mocking me and declaring that
there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop them. An intense cloud of spiritual oppression
swarmed around and around inside my mind. In the context of this heavy spiritual attack
I ended up coming into agreement with these mocking voices of the giants of darkness that
were declaring that there was nothing I could do, that I was insignificant, that I was irrelevant,
that they were far too mighty for me to make any difference. I fell into agreement with them
and I fell into despair. Then only moments after the darkness flooded in and my hope was completely
put out I felt myself overwhelmed with despair and then in that moment I had one of the most
life-defining encounters with God that I have ever had. It set the course for the rest of my life.
It was that God encounter all those years ago that has led us to this moment of divine
Wait a minute, flashing into my darkness and despair,
a light penetrated my mind.
I saw an army, a movement of giant slayers
being raised up to bring down the giants of darkness
in the nations.
God was raising up this movement
to bring down the giants of darkness in the earth.
I instantly knew God was calling me to raise up an army,
to spark a movement that would bring down
the giants of darkness.
In an instant, I went from the deepest place of despair
I've ever known to having my heart set ablaze
with pure passion and with a vision worth dying for.
Hope not only returned, I was completely set ablaze
with a passion to begin the quest of a lifetime.
It was a flame that has burned true to this day.
And even right now, it blazes within my chest
as strong as it ever has.
With a burning heart, I set out on an impossible task
to raise up an army, to spark a movement of giant slayers
that would bring down the giants of darkness in the earth.
I set out to spark a movement that would outdream darkness,
a movement that would silence the sounds of horror
and injustice that rise before the throne of God.
A movement that would dare to believe
for God's wildest, most wonderful promises
of ruling and reigning and power and love,
of living in the greater things that Jesus promised
and of discipling nations together.
It was a seemingly impossible quest
to start from scratch with just a dream.
And I set out to lay down my life for the call of God,
armed with little more than a passion to dream with God
and to run after my wildest dreams.
I still have my weaknesses and issues right now,
but back then they were multiplied.
I had a lot of mess going on in my life at that time,
but despite my mess, I said yes to the call of God
and began the quest of a lifetime to be continued.
I locked the full version of the movement back in now
to find out what God did next
and discover how the secret strategy that God gave us
can now help you launch into your calling
to disciple nations.
I look forward to seeing you in there.
Ta-da!
All right.
How'd you find that?
Yeah, that was a really intense season in my life
and one of those moments that really sets the direction
for just where you're gonna go with your life
and what you're gonna do.
And so that's really the heart of raising loyalty as well,
is to be discipling nations,
to be bringing down the giants of darkness.
But if you look at the size of the giants of darkness
that we are contending with right now,
you'll get crushed.
You get crushed if you just try and go alone.
And so what we understand right now is,
there's a kingdom business dynamic of it.
And most of the people that are jumping on board
aren't crazy wealthy people
because they can invest in things
that are hundreds of thousands or millions.
But we're just talking about small investments
to get people going,
hundreds of dollars or a few thousand dollars
or something like that
to get people going with a kingdom business.
So from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand dollars,
people can launch something.
But the cool thing is, is that we're all standing together.
And by standing together,
we've been able to come to the space
where we're influencing tens of thousands of lives.
So if you look around the world right now,
that the giants that we're facing,
you know, the media giant,
now that thing's out of control.
That's hectic, right?
So the strength there is a few people
with masses of money, right?
A small group of people with masses of money.
Well, here's the thing,
like we can actually flip the script a little bit
by bringing together a movement.
If we get masses of people to stand together
with small amounts of money,
we can actually start flipping the script
on some of these big things.
And so what we're doing is we're putting a call out
to passionate Christians around the world
who might have a few hundred dollars
or a few thousand dollars that wanna put into something.
something that will actually generate income for them and at the same time as generating income
for them also bring down giants of darkness also help people step into their wildest dreams so
dealing with those three big issues that we've been facing and dealing with which is the
you know identity people need to step into their royal identity of sonship people need to step in
you know don't have vision skills they need vision skills need to learn how to build in the spirit
need to learn how to actually have practical skills to make their dreams happen and they need
to understand royal economics right to shift things up to go from an orphan poverty slave
culture and mindset to actually a royal dynasty with their families becoming a multi-generational
legacy of blessing for the nations so um so for anyone who's in that space like yeah man I would
love to jump on board I'd love to know more I'd love to figure out how I can be a part of something
where you know we're standing together you know we were just a handful of it was just me initially
and then it was you know dozens and then it was you know over 100 and now it's over 150 people
who are all standing together but it's building it's going strong and it's uh it's really exciting
we're able to bless marriages we're blessing parents we're blessing missionaries um we've got
all sorts of things happening so if you came to know more about that and like what we're doing
is growing and expanding all the time and we are aggressively investing we're investing in this so
aggressively it's crazy god's really caught us just to build hard and fast so we've been taking
a lot doing lots of big moves to build massive stuff so we've got heaps of new content heaps of
new things coming up the seven sacred pathways to intimacy training is about to come out and
we're excited like our vision for that is to take at least 10 000 people through the seven sacred
pathways to intimacy training and we've got scholarships for christian education that are
helping people you know like our online school of sonship get lifetime access to that for 37 bucks
it's normally 1497 us dollars we've got a scholarship making it available for 37 dollars
to people so there's lots of ways that we're serving helping people um we've got nearly 500
people in the online school of sonship um already just had over 100 people join just recently um
and so it's building it's growing this real momentum on what we're doing god's really
breathing on it and we're really excited to be shifting culture and what we're seeing as well
one of the things that we've seen it's a major issue is that churches are hearing about sonship
but not understanding it so there's a lot of pastors around the world right now who are preaching
sonship and they don't get it right they don't they're not walking in sonship but they're just
hearing that sonship's the new thing that god's doing and they haven't understood it took me 10
years of intense research to get my like to actually walk in sonship so you can't just hear
about sonship and then start preaching sonship without actually going on a real deep journey
into it but what you're getting right now is so many pastors that are hearing sonship's the new
thing that god's doing and it obviously is and they're feeling like this is it but they haven't
actually walked into it so all they can actually do is repackage the orphan material that they had
call it sonship but they're just repackaging the same orphan content and calling it sonship
so people are getting put off sonship you know so it's like oh no this is terrible it's the one thing
it's actually inoculating people against the one thing that they need right now more than anything
which is sonship so what we're trying to do is reach masses of people as fast as we can and be
a part of what god's doing which is sparking a viral outbreak of sonship and a viral outbreak
of dreams because that's what's going to disciple nations so that's what we're going after and
what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna put this in the comments i'm gonna put this
i just realized just then that uh it's in the email that i sent out but uh i'm gonna as soon
as i wrap up this video in a second i'm just going to put this into the description
the website uh to go to if you want to check out the movement maker presentation so i just showed
you like the intro to that just then um but the movement maker presentation gives you a breakdown
on who raising royalty is i did it a few months ago um that presentation it took like a month
to script it and to film it and to do everything it took a month to kind of put that together
but we're moving so fast that there's so many new things already um out and about about what
we've done in the last few months we've started so many new things so um one cool thing that i'm
offering right now for people is a um like there's four days five days so there's four days left on
this offer um but the first five people who jump on board we've got two packages a pioneer package
or an optimum package but if you jump on board with an optimum package the first five people
to jump on board with optimum packages i'm going to do a one hour sit down with you and talk
anything you want to do with sorting out your own vision,
anything you want, you can direct the conversation,
but we'll just have a one hour one-on-one together
getting your vision sorted, getting your heart sorted,
wherever you want to go.
We'll do an hour at your kind of direction.
And then I'm also going to give anyone
who signs up in the next four days, just $200 off.
So some of the offers that we've got,
they're only really a few hundred bucks.
So you get a couple of hundred bucks off, a few hundred bucks
because it's off the discount that's already available.
So when you watch the movie maker,
you'll see that we're actually running
a crazy launch promotion right now anyway,
but I'm going to actually give people money
off the crazy launch promotion as it is.
So it's just amazing opportunity to jump on board
with something really exciting.
So that link is in the emails that I've sent out.
If you saw the emails,
otherwise I'm going to say goodbye in a second.
And that link will be in the description of this video.
So you'll be able to click that.
