    Luke Strochnetter from Hervey Bay is a speaker, entrepreneur, and leader passionate about helping people realise they are already called and already on assignment. Luke's worn a lot of different hats over the years - from running businesses to organising events anywhere from 10 people to over 11,000, and even serving on Telstra's Regional Advisory Council. It's taken him into all sorts of spaces across ministry, business and government. His journey started as a shy, bullied teenager full of fear, before encountering God at a youth outreach event. Since then, it's been a 13-year journey of healing, growth, and stepping into opportunities he never thought possible - including working with some of the biggest companies in Australia. Through that journey, Luke's come to realise that ministry isn't just a church stage - it's the sphere of influence God has already placed you in. His heart is to help people see that they're already called and already on assignment, living with purpose and leading with integrity in every area of life. This message is captured in his first resource, You Must Pass Go, a 21-day devotional, available for preorder now. Now based on the Gold Coast, Luke works with Wez Hone through Business GREENhouse and the Kingdom Business Movement. In this program, Luke shares his story with Wes Leake, listen in!Support the show: http://historymakersradio.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
