Share Your Scripture

Episode SummaryIn the very first episode of Share Your Scripture, the host shares a raw, unrehearsed testimony of how he found out God was real and Jesus Christ radically transformed his life.From massive success as a top real estate authority and author of Short Sales Redefined, to an FBI investigation that destroyed his career… from wealth and ego to depression, debt, and even suicidal thoughts… this episode walks through the darkest valleys and the supernatural encounters that followed.Listeners will hear:The exact moment God met him at his lowest pointThe text message that confirmed God was speakingThe move from Chicago to San Diego with only $35,000 and no jobHomelessness, lawsuits, crushing debt, and near surrenderThe “666” sales moment that shook him spirituallyThe turning point through obedience, tithing, and full surrenderHow joining Awaken Church and committing to 10% obedience changed everythingThis is not a polished sermon. It’s a vulnerable testimony about faith forged through fire — and how surrender unlocked purpose.????

Key Takeaways1. God Often Meets You at Rock BottomThe encounter didn’t happen at the peak of success — it happened in depression, fear, and collapse.2. Coincidences Aren’t Always CoincidencesThe perfectly timed text message. The beach encounter. The repeated “Fisherman” theme. The revenue numbers.Patterns formed that strengthened faith.3. Obedience Precedes BreakthroughThe turning point wasn’t income. It was surrender. It was committing to tithe 10% — even while in debt.4. Provision Doesn’t Always Look Like ProsperityEven before “blessings” unlocked:Bills were paid.Kids had shelter.Survival was sustained.Looking back revealed divine covering.5. Your Testimony Is Your AssignmentThis podcast exists because of a calling: To be a “fisher of men.” To use influence to point people toward Christ.
