For anyone feeling stuck in life, you’re not as stuck as you might think.

Faith-driven investors/founders, I’m talking to you.

You are only transitioning from one season to the next.

What has gotten you to where you are in life won’t take you to where you are trying to go. It’s like a square peg ...

There’s a lot of baby Christians who aren’t in it to win it.

They got saved but never grew up spiritually.

They see pursuing success as pagan, not of God.

They haven’t figured out how to connect the dots between business, purpose, success and faith.

If you’ve grown out of your spiritual diapers,...

Many who watch what we are doing can’t understand why we are giving so much away for free.

We are simply multiplying time, something God has given freely to us.

We have taken what we have learned about faith, calling, rev-ops and investor readiness and multiplied it to make disciples, AKA faith-dr...

You cannot co-create with God if you are not collaborating with Him before, during and after each day.

Be intentional about entering into a two-way conversation with Him daily. One-way conversation is for windbags. It’s not a healthy relationship.

One Sunday morning I was preparing my message for ...

There are many talking (empty) heads who lecture us all about working too hard.

As if, when you work hard, somehow you will miss out on life, or time spent with your family.

To them I say poppycock. Be quiet, you clouds with no rain.

Like many of you I’m an entrepreneur. Serial. So I think about ...

Every faith-driven founder and/or investor will have to eventually pass this test.

If you are pursuing a God-planted dream as an entrepreneur, expect to be tested by God. He will allow adversity into your life. Every follower of Jesus Christ will experience this trouble.

The trouble with trouble i...

The spiritually blind, walk by sight.

But those who walk by faith, see.

Isn’t that an ironic truth?

God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day. (Romans 11:8)

>> But for us who walk by faith, we should be on a mission to release the bl...

We all have enemies, those who dislike us, or creeps who actively wish us harm.

And this makes them soooo stinkin' mad. 😂

I love it when God prepares a table for us right in front of our enemies. When our cup overflows with His blessings.

"You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies....

Two things that will make your life miserable.

- chasing wealth
- worrying

Do this instead …

- meet Jesus
- follow Jesus

You’ll find …

- forgiveness and love

- a new way of life

- total peace

- life without doubt, fear or worry

- a plan and purpose for your entire life

- a career path made j...

For most entrepreneurs going after the big dream, your identity is defined by your progress.

But for children of God, it’s different.

You become who He says you are The Moment you receive your calling. In that very moment, your identity is forever changed.

In Abraham’s case, He became the Father ...

For us, this is what it means to operate a faith-driven venture capital firm.

Our mission is probably not what you think.

It’s not about a couple of managing partners getting rich.

Don’t get me wrong, we have the power and ability to create great wealth and we are doing it at scale.

But our miss...

People become hopeless when this happens to them … when they become faithless.

I’m not saying when people become faithless they stop believing in God. They become faithless when they are unsure of what God will do for them. Then faithlessness develops into full-blown hopelessness.

When you have fa...
