If you've listened to this podcast for any length of time, you've undoubtedly heard us extol the virtues of Revel 77, our favorite coffee shop. So, when its existence was in jeopardy we stepped out and bought it. But that begs the question, "Why the heck did we do that?"

In this episode we'll attempt to answer that question, and show you why we're willing to put our money where our mouth is when it comes to walking out the prosperity principles that we teach.

Spiritual Foundations

Prosperity tends to mean different things to different people, but to simplify this I've boiled prosperity down to one acronym (you guys know how much I love these).

L.I.F.E. will help you determine whether you're living a prosperous life. Check it out…

Love what you do, and do what you love.

Invite God's presence into every part of your life.

Fight evil.

Empower good.

If you'll do those things you're living a prosperous life.

Tip of the Week

In 1879 Thomas Alva Edison created the first commercially practical incandescent light. I think we can all agree that was a revolutionary moment. Now Philips has created Hue lighting which lets you easily control your light and create the right ambiance for every situation.

When you experience a beautiful sunset, you realize that light can change your emotional state. Now imagine having total control over the light and color of your environment, bending it to your will so that it matches your mood…that's some pretty heady stuff.

Combine that versatility with the ease of access that a company like Alexa gives you and, my friends, you are gazing straight into the eyes of progress.
