Shame has been weaponized against humanity since the beginning of our spiritual narratives. Even in the Garden of Eden story, shame was the first thing Adam and Eve learned from the tree of knowledge, creating the original separation between humans and their Creator. This artificial divide has been perpetuated through centuries of religious teaching that mistakes disappointment for discipline and shame for conviction.

What if God isn't constantly disappointed in us? What if we were created not to fall short but to discover and fulfill a divine purpose? Throughout this heartfelt sermon, we explore how shame functions as the primary mechanism of fear—one of only two fundamental forces in the universe alongside love. While love expands our consciousness and connections, fear through shame restricts our potential and disconnects us from our authentic purpose.

This profound exploration challenges us to recognize how institutional power structures have leveraged shame to promote conformity. When religious authorities suggest we might face eternal separation from God for not following their specific interpretations, they're wielding perhaps the most powerful form of shame imaginable. Yet this approach contradicts the concept of a loving Creator who formed the universe with intention and placed everything we need directly within us.

The spiritual journey becomes about removing layers of shame and fear that separate us from recognizing our inherent connection to the divine. Whether experiencing bankruptcy or financial success, our souls seek the same fulfillment that material circumstances cannot provide. As we chip away at shame through small daily choices, we begin to experience the freedom of authentic purpose. God is not ashamed of or disappointed in us—we are loved simply by virtue of being created.

Will you allow yourself to release enough shame and fear to see the wonder, freedom, love, and connection that surrounds you? May you remember the face of God smiling when he made you, and may the fire of your becoming burn hotter than the fear of disappointment in anyone.

What happens when the voice calling you to your true purpose becomes too loud to ignore? After decades of building successful careers in accounting and commercial construction, we faced a terrifying crossroads - continue down the path of material success or abandon everything to follow our calling.

The tension between logic and purpose creates a profound struggle many of us face. Society celebrates external achievements while overlooking internal suffering. We spent years trying to infuse our corporate work with meaning through nonprofit partnerships, but these were merely bandages on a deeper wound. We weren't living authentically.

During a pivotal conversation at a coffee shop, we finally acknowledged what we'd known for years - continuing to ignore our calling would lead to something devastating. Despite having six children to support and established careers, we dismantled our business completely to pursue what we've been called to do all along.

For Michelle, this meant becoming a sex and relationship coach, helping women overcome shame and improve intimacy in their relationships. For me, it meant spiritual leadership, working against the shame and judgment that keeps people separated from their purpose. Though our paths differ, we serve the same outcome: helping people connect more deeply with themselves and others.

The journey hasn't been easy. Letting go of prestigious careers means facing judgment and financial uncertainty. But we've discovered something profound - when you align your professional efforts with your human existence, something powerful emerges. The challenges become opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to overcome for material gain.

We believe that God doesn't call you to a purpose so you can fail or suffer. When you're listening to that voice inside and serving others, you end up exactly where you're supposed to be, and the resources you need are provided. Join us as we navigate this new chapter with courage, vulnerability, and faith in the journey ahead.

Fresh back from London, and I've got to share what this incredible city taught me about using artificial intelligence to finally seize your entrepreneurial moment.

Walking through London's historic streets—where legends like Dickens and Brunel built their empires—I had a massive realization: every generation gets its breakthrough technology, and AI is ours. The entrepreneurs who win are the ones who act while others are still figuring it out.

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I break down exactly how I went from construction worker to building TSG into millions using AI tools that are completely free and available right now. We're talking ChatGPT for instant marketing strategies, AI analytics to crush your competition, and automation that handles your busy work so you can focus on what matters.

I also share the story of a 26-year-old coder I met who was terrified AI would kill his app—until I showed him how to use it as his secret weapon. Now investors are circling.

If you're tired of waiting for the "perfect moment," this episode will light a fire under you. Your breakthrough is one AI tool away.
