Brainwashed To Be Broke

What to Do When God Goes Silent and Nothing Works w/ Devin Schubert


Listen Later

He had three months left to live. Then he turned down the treatment that could've saved him.

Devin Schubert spent years building churches and ministries before his whole life collapsed at once. He came home from a ministry trip to find his wife with her boss. He lost his marriage, his job, his platform, and half his time with his kids. An elder told him he'd never be allowed back in ministry because he was divorced.

Then it got worse. His son came to live with him full-time with severe trauma and aggression, and Devin spent five years and over $100,000 trying to find help the system kept refusing to give. The pressure broke his body, not just his spirit. Doctors told him his nervous system was shutting down from stored trauma. They gave him three months.

This is the conversation about what happened next, and what he learned about identity, story, and the programming most of us never question.

The turning points are wild. The night he prayed to die and says Jesus walked into his room and told him "it's not time yet." The moment he chose a four-month healing process over the instant miracle he wanted. The realization that hiding his accomplishments wasn't humility, it was getting in the way. And the line that reset everything: your identity doesn't come from the creation, it comes from the creator.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

- Why the story you tell from a place of pain plants pain in everyone who hears it
- How "never share a story you haven't healed from" can protect you and your audience
- Why he believes the child welfare system is designed around money, not kids
- How he hit 100 stages in 9 months starting from total burnout and debt
- Why relationship, not money, is the real currency that builds anything
- The branding lesson hidden behind why he wears orange every single day
