I Burned $10K in Faith... Was God Even In It?

Have you ever obeyed God, only to watch the results fall flat? No ROI. No validation. Just silence. In this episode, I share the raw truth behind a $10,000 decision I made during a spiritual fast—how it looked like a loss on the outside but became one of the most defining faith moments of my life.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • The backstory behind my bold decision to invest in the SOS AI app
  • How obedience led me to action—even in fear and uncertainty
  • The spiritual confirmation I received that challenged my logic and comfort
  • What happened after the investment—and why I’m still grateful for it

Main Takeaways:

  • Obedience > Outcome. You’re not behind—you’re being refined.
  • Fear doesn’t disqualify obedience. In fact, it’s often where faith begins.
  • Sometimes God asks for action not to produce fruit, but to produce trust.
  • Your identity isn’t in your results. It’s in your response to His voice.

This episode is a call for high-performing, faith-driven leaders to redefine how they measure success—not by fruitfulness, but by faithfulness.

If you’ve ever questioned whether obedience was worth it, this is the episode you need.
