When I was a kid, I used to love watching Dragon Ball Z. They used to break it down into different sagas. The Cell Saga, the Boo Saga. It was different sections of the show with a lot of different episodes in between, but it was like a major story arc. Do you ever think about your life like that? Like, if you go back 10 years ago, do you remember what saga you would have been in? For me, I would have just been ending the Iceman Saga, training and studying with Wimhof, the Iceman, to learn how to keep my body warm in freezing cold temperatures. But the biggest thing that I gained from that saga was my faith. I learned that God can do seemingly impossible things through anybody. Then I entered into the elevation saga where I found this church in Charlotte, North Carolina. Through this ministry, lives were being changed around the world and I wanted to be a part of that. In the middle of the elevation saga, I heard this sermon about the church giving away a lot of money to the people and encouraging them to go and bless somebody else with it. I ended up taking that message and teaching it to a group of people. I didn't know my future wife was in that group, but she ended up giving her life to Christ. Through that message, we would eventually come to know each other and get married. But that message also impacted me because during that saga, I felt like God told me, "One day, I'm going to give you the opportunity to trust me with your money and live off 10 and give away 90." I didn't know if it was God, but why would it not be God? Why would it be the devil? So then the giving saga began in the middle of the pandemic. I felt like God told me that with any new endeavor outside of my salary that I now have the opportunity to give away 90% of the profit and live off 10. When I got that feeling, I immediately gave away the 90% of the profit that I had from the Iceman stuff that was sitting in my bank account. And what's funny is the History Channel reached out to me and offered to do an interview on the Iceman stuff. I had published the Iceman book like almost 10 years prior and I got paid for that and I gave away 90% of that profit. So, it's like God kept giving these opportunities. I just remember one day God giving me the opportunity to help people through YouTube, people that feel stuck. I still get stuck, but God has always given me a way forward. And so, I want to use that gift to help other people find a way forward. So, that's what this YouTube channel is. And I started this podcast on this road to 100,000 YouTube subscribers cuz I felt like God told me to document the journey cuz one day there's going to be other people trying to do the same thing who are going to need some help too along the way. So, thanks for joining us in the giving saga, which also has YouTube in it. Just wanted to give you some transparency. The heart of us doing this is not because we want to be big on YouTube. We're doing it from a place of obedience. I was able to co-author a book on how people could do impossible things because God told me to research the Iceman. I was able to find my wife and build a family because God called me to a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I listened. And then in this saga, we feel challenged to give, but also show that God can do so much when we feel like we have so little. Sometimes I forget that there's someone like me on the other side of the camera that I wish could have talked to me back then. helped me realize there is more beyond what I was facing if I could just find a way to push through. God is with you even if you feel lost and is right now helping you find the answer. He is the answer and the only way to get to the next level is through him. Don't forget that. What saga are you in right now? Now can I be praying for you?
