Christian Post routinely runs articles about actors and athletes who are “outspoken Christians”. I’ve never heard of these “celebrities” and they are always being persecuted for being “outspoken”.
Ooooo! Kingdom seminars with Kingdom impact which amount to little more than King-DUMB (with a "B!"). What I don't hear in all of this is any talk of serious positive outcome or benefit from all this foofaraw. What I DO see are people being jawboned for MONEY in the Name of the Lord™. And because God and Jesus and Faith are their buzzwords, it's all supposed to be A-OK.
But they can't sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. I have that on an option! 😉
Rather than taking financial advice from people with a religious axe to grind, they should listen to Warren Buffett. Learn how to identify value, then invest for the long haul. Buffett became one of the wealthiest people on the planet with that rather simple strategy, and he's an agnostic.
GRIFTERS: "This isn't about personal wealth; it's about God."
I certainly seems that Life Surge's personal wealth is what it's all about. If it isn't about $$$? Let them offer all they have to the Christian public without charge for any of it.
A good report from the Mother Jones article. However, it helps to put the name of the responsible individual up front, in the first paragraph where Life Surge is mentioned. It might read something like ... Life Surge, whose founder is Joe Johnson, a self-described “serial entrepreneur,....”
You'd think Life Surge could find a better "face" for their grift than an NFL player who had a single passable season and not much else before he took a very early retirement. Tom Brady he ain't. And Brady cheated.
It wouldn't surprise me if Tebow was clueless. I honestly don't expect a lot from many Christian "celebrities" when it comes to their understanding of their faith. Life Surge is just another example of "God talk" which is also used by politicians to take advantage of credulous believers.
There's a sucker baptized every minute.
I will hopefully save people a lot of time and money.
In the American system, there are four ways to get rich. I will list them in order of likelihood of success:
1. Be born into wealth.
2. Do crime.
3. Win a lottery
4. Get an education, choose the right job, work hard, and be extremely, extremely lucky.
Please wire 10,000 dollars to my account. Thank you for attending.
1 & 2 can go hand in hand.
#2 is generally how families get wealthy to begin with.

It wouldn't surprise me if the third-party lender charges exorbitant interest rates and gives Life Surge a cut of the interest charges.
Of course they would!
I wouldn't be surprised if the third-party lender of choice is owned by the same people as Life Surge.
Jeff Foxworthy being there is a disappointment. At least there's Trae Crowder.
I read all the names, where are the celebrities?

Rubes and their money. It always ends the same way.
The world is filled with Ralph Kramdens.
Life Surge? More like 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 than Life Surge.
Someone needs to do a Life Purge on these hucksters.

"This isn't about (your) personal wealth, it's about giving to God. Trust me bro, I'll make sure he gets it."
They're called sheep because they get fleeced.
When your 'christian investment' promo can't withstand objective reporting, it might be a scam. Eh, Jeff Foxworthy?
So, grifters with no real game or substance that need to prey on brainwashed Christians?
Remember why shepherds raise sheep.
Also, anyone who accumulates some amount of wealth can choose to give back/donate to great causes. No need to be a Christian for that.
