Episode 20: God Trained Me in the Trenches on Purpose

Send us a text

In this episode of Billionaire Discipleship, I break down a truth most people don’t want to hear:

Before God elevates a man publicly, He disciplines him privately.

This episode is a raw, unfiltered reflection on how God used the trenches the streets, survival, bad decisions, close calls, and painful losses to build discernment, patience, and faith that now applies to business, family, and leadership.

Using James 1:2–4, Psalm 144:1, Matthew 6:31–33, and Romans 12:19, I explain why trials aren’t punishment their preparation.

I share real stories from my past:

•Life-or-death moments in the streets

•Learning discernment the hard way

•How street wisdom became business wisdom

•Why forgiveness protected my future

•How faith gets louder when options disappear

This episode is for anyone who feels like:

•You’ve been through too much for no reason

•Your past disqualifies you from purpose

•God is silent in your struggle

The truth is: God doesn’t waste pain. He repurposes it.

Discernment kept me alive in the streets.

Wisdom keeps me alive in business.

Faith keeps me aligned with God’s timing.
