Your Breakthrough Begins the Moment You Raise Your Hand
Almost 2 years ago, I walked into a conference in Nashville with more pain in my chest than I cared to admit.
I was burned out.
Bitter. Angry, if I’m honest.
On the outside, I was running a business.
I was “leading.”
But inside, I was operating from force, not power—trying to make things happen instead of surrendering to the process God was asking me to walk through.
What most people didn’t know is that pain wasn’t new.
It was 10 years old.
It started the day I graduated from Bible college—full of hope, full of fire, and completely unaware of what would come next.
I thought I was stepping into purpose… but instead, I found confusion.
My faith began to unravel.
I didn’t know what I believed anymore.
And when your identity has been wrapped in faith, it’s terrifying to feel like you’re losing it.
I wandered.
But even when I wrestled with my beliefs, even in the middle of my deepest doubt... I never lost the desire to help people.
That thread never broke.
And today, I sat in my hotel room after two of the most powerful days I’ve had in years… with tears in my eyes.
Because God showed up.
And He didn’t just show up in the room.
He showed up in me.
For the first time in nine years, I went back to church.
I didn’t expect much.
But the moment the worship began… I couldn’t stop weeping.
I was undone.
I felt something I hadn’t felt in almost a decade—His presence…
Undeniable, overwhelming, and healing.
A part of me healed in that service.
A part of me that had been closed off for far too long.
And as I stood there, with tears running down my face, I remembered what I told my clients again and again: Live events change lives.
This Summit changed mine.
Because it reminded me that I can’t serve from a place of brokenness.
I can’t lead if I’m still bleeding.
It’s hard to be great in business when you feel like crap about yourself.
The tactics don’t take root when the soul is dry.
You’ve got to fix the well.
If the inner world is off, everything else falls apart eventually.
At this event, I watched client after client raise their hand—saying “I need help.”
Just like I did a year and a half ago… in a room with Aaron Stokes, Michael Zeller, and Sharran Srivatsaa.
I remember Aaron saying something that shattered me in the best way:
“Your breakthrough lies just beyond your willingness to release your ego.” — Aaron Stokes
And that was the moment I raised my hand.
That was the beginning of my transformation.
Since then, I’ve had the honor of being led by incredible mentors and coaches.
God has brought people like Jen Cudmore into my life to help me rebuild, not just my business, but my heart.
And when we shifted from being a marketing agency to a sales training company… it shifted something inside me.
This isn’t just about sales.
It’s about transformation.
This past weekend, I got to serve our clients in a new way.
And I watched them experience powerful breakthroughs.
I watched walls come down.
I watched people choose to believe in themselves again.
But this is just the beginning.
Transformation doesn’t happen in a flash. It’s a process.
They’ll go home now and begin unpacking what was stirred up.
It won’t be easy.
It will be messy.
But it will be worth it.
To anyone who’s been walking through a silent wilderness…
To anyone who’s been questioning their faith, their purpose, their identity…
To anyone who’s been trying to “figure it out” while holding back tears in the bathroom between Zoom calls…
I see you.
God hasn’t forgotten you.
He’s not done with you.
And the moment you raise your hand… your healing begins.
Want to come to the next event that changes everything?
Raise your hand.
I’ll meet you there.
