Review Time
Just went through the real estate surge in Lansing. It was amazing! The knowledge gained is priceless. Could not sign up for classes at this time but will continue to follow this community so I can join in the future. Shawn's presentation was awesome! Cori was so knowledgeable and sincere. She considered my situation over a sale of the membership. She's a sweetheart.❤️ Also Troy gave his testimony and it was very moving. Brought lives to Christ and I am so blessed to have been a part of that class! Worship was wonderful and all the staff attending were so nice. God bless you all for all you sacrifice for God's kingdom!
I went to the Baltimore event. I was not satisfied with any reference to Charlie Kirk. He was not a fan to women of African descent. Too many speakers repeating the same things. Lots not nice and just plain rude - the man with the red shirt. Not enough food vendors. Poor air conditioning in the building. Hot! Not enough worshiping with songs. Few reference to the gospel. Too much marketing - Three times was too much. The greatest disappointment- Priscilla only talked for 30 minutes and last. She didn't need this forum. The people would have come out just for her. It was not what I thought it would be and I wished I would have researched the organization prior to attending.
LifeSurge breaks my heart and offends the Lord. Let me be clear: I do not believe in a scarcity mindset. God delights to give abundance to His people, and all who use their gifts to honor Him can bear great fruit--including financial wealth (as a tool not a goal).I attended a LifeSurge arena event for $40 (the top of the marketing funnel). At first, it felt like a worship gathering--moving music, famous Christian speakers, Kingdom language, and constant references to Jesus. Riding the emotional wave, the funnel tightened upselling classes for $97. Instead of following the crowd, I started reading reviews; many attendees experienced poor results or outright disappointment. The three 8-hour "training" days I attended tightened the funnel with upsells costing $25,000-$45,000.This type of "seminar circus" is not new. It began with Dale Carnegie in the 1930s-40s, continued with Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill in the 1950s-60s, then Tom Hopkins and Zig Ziglar in the 1970s-80s, followed by Tony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) in the 1990s-2000s. Today, it's been repackaged with Kingdom language in Jesus' name. The sales psychology is wolfy, worldliness in sheep's clothing.Here are the ten psychological triggers normally used:1. Authority & Credibility -- Famous names, bestselling authors, and millionaires position themselves as experts you must follow.2. Social Proof -- Rooms full of cheering attendees and testimonies create FOMO and conformity.3. Scarcity & Urgency -- "Only 20 seats left! Offer ends today!" to force rushed decisions.4. Foot-in-the-Door -- Small $97 commitment softens you up for the $25K-$45K upsell.5. Sunk Cost Fallacy -- Once you've paid, you justify paying more to avoid feeling you wasted money.6. Dreamselling -- Selling identity, freedom, and transformation instead of concrete delivery.7. Exclusivity -- Inner circles and elite masterminds feed pride and status-seeking.8. Information Asymmetry -- The details stay vague until you've already paid.9. Anchoring -- High prices make lower ones "seem reasonable." (LifeSurge skips discounts--they just demand $45,000 "without apology!")10. Identity Appeal -- You're not just buying a course--you're "becoming a Kingdom entrepreneur" or "real estate investor."The disclaimer says explicitly, "most people make no money." But they know most attendees will dismiss that warning like software disclaimers. If you are already a hard-core salesperson, perhaps you can succeed using their system. But let's be honest: if you aren't already thriving with your gifts, will giving them $25K-$45K truly change that? Or are you being seduced by wolves in sheep's clothing (Matt. 7:15)? They even arrange financing--pay them up front, then let a finance company lend you the money back. Jesus warned: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves" (Matt. 10:16).My heart broke as multiple attendees publicly confessed family members were begging them not to spend so much. One said, "I'm in a text fight with my dad right now." Others admitted they didn't want to tell anyone what they had done (fallacy #5). Buying into "Christian" real estate training for $45,000 is hard to explain without shame. To counter this, speakers repeatedly dismissed loved ones as "naysayers who don't pay your bills." That's not discipleship--it's manipulation. God does not call us to ignore wise counsel, silence our conscience, or disobey His Word just to follow greedy wolves (Prov. 1:23-33).I have lost respect for the famous Christian speakers selling their platforms to this system for $100-200K honorariums only to lead God's people into being fleeced. Scripture warns us: "From the least of them to the greatest, everyone is greedy for unjust gain" (Jer. 6:13). "Like a partridge that gathers a brood she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice" (Jer. 17:11). "One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth… will only come to poverty" (Prov. 22:16). Paul rebukes those who "peddle the word of God for profit" (2 Cor. 2:17).Do not be deceived. Jesus warned, "Many will come in my name… and will lead many astray" (Mark 13:6; Luke 21:8). If you are in Christ, seek faithfulness by faith, obedience, hard work, generosity, and trust the Lord to provide--not manipulative schemes wrapped in Kingdom branding. Don't be fleeced in Jesus name!
I and a friend both had wonderful, inspiring, uplifting-toward-Father God, Jesus & Holy Spirit experiences often throughout the event.The worship music & Christian testimonies strongly facilitated deep connections very often with our Amazing Triune God & with many other attendees through the Holy Spirit who was palpably present often, by God’s Grace!!!Tears of Joy often were present in the two of us & others around us.Teachings & testimonies & even music helped me to re-examine, once again, & grow in my being a good steward of the gifts of financial & health & servant-heart & ministry, that God has Blessed me with.I truly grew in love more my Triune God & with my fellow human beings, both Christian and non-Christian alike, through experiences in this Event by the Holy Spirits prompting & Gods Grace!!!I have already and will continue to recommend these events.Also, I Praise God for the Blessings that I received during & since the Event & also even prior to the Event by the incredibly OUTSTANDING assistance of Customer Service person Haley Santamaria who I experienced multiple times as having the Holy Spirit Shining Brightly through her!!!
I went to this conference expecting to learn about biblical principles for all areas of my life but what this conference is about them selling classes and software to buy and sell on the stock market it’s really sad they use Jesus to do it. If you’re expecting a Christian conference you will be disappointed. If you’re wanting to listen to a sella pitch then this is for you. I know their response will say they can’t verify that I attended the conference and I have a receipt from buying the tickets.
I am so disappointed with Life Surge in Grand Rapids. (1) The Host asked the audience to not record the event.(2) All money oriented on how to make wealth and glorify God.(3) The bait and spin is to pay for their wealth building classes.I was shocked to to Nick Vujicic at part of this. I understand that we need to work hard to survive, and Nick's story on the stock market and real estate is an amazing testimony, but he only spoke of this topic for a few minutes and spoke of his testimony and biblical message. After Nick it was all about wealth.(4) No Alter Call.(5) No Salvation Message.The speakers are all celebrities that are being paid for their public speaking. The praise music and Nick was the only thing I liked. (Nick looked a bit tired and winded. He's promoting his movie for next year. His speech seemed routine. Still... it was my first time seeing Nick.)Wow, I made a huge mistake.
A Crossroads Kingdom Experience. LifeSurge and its speakers and coaches are genuine. Their direction, teaching and mentoring come from personal experience. Do opportunities for wealth building and creation exist in the trading and real estate markets? Yes. How does one exploit those opportunities and go from where they are to a better financial reality for themselves and their family? How does one help others by solving problems and becoming a conduit of capital to kingdom projects? This is shared and demonstrated in the life examples, the math and the no nonsense presentation. People are presented with a financial, life altering decision throughout, but not with high pressure sales tactics. Will you or won’t you?Sounds familiar, a road less followed, like many, if not all decisions in our lives, especially those of faith. A very real challenge of the status quo, a substantial paradigm shift, uncomfortable at first, but not unfounded. Rather, a genuine departure from conventional, traditional wisdom that we (my wife and I) see as a better way forward.
