Family—let me talk to you straight. Technology isn’t just a tool anymore. It’s the new currency of influence, wealth, and power. AI, automation, digital platforms—they’re not waiting on permission. They’re shaping markets, industries, and destinies right now.
And here’s the tension: without ethics, technology becomes Babylon’s idol. With ethics, technology becomes Joseph’s storehouse.
The Market is Speaking:
Translation: this is not optional. This is not tomorrow. This is today.
Revelation for People of Faith in the Marketplace
Paul said, “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient” (1 Corinthians 6:12). Just because we can create it doesn’t mean we should.
AI in the wrong hands manipulates, surveils, and dehumanizes. But in the right hands—your hands—it can feed nations, build enterprises, preserve families, and multiply generational wealth.
For us as Kingdom leaders in the marketplace, technology is not about convenience—it’s about stewardship. Will it serve humanity or enslave it? Will it honor God’s image in people, or reduce them to data points? That’s the ethical line.
What I’m Calling You To Do
Call to Action
If you’re a career professional earning $75K+, a CEO of a mid-sized firm, an entrepreneur scaling your dream, or an investor positioning for legacy—hear me:
The next wealth transfer won’t just be about resources. It will be about who has the ethical intelligence, prophetic foresight, and strategic execution to steward the future.
That’s why I created Influence Me Institute. This is your training ground. This is where we sharpen your edge, fortify your influence, and align your faith with your strategy.
Don’t just survive the tech revolution—govern it. Lead it. Set the standard.
Your brother, your friend, your partner, your coach, your advocate—
