A life well lived. Isn’t that what we want God to say to us when we arrive in heaven? Well, after a year and half of mentoring under Paul I have a lot more clarity on what that really means. I’ve never been part of a program so holistic that so easily morphed our spiritual lives, business ambitions and family responsibilities. Did I mention we even covered travel tips and how to date your wife? It was so fun and also very real. Each session was spiritual, organized, efficient, egalitarian and impactful. I cannot overemphasize how strongly I would encourage anybody who’s given the opportunity to be mentored by Paul.

In going through Paul’s program I was able to see things from a very unique perspective. I became aware of areas in my life where I was lacking true alignment and more importantly, learn how to make adjustments to address it. In addition to focusing on making decisions in my life with true alignment and a priority on God’s kingdom I became aware of the importance of planning and preparing for life’s most important events. I am grateful for Paul and his willingness to open up and share his journey and amazing life lessons. Paul is one of the most purposeful, generous and faithful men I have ever met. I’m proud to say his program made a positive life awakening impact in my life.

In my life I had mentors in business (President’s and VP’s) and mentors at Church (i.e. Pastors and my Dad), but rarely a combined perspective. I felt my unique challenges of being a follower of Jesus Christ, Husband, Dad with young kids, and business owner may not be relatable to others. I was praying for more Paul’s in my life who had walked this road successfully. It’s not easy to find a “Paul” as a leader taking on this role who pours a significant investment of time into others’ lives. Paul’s ministry is meeting this need, providing community with other Christian entrepreneurs who are in the same season of life. God uses this ministry to have “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens a friend's character.” Proverbs 27:17

Paul is an incredible mentor and any leader will benefit from sitting under his leadership. What drew me to follow him most was his ability to lead a successful business and simultaneously raise a family that to this day adores and cherishes him. Every topic we addressed was constantly balanced with work/life balance and I will continue to turn back to his material in the years to come as I lead my business and raise my own family. The questions Paul poses of “How Much is Enough?” really made me consider where I want to end up and what my real goals are in life. I appreciate him dealing with tough issues and not holding back on the points that are life changing when you really apply them.

I want to thank you and affirm that you have been a blessing to my wife, me, and our children. What I learned in your mentorship program has blessed us. One example of that was this past week when we finally presented our children with the “Kids Expense Letter.” They had a good response and appreciated having clear goals and financial boundaries outlined to navigate their futures. All three of our kids have individually saved well and are tithing well. We are so proud of what God is doing in their lives.

Thank you so much for sharing your life lessons. They offered some profound nuggets. So much so that I had my wife, Ann, read them so we could incorporate them into our family life. The world will be a better place because of your blog.
