From Business Success to Life in Christ: A 40-Day Journey

The speaker marks forty days since launching this account and thanks more than 65,000 followers from Alaska to Japan, Australia to the Balkans, South Africa, Brazil, and Argentina. He attributes the growth to God's grace, saying he only wanted to share his return to God and connect with a few people on the same path. Until last year he worked as a coach and business mentor, earning over €20,000 a month while working four hours a day and traveling to more than forty countries over five years.

Despite the freedom, success, and money, he felt empty inside. When his son was born in January, he quit his business, stopped posting on his previous account which had 90,000 followers, and returned to God and his family. He describes the old account as his life before Christ and this one as his life after Christ.

He admits he initially shared only his faith because he feared showing the rest of his life would make people leave, but now he sees that everything, fatherhood, family, work, building a settled life, comes through Christ. He calls the audience brothers and sisters from different countries and languages walking the same path, united by Christ, and invites them to comment their locations.

    I love how the messages are delivered with calmness, and in a way I understood from the very first message when I asked about the sign of the cross. I'm from New York, and since my breast cancer diagnosis I have been gravitating towards those teaching me new things ✝️ God Bless

    Alaska 😀 Born and raised in Belarus 🇧🇾, studied in Poland. Thanks for these videos, I share them with my friends among the Aleut people on the Aleutian islands, where there has been no Orthodox priest for many decades and our True Faith has been unlearned. Thank You!!!

    I think I love the calming voice and the way the orthodox faith and each situation gets explained. I've enjoyed the content so much. Watching from Dallas, Texas. I was baptized an orthodox Christian at three years old, but have recently renewed my faith.

    Amen, following from Amsterdam. I do that because the Netherlands has NO place/respect for Christianity. I survived a divorce and the death of my parents ONLY thanks to Christ. Thank you for showing the path to Christ!✝️💙🙏

    I'm from Melbourne Australia. Thank you for calmly explaining things that others in our church and family just told us was the way it is. You are so blessed and I believe you were chosen by God to help those who want to understand the truth ❤️

    Thanks for sharing your journey. I've also had a homecoming to God that's been slowly building over the past three years. As a coach I've kept this part of my life separate, but I'd like to start sharing that side of me too. You're setting a beautiful example, thank you!

    I live in Luxembourg now, but I'm originally from Eritrea, East Africa. Finding this page made me genuinely happy, seeing someone share the Orthodox faith and traditions I grew up with. Back home, fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, the fasting seasons and our Church traditions were always part of our lives. Seeing them shared so far from home really touched me. It reminded me of my roots and made me happy our spiritual heritage is being kept alive.
