Overview

Brenda Gentry shared miraculous healing testimony from her mother's London church and strategically counseled Gary about pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities versus traditional employment. The conversation revealed Gary's struggle between parental pressure for stable employment and divine calling for entrepreneurship, with Brenda advocating for faith-based business building through the Deep Fake technology opportunity with Brian.

Key Topics Discussed

London Church Miracle Testimony

• Mother's Healing Anointing: Brenda's mother healed a stroke victim in her 30s at their small London church

  • "My mom just went and touched her. She was so full of the anointing. And the lady just got up and started dancing"
  • Woman came in with cane, being helped to walk
  • Sister (a nurse) confirmed: "There's no way this lady could get up and start dancing"
  • Mother's prayer: "God, this lady is young... she's only 30. She should be able to move and enjoy her life"

• Small Church Revival Theory:

  • Brenda: "I'm thinking... the miracles, the signs and wonders that we were told about are happening in smaller churches because their church is really small"
  • "God is doing miracle signs and wonders. They may not be happening in mega churches, but they are happening in small churches"

• May Crusade Plans: Parents getting city license to do crusade at the park with Apostle

  • Mother already planning flyers and dual venues
  • Brenda: "Imagine you and Apostle together just laying hands on people"

  • Silicon Valley validation effect: "Once you've gone for fellowship or residency at Silicon Valley... other people will obviously want to"

  • "If you guys are paying for your deep fakes million dollars, we can do for 250k"

• Market Positioning:

Gary's Job Search vs Entrepreneurship Dilemma

  • Parents are retired with "nothing else to think about" besides Gary's situation
  • "All they ever wanted was just to have a stable life. And all they want is for their kids to have a stable life"

  • "I don't want to overwhelm them with faith related thinking"
  • Planning to submit few applications "just to appease my parents"

• Entrepreneurial Vision:

  • Brenda: "God wants you to be the billionaire... You can be a billionaire in five years versus okay, I'm gonna make someone else a billionaire"
  • "If you think as an entrepreneur, God's gonna open entrepreneurial work for you"
  • "You should be providing people jobs... Why can't you be that person?"

Faith-Based Business Philosophy

• Limited Thinking vs Kingdom Mindset:

  • Brenda: "The enemy makes people limit God. But God is God. We can't limit him"
  • "If you know that heaven has streets of gold, then you're short changing yourself just by accepting okay being a regular 9 to 5"
  • "He's already written it in our books... in heaven that I'm a billionaire. So why am I even short changing myself?"

• Speaking Into Existence:

  • "What you speak... how you think is what God opens up"
  • "I decree and declare that you're the one who should be providing jobs"
  • Gary's reframe: "I want them to be pleasantly surprised by something that they could have expected"

• Trust in Divine Provision:

  • Brenda's testimony: Left banking without prayer life for entrepreneurship
