What’s It All About?

What does it look like when a man's identity is stripped away—when a business collapses, a paycheck disappears, and all that's left is the still, small whisper of God’s voice?


In this unforgettable conversation, JR shares the raw truth of hitting rock bottom and how God used that very place as the foundation to build something new. From being a tech entrepreneur to leading Brushfires Ministry, JR walks us through the divine detours that revealed his true calling. You’ll hear how a psychometric assessment unexpectedly unlocked his God-given purpose—and how that one decision sparked a ripple effect now changing lives across North America.


Some Key Takeaways:

  • The surprising way God uses hardship to redirect us toward our true calling
  • How psychometric assessments rooted in faith are helping people discover their divine purpose
  • Why your church or small group could be the next brushfire God wants to ignite


🔥 Still wondering if it’s worth a listen? Press play and discover how your greatest disruption might just be the doorway to your destiny.
