Video summary
Tony Gash is currently undertaking a forty-hour water fast, aiming to extend it to seventy-two hours while walking to meet his daily step goals, consuming only lemon water without sugar or carbohydrates. He explains that this practice heals the body by targeting visceral fat and eliminating diseased cells through autophagy, though he stresses that physical healing must be accompanied by mental preparation and careful attention to electrolyte balance before reintroducing food. Motivated by a family history of Type 2 diabetes and early deaths linked to sugar consumption, Gash advises listeners to consult health professionals and listen to their bodies rather than blindly following religious fasting examples without medical clearance or divine guidance. He also highlights the importance of individual dietary needs within marriages and warns against the dangers of yo-yo dieting, encouraging viewers to budget and save during prosperous times for future hardships, much like the biblical story of Joseph.
Beyond physical health, Gash addresses financial stewardship, arguing that even if banks are hacked or fail, governments will offset losses by printing money and raising costs such as gas prices and taxes, revealing the monetary system as a monopoly of recycled paper. He prioritizes spiritual wealth over earthly assets to avoid theft and aligns with biblical teachings to store treasures in heaven, while admitting his own struggles with managing money due to lifestyle choices like attending sports events. Drawing from Proverbs, he advises against co-signing loans, fleeing temptation, and avoiding violent environments, noting that the Bible remains relevant to modern issues like gang violence. He reinterprets biblical commands on tithing, asserting that honoring God through "first fruits" involves practical support for family and charity rather than mandatory church donations or transactional strategies for blessings.
Gash distinguishes between different callings in ministry, citing examples of artists who struggle with sin but still serve valuable roles, while admitting his primary challenge is financial stewardship which can hinder spiritual growth if misused. To help viewers navigate economic hardship, he promotes a "Recession Ready Course" designed to assist with income generation and financial management, urging single individuals with high incomes to support homeless families through fundraising while learning to say "no" to prevent depletion. He encourages implementing course lessons rather than just purchasing them, using social media strategically for growth, and overcoming fear and insecurity to achieve life goals. Ultimately, he invites viewers to share their testimonies within a year, emphasizing that money is merely a tool requiring careful management rather than an object of worship, and that true success comes from applying these principles in daily life.

Hey, hey, Tony Gash here.
I see I got 15 minutes of walking till I
hit 1 hour. Then I'mma turn around,
try to make it back to the car in 1
hour. Might be taking a little longer,
but want to pop on here. Y'all got to
forgive me cuz I'm out here at the
water,
but also
right by the road.
And remember,

Not sure if this here
headphone gonna work the whole time cuz
it gets disconnected. It got a shortage
in it. So y'all got to forgive me, but I
figure if I take it out, you definitely
ain't going to be able to hear me. So
please forgive me on that right there.
Hopefully if it come out, it'll stop the
time.
But finished our call today. walk and
talk. I can't walk while I'm talking on
the call, so I'm sitting still. But then
after that, I do my walk like I'm doing
now when I'm able to. Make sure you get
30 minutes of walking in every day. It's
one thing we pushing and promoting in
the Purpose Pushers community. Join us.

Walk in your purpose. figure out how to
build business around it,
figure out how to do it fulltime, and
that's our that's our goal in it. So,
wanted to share that with you. Now, just
popping on out here on here to holl at
you while I'm walking cuz it definitely
is a tough walk. And I'm on a I'm
fasting. So, I forgot what time it was.
Going on 11:00. So, right now I'm on a
water fast. So, I've had no sugar, no
food.
And
last night put a few rings of salt in my
hand
and had that lemon perfect no sugar
and had one of those last night just to
kind of help me on this liquid fast,
mainly water fast.
But um
doing this just to reset the body, give
a body a opportunity to
get some healing.
I'm starting to feel a little burning in
my stomach right now cuz I'm on this
walk. And so, you know, to get 10,000
steps in at one time, that is quite a
lot cuz it's two hours of walking with
no food in me. So probably haven't ate
in
24
36
probably going on
about to be
38 39
could be 40 hours already cuz I I didn't
track I forgot to see when the last
thing I ate on Sunday.
So definitely at about 40 hours,
I'll for sure get through 48.
The goal is 72.
And
yesterday felt good. Felt totally fine
because Sunday had a fueling day and I
didn't fuel on light food. I had pizza.
So, I had a meatlovers pizza from Pizza
Hut and had some Cinnab buns. Had a
couple of those, no alcohol on Sunday.
But, but I think I had a Coke. Yeah,
boy. I would live it, boy. You hear me?
So, when you live like that, sometimes
you got to flip it and you got to fast.
And so for me, what I'm going to try to
do is
a minimum of 36 hours of fasting to
start every week. I'mma do
personally
for like the first for like the next
four weeks. I would love to start the
week with a 72-hour fast, water fast,
and then
go into
just, you know, clean eating after that.
Clean eating, no sugar,
no alcohol. Sometimes if I'm out
socially or whatever, I may have to, you
know, have me a little drink. You don't
have to, but you know, when when you
drink alcohol and you out and everybody
having them a little drink, I just look
at it like being at a wedding or
something. But then after that, you got
to cleanse their body. But see, one
thing that the alcohol does is it stop
the fat burning, they say. Now, I don't
know how true that is, but
I mean, I know I won't be losing no
weight, so it might have some truth to
it. So, it stopped the fat burning, they
say. And
so, I'm going to cut that out. Cut that
alcohol out.
And recommend that to anybody trying to
lose weight. But even more so than the
alcohol, think the sugar. The sugar and
the carbs.
Those right there is real real killers
too. And that's you got to think like
you'll see some people they drink
alcohol, they live till 90, live to 100.
And then you see people who have too
much sugar, they'll die at 60, 55, 60,
65. like for the longest my family on my
dad's side, nobody made it past 65.
Just had a uncle make it to I think 71,
which is still very young, but he made
it to 71, but it was an unhealthy 71. He
he probably was blind
for the most part, like legally blind
for the last
5 10 years of his life. I can't remember
if he lost a leg too, but it just come
from not having and that's why I started
black &.com,
but probably just going to merge it with
the purpose pushers because the purpose
pushers get the same cause and a lot
more value.
But
that why I started it because both of my
parents have type 2 diabetes. And on my
dad's side,
none of his siblings, he's one of 12,
none of his siblings live past 65.
And so I'm like, man, this sugar is a
killer. And they all had type two
diabetes. And I remember both of his
sisters, he got two sisters and nine
brothers.
Both sisters had their legs amputated
and went blind and both died around 60
if I'm not mistaken. And it's just a sad
life to live. It's hard to live that
life. And I don't want to live that
life. That ain't what I'm trying to go
through. I don't want to go through
that. And so that's why I'm out here
walking. That's why I started the
purpose pushers to have a group of
like-minded driven individuals pushing
towards something greater than us.
And
it's going life, you know, it's going to
require a shift. It's going to require
more. It's going to require
a different level of grind, a different
level of intensity,
different level of commitment.
And that's what we working on. You got
to be willing to do it. Got to be
willing to put in the work. You got to
love yourself. You got to learn how to
love you. You got to learn how to do
what you called to do. You got to learn
how to
go to that next level. And so that's
what we pushing for, getting to that
next level.
and
doing what we got to do.
Next month,
thinking about doing a weight loss
challenge in the Purpose Pushes
community. do us a healthy weight loss
challenge
and you know doctor recommended type
diets, whatever your doctor say you
allowed to do and see who can get some
pounds off and have us a cash reward
and go from there. And so we yeah we
going to make that right there happen.
So, we're doing the purpose pushes.
Join us. We also going to have us a
some more cash rewards and give backs.
Um, each month
we going to be splitting up.
Right now, it'll be $500 to $600
amongst those on the leaderboard. The
leaderboard is for like your how many
posts you do, how many posts you like,
comment on, things like that. You get
points
for your interactions. So, we're going
to be the leaderboard will be splitting
that up. So, I'm going to make that
announcement.
Going to be splitting that up,
blessing people. And so, we making it
happen. And I'm just praying to the Lord
for more. ideas, more creativity to
support those in the Purpose Pushers
community,
and gonna keep on grinding.
But hey,
it's time. It's time
time to get right. So, I'm going to try
to do this fast. Now one thing about
fasting that you have to realize is
it really
it heals your body
but what you really need the healing in
is you need the healing in your mind
because
you could heal your body but if you
don't heal your mind
or you going to suffer
and what I mean by that is you will
fast. Let me see what the time is. I got
to turn around. 4 minutes. Turn around.
You'll fast.
And then
when you come off that fast
and you reintroduce food, for one, if
you reintroduce too heavy of food, it'll
have you on that toilet
cuz that body go to acting up. Now, for
two,
you'll start to overeat.
So you could fast
24
24 hours don't fast don't really do you
a whole lot of good. You really got to
it does something but you really got to
try to get to 36 if your health will
allow it. Talk to your doctor though cuz
everybody can't do it especially women.
Fasting is very tricky for women. So
that's mainly for men but women can do
it too. And people always point to the
Bible like, "Oh, Tony, the women in the
Bible fasted, whatever." But they were
under the anointing of God. They was
under
a divine covering.
You can't just go into that type of fast
coming off your dildo, coming off all
your sugar, all your red wine, all your
fried greasy food, all your snacks of
deb cakes and red velvet. You not those
women. That's that's why they in the
Holy Bible. The story not in the Bible.
So you can't just see something in the
Bible and be like, "Oh, I'm just going
to do that cuz that's in the Bible."
That God was with them in a different
kind of way. So you got to be smart. You
got to talk to your health professional
and you got to know what you doing. John
the Baptist and Jesus fasted 40 days, 40
nights. I want to do that. But I but
they was out by theirel. John the Bapt
was eating uh locust and wild honey. So
they was out by theirel.
I'm dealing with y'all. I got to film a
video today. I probably got about 10
sessions on the book that I got to try
to figure out and move around and try to
move people around cuz open my coaching
calendar which you better take advantage
of it right now. the coaching discount
on my mentor.life,
but I opened my coaching calendar
and
I already had people on my other
calendar. So, now I'm double booked on a
lot of hours. So, y'all look out for a
text from me if I have to text you and
move you around. But when I open that
discount, well, I get booked up, which
it just let me know that's where people
pockets at right now. I talked to
somebody yesterday who make $200,000
and I got other clients that make
$400,000, 500,000 and they don't book a
session until
it's hundred and something dollars and
cuz they say they prove it and they got
a budget and even though they make that
much money, they save all their money
and paying student loans or whatever it
may be. So it's like imagine that if
people who make hundreds of thousands
wait on a sale, imagine the people who
only making 40,000, 50,000, 60,000. So
that's why I have to do that every now
and then, just to remain humble, remain
accessible. Yes, I say I'm going to
retire after every time, but the Lord
called me back cuz that's what I'm
called to. So if you could touch the hem
of Jesus garment, then who am I to not
be accessible? And so that's how I look
at it and what I think about every time
I say I'm returning. It's what the Lord
called me to
man. I don't walked an hour.
Now I got to walk back an hour. Boy,
this hour going to hurt me. Lord Jesus.
I really hope y'all can still hear me.
But this a very old cord I got. So it
got a shortage in it. But guess what?
It's going up regardless cuz you know
what? Somebody it might be playing and
just like speaking in tongues. You can't
hear me, but it's still God know what
I'm saying and it's still hitting your
spirit and you might be sleeping. So I'm
sure going f to upload the whole video
even the sound go out. So listen the
sound go out. Don't even bother telling
me
when the sound go out cuz I know it's
probably going to go out. If I do any
little jerk of this cord that sound
going out on you tell you that now. So
listen to me.
Something you got to do. Something you
got to do. Something you got to get
done.
And you got to start loving yourself
because
you got you. Your life is up to you.
Your life is going to be what you make
it. You can't
change nothing if you unwilling to
change. If you unwilling to work, you
got to be willing to put the work in.
Point blank period.
It's not going to be easy.
It's not going to be
fun,
but that's the point. It's not meant to
be easy.
It's not meant to be fun.
It's meant to be hard. It's meant to
challenge you. It's meant to test you.
It's meant to push you. Let me tell you
something real quick about this walking
though. And we going to get back on that
fasting. But let me tell you something
about this walking is people say, "Oh,
w,000
steps behind my knee, behind my left
knee. feel like I don't pulled a tendon.
And I'm relatively healthy and I'm not
I'm obese on the scale based on the BMI
because of my height and my body weight,
but it's because muscle weighs more than
fat and I'm more muscle than fat.
So, I'm probably 85 80 to 85% muscle.
And so
that right there
it weighs more. So I'm so I'm heavier
than I look because of you see that old
thigh. You see that muscle right there
on that thigh? See that old calf.
So got a little bit more on me than I
look like. Got them running back thighs.
Now
I was skinny when I was running back in
college. But nine, if I had the body in
college that I got nine, if I would have
had the speed with this hill body, woo
woo, I'd have been an NFL running back.
Yes, Lord. I would have been an NFL
running back. But I was 160 lbs. Now I'm
like 200. I get up to 215. Might be
around 200 right now, especially with
this fasting. But I'mma tell you, so
yes, walking does hurt.
But with this fasting,
the key is that visceral fat.
The visceral fat is that fat around your
organs.
And you don't start to move that
visceral fat
until you hit 36 hours of fasting. Now,
see, here's the thing that a lot of
people don't realize is like, okay, when
you fasting,
yes, you going without food. But if you
need electrolytes,
then you get you some electrolyte.
Get you some electrolytes.
You know, if you need you a little bit
of MCT oil,
get a little working on that stomach.
Now, it ain't going to fully MCT oils
when you coming off the fast, but you
got to listen to your body. So, when you
first start fasting, you may only be
able to do 4 hours, then you might do 8
hours, then 12 hours. Your meals
supposed to be 3 to 4 hours apart
anyways, and you're supposed to stop
eating 3 to four hours before bed. So
start with your 4 hour fast. If you
ain't if you eating every 2 hours, then
do your 4 hour. Then get to your 6 or 8
hour. Then get to a 12 hour. But see,
the thing is when you know you going to
fast, you need to prefeed the day
before. Make sure you eat the day before
and you didn't ate all your meals. So
now your body got something to burn.
And then after your body burn through
that food
that it can use, whatever it can't use,
it's going to come out of you and waste,
number one, number two,
hopefully not number three, or number
four, but it's going to come on at you.
And then once your body burn through
that food
and you get into that autophagy,
now your body going to start burning
that fat. And when it start burning your
fat and it start burning that visceral
fat, it start to move it. It start to
eat on it. It'll start to chew on that
visceral fat. You got a lot of fat
around your organs. And a lot of people
be like, "Oh, I can't go x amount of
time without eating." It's not unless
you got a health issue. Now, it's
different if you anemic or you got a
health issue. We ain't talking about
those extenduating circumstances.
So, y'all understand we already
accounting for y'all ailments. We
talking about just generally healthy
people. A lot of times what that
headache is is your sugar withdrawal
or if you're not having caffeine. That's
why I think a lot of people who fast,
they still have that black coffee
because see I don't need the coffee but
a lot of people is addicted to that
coffee. So they still have that black
coffee and it and it's going on that
stomach. It's burning that stomach up.
It's tearing that stomach up now. It it
it's definitely creating some stuff. But
I seen what made me go ahead and fast
this week. I saw a guy who
which I had been wanting to fast
anyways. But I saw a guy he
had an ailment
immune immune disease and he was
immobile. He couldn't walk. And he said,
"Man, I'm going to the doctors. They
don't know what's going on. They can't
help me." I ain't got nothing to lose.
I'mma just fast. He said he did a 10 day
fast.
He said by day four something he said
went away.
And then by day seven he was walking. He
was he was able to walk. Then by day 10
he was like completely healed. So that
fasting
that's really the purpose of it. that
fasting is said to prevent cancer,
reverse type 2 diabetes,
you know, things of that nature because
what it starts to do is eat that
visceral fat and it also starts to eat
up the bad cells.
It take your bad diseased cells. So,
like let's say a cancer cell that's a
precancer, let's say it ain't turned
into cancer, but it got the potential to
fasting attacks those cells and it'll
take that cell
and
burn it and use it for energy. So, it'll
eat it up to give your body more time to
live. So your body go through so many
stages before you starve to death,
before you die. You notice that's why
you see them little kids, they have a
little pot belly, you know, because of
the reaction or whatever. But they
probably get to the point to where they
start eating bugs, ants,
that might be what's swelling that
stomach up. But you see how they don't
eat for a while and they live
because of how the body work.
So you just don't fall over and die. Now
I'mma tell y'all what really hurt. What
really hurt is a dry fast.
If a dry fast is easy for you,
you're a monster.
You're a beast. If a dry fast, a 72-hour
dry fast, if that's easy for you,
oh my goodness, you built different.
You're a green beret. You need if you
ain't turned 42 yet, you need to enlist
in the service. You get you some money.
You get you some benefits. You need to
be a Navy Seal reserve. If a 72-hour
drive fast is easy.
And hey, I ain't 42 yet. I might list. I
might enlist. Y'all get me some
benefits. Might enlist. Be me on
reserve. So y'all Hey y'all, if y'all
see me in there, I might go on in there,
get me some reserve, and it'll be my
luck. I've been lost my darn life. He
been sent me over there to the war like,
man, come on now. I tried to come in
here and get the easy life now. I want
to get some of that VA loan now. Get
give him some of them benefit.
Come on now. Get in there and pull a
hamstring, get that check every month
now.
But this I think they say you can enlist
till 42. I'm sure might hop on in
get in there.
Some of them benefits. If y'all let me
know if there's anything I could do
without having to go to basic training,
just enlist and just start working on
the computer doing something.
But
got a lot of clients in the service and
they live normal lives. I'm like, what
you doing in Ohio,
North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia?
I thought you supposed to be in Iraq.
You in that service. Thought you
supposed to be in Afghanistan.
you over here in the States going to the
office and coming home at 5:00 5:30
need that job there. So yeah, listen to
me.
It go to eating that visceral fat
and eating them bad cells. And I'm going
tell you, I stopped fasting because
like regularly because I came home and
my wife, she is anemic, so she can't
fast. So when I fast, we be on two
different like schedules and meal plans
because she can't fast with me. If she
was of normal health,
then we would be able to fast together
and push each other, hold each other
accountable, but she can't fast like
that. So she could have a coffee or
shake and last, you know, some hours,
but her blood sugar go to crashing, her
body go to crashing, and so I can always
tell when she hungry or she done went
too long without eating. She'll get real
quiet, real quiet and moody. And so, but
soon as she eat, well, she be talking
up. So, one of those things.
You got to know your body. You got to
know your health. Now, me.
I'm built different for some reason.
Like, my body could go a long time
without food. Like, even right now, it's
been 40 hours and I ain't even hungry
yet. You know, I could feel my stomach
burning a little bit because of this
workout. But when I get in the car, I'm
going have a regular water and I'm going
to have a lemon water, lemon perfect.
So, I ain't fully all out full-fledged
cuz that lemon perfect got a little bit
of vitamins in it. But for me, it's no
sugar. It has no sugar. It has no carbs.
It only got two grams of carbs. So, my
body not even going to recognize that
cuz that's only 1% of your daily value
of carbs. So,
so 1% is
1 g is 1% of
100.
So
2 g is 1% of 200. So basically they
saying the daily value is 200 gram of
carbs, which is a lot because on keto
you can't have more than 10% of that.
You can't have more than 20 grams when
you're on keto diet.
But all this stuff is hard. All this
stuff is complex.
Everybody thinks they know something.
And that's why we can't really share
what somebody else should be doing. We
can only share what we do and advise
other people to listen to their body,
talk to their health professionals,
and do what's best for you. because
you'll do somebody else dying
and end up dead.
So, you got to be careful. I saw a young
lady in the purpose pushers community.
She posted that she was going through a
lot in her body and she had went vegan
and the vegan was like messing her up
and her body was basically, you know,
falling apart like kind of dying or
something. she was saying to that effect
and she said I posted somebody in my
story which I didn't recall that but she
said I posted somebody in my story that
had to do with health and she said she
started following the lady and she said
she followed the lady for a year
before she made any changes and then she
made changes and she went to the
carnivore diet I think she said
and I tried that too I just get bored of
eating just all meat
And so she tried the carnivore diet and
it healed her body.
And so the thing is too with health a
lot of times
any change you make initially
benefits you because your body is doing
something different. So when I went
vegan for two weeks I lost 10 lbs. I was
excited about that. Another time in life
I went keto for two weeks. I lost 10
lbs. I was excited about that. To go
from 200 to 190 to where I could start
to kind of see my abs a little bit at
190, I was excited. But then when I went
back to my regular diet, not only did I
get back to 200, but I crossed 200 and
went to 210, which I had never been. And
the reason why the body does that is
because
it doesn't know when you going to starve
yourself again. So the body looking at
like, man, hey man, you cut me out a lot
of stuff now. Your butt been giving me
carbohydrates and sugar
and all of this. I done got used to
functioning with that stuff. Now your
butt want to go clean and you want to
eat all this, man. I'm losing weight. So
soon as you reintroduce that carbs or
well not even carbs cuz vegan eats carbs
but you know you reintroduce sugar or
you reintroduce meat your body f to say
hey
yes sir we f to tear this up we f to get
all this in our system all this going to
get
and we f to hold it on your behind
cuz your butt lazy. I know you don't
want to work out. So everything you put
in here, I'm gonna hold on to it because
I know you fa to come up with another
diet soon and try to kill me. And so
that's how your body go to react.
So it can't just be something temporary.
and A lot of times too, you know,
y'all can't see my body cuz you see my
face and my face will be puffy. Just
depending on the angle I slept at, how
soon it was I just ate. My body don't
really change, but my face will change.
If I done had too much sugar or too much
salt, if I haven't been in my sauna,
if I had alcohol, that'll show in my
face. So it'll look like I'm overweight,
but my body don't be done changed at
all. It just you looking at me from the
chest up and then when I go to fasting,
then y'all be commenting about my
cheekbone showing and this and that. But
the thing about it is is
it's all about too who you around.
So,
I'm around good food all the time and
I'm traveling. You want to try the good
stuff. So, when I'm traveling, man,
shoot. I love me some soul food. So, I
get into the little soul food
restaurant. I love to go to a blackown
establishment. And what they going to be
serving? Soul food. So, I'm eating fried
catfish or fried flounder,
fried grouper, fried chicken.
Then I got to hit that
bread pudding if they got it. Whatever
bread pudding they got, I got to hit
that. Got to have that mac and cheese or
collard greens. Good for you. Unless
it's too much salt. Got to have
them yams, them candied yam.
You see what I'm saying? So I take and
put all their weight right right back
on. But I'm home for a little bit right
now.
So,
got me a little bit of time
to reset. And here's the thing,
you
have to do it for you.
You can't worry about
Don't get too caught up on revenge body.
Don't get too caught up on
thirst trapping
fitness brand. Don't get too caught up
on that. Get caught up on your health
and wellness.
Do it for your health and wellness.
Do it because you want to do it. Do it
because you need to do it.
Do it because it's going to benefit you.
And I'm going to tell you like
especially for married couples,
one of the things is what we struggle
with in marriages and I've been coaching
marriages for a long time is like
especially when you different.
So if you work out a certain way and
your spouse work out another way, you
got to be okay with working out alone.
If you fast and you diet a certain way,
you got to be okay
with
fasting and dieting alone. And that's
one thing my wife has been good at. And
I noticed that about my dad wife too.
Like my wife, she go to her Pilates. I
don't do Pilates. She'll eat her little
weird food.
I don't eat that little weird food like
she eat cottage cheese.
She love the red pickled onion. She love
avocado,
like mushrooms,
mama cockake or whatever all that stuff.
Everything bagel seasoning like she'll
do that like avocado toast.
Avocado got cottage cheese in it. Got
that everything bagel seasoning. She'll
have some diced tomatoes or
onions.
All kind of little stuff. Sliced up
cucumbers.
Like she love a variety of flavors. Me,
eggs, and bacon. Some eggs,
some bacon
or some sausage. I'm good. I don't be
going all that other stuff. I'm a
warrior. We protein.
we meat. And so you got to be okay with
that. Like right now I'm fasting.
That's the bane of my wife existence.
She can't stand to think about fasting.
But I got to do it for me. And that's
what you have to do. Like you got to
realize that just because you won as a
couple, you still individuals.
You're not ancestral. You don't come
from the same mom and dad.
Hope you don't or the same bloodline. So
you got different blood types. You got
different things that's advantageous.
You got different things that's poison.
And you got to learn that for you and
your body. And you got to do what your
body can do. So with me fasting, guess
what? My wife, it's my wife birthday
week. Saturday.
Send her a blessing on cash out. Sheree
a Gaskins. Got a a in the middle for her
middle name. But so
it's her birthday. So I'm fasting.
Yesterday I ain't do no like workout. I
did sauna and red light, infrared light
therapy in the sauna
and did the red light probably two or
three times
and
then did the sauna
and I had no food. Had a black coffee, a
cold brew, black coffee, no unsweetened
and then some water. Probably like half
a gallon of water. I ain't drink too
much water cuz I ain't had no food. So I
would have washed out all my
electrolytes. You got to know know your
body. Can't drink a gallon of water when
you fasting cuz you'll rinse out all
your electrolyte. And so I drunk about a
half maybe a little more than a half
and three4s maybe. And so felt good.
Couldn't sleep because body kicked in
some energy. So it was time to sleep.
Body kicked in the energy. I was up
about 2:00. The body was ready to hunt.
So, finally went on to sleep. Body got
tired. Went on to sleep. I was going to
have me a sleep tea last night and
forgot.
So, body got tired, went on to sleep.
Had to wake up to do the call this
morning. Woke up at actually woke up 3
hours late at 5:30. Sent out the email
about the coaching sessions, discounted
coaching sessions. So, that'll go out
every day this week. probably go out one
more day tomorrow because it's the price
gradually going up each day. So, it'll
go up again tomorrow. So, if you see
this video on Tuesday, September
22nd, make sure you get on over there
and you get
that uh
get your session. But remember, when you
booking discounted sessions,
it still goes into priority. So if I
have a speaking engagement or something
come up, I got to move you around or
something come up with the family. So
don't y'all get too set on your date and
time, don't be looking too forward to
it. Be flexible cuz my schedule is
really crazy. So understand that coming
in. A lot of people don't understand
that. Think I just be sitting around by
the phone all day. But
I'm at the highest level of what I do.
And a lot of people don't realize how
much come with it.
And so schedule is extremely crazy. So
just be prepared for that.
And
so got up 5:30, sent that email, then
went back to sleep,
woke up 7:30 for the call. At 8, I got
to sit and talk. So I get on the call
and I just flow with the spirit, you
know. I have me some notes, but I'll be
flowing with the spirit and I have me
some notes for the homework or a
challenge that I give on the call
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Join
the purpose pushers. You want to be on
our 8:00 a.m. Eastern call, Eastern
Standard Time, Florida, 8:00 a.m., 7:00
a.m. in Texas and Chicago, and that'll
be 5:00 a.m. in California. So you can
set your alarm 455, dial in, lay there,
and listen while you still sleeping till
it's time to get up. I'll probably put
you back to sleep while I'm preaching at
you for 30 minutes.
And
did that right there. Was going to go
back to sleep, but I was woke. I was
woke by that time. So I say, man, let me
get on up,
do a little bit of
work, handle a couple little emails,
answer a little questions on the purpose
pushers, get that right there set up a
little bit. Then I came on out here. I
look, I see my wife was at the gym, our
gym, 40 minutes away. So I ain't feel
like driving 40 minutes. So I came to
the to the bridge to the causeway.
And now I'm walking this and got me a
ways to go too. Oh my goodness. Got
another probably 45 minute walk
if I ain't mistaken. Oh no, 30 about 30
another 30 minutes of walking. So came
on out here. This will be 10,000 steps
now. About when I get done, Lord
willing, I'll check my my iPhone and
see. But
got that right there.
And when I finish this, I'm going go
back home. I'm going to get me some
lemon water. That lemon perfect, that's
my that's my food right now.
So,
but my body can stay in autophagy
because it ain't enough. It ain't no
sugar. It ain't no carbs. So, my body
will stay in that autophagy
and
keep on burning.
And so I go home, shower,
get to the office, then I'll film me. I
get to the office, I'll film
a YouTube video, which may not have to
do cuz I'm filming this. So this will be
my YouTube video. I get to the office,
I'll upload this
and then get me a few customer service
emails done, personal emails done. And
then from there,
I could turn
and
I could turn and
voila,
taking
hop on my calls.
Got to text some clients, try to move
some things around, move some calls
around,
and I'll be back to back all day from
probably 2:30 to 10:30.
I'll see who in California,
move them to later in the day, East
Coast, have them up earlier in the day
and just do that. Get through all of
that right there.
Then
I'm done. Ready to go.
See this little guy
walking. Oh, he with his woman.
Get out the way.
He was pointing back to somebody trying
to tell them he go. We got him. But we
just want to point somewhere.
Black folks, God bless their heart cuz
it's not cold out here and they got on
jeans and full outfits. I guess they
were driving by. Figure they'll stop and
get them little walk in.
Hope they recognize who I was. And
y'all, I'm going to tell you something.
One of the things I have to talk to the
Lord about it, but right now the Lord
has intertwined
my purpose
as my career.
So what I do in purpose,
that's also how I feed my family. So,
YouTube pays me.
Life coaching sessions paid me.
Speaking engagements paid me.
Author Consulting. Uh-oh. Author
Consulting. I'm getting ready to cross
the street to make sure I ain't see no
bike. And here was a bike right behind
me.
and he driving up the middle in my turn
radius versus way over to the side. So,
had I not turned around to look back, I
would have got ran over. And I just had
a vision earlier about somebody running
a bike, split up between the back of my
legs and knocking me to the ground,
skinning me up, and me having to flip
them over this wall into this ocean
for running into me. I just had that
vision walking this way. And so
this is how I feed my family, living my
purpose.
And that's what you doing when you
working for God. When you working for
God
and God is the light, God is the source.
God is who you pointing people towards
and then you work around that. the
ancillary things that you create streams
of income and business and God gives you
wisdom to get wealth
and but not to be greedy. So the
recession ready course right now is $25
which is still a steal because the
information has earned me over 10
million. So,
I hate to use the word dummy, but if you
don't spend that $25 and go through that
course,
that's pretty much what you is. And
y'all forgive me for that.
But I just trying to tell you that's
just how I'm instructed to give.
10 million plus worth of a blueprint for
$25.
So, get on over there to
toninsacademy.com.
get that. But do not just buy it to make
yourself feel good. Do not just buy it
to pat yourself on the back. Please go
through every video and implement
what you learn and let it change your
life. It changed mine. If God is for
you, it will change yours, too. Please,
I'm begging you. Please. It could get
you off that dead end job.
See, I'm out of poverty, but I put
myself in poverty
because I give away so much money. I
support so much of my family that
you you work a regular job and you more
liquid than me because I max out my
gift. Whatever God bless me with, I
don't hoard the money. I put it to use.
I bless somebody.
I buy some everybody a car. Everybody a
house or apartment, which is basically a
house. I put a roof over everybody head.
Put a car in everybody household.
Put people through school. Help school
tuition.
All of that. like I give, give, give,
give, give. So although I make good
money, I spend good money. So I got to
trust God day by day just like you. I'm
not just sitting over here swimming in
cash, you know, because if I hoard it,
that means it's idol. That means I'm
worshiping it. So, I utilize it every
single day so that I have to wake up and
trust God again the next day. But I'm
going to tell you something. It's not
easy working in your purpose. It's not
easy. And a lot of times God won't put
you in a place to where you in a lap of
luxury cuz then you'll drift away from
them. So God will keep you to where all
your needs is met. You don't lose
nothing if you're obedient.
But for most seasons, you're not just f
to be in the lap of luxury. You gonna
have those abundant seasons, but really
what those abundant seasons is for what
happened with Joseph. So think about it.
If you had, we all had a lot of money in
the pandemic. We was getting checks. We
was getting stimulus. We was getting all
kind of stuff. You was getting extra
business. If you sell a product, you was
getting more you was getting more sales
because people had more expendable cash.
Imagine if you put up all that
expendable cash. How much smoother your
life would be right now if you could
divvy that out
week by week as supplemental income.
We didn't do that.
If I would have did that, I could have
stashed
probably
over I could have stashed over a million
dollars from the pandemic.
And depending on where your income and
how you earn money, maybe maybe it's
5,000, maybe it's 10,000,
maybe it's 50,000. If you got a business
selling products, how much more sales
did you do in the pandemic years than
you doing now?
And so that's what that's what we don't
realize a lot of times with God is that
a lot of time with God
you can take
and
he blesses you
with a feast and abundance
not for you to ball out of control
and to start worshiping material things.
He blessing you because a famine is
coming. So you got to remember with
Joseph when God blessed with extra he
told Joseph put up 20%.
He told Joseph put up 20%.
everything.
So, I'm thinking about that right now
and I'm like, man, what if I put up 20%.
That year, that would have been this
right here. The next year, that would
have been this right here. Just 20%.
Like, think about that.
That's what God called us to do. And we
fail at it.
So we got to ask God is Lord please
let me go through what I got to go
through. Let me lose what I got to lose
so that I can get the lesson because
life is cyclical.
It happened in cycles. So
it's coming back around. What left is
coming back. Resist the devil. He'll
flee. But he don't flee forever. He
coming back. He coming to test you
again.
So,
and he tests you in different ways. So,
it's like when Satan tests Jesus, he
tested him oneonone
monoemono in person. But the next but
next when he tested him, you know, he
tested him with the Pharisees.
He tested him with Pontius Pilate. He
tested him with all the people that was
questioning him, saying, "Are you trying
to say you the son of God? Are you
trying to say you the Messiah? You sure
you don't want to come off that stance
cuz we could kill you?" And he would not
deny
God. He would not deny his father. He
said, "Yes, I am who I said I am." Like,
if you don't know it, you can't see it.
That's cuz you're not my father child.
And the only thing you could do to me is
what my father has allowed, what my
father has ordained.
So in this season, I'm like, Lord, you
do it. Like whatever I can't do,
that's you telling me it's not meant to
be done.
But I know my first priority is my
family. It's my wife and my two kids.
You got to ask yourself, what are my
first priorities?
What's my priorities? So, I give my mama
money every Monday, but guess what? If I
ain't got it, I don't give it to her.
You know why? Because I got to take care
of my family first. I can't steal from
my wife and kids to give to my mom who
is an adult,
who is healthy, can walk, can go get a
job, who I bought a car,
who she let my sister drive a car, who I
bought a car as well, but she sold a car
that I bought her, bought her another
car.
Now she driving the car I gave my mama.
So that mean my mama can't go get no
job. That's a personal choice.
So she got to live with that. And the
reason why I share my personal business
with y'all so that y'all understand
everybody going through the same things.
A lot of people be like, "Oh, I couldn't
be telling my business." That's why God
didn't choose you. That's why God
doesn't use you. That's why you on them
people dead in job. Because God say, "I
can't trust you to be transparent and to
share the lessons that will help other
people learn and grow and be better
stewards of what I'm giving them or what
I'm about to give them." So for me, this
a season right here of learning because
I feel in my heart I'm going to be a
billionaire one day. And a billionaire
doesn't mean I'm going to have a billion
dollars. It just made me I will be worth
a billion on paper.
So
like Tyler Perry and Jay-Z, they don't
have a billion dollars in the bank. It
just if they liquidated all of their
companies and all of their assets,
they could probably get a billion
dollars.
So I'm going to be that one day between
my
tech portfolio with the Destiny app, my
mentor.life, life, Tony Gash's Academy,
all of that. And so
God is showing me as a millionaire, as
somebody who has earned millions and who
can earn a million in a year, God is
showing me what it takes now. Because
what the Lord is saying, if you can't
manage what I'm giving you right now,
you won't be able to manage what I can
give you in the future. So that's why I
try to tell y'all, and that's honestly
why I made the purpose pushers, cuz
y'all know my personality. The purpose
pushers would be a free community where
it would be $5 like the bless tribe. I
made that $1.99. YouTube laughed at me.
They was like, "Bro, this need to be at
least $4.99." I made it $1.99. So, I
try to help people who don't have much.
But I made the Purpose Pushers community
$47
because I'm learning something. For one,
I'm learning that I have to stretch my
mind. I'm learning I have to charge my
value.
I'm learning that because it's people
who charge 49 a month and they haven't
had 10% of the impact on the world that
I've had and they charge 49
to $250 a month and they haven't had 10%
of the impact. They haven't touched 10%
of the lives and it's just because they
know their value. So the Lord is showing
me I got to charge my value, but also
he's showing me I got to teach my people
how to be better stewards of their
finances.
Because if you can't learn how to budget
as an adult to afford
$47 a month, that's going to bless you
to the tunes of millions of dollars
worth of knowledge and information,
then you can't handle
any type of blessing that God can even
think to give you.
Because if you can't afford
to better yourself, if you can't afford
to invest in yourself,
then all you're going to do when God
gives you more is just squander it. So
for the few people that can join the
purpose pushers, that's one of the
things that they're going to learn in
the community is they're going to learn
how to
budget their money. They're going to
learn how to store up in the good
seasons
for the bad seasons. And that's what I'm
learning right now. So, what I'm doing
is actively
I already have investments and stuff
like that that I set up
that's like auto withdraw, but then
sometimes I have pause it in certain
seasons. Sometimes I got to go withdraw
from certain investments in other people
company to invest in my company or my
family. But what the Lord told me to do
this week is start back actively
building
cash savings.
Now they saying that they're going to
hack the banks and all of that and all
of that is possible, but if that
happens, they're going to have to offset
it. So if they do that, they're going to
have to take
and
like
kill the gas prices. They're going to
have to cut off the toll roads. They're
going to have to decrease the prices and
everything. They're going to have to end
property taxes. They're going to have to
defer tax bills. Like if the banks
actually get hacked, they're going to
have to supplement us. and and then
we're gonna find out the real truth that
all they doing is printing money. So all
they gonna do is just print more money
and then be like, "Okay, yeah, so this
is all fake. This is all just money that
you printed up at the treasury
and got us thinking that this is real.
We just recycling paper and it's all
monopoly." And so you that you'll see
that when that happens.
But I ain't worried about it because my
treasure is in heaven. So for me, I'm
not going to panic and go take all my
money out the bank and put it in a safe
cuz then guess what? A thief going to
hear about that.
Uh soon going somebody going to be at my
house fixing. He going to see I got
these safes. He going to tell one of his
robbers and they going to see when we
out of town and they going to try to
break in and rob us. And so now that's
why the Bible say don't store up your
treasure on earth where it can rust and
tarnish and moth. Store your treasures
up in heaven. So money is just a tool.
Money that's just a tool. And you got to
realize and understand that and you use
it like that and you treat it as such.
That's all money is. But what you have
to do is you got to steward it. And
that's where I've been terrible at
because I I I live, man. I believe in
living. You see me? I I went to FIFA. I
went to the FIFA game instead of paying
bills. I went to FIFA in I went to FIFA
in Toronto.
I went to FIFA in LA. I went to FIFA in
Houston. And I went to FIFA in Miami.
You put all that together,
that's probably Oh, and I went to the
NBA finals. You put all that together,
that's at least $30,000
that I could have paid bills with. But I
live cuz you also get one life to live.
But here's the thing, you got freedom of
choice, but you don't have freedom of
consequence. So if I spend 30,000 like
that and then my finances get tight
because my coaching courses,
YouTube cut the money and now I can't
pay my bills. I got to lose what I have
to lose. If I got to turn turn in a car,
I got to turn it in. If I got to sell a
car that's paid off, I got to sell it.
if I got to sell other little gifts and
gadgets.
I got a drone that ain't even open. I
got the metal the metal glasses I ain't
open. Like if I hit real hard times, I
got stuff I could sell. All the designer
items I done bought over the years,
I could sell all of it.
You see what I'm saying? But that's what
you have to go through if you make
certain choices. And that's why God in
the story of the talents where the man
who buried his talent, it was taken from
him and given to the man who invested
his.
So
you got to save and you got to invest.
And what I'm learning in the book of
Proverbs right now, because I'm reading
the Bible in six months, what I'm
learning in the book of Proverbs right
now
is
not to cosign.
The Bible said it more than once. I
ain't even through the whole book, but I
done heard it in two different chapters
saying if you cosign for a friend, you
need to go take your name off that
cosign. You need to go uncossign.
That what the Bible tell us.
In Proverbs, it tell us to study the
aunt cuz she worked without being told
to work. She store up for winter.
And I'm like, man, that's some good
stuff.
You know, it tell us not to be quick to
be assurance for a friend, which is the
co-signing. Tell us to flee from strange
women. women who trying to entice us and
lure us and have us come over to her
house and tell us her husband out of
town and try to talk to us and and it
also tell you to stay out of gangs. It
it tell you stay away from people who
want to shed blood. People who want to
just go out at night and shed blood. I'm
like why is this why is Proverbs talking
to the ys? I'm like that's crazy. like
the Bible was written for the Yians. I'm
like, who just want to go shed blood,
Lord? I'm like, what was they getting
into in the Bible? Like, my goodness.
Like, why did Solomon write that? Like,
people just out there thugging like
that, Solomon. He say stay away from the
people who they just want to go out at
night on the town and shed blood and
kill people. I'm like, that's what the
thugs doing. That what they doing in
Chicago
and Memphis, LA, St.
I'm like, man, that's crazy that the
Bible talking to the thugs. So, imagine
these boys go to prison and they started
reading Proverbs.
Proverbs slapping them right in their
mouth cuz they was out there shedding
all kind of blood.
So, y'all, I still got me a good little
way of another 10, 15 minutes till my
car. So,
that's what I'm reading.
in the book of Proverb
and I'm seeing all these lessons of
wisdom
and that's where we got all this wisdom
at. It's right there in the Bible. So
the season that I'm going into,
I'm no longer living
for my flesh.
I'm no longer living
for my desires. I'm no longer living for
what I want. I'm living for what God
want. The Lord showing me that
like it also tell you that like if you
trust in the Lord, you delight yourself
in the Lord, like you work hard, you
will be rich. I say those who delight
themselves in the Lord will be rich. So,
I don't know what rich means in the
Bible terms, like if it's talking about
in every aspect of life or is talking
about rich in joy, rich in health, rich
in peace, rich in happiness, rich in
money, or if it just is all-encompassing
because God is all-encompassing. So, I'm
taking it as if it's all-encompassing
that you'll be rich. So,
it lets you know you'll be rich, but
it's scriptures that offset the riches
by telling you that you can't worship
money and God by telling you that
you shouldn't chase fast money, quick
money. by telling you
that you should have no other idols
before God,
telling you you shouldn't lie, cheat,
steal, kill, commit adultery, commit
fornication.
So, it offsets the things that we would
do with money. is telling us that we
shouldn't get into lasciviousness,
lascivious acts, which I think is like,
you know what, Jeffrey Epstein and P
Diddy get into telling us that
we shouldn't be drunkers. Don't be a
wine bibler. When you got a lot of
money, drugs and alcohol become a lot
easier, become a lot cheaper. It's like
all that sidewalk and he can ride right
beside me within arms distance. I could
have punched him in the ribs. I felt the
air on my leg.
I don't like that kind of stuff there.
And so
it it it tell you how you can have
abundance. You can have the desires of
your heart. You have not because you ask
not. According to your faith be it unto
you. But it also tell you to store up
for hard times. It also tell you to
bless God. Honor God with your best,
with your first fruits.
And you have to seek discernment on what
that mean. The church going to say it
mean give them the money. But God may
say that means paying your mom who is
elderly, paying for her health care,
paying for her mortgage, her rent,
paying for her transportation.
That's the hands and feet of God. Like
you don't have to give your money to the
church because the church wasn't even
started
until
the book of Acts.
So
that's what Acts chapter 2 was. That's
why the people did the conference. Acts
242 conference. So when the 10% was
given in the Old Testament, they didn't
even have no church. Jesus hadn't even
came yet. in Proverbs where it say honor
God with your first fruit, they were
literally honoring God. Like they would
take they first fruit and they would
sacrifice it. Like they would pray, they
would put it on the altar
and they would sacrifice that.
And so that's what a lot of people don't
realize, like it wasn't even about
taking no money to a church. And so
people become so
sacriiggious with tithing to where
they'll make the church they go and
they'll make a tithe their idol and
they'll think that that tithe to the
church is buying them salvation and
buying them favor from God. And they
treat it like
playing the lotto or like a generous
ATM. like, hey, if I give God this, I
could fool God. I could trick God. And
if I give him 10, he going to give me
back a hundred. Even knowing that I'm
not giving this honestly, cheerfully,
willfully. I'm giving this
as a snare. I'm giving this as a trip
and a track to try to fool God to tell
try to make God think I'm a cheerful
giver so he'll bless me. God know all
that that went through your head.
God know that that pastor finessed you
and told you that you going to be
blessed according to what you put in his
tithe and offering bucket and that you
gave to get. You did not give to give.
You did not give thinking about the
children's church. You did not give
thinking about the lights in the water
in the church. You gave thinking about
you getting double and triple and
quadruple on your return because that's
what that pastor got up there and lied
about. And that's not how that work. God
honors your heart. God honors your gift.
God honors a cheerful giver. You could
take your 10% and go down to the
homeless shelter and say, "How many
people y'all got here?" And they say,
"We got 50 people." You take your 10%,
go down to Five Below and buy 50 bed
spreads for $10 a piece. Spend $500 and
take that 50 bed spreads back to that
homeless shelter. And God will see that
more honorable than you being bamboozled
and finessed by the crooked pack of the
pastors in Atlanta or whatever city you
in who just trying to get another
Rolls-Royce.
Point blank period. And a lot of y'all
religiosity people who not even blessed
by God want to argue about it. Hey, you
have to be that. Hey, you has to be
that. That's cuz you trapped by that.
That's cuz you don't understand what the
church is. You think the church is four
walls. You think the church is a man
standing up in a pull pit that you done
fell in love with cuz you see him like
your daddy. You see him as your God. So
you think everything he say is gospel
and you ain't even going to God for
yourself. You ain't even reading the
Bible for yourself. God is a spirit.
Yes, he divinely inspired the Holy
Bible, but everybody can't read. So how
do God talk to people who can't read?
How do God talk to people who can't
hear? It's a spirit. God is a spirit.
That's why the Bible say serve God in
spirit and in truth. It don't say serve
God in word and in letter. It say serve
God in spirit and in truth. So that's
why you have to have a word from God and
a revelation from God on what you
supposed to do. And that's why I stopped
judging people ministry because I
realized God called people for different
things. So
God got somebody on this marathon who
they they a bunny rabbit for the first
few miles. Then he got somebody who got
the win and the energy to get to mile
five and they get people from mile five
to mile 10. Then he got somebody who's
still going to have the win
at mile 10 to get them from 10 to 15.
Then he got somebody that's going to get
him from 15 to 20. Then he got somebody
who is the strongest, who he's called
the longest, who he's equipped with the
most to where they run to 20 miles. And
at 20 miles, they still have the wind
and the strength to bring people in and
to encourage people them last six miles
from mile 20 through the finish line at
mile 26. And they even got the strength
to carry
somebody on their bike
from mile 25 to 26. They could lift them
up and hold them on their shoulder, hold
them and and jog with them for that last
mile. See, God equipped different people
for different missions. So when I look
at a brother like D1
the rapper, they say they said he said
he struggled with fornication.
But I realized that don't mean that God
don't love him. That don't mean that God
ain't called him. Even with the brother
Anthony O'Neal, they say he struggled
with fornication, but he helping people
get biblically aligned with their
finances. So yes, I'mma get on I'mma get
on
them about fornicating, but I'm also
going to applaud them for the work that
they are doing and trying to do because
they may help somebody get from where
they at to where they need to be. And
then that person may have strength where
they don't have strength. Somebody might
leave this street. Somebody might stop
listening to toxic rap music and they
don't struggle with fornication. So they
end up doing better than D1
because he helped get them that head
start. Same thing with Anthony O'Neal.
He might help somebody come out of debt
when money had become their god. Money
had become their idol.
And so
that's where I struggle at with money. I
don't struggle with fornication. I
struggle with money. So if I'm a bad
steward of my money and I don't steward
my money the way God tell me to or if I
make money or things or material things
of God or idol then I'm living in sin
just like the man who living in sin and
fornication
and yes fornication can cost him more
like STDs spiritually transmitted
diseases sexually transmitted diseases
babies out of wedlock abortions and
things of the nature But
me worshiping money or me miss spending
my money. I don't worship money, but me
miss spending my money, not being a
steward,
it renders me
incapable of doing what God told me to
do with the money he blessed me with. It
hinders my growth. It hinders my
ministry.
And so what I'm doing now is group
economics cuz I give
well more than 10%. I give typically 20
to 30% of my income away. And so
the group economics
had a brother and brother I seen your
email who wrote in he homeless right now
and he spent all day
in the in the cafe. I don't know where
he's sleeping at, but he homeless right
now. He lost his job. So, I'm putting
the link in the description. And then I
coached the lady who she gets a little
bit of money, but it's not enough for
rent.
And so, she lost her rent. I mean, she
lost her job and she's sleeping in her
car right now. And that's what she told
me. I have to take people at their word,
but she paid for a session. and she in
her car. She say she got a laptop and
she got a phone, but she lost her place.
Couldn't afford the rent.
And
so y'all, I finally made it back. 2
minutes late. Look, 2 minutes over.
This bird got into this bag. He's been
trying to get into this bag forever. And
it's a bag of fruit. Might have got some
pineapples out here.
And so she lost that. So I told her and
she in the bless tribe
so she really supports me.
So I told I'm put the link in the
description and just pay attention for
when I launch
the fundraiser and everybody is
struggling right now. So I'm not asking
y'all to sacrifice.
This is for y'all who single. You make
high five figures or you make six
figures. you don't have kids. I'm asking
y'all to support us in this mission so
that we could bless those and and be a
resource. We may only be able to give
a 100red to 500 per person that reach
out, but for those of y'all facing
eviction and stuff like that, we working
on it. It it'll take a couple of weeks
though cuz you can't just raise.
When you raise, you also gota
uh
when you raise, you also have to um
wait on it to process and it could take
5 to 7 days to process.
So y'all forgive us for that. And so
y'all y'all look, so I have my little
fridge in here. See them two little
lights right there? Y'all forgive all
that dust. But got my lemon perfect and
my water. And when I tell you that lemon
perfect good. So y'all let me put a
little electrolytes in me. I don't even
know if that's electrolytes, but I'll be
right back.
I ain't going to drink it all too fast.
Woo. Needed that.
12:05. I got the coach at 2:30. I got 2
and 1/2 hours. Just got to get home,
shower,
get dressed, get on up to the office.
Listen, I'm trying my best.
I'm trying my absolute best to help
y'all in these times.
I'm trying my best, but I cannot help
you if you don't help yourself.
I cannot help you if you don't do the
work.
So, please,
by all means, please
get in the recession ready course and
finish the course. Take the course. It's
$25.
It was $5. If you missed it, if you
procrastinated, it's $25.
take the course and go through the
videos and implement what I'm teaching
in the videos. Please implement it.
Please, please, please, please
need you to do that.
You have got to do that
because social media is free.
If you get on it and you use it, you're
going to see a difference. You're going
to be blessed.
You're going to receive
what God has for you. So, I'm begging
you, please, please, please. I'mma do
what they just did. Man, that's so cool.
They came down in their truck and they
went for a bike ride and now they back
sitting on the truck eating good old
sandwich. Bring my wife out here
sometime and we'll do a walk instead of
a bike ride and then come back and sit
down and just just eat. Have us a little
lunch, have us a little snack, little
walking picnic.
So
understand what I'm trying to tell you.
No trespassing sunset sunrise.
So I guess can't be out here at night.
But hey, bike in my car, headed to the
house, y'all. I just be doing a little
walk and talk and little motivation.
Just little real life stuff to help me
understand.
And like and what I was telling you even
like with my family, I want to wrap it
up. what I was talking about, how I
helped my mom, but she helped other
family members. And so then she helped
them and then she'll be tight. But then
when she helped them and she get tight,
I get tight. So when I get tight and I
can't help her, now we both learn. We
both learn when we helped when God said
we shouldn't have helped. When God said,
"This right here is for you and your
household. I ain't give you enough for
another household."
But you gave out of ego. You gave out of
obligation.
You gave because you felt you had to
give.
You gave from the wrong heart. You gave
for the wrong reason. You gave for the
wrong thing.
So
now you got to suffer.
so that the next time this come around,
you know how to say no. You know when to
say no. And so by me going through that,
I learned the hard way how to say no
to friends and family members.
I learned how to say no.
And
it's painful.
People don't like it. People don't
understand it. They don't want to hear
it.
But it is what it is. You know, it comes
with the territory.
So when I learned that, I'm like, "Okay,
it is what it is." Like I got to learn
how to say no because so God can say yes
because too God going to bless you and
he going to give to you.
But the thing about it is he tells us in
his word. That's why in that word when
you get in that word you see he tells us
in his word that
you can't sow
on stony ground.
Like he tells us don't cast pearls to
swine.
So if God blessing you
and you giving money to a drug addict,
even if the drug is just weed, even if
the drug is just gambling,
the drug is, you know, it's porn, only
fan subscriptions,
even if it's that
like I'm in stressful times. I want me
only fan subscription, but I can't do it
because if I do it, then guess what?
I can't I I lose my witness. I can't say
I don't watch porn. And I be I love
saying that. I be quick to say that. I
don't want no war. I ain't never been to
only.com.
I'd be quick to say that. So guess what?
Just how I'm built and who I am. I would
not be able to come on here and say I've
never been to onfan.com
if I've actually been there or if I'm on
there with a subscription. I wouldn't be
able to say it. Like you'll see me like
choke. Like I'll like stutter and I
wouldn't be able to say it. And so I got
to keep that side of me pure so that I
could keep that in my story. I could
keep that in my message. Keep that in my
ministry.
Keep that in what I'm doing, what I'm
talking about. You feel me?
And so that's where I I sit and I work
on that right there.
It's like, sir, I got over I got over
and you going to get behind me.
It's like, yeah, going somewhere with
your butt. Take your butt where you got
to go now. Riding on my tail.
And so that what I had to realize.
So you got to do
what it take and you got to learn how to
say no. You got to learn how to steward
your money.
And that's the season that we all in
right now.
Season we all in right now.
It's certain subscriptions I need for
business. I need for growth. So I can't
have stars subscription right now. I
can't have this subscription, that
subscription right now because I got to
subscribe to things that's going to help
me grow. Got to be a part of things
that's going to help me extend and grow.
So that's what I got to focus on. That's
what I got to work on.
And that's what I want you to realize.
Process, get to that place. Get to that
point where you understand it.

each other accountable. So, do that with
a friend or a family member.
Y'all forgive. I got to get past this

rocks flying off the back of it. Hit a
bump, you know, chip or paint. So, do
that with a friend or a family member or
your spouse or whoever. And y'all get to

2027, let me know what you did with the
knowledge that you implemented from the
recession ready course and what it did
for you. And I'm telling y'all like this
right here. I hate social media, too.
But what I'm telling you is if you get
into it and you learn how to use it,
it's going to bless you. It's going to
bless you. It can change your life. If
it can take you off your job, it can
change everything that you're doing
right now. And it's going to be painful
to get there. Getting past your
insecurity,
getting past your fear, getting past
your doubt.
But everything that you want out of life
is on the other side of those things.
And that's what I need you to realize
and understand.
Well, that is Tony Gaston. God bless
y'all. The important links in the
description. I'm tired from that 2hour
walk. Walk from 10 to 12.
We'll talk soon.
