Discover how true rest isn't just about finding a temporary escape from our hectic schedules, but a state of being that encompasses our entire being—body, mind, and soul. We explore the restorative power of surrendering our burdens to Christ, allowing His grace and peace to permeate every aspect of our lives.

There are two basic things you need to design your financial life. In this episode, Dennis shares the two important yet sometimes neglected things we need to design our life.

I define success as the attainment of my calling and assignment from God. Success is living out my purpose. That is big because God never gives us something we can achieve independently. Typically, God gives us something that would require us to tap into the supernatural power to accomplish the dreams He has for us.

Finding your why means discovering the purpose that God has for your life. God created each of us with a unique purpose, and it's up to us to realize that purpose. Here are some best practices to find your why:

What happens when faith and finance meet? Our first step in designing is to know whose you are in Christ. If we get serious about designing and fixing our wealth, we must properly understand who we are in Christ. So many of our problems stem from how the world defines us. In this video, we share how our faith affects our financial decisions.

In this empowering podcast series, we delve into the transformative concept of our life in Christ and explore its profound implications for our daily existence.

Join us as we embark on a journey to uncover the depths of what it truly means to live in Christ. We dive into the Scriptures, unpacking the teachings and promises that reveal the abundant life made available through our faith.

Join us on this enriching journey as we discover the boundless love, grace, and purpose available through our connection with Jesus Christ. Get ready to be inspired, encouraged, and equipped to embrace the life we have in Him fully.

Did you know a lot of people are destroyed by prosperity? Many are not ready to handle the wealth they get. Dennis shares ways we can design our financial life in this finance series.

In this podcast, we delve into the intriguing story of King Hezekiah from the Old Testament and explore his remarkable encounter with illness and divine healing.

Join us as we uncover the historical context, the challenges faced by Hezekiah, and the profound lessons we can glean from his journey. We examine the significance of Hezekiah's illness as a turning point in his life and its impact on his reign and the nation of Judah.

As we journey through Hezekiah's healing, we invite you to reflect on your own experiences of illness and restoration. Discover how this ancient narrative resonates with modern challenges, offering wisdom and hope for those grappling with physical or emotional afflictions.

Dennis guested at Chinkee Tan's Radio Show, and we discussed my journey as a Filipino Chinese in business, my decision to work full-time as a pastor, and my life as a content creator.

In today's fast-paced world, we often focus on achieving our goals, accomplishing our to-do lists, and constantly doing something. We are conditioned to believe that our worth is determined by what we do rather than who we are. However, the truth is that being precedes doing. In other words, who we are is more important than what we do.

Being is about our inner qualities and characteristics, such as our values, beliefs, and attitudes. Doing, on the other hand, is about our actions and behaviors. While doing is essential, it only reflects who we are on the inside.

Here are some reasons why being precedes doing:

We are diving into the hard part of designing your life, and Thammie helps us navigate this as she encourages us to enter into active preparation mode. Most people wait for things to happen to them but to live a purposeful life, you don't wait passively. You prepare actively. How do we do that? Let this episode encourage and inspire you to prepare well for this year!

A missionary doctor was in our home when he shared the three most important questions people universally ask. His talk though short, was life-transforming for a young person like me. His three questions were:

 1.    Who is your master?

2.    What is your mission?

3.    Who is your mate? (or spouse-to-be)

His talk led me on a journey as a fifteen-year-old boy to find the reason for my existence. These questions were not the ultimate life questions, but they made me think about life and my path toward living out my purpose.

We delve into the importance of finding our "why" - the driving force that gives our lives meaning and purpose. Without a clear understanding of our why, we can easily get lost and feel unfulfilled, even if we are successful in our careers or personal lives. Through personal stories and expert insights, we explore the benefits of discovering our why, including increased motivation, focus, and satisfaction. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and learn how to uncover your why and live a more fulfilling life. Purpose is one of the most talked about issues today, yet many still live purposeless lives. I think U2 was right. We still haven't found what we are looking for. In this talk, Dennis shares how to find your purpose this year.

Being comfortable with who you are is one of the most important aspects of personal growth. It means embracing your true self, including your strengths, weaknesses, and quirks, without seeking validation or approval from others.

Here are six tips to help you become more comfortable with who you are!

1. The friendships we built through the years matter, especially when sadness, trials, and challenges hit you.

2. The greatest freedom we can have as human beings are free from the lure of more that the world offers. Financial freedom is not having more but living a simple life.

3. Toxic culture abounds, but it is our responsibility to not let toxic culture enter our life. We can choose to live toxic-free lives.

4. A squid game aha moment. With corruption and injustice all around us, I kept asking how evil people get to sleep peacefully then it dawned on me. The world can offer you everything you want- and once you have what you want materially – it can make you numb. It takes away your humanity, and we see people as numbers. We forget the names, and we treat people like pawns we can control. It made me pray – “Lord made me feel the brokenness of the world and the simple joys of life.”
