WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"The Next Step Conference gave us a lot of tools and direction when we were at a key point in our business and personal journey."
#kingdomliving#connection#confirmation#testimoniescreatetools#abundancemindset

"This conference was a huge blessing to my wife and I. We were 2 years into a new business that we had started and I had just come through one of the most difficult years of my life. I felt I needed to go somewhere for inspiration and encouragement and then we had gotten an invitation to attend. It was one of the best things we did. Hearing the different speakers and knowing they had gone thru some very dark times in their lives and seeing where they are at today was very inspirational. Another huge thing that stood out was VISION. I realized my vision was way to small for my business. I was wanting a business that would take care of my family’s needs and give me an opportunity to minister and interact with the community. I now want a business that will make money for the Kingdom and that we would have plenty to give to impact others for Christ. I don’t want to just be trading time for money but that money would actually work for me!!"

"Next Step is a conference to literally be pushed to the next level, I was challenged mentally and spiritually by what each speaker shared from their life experiences. To be able to learn from others who now have thriving businesses, and how when they had made a mistake they took the next step even though it was hard through Real life experiences. Well worth the time and investment to attend."

"When we met Matt at a church conference in the fall of 2017, the passion he had for building the kingdom of God and how business is all included in kingdom work, sparked and stirred something within us in the area of business. A few months prior to the first Next Step in 2018, we were presented with a major new business opportunity. We knew going to this conference, we would receive direction and keys for our next step, and did we ever! There were several speakers in the very industry we were heading into. There were many confirmations and connections made that propelled us into that next step. the variety of speakers are dynamic and their stories and testimonies created tools for us to use in every area of our lives."
