Think of the Impact
Think of the Impact
Imagine the math.
When we started the 45-Day Challenge, the Holy Spirit prompted me to think outside of my box of limitations. He said, “Neil, math has no feelings. Math has no doubts.”
So with that in mind, thinking the thoughts of God, that nothing is impossible with Him. Let’s do the math of what can happen if you lead 5 men through the 45-Day Challenge.
From Challengers to Champions
1st Generation
5 Challengers plus you = 6
2nd Generation
6 Champions multiplies 5 = 30 +6 = 36
3rd Generation
36 Champions multiplies 5 = 180+36 = 216
4th Generation
216 Champions multiplies 5 = 1,080+216 = 1,296
Ok, let’s pause for a moment. Think about this. Can you imagine if you can lead 5 men through the 45-Day Challenge and turn them into Champions?
We know that if we win a man to the LORD, 93% of the time, we also win their entire family to the LORD as well. Contrary to popular belief, men are still the most influential voice in families.
So, within 4 generations of the 45-Day Challenge or within, one year of efforts, you could be responsible for 1,296 men transforming their lives! Not to mention the lives of their entire family.
Since math has no feelings and no doubt, let’s do the math one more time.
5th Generation
1,296 Champions multiplies 5 = 6,480 + 1,296 = 7,776
“Who dares despise the day of small things…” – Zechariah 4:10
The Bible says in Job 8:7, “Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end should greatly increase.”
A year ago at our AUTHENTIC FivestarMan Conference in Tulsa, a man invited a young man, Shawn, to attend the conference. It turns out that Shawn was suicidal. His life was a disaster.
Raised in extreme poverty. A divided and dysfunctional home. Shawn had all but given up. When Shawn heard the message of FivestarMan, he responded and made Jesus the LORD of his life. He picked up a copy of the FivestarMan book and started arriving early to work before 5am, so that he could read the book.
A coworker asked what he was reading and Shawn shared with him about the conference and the decision that he made. The coworker invited himself to study the book with him! That soon turned into 14 men showing up to work at 4am to read and study the FivestarMan book together.
Since then, Shawn has received multiple promotions at work and the multiplication of the men is exponential.
One coworker mocked Shawn and the guys for studying the book and reading the Bible. Shawn told his pastor, “I learned something from Neil Kennedy. You speak to men like they are men!”
Shawn said that he looked straight at the mocker and said, “Have you ever read the Bible? I challenge you to read the Gospels for 30 days and then you can laugh. At least then you would know what you’re laughing at.”
Before the 30 days were over the coworker turned his life over to Christ, began to read the FivestarMan book and now, even though he relocated to Florida, is leading a dozen men at work through the Challenge.
A real-life story of multiplication, or math, in action.
