Bait and switch infomercial
Bait and switch tactics used to make participants think they are attending a day-long inspirational Christian event that can bring you closer to God's will for your professional life. Instead it was a day long infomercial for programs that initially cost $97 but soon after, thousands to learn more because "sometimes you have to go in debt and take chances when following God's will." I was saddened as there were many respected Christian personalities and leaders who used their positions to exploit the audience into signing up for future get-rich opportunities. I've lost respect for many but I know whose getting richer quickly. Emphasis was supposedly on Jesus' love for us and about 3 speakers kept that focus. Still, acquiring riches seemed the ultimate message for most. I'm a teacher, was a missionary for 20 years, and had to self talk quite a bit today after hours of shaming for not making enough money so I can give it away to the poor or my kids. I'm His instrument and Satan used this conference and my paycheck to paycheck status to discourage me today. But I'm back and know God uses me. I do not have to be rich for Him to say, "well done, good and faithful servant". Stay away from Life Surge.
