From Apathy to Awakening
I didn’t grow up caring about economics. Like most Christians, I assumed money was a “secular” issue—something the church didn’t need to address beyond “tithe faithfully and avoid debt.”
But in 2020, something shifted.
I stumbled onto Bitcoin, not as an investment, but as a question: What does the Bible say about money itself?
That question changed everything.
The Discovery That Changed My Ministry
As I dug into Scripture, I realized the church had forgotten something massive: economics is theology.
- The Bible has more to say about money than heaven and hell combined
- God commands just weights and measures (Proverbs 16:11)
- Jesus confronted the money changers with holy violence (John 2:15)
- Inflation is theft—and the Bible calls theft sin (Exodus 20:15)
I discovered that 16th-century Christian monks—the School of Salamanca—had written the foundations of sound economics 200 years before Adam Smith. That theologians and Austrian economists were saying the same thing in different languages. That Bitcoin wasn’t just technology—it was 2,000 years of Christian economic thought encoded into 21 million coins.
Why I Wrote The Books
In 2023, I wrote The Bible and Bitcoin to help Christians in my circle understand sound money from a biblical perspective. I expected to sell maybe 100 copies.
It became an Amazon bestseller.
Readers from Australia to Nigeria to the United Arab Emirates reached out. Translations started appearing in multiple languages. The book reportedly made it into the hands of political leaders and Bitcoin influencers worldwide.
I realized I wasn’t alone. Christians everywhere were waking up.
So I kept writing:
- Render To God explores the biblical case against the tax state and how Christians should respond
- Truth in Code reveals the 2,000-year history of Christian economic thought that led to Bitcoin
These books are a culmination of hundreds of hours of study and have led me to optimizing my life for freedom like I never thought possible.
What I Believe
After over a decade in pastoral ministry and church planting, I’ve watched too many Christians live as slaves when Jesus declared them free.
Slaves to debt.
Slaves to inflation.
Slaves to a system that demands their allegiance in exchange for scraps.
Jesus didn’t die to make you a better taxpayer. He died to make you a sovereign son.
I believe:
✦ You bear God’s image, not Caesar’s. Your worth isn’t determined by your tax bracket—it’s determined by whose image you bear.
✦ The sons are free (Matthew 17:26). You don’t owe Caesar unconditional allegiance. You pay tactically while building Kingdom infrastructure.
✦ Economics is worship. Every dollar you spend, every tax you pay, every investment you make—it’s building a kingdom. The question is: which one?
✦ Sound money is biblical. Honest scales belong to the Lord. Bitcoin is the most honest money humanity has ever built.
✦ Statism is idolatry. When the state becomes your provider, protector, and ultimate authority, you’ve bowed to Caesar.
✦ Jesus is Lord—not Caesar, not the Fed, not any earthly power. And His Lordship extends to your wallet, your work, and your wealth.
What Is Jesus Maximalism?
Jesus Maximalism isn’t a new theology. It’s ancient Christianity applied where Caesar demands worship.
It’s the early church’s answer—”Jesus is Lord”—spoken into an age where the state claims divine authority over your provision, protection, and future.
Jesus Maximalism is:
- Total surrender to Christ in every area of life—not just Sunday, but your finances, your family, your work, your allegiance
- Biblical economics that rejects fiat fraud and embraces sound money principles
- Kingdom strategy that minimizes Caesar’s control while maximizing Christ’s Lordship
- Eschatological confidence that Christ is winning, Caesar is losing, and we’re building for eternity
The mission is simple:
Maximize Jesus. Minimize Caesar.
Who This Is For
Jesus Maximalism is for Christians who:
- Sense something is deeply broken with the current system
- Feel enslaved by debt, taxes, and inflation
- Want to honor God with their money but don’t know how
- Are tired of the church’s silence on economic injustice
- Desire to live as free sons, not tax slaves
- Want to build Kingdom infrastructure for the next generation
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
My Mission
I’m not here to make you comfortable. I’m here to wake you up.
Through my books, speaking, and the Jesus Maximalist community, I equip Christians to:
- Understand their identity as sons of the King, not slaves of the state
- Expose the lies of fiat currency and institutional theft
- Learn biblical economics and sound money theology
- Apply tactical strategies to minimize Caesar’s control
- Worship with their wallets by maximizing Jesus in every financial decision
This isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting free.
Free from Caesar’s slavery.
Free to build Kingdom infrastructure.
Free to steward wealth God’s way.
Free to pass dominion—not debt—to your children.
