What’s up, School of Fish Marketplace University family! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted in SMU News, but I’ve been working behind the scenes making some changes and planning more value for you all. As we advance, I’ll be dropping more mini tutorials inside the community social media, video editing, branding, content creation… all of it. I’m building this step by step so I can keep pouring into you at a higher level. And I want to say thank you to everyone who’s been here from the beginning. I really appreciate you. Quick update: as we grow, new member pricing will be $27/month for Standard and $147/month for VIP. You guys are vetted in, so you will remain free for now wink wink. I had to learn that as entrepreneurs, we can’t underprice ourselves forever. We have to value the work we’re building. If you haven’t yet, check out Alex Hormozi book. It really shifts your mindset on business and value. And if you’re still in a place of figuring things out, dealing with fear, or just trying to get consistent, that’s okay. That’s exactly why you’re here. We’re growing together. Last thing this month, we’re planning a members-only meetup downtown. The bean 🫘! We’ll hang out, grab food, and build real relationships & minster to strangers. And create content together. 🫶🏽 I will not be creating content or promoting our gathering. This is an exclusive invite-only extended to you guys. I’m excited for what’s next for all of us. Love you, guys. Keep building. Keep growing. Keep going. 🐟 Date coming soon …. Please message me if you have any questions or concerns Btw check out my first course posted in the classroom. 👩🏾‍🏫

It's 3:00 AM. I took a nap before writing this post, but now I'm awake with thoughts running through my mind, and I want to share something with you. How do you know when you're carrying a Kingdom assignment? Beyond traditional church. Many of you may be experiencing fatigue, frustration, restlessness, or even a holy dissatisfaction. Sometimes it's not mental. Sometimes it's not emotional. Sometimes it's the burden of the Lord. God will often allow us to feel the weight of His heart because He's inviting us to become part of the solution. For me, this next assignment feels different. It's bigger. It requires more boldness, greater faith, increased creativity, stronger leadership, deeper community, and a greater dependence on God than ever before. If you find yourself frustrated by what you see in the world, don't run from it; lean into it. Pray. Seek His face. Sit in His presence. God wants to reveal things to His people. He wants to download blueprints, strategies, and solutions. He wants to show us what Heaven is saying so we can build what He desires on Earth. Jesus taught us to pray: "Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." My question for you is this: What are you willing to do to pull a heavenly reality into the Earth? What is the plan? Where can we find a piece of Heaven built by your hands to stabilize the Earth realm? My prayer is that we create content that awakens and draws in God's children, creating a community that feels like a heavenly home where people can belong, grow, and thrive. This is why SMU was created. I have big goals, but more than anything, I want to experience a net-breaking miracle just like in Luke 5:6 In Jesus' name!!

🐟 Family, watch this video of a young man pulling in a huge fish. Look at the strength, focus, and effort it took to bring that fish in. What stood out to me most was that before he cast his line, he pulled out a bigger bait and basically said, “Yeah, I’m about to catch a big fish now.” That got me thinking… How big is your bait? What if we stopped thinking so small? What if we used bigger bait? What if we used our lives as bait? Our testimonies, our businesses, our ministries, our stories, our content, and our creativity to draw people to Christ? As members of the School of Fish, we are more than a community. We are the Body of Christ. We are fishers of men. God has given us the ability and power to create wealth. That means your lifestyle is bait. Your content is bait. Your business is bait. Your influence is bait. But how big is your bait? Have you been shrinking back? Have you belittled yourself as a marketplace minister? Have you downplayed your calling as a content creator? Are you still afraid to launch out into the deep and pull in the fish God has assigned to you? I believe it’s time for net-breaking miracles. It’s time for the wealth, opportunities, visions, dreams, and prophetic words we’ve been carrying to come to pass. So I leave you with this question: If God has called you to be a fisherman, remember that we’re not just fishing for fish…we are fishers of men. As we head out on this field trip, keep in mind that we’re preparing ourselves to reach people, impact lives, and bring in a harvest. And when we go out, let’s make sure we’re bringing BIG bait. Let’s go! (And by the way… bring your lunch money. 😂) https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18dATexqKc/?mibextid=wwXIfr 👈🏾 BIG INCREASE

Pray that God would make you a problem solver in your community. Imagine if God placed a burden on your heart to feed the homeless, start a youth program, help families, teach financial literacy, or create opportunities for the next generation. I don’t believe God sends people on assignments without provision. Many people are focused on building influence, but influence means very little without impact. As Kingdom people, we are called to be answers in the earth. We are called to solve problems, serve people, and bring solutions to our communities. Ask God what problem He has uniquely equipped you to solve. Then trust Him for the wisdom, resources, relationships, and opportunities needed to carry it out. Your influence may open doors, but your impact is what changes lives. 🐟 Watch Coach @Bakari Kamal & I discuss the importance of prayer & presence! It is a MUST have in ministry & marketplace. 🐟 What problem do you feel called to solve in your community? 🐟 Stay tuned I'm planning a School of Fish field trip!!! Btw 🐟 Cameras will be rolling all day! Oh Get your lunch money together! Chicago meet up. Coach Crystal Follow me & I will teach you how to be fishers of men. Matthew 4:19 - Jesus
