Here is the link to the article I mentioned yesterday. He really did his research and found that his NYC tap water, city trees, clothing, and more were touched by AI. It is a lot to give up if someone is truly anti-AI. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/style/48-hours-without-ai.html

I just signed up for WiW with VIP, but I´ve run into trouble with email mess. Below is what I wrote to the support, but posting it here too, just in case. Bottomline is, can I get granted access to the challenge with this account I am writing in here, since this is my Skool account, and already have many thing here, including Ray E stuff :D @Ray Edwards @Melanie Crane @Bryan Switalski (thank you SO much in advance - I know this is messy, but dunno what to do ...): Dear Ray and Support, I just signed up for the challenge, but I´ve run into trouble with my email for "Skool" ... I have purchased this course with my [email protected] (yes it´s an "y"), BUT I seem to bee on "Skool", with my [email protected] mail... so now I can´t seem to access the course inside of skool. Last time I bought a challenge from you (using the email [email protected]), you sent me an invite to Skool that I clicked on and I believe that is how this assocition with the email "[email protected]" was made, beacuse I already had a skool account with this email. So now I am in trouble. I need to have my content in ONE account on Skool.... would you be able to send me an invite to the Words into Wealth challenge VIP, so I can maybe get it accepted to my existing Skool account? I hope this is not sounding too confusing and that we can get to solve it quick :D Kind regards, Ida

Title: PASTOR for Pastors: A Powerful, Practical Framework for Sermons that Connect & Call to Action Author: Steve Garcia — “The Merry Mystic,” leadership & team-building coach, and 30-year urban church pastor. Overview: Every week, pastors face the blank page, praying, “Lord, what do I say?” Every week we stand before a sea of faces -- whether a congregation, a youth group, or a classroom full of learners -- and pray, “Help me, Lord, help this to go well.” PASTOR for Pastors offers a lifeline — a proven framework for crafting messages that connect head, heart, and hand. Adapted from Ray Edwards’s celebrated PASTOR model, this book translates timeless copywriting wisdom into sermon-writing gold. Built on the lived experience of a veteran preacher and coach, this book shows how to communicate grace with clarity, power, and practical next steps — every Sunday. Hook: What if sermon prep didn’t drain your soul, but refreshed it? What if the “sales funnel” of a sermon actually mirrored Jesus’s way of speaking truth with compassion and call to action? Promise: Pastors will discover a joyful, repeatable process to prepare sermons that: - Speak to real human pain - Stir the heart with redemptive stories - Offer grace and a clear path forward - Move people toward transformation, not just inspiration Why Me / Why Now: I’ve written and preached hundreds of sermons. Some soared. Some sank. But I’ve discovered that the difference isn’t inspiration — it’s structure. Ray’s PASTOR framework helped me rediscover the joy of sermon prep — not just for selling, but for saving — reminding me that good sermons serve. This book is a lifesaver for weary pastors who are tired of chasing “viral sermons” and ready to rediscover the sacred art of preaching that changes lives.
