Family
I want to share something with you today, straight from my heart. So please take the time to read it. (This is from my heart, not from chat gpt)
For 25+ years I’ve walked the road from bondage to breakthrough — not as a theory, but as my own story. From jail cells and psychiatric institutions to rehab and opiate withdrawal clinics, I know what it feels like to be trapped by hurts, habits, and hang-ups that seem too heavy to carry and too shameful to name. I know what it feels like to be a failure, to be a “nothing”, to be laughed and scorned at. I know the loneliness and isolation. I have lived with the fear of being in debt and having everything repossessed, not having enough money to buy myself a packet of cigarettes. I smoked BB tobacco using newspaper. I travelled around Johannesburg using our local taxi services because I didn't have any other means of transport.
BUT
I also know what it feels like on the other side of that wall, when Christ meets you in the struggle and sets you free. Yes it is possible! There is a Power greater than yourself that wants to set you free. And not just that, He wants to reveal to you His plan for your life. And this is His promise: His plan for your life far exceeds anything that you can ever imagine.
Today, at the age of 48 I am the father of the most beautiful little girl, Leméh. I have the most awesome wife Gerridene, who loves me unconditionally and together we share a passion for God’s kingdom, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and for people. Today I am drug-free, as well as financially independent. We have the freedom to choose what we do with our time. I am an award-winning actor, TV presenter, and the winner of Survivor Maldives. I am the author of two bestselling books, an international speaker, cereal entrepreneur and the proud ambassador of Hope Again Wellness Centre, a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation facility in South Africa. I am an accredited mental health coach and transformational coach and I love seeing people win! I am also privileged to be part of the preaching team at our Church-Centre Church. You must visit one day!
We have the most wonderful friends in the world and are surrounded by a fire of love. So many of my wildest dreams have come true, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I still stand in awe today of how God rescued someone like me from the grip of heroin addiction — someone with no skills, no friends, no self-worth, a thief and a liar who hung around strip clubs and spent time with prostitutes, and gave me a new life.
I mention these things not at all to impress you. On the contrary, I mention them in the hope that the reality of this miracle will leave a permanent and definite imprint, an impression, and a deep conviction stamped on your heart. Because if God could do it for a heroin junkie, He can do it for you too.
There is a divine power living in you, and you can lead an extraordinary life. You have world-changing potential, or as Les Brown always says: “You have greatness inside of you!”
God wants you to prosper.
That’s exactly why PREMIUM is now open — and why I believe this is one of the most important doors you’ll ever walk through. Inside PREMIUM, you’ll find: Bondage to Breakthrough — my 12-week, Christ-centred recovery program for the hurts, habits, and hang-ups holding you back
The Liberating Secret — discovering Christ in you, the hope of glory.
45 minutes of live coaching every second week on a Thursday at 12:30 with me and the team, walking this out together.
These three courses and sessions are indispensable. You cannot move forward without letting things go first. We need to work through the pain before we can enjoy true pleasure. You haven't been able to move forward in life (finances, relationships, business, personal growth, meaning and significance) because your past is holding you in bondage. AND YOU NEED HELP! You cant do this by yourself.
God isn’t looking for people who have it all figured out. He’s looking for obedience. A yes. A willingness to take the next step, even when it’s scary. And I promise you, what feels like fear right now is actually standing at the door of the answer to your prayers.
This is your invitation. Not to perfection, but to the process. Not to do it alone, but to do it together.
Freedom is on the other side of obedience. Let’s go get it.
Upgrade to PREMIUM today, and let’s walk this road together. PS: TODAY AT 12:30 WILL BE THE LAST FREE THURSDAY SESSION FOR THE STANDARD TIERS.
But here is what I know: something is holding you back right now. Maybe it’s fear. Maybe it’s shame. Maybe it’s a habit you’ve tried to break a hundred times on your own. You are not alone in that — but you weren’t meant to stay there either. You are meant to fly!
In His grip,
Hykie Berg
