After spending 25 years in the medical field earning $65,000 a year, Teresa took a massive leap of faith at age 50. She quit her steady job, sold her home, and moved to Dallas to learn real estate investing from her sons. Teresa pulls back the curtain on her early days—including the grueling reality of knocking on 57 doors before landing her very first off-market property deal. She busts the single biggest misconception about property investments: that you need an enormous stack of personal cash to get started.

    God Is Not An American: 250 Years of Grace and the Duty of Freedom

    Dory Wiley reveals the radical framework and pulpit history behind America's 250 years. In this special 4th of July episode celebrating the historic 250th anniversary of the United States, popular historian Dory Wiley returns to share the hidden history behind America’s true founding. While over half a million viewers tuned in to our last conversation, Dory ups the ante by revealing that the American Revolution was actually the third major revolution in recent English history—and the only one that truly succeeded. Dory traces the original blueprint of American liberty directly back to a radical 1750 sermon by a 29-year-old minister named Jonathan Mayhew, who declared that "rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God". We break down the framework of the Declaration of Independence, dive into the Great Awakening, and look at the profound warning signs of national decline—from record out-of-control debt to unaccountable government agencies. 🇺🇸 Connect with Dory Wiley: President & CEO of Commerce Street Holdings Regularly featured financial and historical commentator on CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and COMMENT to let us know your thoughts on our country's 250-year legacy!

    Street Gang Finds Jesus in Soviet Union | What Happened Next Shocked Everyone

    From Soviet streets to Florida pulpit — Pastor Denis Kozlov's faith story will wreck you. Pastor Denis Kozlov grew up in the Soviet Union — where touching an American quarter felt like holding a piece of outer space, where Bibles were smuggled across borders, and where a gang of street kids with Mohawks and leather jackets stumbled into a revival that was quietly reshaping an empire. In this episode of Insights with Marcia, Denis shares his remarkable journey from Soviet propaganda to preaching the gospel in English — a language he says God gave him as a gift. He opens up about the collapse of the Iron Curtain, the wave of missionaries that flooded Russia in the early '90s, thousands gathering just to receive a free Bible, and how one courageous woman "crossed the chicken line" to reach a group of mocking teenagers — including him. Denis also gets raw about losing his faith for years inside "churchianity," the difference between religion and actually experiencing God, and the two-ship vision that reignited his calling. Today he's planting a bilingual church in Florida and leading people home — one pizza dinner at a time.
