Some coaches say, "I don't need secular tools — I just need God." It sounds faithful. But here's the truth: that's not faith, that's avoidance. Refusing tools doesn't make you more spiritual — it makes you slower, more burned out, and reaching fewer of the people God called you to serve. In this teaching, Coach Mathew breaks the lie that struggle equals holiness, and shows why the right tools amplify your stewardship instead of replacing your faith.
You'll learn:
- Where the "tools aren't spiritual" belief comes from — and why it's not biblical
- Why refusing help is often fear or pride dressed up as humility
- How tools don't replace God — they amplify what you steward
- The real cost of grinding manually: burnout, slow growth, fewer people served
- How the right system frees you to focus on the calling, not the busywork
Tools don't replace God. They help you carry what He gave you. This video sets you free to use them without guilt.

I don't need AI. You know, AI is the devil. You know, the devil created AI. AI is, you know, think AI is God, and I'm not going to mess with AI. That is the wrong mindset that you have you have. That is the wrong mindset. Because the things that you do every day, there are companies that built that. And the same tools that you're running away from is the same tools that you're using that has enhanced your life, but you don't really know about it. But you run away from it. It's good to be part of a community, and prayer is definitely essential. But if you're running a coaching business in 2025, if you're running a coaching business just on Facebook, just on Google forms, I mean, those are good intentions, but that's not going to get you too far. You have to be able to utilize tools that'll help you. You got to be able that is why I built this platform so you can use those tools. Instead of going to seven different places, you can go onto a single platform that allows you to do everything in one place. And I'm so glad that I took the time, like, I did research before building this platform. I did research, trial and error for two years. After, you know, doing research and trying different things, I finally was able to, okay, this is the direction that I want to go. Because I knew there were coaches and people like you that are looking to get tools that you can be able to use today. You can be able to generate revenue today, and you definitely need that. What clients actually need to trust you enough to invest in you, a professional experience, a clear delivery, and a seamless onboarding. So if you want your clients to trust you in business, you have to give them excellence. There's no shortcut. You have to give them a professional and excellent experience. Now, a few years ago, there's a grocery store that I used to go to, right? There are two grocery stores I used to go to. One of them was like, literally like a few minutes away from where I live, maybe five minutes right max. And the other one was about fifteen to twenty minutes away from where I lived. You know where I went? I almost always went to the one that's about fifteen minutes, or three times further than the one that's closer to me. Why? Because the experience, the customer service was better, the store was organized, I mean, everything was in order, even though the one that was like five minutes from me that I could just walk to, I didn't go there because the customer experience was terrible, no excellence, it was just horrible. So I avoided going there as much as possible. So that is what you need to do, you have to be professional. You got to be professional. Like, even with my my recording, the the quality that you're looking at now is not a quality that I always had. And of course, you always upgrade and advance some more. If you see my original first clip that I made, I went back and I looked at it, I'm like, thank God for growth. Back then, man, I thought that was the stuff. I thought, man, I was that was it. But as you grow, then you you know better, you get access to better equipment, and then you do better. So you want to provide a professional experience all the time. Not sometimes, not every other time, but all the time. And you want to get clear delivery. What are they going to get when they get when they sign up for you with your program? What type of experience are they going to have? You have to have that mapped out which leads to the onboarding, right? A seamless onboarding. When someone wants to sign up for your program, is it a hassle to sign up for it? Does it take forever to sign up? Is there a lot of glitches? So when you have something that has a lot of glitches, people just give up, and they never come back most of the times. So you want to make sure that that process is seamless. Now we have what's called the duct tape and prayer. You know, you put you just kind of duct tape things around. You use different tools, but they're scattered all over the place. Your website have like six different colors. I just talked about being professional, and there are people today that when you look at their website, it has, my goodness, it has different font sizes, it has different gradients, the opacity is different, you have images in places that shouldn't even be, the form is at the bottom, you know, below the fold, and you When you get to the website, you just like, you scratch your head like, what in the world? This thing doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. So you got to be professional in all that you do. You got to be professional in everything that you're working on. And you want to get discovered by clients already looking for what you are doing. You want to get discovered by the right types of client. Now I'm going to do another video that talks about the types of client that you need, because just because someone is going to pay you doesn't mean that you need to do business with them. I had an experience like this years ago. You know, I needed the money, and I got involved, you know, someone wanted to pay me, and I was like, we just didn't align. Our purpose align, our direction didn't align, it just wasn't a good alignment. So I'm like, you know, whatever, I'm just going take the money, you know, because I need it. That project, it crashed. It crashed badly, and it was a learning experience for me. And I said, from that day forth, I will never ever do business with someone again. I don't care how much they're paying, that doesn't align with me. And you shouldn't either. Because while the money might sound good up front, at the end, it backfires. And I was doing business with this guy and to do his his his website. I went, I did everything, I showed him he he left the site, and you know, whatever changes that he needed to get done, I'd do the changes, and sometimes he'll take like three weeks to get back to me about different things, and I'm like, you know, I need a little more responsiveness from you. So anyway, the the platform, everything was done. You know, it was a small project, it was about a thousand, $2,000 or something like that. So I did it for him, and he paid me. Got the website, everything was done. Later on, he must have gone through something happened on his end, and he went back, and he paid me through, like, PayPal. He went back to PayPal, and said that, you know, he didn't get anything, nothing was ever done, and da da da, and I'm like, oh my goodness, this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. I had another client that did that, and they met up a whole bunch of lies and this, so I had receipts. Emailed his credit card company, because he said that he never got anything from me, he never this, this, I never did anything, I said, okay, no problem. I had receipts for everything from start to finish in the project. So I email my evidence to the credit card company, his credit card company, and once they look at the evidence, they say, look, you did everything. You did everything. So the point that I'm making is that you want to be able to make sure that you are using the right tools and connecting with the right types of clients that are looking for exactly what you need, because you don't want to go through unnecessary headache when you go through that. Now, a practical action for line number three, map your current client journey from discovery to delivery, and count every gap, friction point, and missed opportunity. There is something called a client journey. Right? And one of the steps in a client journey is awareness. They shoot the three steps in there, right? Awareness, this is where they become aware or discover phase. They've never heard of you. This is where you want to put things out, so they can be able to know things about you. They can learn about your business. And sometimes you may not know exactly what to put out. And this where you got to figure it out. And then you got to map this after they hear about you, then they sign up for your stuff, and then you got to deliver what you promise. You want to map out every gap. What is the gaps, all the gaps that you have in your business? Every business have a gap. You never arrive, because when you fix one thing, by the virtue of you fixing that one thing, it's going to create another gap somewhere else. That's a good thing. There's some gaps that are good gaps, and there's some gaps that are bad gaps. You want to be able to identify the friction point in your business. What is it Why are people dropping off after two minutes of watching your videos? Or why are people not filling out this form, or whatever that friction is for you, you want to be able to fix that. And then other missed missed touch points or missed opportunities, what opportunities did you miss that you can tighten up on? Because you're going to realize that as you continue to grow your business, scale it, you learn, as long as you're a student of learning, as long as you want to get better, scale your business, there's always going to be gaps that you need to fill. There's always going to be gaps for you to fill. No question about it.
