Kevin McCarthy

Summary

Kevin McCarthy shares his journey of finding faith in his early 30s and how it transformed his life. Growing up in a household where his father was Catholic and his mother rejected the church, Kevin didn't have a strong religious upbringing. However, after getting married, he and his wife decided to attend a church and Kevin realized the profound wisdom and truth in the Bible. His faith became an intellectual understanding in 1984 and then a heartfelt experience in 1986. Despite facing financial challenges in a business divorce, Kevin found solace and abundance in his spiritual faith, recognizing that his treasure was no longer in money but in Christ. This experience strengthened his faith and became a pivotal moment in his spiritual development. 

Today, Kevin cannot imagine his life without faith and emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, reconciliation, and finding purpose through a relationship with Christ. He believes that having faith and living a life of hope and meaning is the greatest gift, and his mission is to help others discover their purpose in life and live it out to the fullest. For Kevin, faith is not just a religious concept but a transformative force that brings fulfillment and allows individuals to express their true selves as God intended.
