1,261 | How Jason Heinritz Found Freedom in God’s Kingdom I'm Jason Heinritz, I spent the first half of my adult life chasing success. I led one of the top-producing teams in the direct sales world, climbed the ranks, and did all the things that looked impressive on paper. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was building my own kingdom, not God’s. That realization broke me, and it also set me free. Over the last five years, I’ve been on a journey that may look like demotion in the world’s eyes but has been promotion in God’s Kingdom.

Through my book, my faith-driven journal, and the 40 Forge Challenge, I equip believers to buil…
