A New Door Opens
Bringing Maximum Life to South Florida
“When God opens a door for ministry, wise stewardship means walking through it — prayerfully, purposefully, and with our eyes fixed on Him.”

For Those New to Maximum Life
If you’ve followed me here on Substack, you probably know me as a pastor, author, and commentator on faith and culture.
But what you may not know is that much of my work flows through a broadcast ministry called Maximum Life — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to shaping worldviews and daily walks with Christ through the clear, engaging exposition of God’s Word.
Every week, we share biblical teaching across multiple radio stations and digital platforms. This outreach exists entirely because of the faithful giving of people who believe that the truth of Scripture, clearly taught, still changes lives.
And right now, a remarkable new opportunity stands before us.

Why South Florida — and Why Now
Miami is unlike any other city.
It’s energetic, diverse, and deeply influential — a melting pot of ideas and cultures. It’s also a mission field where the gospel must compete with countless other “ideologies.”
Through your support, Maximum Life has reached a place of financial strength and spiritual momentum.
Donations have grown over 20% this year — allowing us to take a measured, responsible step forward into new territory.
We believe now may be the right time to bring Maximum Life to South Florida.

The Plan: A 12-Month Run
Adding a South Florida broadcast would cost roughly $150 per day.
But here’s the key — this isn’t a permanent commitment. We’re launching a 12-month pilot program, with clear goals and accountability.
If by the end of year one, the S. FL. audience contributes $1,200/month in new donor support, the station becomes self-sustaining.
If not, we pause, assess, and pivot — no reckless spending, no mission drift.
This is not about empire-building. It’s about expanding wisely, with prayer and partnership.
