I was the man with millions of dollars. I didn't need God. I began to see the hypocrisy and the masks. Those people are losers. If Jesus is that, that's not real. I got a message from a billionaire, $65 million, telling me how he hasn't left the house in 10 years because he has a broken relationship with his wife. He is a man that is in prison, yet he has billions. It doesn't matter what position you're in if you don't have the love of Jesus. then you are not fulfilled i go from waiting tables to becoming a world-renowned name making millions of dollars in business i stood there in the palaces and in the mansions and i looked at these people and i said they have money but they don't have the truth got to the top and i was like this is empty there's nothing this was a joke god said no more business luke

I said, okay, what should I do? Said, have faith. The old man had to die, had to be crucified, and the new man had to be born. I decided to give everything to God. My money, my resources, everything. A story that the internet has never heard.

Hey, before we get into today's episode, I want to share two quick things with you. First, if these videos have meant anything to you, if they've encouraged your faith or helped you see the gospel a little bit more clearly, I just want to ask you to subscribe. A lot of people tune in every single week and haven't hit the button yet. It only takes two seconds and it helps us keep putting these conversations in front of people who need them. And the second thing, this one I've honestly been really excited to say, I'm officially announcing our ministry's biggest live event to date, Open Heaven Live Podcast Tour. It's happening November 8th this year at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas.

Tickets are on sale right now. You can head to BryceCrawford.org slash tour or just click the link in the description below.

I believe this is going to be a really special night and I hope to see you there. All right, let's get into the episode. What's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford Podcast. I'm Bryce, and today I'm here with a very special guest.

Bryce Crawford 1:59

I'm honored to sit down with him. We got Luke Belmar with us.

Luke Belmar 2:02

How are you, brother?

Bryce Crawford 2:02

Dude, I'm doing well. How are you?

Luke Belmar 2:04

Good. Thank you for having me. It is beautiful to be back in LA. I know why people live in LA. Amazing weather, amazing food, organic food. It's great. It's great.

Bryce Crawford 2:14

Now, would you ever live in LA again?

Luke Belmar 2:17

No, it's the city of the fallen angels.

Bryce Crawford 2:20

So you wouldn't live here? Is there anywhere else on the planet that you would like to live?

Luke Belmar 2:25

I live in my body, so I am comfortable anywhere.

Bryce Crawford 2:28

Great. Well, I'm super excited. I got a ton of questions for you. But really kind of start off, I want to know your origin. I mean, for people that do know you or don't know you, can you kind of give us a little bit of background on who you are and what life was like growing up?

Luke Belmar 2:42

So every podcast that I've done before this has usually been about business. Entrepreneurship Finance. And it has been a podcast about trying to tell people about the material things of the world that they need to solve. But I've never actually told my story. Usually the person that sits the interviewer has an agenda, they have a narrative, they have something that they're trying to scheme. But you as a brother in Christ, this is the first time that I'm actually able to sit down with somebody who worships the same Messiah. So I'll tell you my story. A story that the internet has never heard. My name is Lucas. They call me Luke. It's easier in English. I was born in El Salvador, Central America. My parents were missionaries in communist Cuba before they were kicked out by the government for preaching and for teaching.
