Should Boomers Pass on Wealth Sooner?? The Key to a Lasting Inheritance

Steven Manuel and Mark Douglass (his old friend from Texas) talk about the concept of ‘dominionism’ that’s moving around some circles and inspires a new group of books (listed below). This is NOT a thorough dissection of the subject; Mark is a novice at the topic and Steven is just trying to get his head around it. They discuss whether God wants his sons “taking over”, where godly ambition and selfish ambition diverge, and the “pope of Bastrop, Texas,” Bob Long. Mark Douglass’ community, training center, and equipping confab is The Viceroy Project. Get him out into your neck of the woods to train your families to be stronger for the Kingdom. Seriously. Do it.
