In 12 Weeks, Build an Email List That Pays You, a Course That Funds Your Calling, a Following That Attracts Your Dream Customer, and a Book That Builds Your Authority
(Without Hiring an Agency or Procrastinating Another Year)
If you want the work you love most to also be the work that pays you the most, and are tired of being told you have a gift while your income tells a different story, then keep reading.
This is for you.
You have spent years getting good at what you do. People come to you for the kind of insight only you carry, quote you when they retell what they learned, and send their friends when those friends hit the same wall. And the bank account still does not reflect any of it.
That is not a gift problem. It is a build problem. There are four things that turn a recognized gift into a paid one, and right now you have not built any of them.
Because I've been there.
I learned that the hard way in the middle of Covid, sitting in my living room as the itinerant ministry I had built after leaving a twenty-year pastorate collapsed overnight. So I built four things in fast succession: an email list, an online course, a social following, and a book. Within months I had my first forty-thousand-dollar month.
Then I started running the same build for other people. My first client had a thousand people on his email list and was generating almost nothing. After we built the four assets together, his first launch brought in a hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars. He now runs an online business generating between two hundred fifty and three hundred thousand a year.
In total, this same four-asset build has generated multiple seven figures for the people I've walked through it in the two years since I figured it out for myself.
Twelve weeks from now, that could be you.
By the end of week twelve you will have:
✅ A live email list with a working lead magnet and a 5-email welcome sequence
✅ A flagship course with title, promise, full outline, and a draft sales page
✅ A social following with three content pillars, a 30-day calendar, and plug-and-play invitation posts
✅ A book blueprint with title, table of contents, and the first chapter drafted
This is for apostles, prophets, coaches, musicians, pastors, teachers, itinerants, consultants, and anyone else already serving people with a real gift, ready to stop being invisible.
Join the Intensive of Apostolic Builders
12-Week Intensive Beginning July 1, 2026
Live on Zoom every Wednesday at 12pm pacific for 60-90 minutes.
This is not a prophetic school or “how to apostle” training. It’s hands‑on mentoring to build the online containers for the grace you already walk in. We are building a strategic blueprint for leaders to establish, strengthen, and expand their God-given assignment.
Here's How the Prophets & Emerging Apostles 12-Week Builder Intensive Actually Works
When you step inside the 12-Week Builder Intensive, you are stepping into a hands-on build: every week we meet live for 60 minutes, I teach you the next piece, and we actually build it on the call.
By the end of week twelve, the four assets in the headline are not still living in your notebook. They are in your hands.
What You'll Discover Inside the Intensive:
✅ The "stating a price versus making an offer" distinction that closed most of the gap between broke ministry and a real income in my own life, and that has personally helped my clients bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars on their first launches.
✅ The pricing framework that helped my first client charge $2,000 per spot from a 1,000-person email list (his first launch closed at $128,000), and exactly how to apply the same framework to whatever you are building.
✅ Why a 1,000-person email list will out-earn a 100,000-person social following nearly every time, and exactly how to build yours without ever feeling spammy.
✅ The "minimum viable course" approach that lets you start collecting payments long before you think the course is ready, and why your students will actually thank you for it.
✅ The "warm audience ceiling" trap that keeps most ministers, coaches, and teachers stuck at the same income for years, and the simple shift that makes you findable by people who have never heard your name.
✅ Why your warmest fans are almost never your best buyers, and how to spot the quiet customers who actually open their wallets when you finally make the offer.
✅ The "audience hasn't arrived yet" framework that helps you write content for who your people are about to become, not who they are today.
✅ Three specific invitation post templates that turn social followers into email subscribers without sounding like a marketer, so your audience does not even notice you are growing your list.
✅ How to draft your first chapter in a single weekend, even if you have been "going to write that book" for the last five years and gotten nowhere.
✅ The "book-as-lead-magnet" move that opens doors to speaking engagements, podcast invitations, and high-ticket client conversations without you ever having to pitch yourself first.
✅ The exact 7-day launch sequence (down to which email goes when) that brought my first client $128,000 in revenue from a 1,000-person email list, plus the single offer move most builders skip that consistently doubles conversions.
✅ How to talk about money from the pulpit, the stage, the post, or the page without sounding like a televangelist, apologizing for having a gift, or feeling like you sold your soul to do it.
✅ The "marketing is stewardship" reframe that pulled me out of years of ministry poverty in under twelve months, and that consistently pulls my clients out of theirs the moment they let it in.
SHOWING UP READY BEATS SHOWING UP PERFECT
You do not need to have your business figured out before you start. The lead magnet, the logo, the elevator pitch, none of that has to exist yet. You just need to show up each week, build what we build, and trust the process.
The reason this works is not that I'm a genius. It is that the build itself is the genius. Email list, course, following, book, in the right order with the right belief underneath. Every gifted person who has done this work with me has come out the other side with a working platform. You will too.
WHO THIS IS FOR AND WHO IT ISN'T
This is for you if:
✅ You're an apostle, prophet, coach, musician, pastor, teacher, consultant, or any other gifted person who has spent years mastering what you carry, and you're ready for the version of your life where that gift finally pays you what it's worth
✅ People are already coming to you for the kind of insight only you have, and you're tired of watching them implement what you taught them while your own bank account doesn't move
✅ You've been "going to start" your email list, your course, or your book for the last few years, and you're finally done waiting on the perfect moment
✅ You can give three to five hours a week for twelve weeks to actually build, not just think about building
✅ You're ready to be paid for what you've already mastered, without apologizing for it or pretending the money doesn't matter
This isn't for you if:
❌ You're hoping to replace a paycheck in the next thirty days (this is a build, not a lottery ticket)
❌ You aren't currently serving anyone in any capacity (we're scaling what you already carry, not inventing it from scratch)
❌ You want one more framework, one more certification, or one more revelation before you actually start building
❌ You'd rather argue about whether marketing is biblical than make money from your gift
❌ You're allergic to the kind of work that makes you uncomfortable for a few hours a week

ABOUT IAN
In 2017 I stepped down from nearly 2 decades of pastoral work to travel and serve leaders across the body of Christ.
Three years later, Covid took my itinerant ministry off the table overnight, and I had to figure out how to make a living from the work I loved most.
What I discovered is that I had been calling fear humility. My discomfort about charging for what I carried was never a theological conviction.
It was a belief problem. And once I built the four assets I now build with my clients (email list, course, social following, and book), my first forty-thousand-dollar month landed within months. Two years later, this same four-asset build has generated multiple seven figures for the gifted people I've walked through it.
Here is the core conviction I now operate from. Gifted people are broke not because of circumstances but because of beliefs. Coaches, ministers, teachers, prophets, musicians, and creators are quietly taught that wanting to be paid for what they carry is unspiritual, presumptuous, or worldly. That belief is the ceiling.
You do not need a bigger gift. You need to build the four things that turn what you already carry into a living. That is the entire purpose of the 12-Week Builder Intensive.
If you are tired of being good at what you do and broke at the same time, you are in the right place.
Doors close to this intensive June 30th, 2026.
Let's build.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
A: Twelve live ninety-minute build sessions where I teach for forty-five minutes and we build together for forty-five. By week twelve you can have a live email list with a working lead magnet and welcome sequence, a flagship course outline with a draft sales page, a thirty-day social content engine running on three pillars, and a book blueprint with the first chapter drafted. You also get the templates I use with my private clients, live hot-seat reviews when you get stuck, and access to the recordings and community for the duration of the 12-weeks.
-
A: Coaches, apostles, prophets, musicians, teachers, itinerants, consultants, and any other gifted person already serving people who has not yet figured out how to turn the work they love most into the income they need. If people are already coming to you for what you carry but your bank account still does not reflect that, you are exactly who this is built for.
-
A: Ninety minutes. The first forty-five is teaching, where I walk through the specific piece of the build we are constructing that week. The second forty-five is implementation and hot-seat work, where you build it with me on the call. You can ask me anything, show me your work, and get specific feedback on your specific situation.
-
A: Every session is recorded and posted within twenty-four hours. You won't fall behind. That said, the live calls are where most of the breakthrough happens, because that's where you get real-time feedback on real-time work. Attend live whenever you can.
-
A: $497 paid in full, or three monthly payments of $197. That covers the twelve live calls, all recordings, every template and worksheet, hot-seat access, and my personal review of what you are building. Compared to what most people spend chasing one more course or one more certification, this pays for itself the first time you actually launch what you built.
-
A: If you do the work, yes. The whole program is structured around finishing, not learning. You will spend three to five hours a week building between calls. By week twelve, the email list is live, the course is outlined and ready to sell, the social engine is running, and the book has a chapter on the page. People who try to skip the building stay where they are. People who build, build.
-
A: I work mostly with ministers and gifted people who were quietly taught that marketing is somehow lesser, suspicious, or unspiritual. I don't operate that way. Marketing is stewardship of what you carry. We will package it for the people who need it without making you feel like you sold your soul. Your voice stays your voice. The only thing that changes is whether the right people can find you.
-
A: That's fine. Week one is about deciding. You'll choose between list-first, course-first, or book-first based on your situation, and we lock the direction down before we start building anything. You will not be wandering for twelve weeks.
-
A: You're covered by the Builder's Guarantee. Show up to every call during the first two weeks, complete every assignment, and if you decide this isn't the right build for you, email me and I'll refund every dollar.
-
A: The intensive begins July 1st, 2026 at 12pm pacific time live on Zoom. Spots are limited, reserve your place now and let’s build over an incredible 12-weeks.
TWO VERSIONS OF THE NEXT TWELVE WEEKS
In one version, you watch another quarter of the year go by without an email list, without a course, without a book, and without any of the income your gift is supposed to be producing. People keep quoting you. Friends keep sending their friends. The bank account still doesn't reflect any of it. Twelve weeks from now you're in the same place you are right now, with one less quarter of your year to do anything about it.
In the other version, you walk through this build with me on every call. Twelve weeks from now you have a live email list, an outlined course, a running content engine, and a book with a chapter on the page. People who have been searching for exactly what you carry can finally find you. Money starts moving in the direction of the work you love most.
You don't get to skip the twelve weeks. You only get to choose what they look like.
A note on seats: This intensive is for leaders and ministers who are already walking in grace and are looking to expand online. Every builder inside caps the number I can take per cohort. When the seats are gone for this round, the next cohort doesn't begin for several months. If you've read this far, this is the moment.
