Learn Short-Term Investing From a Pastor, With a Plan That Honors Your Faith

A guided options income plan for Christians who want steady, realistic income growth—without gambling, hype, or endless screen time.

Trusted by pastors, missionaries, and church leaders worldwide

If You Love Jesus and Also Want More Income… You’re Not Crazy

You’ve given your life to ministry and serving others. You live modestly. You trust God to provide. But you also feel the weight of retirement, college, and future expenses, and you wonder if learning short‑term investing is wise, or if it will pull your heart in the wrong direction.

This is probably for you if...

You’ve dabbled in investing or trading but never found a plan you trust.

Some months you’re up, then you give it all back, and your balance trends sideways or down.

You want more income, but not at the cost of your peace, your integrity, or your calling.

A Guided Income Plan Built on Biblical Wisdom, Designed for Steady Income

This membership helps faith‑driven traders pursue consistent monthly income over time by combining four biblical guardrails, a simple market lens, defined‑risk options spreads, and a fixed‑ratio compounding plan.

Faith-Based Guardrails

Four principles from Proverbs shape every decision: risk comes first, discipline is non‑negotiable, trade the long view, and never treat trading as something you can simply copy.

Defined-Risk Strategies

Every trade uses simple spread structures with a clearly defined maximum loss before you ever enter. If the risk isn’t clear, the trade doesn’t happen.

A Clear Compounding Plan

Position size grows only after realized profits justify it, using a fixed‑ratio approach that favors steady progress over emotional swings.

How the System Works

Step 1: Get the Map

Short, focused lessons give you the framework, language, and structure: faith‑based principles, VWAP market lens, risk rules, and strategy playbooks, so you’re not guessing or piecing together random strategies.

Step 2: See Real Trades

Weekly reports and trade alerts show you the exact setups, entries, and exits, with risk defined in dollars, so the map meets real trades so you can see how those principles look in real trades.

Step 3: Grow in Community

Live coaching calls and a like‑minded community help you stay disciplined, process emotions, and keep your trading aligned with your faith so discipline and peace can grow alongside your skill.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Built by a pastor, for Christian leaders. My system makes investing simple, strategic, and aligned with biblical principles.

Michael Shafer's Story:

“Facing the same financial uncertainty common among pastors, I stumbled upon a side hustle 15 years ago that revolutionized not just my finances, but my ability to serve in ministry without the looming stress of financial insecurity. This journey led me to a significant realization: financial freedom and ministry can coexist beautifully.”

But this isn't about Michael's journey...

Here are some real-life stories from others in the community

"His process works!"

“I have done this program consistently for six months now. For the eight out of the last 10 weeks, I have hit my weekly target in profit that allows me to pay a targeted portion of my bills without using my paycheck. Any Pastor should consider working with Michael because it is clear that he 100% cares about helping you make sure your financial future is more secure. There is no other agenda. And his process works!”

- Adam W., Arkansas

"I took control of my IRA"

“Using the method of investing I have learned through the program, we have been able to gain traction in our retirement programs and took control of our IRAs. I did not understand how to invest our portfolios and used mangers that cost 6%+ per year. This created a strain on our retirement during long term down periods in the market. We have gained more than the cost of the program in several days.”

- Aaron S., Oklahoma

"My account has grown 65.5%!!"

"I made my first trade with real money one year ago. I had $2400 in my account. Closing today’s trade, my account has grown 65.5%!! This year alone it has grown 31.4% in 3 months. I want to say thank you for all you have taught me. I don’t know how often you are told that you are making a difference for pastors/missionaries in the area of finances, but you are definitely helping me."

- Lew J., Kenya

"The side-hustle I've been looking for."

“This has been exactly the kind of side-hustle I was looking for. I needed someone I could trust to teach me how to get more time back and stop doing side gigs that take hours of my time and eat away at my ministry focus. Plus, I make more money with this. A double win!"

- Will D., Arkansas
