- We all have ambition-a drive to fulfill God’s calling on our lives. But ambition can be dangerous if not aligned with His will. So how do we discern godly ambition from selfish ambition? First, we must define what is selfish ambition? What does godly ambition involve? What are the rules of godly ambition? - and how do we keep it God-centered?

Wow wow wow. I have pages of notes why isn the church teaching this. This needs to be shouted from the roof top. This is helping me to introspection as I continue to elevate to make sure I’m in alignment with growing God’s kingdom.
Sooo good! And so timely! Receiving this message after getting some green lights from the Lord is truly a gift. So grateful for this framework for staying in godly ambition. Thank you!
Right there “where godly ambition is called to go, it will Always scare man’s flesh.”-- I’m never really scared tho. I’m nervous but not scared, and that’s why I battle if it’s godly or selfish. For real, I’m excited to be Jesus’s disciple and down for wherever He sends me. It’s like I’m confident even though I have never done it before.
Preston, I thank God for your ministry because it was shared with me at a time when this 54-year-old sleeper, raised in the church, is finally discovering intimacy with God. As that intimacy grows, no hurry, I am thankful that you speak the word clearly and boldly, and with a sincerity that encourages less of us, and more of Him.
I feel like there is something he's leading me to, but I'll let him take me there in his timing.
Only do it WHEN..."timing is everything." A true reminder that I need to be in conversation with God at ALL times...
Loved every second of this. Thank you Preston for always being authentic about God and his word!! Bless xx
Wow, as faith driven founders, this episode really resonates. We have decided from the start almost 4 years ago that we would do everything from a moral perspective from the most highest level of the company no matter how big we get. We always consider our employees and will create experiences for anyone that has helped us to show that we are grateful and lead by example in giving glory to God for everything that we have achieved and overcame. Our testimony will prove God’s existence.
I am truly thankful for this podcast. God's hand is truly upon it. May the Lord continue to bless this ministry. ❤️🔥💯❣️
This was episode was beautifully delivered. So often we get so hungry to serve the Lord we loose focus on the how, when, and where. My go to has always been Psalm 46:10 Be STILL and know that I am God. When I become still and wait He never fails guiding me. I firmly believe we live in such a rushed fast world that in the being still and waiting most become uncomfortable and impatient and they begin to think they "Heard" God say go. So when I think I have heard God I kindky ask Him. Lord like Gideon can I have three confimations I dont care how long the three take and in the three ways you show me. Please show me. From past mistakes of going and doing outside of your time has taught me well I dont want that so Ill wait and see as you showed Gideon.
I was one of the ones who believed any ambition was ungodly so I held off on starting a YT channel! This is soooo freeing. Thank you😭
Haven’t really listened to you much, but you sound like a real one.
Jesus taught me that parable with the money was about sharing the love ,word,kingdom with others because it is my salvation that makes me rich. So do not bury it but share it. So it can then be shared by the ones you tell to others. Acting as a form of interest.
BRUUUUUHHHHH. i’m 23 minutes in. this entire moment is resonating with His presence. needed this cut more than i knew. you’re a humbling example of His goodness and faithfulness. thank you sir!!!
And so I weep, a very Healing and renewing weep!
Praise God for this. I was praying because I wanted to make sure what I'm moving towards was Godly ambition. This video was super helpful.
Uncle Prez! That “not yet” hit me hard and this whole episode definitely cut me. Thank you!
Amen!! This episode was spot on to what I needed to hear today.
You hit a handful of my favorite verses God has used for a lot of events in my life. But overall, yes- timing is everything
Thank you Lord for the work you have done in Preston’s life and the powerful lessons shared with us through this podcast.
🔥🔥🔥
Today's message with Preston was ❤🔥! I'm so excited to step into God's calling for me this year. Using our gifts for the Kingdom versus our own ambitions (1 Peter 4:10) really hit home. I realized that true kingdom growth comes when I use my gifts to benefit others, not myself. It's about serving others, not seeking personal fame, which doesn't bring God glory.
I freakin love your messages Preston. I look forward to hearing what God reveals thru you.
Needed this TODAY Preston!
Love this episode. Mr Preston you always talk about stuff to cuts on me deep. And this one has hit me hard cuz I was just praying the other day for the lord to cut out any of the self ambitious out of me. Then here you are talking about it. Can I ask for prayers to heal my COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME. It has gone from my hands now down to my legs. It's getting worse now and it really hurts. Thank ya so much and I truly love ya very much.
This was so good 👏🏾
I will enjoy processing this.
so good 🙏
This was amazing!! Thank you Jesus and thank you Preston. Wow, was this so confirming.
This is so good
Exceptional!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
GOOD STUFF HERE. Thank you!
This is good
And.. I’ll say no to a lot of things because I’m unsure if it’s me or Him because I’m so excited. Idk
this prayer at the beginning got me uttering the groanings of the spirit😂
why would he burden me with this desire to be so generous and want to help fund the kingdom? Or tell us stories of wealthy kings who were able to be used by him? I know it’ll get off on me in my obedience. So it’s not my focus. This topic was historically kinda disheartening for me based on how the messages were preached. I pray it’s godly ambition. So I gotta run this back to be sure.
praying that your heart will know peace in this. we know He’s not the author of confusion. your way will be found through drawing nearer to Him!! that intimacy is priceless.
He also told us stories of poor widows who gave two Pennies and was far more generous than any of those around her. There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting wealth to use for the Kingdom, but if that is the only way you think God will use you then you are mistaken. God used David abundantly before he ever was a wealthy King.
Gos will know the bits in us we can’t even comprehend yet. There might be a situation in the future where God knows we could be compromised and either prevents us from that fall or prepares us (refines us) to make the Kingdom choice when it does come up.

Although there is balance between encouragement and being real. Kind of sinister and dis heartening. I feel a little bit of negativity coming from the things you say. Almost a pattern.
Would love to hear where the sinister is. Never my intent so I’d love to hear where you see it!
I always feel that Preston is being authentic. He reveals where we fall down ourselves, as he had done. I hear a realistic message, it never feels negative to me. Perhaps that’s the trigger you need to take to the cross friend. Ask for revelation as to why you feel this way. Deepen your own faith and you may understand your own thoughts better. ❤ Do you read this as negative or truth ?
