In this powerful and deeply personal episode, bestselling author and keynote speaker Ray Higdon returns to Uncensored Entrepreneurs to share the radical shifts that have transformed his life, business, and spiritual journey. From hitting rock bottom, to building a multi-million dollar company, Ray unpacks the real catalyst behind his breakthrough: forgiveness.
Ray gets raw about his obedience-led decision to publicly declare his faith, even when it cost him followers and business relationships. He shares how integrating ministry into his marketplace mission has changed lives—including his own—and offers a vulnerable look into the spiritual "agreements" that held him back physically, emotionally, and financially.
This isn’t just a story about success—it’s a masterclass in surrender, identity, healing, and the supernatural power of forgiveness.
