Although my wife and I really enjoyed the Christian speakers at the event in Tampa, we felt as though we were deceived with the ultimate goal of the organization. They focused heavily on trying to get people to sign up for Trade Surge “master classes” over a 3 day weekend. Then they pushed a real estate course of “master classes” over another 3 day weekend. Once we made the drive back home, we did more research and discovered that the master classes are another high pressure venue for them to push people into borrowing $20,000 to $30,000 for “personal coaches” on how to use the programs. This is absurd and not part of any of the Christian teachings we have learned, and my wife’s father is a pastor and my best friend is a pastor! I feel ashamed that they are using Christianity to prey on people instead of praying for people! I am equally ashamed that big name celebrities are associated with this business. Are they even aware of what goes on behind the scenes? We were so disgusted that we didn’t even bother asking for a refund. All I can do is spread the truth about their underlying goals to save others from the pyramid scheme marketing they are using to prey on innocent and hard working attendees. Also, if you dig deep enough, you will find articles about the founder, Joe Johnson, doing this before and ripping off a woman in Utah for $12 million. Please do your research before getting duped by these false prophets! I know what my Bible says and what they push here is not it!Life Surge LLC

We are thrilled to hear about your enjoyment you and your wife experienced at the event. We would like to address a few of your concerns as we are committed to both transparency and providing valuable education. Life Surge events aim to equip believers, not just inspire them. As you saw, we offer a full day of testimonies, stories, and inspiration that leaves you excited for what God has for you, but we also offer additional content. Our goal is to provide educational resources and tools that also give you practical next steps to implement in your daily life. We offer lifetime access to training which some of our students require financing for. We believe everyone should have access to financial mentorship and training which is why we offer financing; some students don't have the funds to pay upfront and we believe providing options is important. Regarding your mention of high-pressure tactics or financial commitments, we take such concerns seriously and are committed to escalating your feedback to our team. We appreciate your decision to share your concerns openly, and we will take your feedback into account as we strive to improve. If there are specific details you wish to discuss further or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. Once again, we apologize for any misunderstanding or discomfort this may have caused. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address your concerns and work towards better serving our community.Review fromSherri E

I signed up for SurgeU for trading and I'm about 60% done my first course. I'm learning so much. The platform is high quality and I'm able to learn at my own pace. I'm able to talk with instructors and support staff. There are live classes with question and answer sessions. I'm excited to see how I'll be able to make a kingdom impact!Life Surge LLC

Very upsetting. I attended this on 7/13 and paid $97 for the classes. Immediately after the event, started getting emails about it. This gave me an uneasy feeling, and I started researching online. I could not find ONE positive review on YouTube or anything. So, I emailed a .pdf of my "notice of cancellation". I got an autoreply saying someone would get back to me in 24 hours. Nope. To date, I have emailed three times and left two voicemails. We will see if Life Surge makes good on this money back guarantee.
Yes, I should have researched this more before going, but being a Christian event, I trusted the speakers, the company. I feel totally scammed and saddened by this. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing I guess. Lesson learned.Life Surge LLC

It's a SCAM!! Luring volumes of Christians in with (probably unknowing of the scam) big named Christian speakers to take advantage of Christians trust for other "self-professed" Christians. More than half of the event becomes an infomercial for "getting rich" either in real estate or the stock market. I really tried to keep an open mind and "hope" they were doing the Christian thing. They show you software and pitch it as something ANYONE can do. Then after the 35 - 45 minute pitch they then tell you that it's not really that simple and you should attend a weekend class to get you going. Then I hear from attendees at these classes they are trying to sell coaching at the cost of $20.000 to $30,000. Even having financial organizations there to give you a loan if needed. NOT Christian characteristics at all!!Life Surge LLC

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your attendance at Life Surge, and we take all attendee experiences seriously.
Life Surge events aim to equip believers, not just inspire them. One way we do that is to provide optional training and education for attendees who wish to learn more on how to maximize their influence and further their reach to make an impact on their family, churches, and community. Life Surge partners with speakers who stewarded their God-given gifts and were intentional with bringing those into the marketplace.
We offer optional wealth-building resources for those that want to begin a journey to create and multiply financial resources for Kingdom Impact. These are tools to equip attendees with foundational knowledge and concepts. Weekend courses and coaching programs provide deeper resources and opportunities for those interested.
And, yes, we offer financial aid options for those who qualify for our ongoing mentorship and training programs and want to invest in their education. As aforementioned, all training, education, and mentorship is optional.
We strive to be transparent and would love to connect with you to learn how we can do better moving forward. Please send your feedback to ****@lifesurge.comReview fromLucas M

I feel Life Surge Miniseries was not forthcoming. While at the conference, were encouraged to attend the three day impact classes to learn how to invest In the stock market and real estate. We paid for the classes, but when we arrived, people were being let in for free. During the classes, we were told we would not be able to apply what we had learned during the impact classes. Those involved used high pressure sales tactics to convince people to pay enormous amounts of money for the actual training. This training would be done at a later date. We were also encouraged to make the decision without time to consider whether it was a good investment. We were encouraged to place $30,000 on our credit cards. I want to believe Life Surge has good intentions, but everyone in our group felt misled and manipulated. No, I would not like to see more class experiences like this one. I dont have a problem with ministries making money while helping others but, ministries should be upfront about the cost of their services. We drove three hours and stayed in a hotel. It would have been nice to know the actual training is $30,000.Life Surge LLC

If zero stars were an option, thats what Life Surge Event would get. False advertisement regarding this event! Yes, you will get about 2mins of inspiration from speakers, after that they talk about the wealth theyve gained, showed amazing photos of their families on lavish extended international vacations , preying on SINGLE MOMS, seriously? This will not make you feel excited about your faith journey, it will cause you to lose money with all the $4000.00 classes reduced for that day only, better hurry and signed up (not today satan, I followed the path that leads you away from temptation)! This is why some people are left with a bitter taste about religion. Every money hungry point was delivered in this event. I left before lunch. Its disappointing to see big names that you enjoy, selling a scam.Life Surge LLC

Dear *****,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the Life Surge Event. We take all reviews seriously and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We're sorry to hear that your experience at the event wasn't what you were hoping for. We want to assure you that we've processed a full refund for your attendance.A few items we would like to address:
Inspirational Content vs. Course Promotion: We create events that offer both inspiration and practical tools for Christian ******* While some speakers may share personal stories of success, the core focus of Life Surge is to inspire, transform, and EQUIP our attendees. While we offer inspirational content, our goal is to provide educational resources and tools that also give you practical next steps to implement in your daily life.
Financial Transparency: Our courses and products are completely optional. The event itself is designed to be inspirational. Our goal is to offer a full day of testimonies, stories, and inspiration that leaves you excited for what God has for you! We absolutely offer additional products and services because we think it is our responsibility to equip the Body of ******, but it's important to know that these are absolutely optional!We value your feedback and will use it to improve future Life Surge events. We want to ensure everyone feels welcome and receives value.
Sincerely,

If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered tickets and 5 minutes later realized I couldn't go. I requested a refund and was told I would receive that refund. It is now 2 months later and I have not received anything. I have been in communication with Life Surge and basically, I am getting “check is in the mail” response. It's obvious I'm not getting my money back. They have stopped responding to my emails after 2 months of communication. Christian organization? I think not. Pharisees would be a better description.Life Surge LLC
