496 - How Serving in Africa Changed Our Lives Forever | The Power of Simplicity & One Accord

The Secret To Success with CJ, Karl, Jemal & Eric Thomas

Karl returns from a life-changing mission trip to Kenya — but what started as a service project turned into a soul reset. In this episode, the guys unpack what it really means to live with less, why simplicity brings peace, and how one week of building a school in the mountains revealed what America often distracts us from.

From 400 kids with no phones and no complaints, to laying bricks alongside his kids and a 75-year-old volunteer — Karl shares how being on one accord with strangers unlocked more purpose than years of hustle ever could.

✈️ What you'll hear:

• Why too many options can steal your joy

• The truth about mission trips: it’s not about what you give

• How silence, service, and sacrifice create lasting transformation

• And the surprising leadership lesson from a brick wall

🌍 One trip. One school. One powerful reminder:
Peace doesn't come from possessions — it comes from purpose.
