Where Do You Start?
The Story of the Farrells
Peter Ferrell once believed success depended entirely on his own effort. That lie drove him to strive harder, chase more, and carry a weight he was never meant to bear. Then God interrupted the story. In this honest reflection, Peter shares how surrender transformed his view of money—from a measure of control to a tool for calling. “In God We Trust” isn’t just a motto stamped on our currency. It’s a declaration of His ownership. And real freedom begins when we start following His plan, not ours.

Impact Foundation
Founded in 2015 – Headquarters in Lenexa, KS
Impact Foundation exists to invest charitable capital for economic, social, and spiritual transformation—its version of impact investing. It represents the next iteration of philanthropy, as innovative foundations and givers have recognized that all enterprises—not just charities—can produce both social and financial results on a spectrum from positive to negative. While the organization believes impact investing is here for the long run, it recognizes that not everyone engages with it daily. For that reason, Impact Foundation provides this summary of the most important conversations in impact investing.
