Repurposing Business236: Receiving, Releasing, Restoring with Brett JohnsonWhere does restoration begin? In this episode, Brett explores the first step of restoration: acquiring and stewarding capital. This is not only about money, but about recognizing all forms of capital and the resources already in our hands. To do this, we must jettison the wilderness mentality, the mindset shaped by scarcity and survival, and learn to live with the abundance of the Promised Land. Babylonian and Egyptian economics have no place in the Kingdom. Restoration requires a renewed way of seeing and stewarding what God entrusts to us. This conversation invites us...

Repurposing Business234: Waiting, Wondering, Trusting with Brett JohnsonWhat do you do when God delays? In this episode, Brett explores the tension of the in-between, the space between what God has spoken and when it finally comes to pass. In a world that expects everything instantly, even small delays can test our patience. But what happens when the waiting stretches into years, when careers stall, dreams fade, and hopes for family or calling remain deferred? This is where delay can become dangerous. The long wait can birth a crisis of faith or a quiet theology of failure. Yet Brett reminds us that delay...

The Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange was hacked in August 2016. 119,756 bitcoin, worth about US$72 million at the time, was stolen. Ilya Lichtenstein, 35, and Heather Morgan, 33, were arrested in February 2022 after the government seized approximately 95,000 of those stolen bitcoin from cryptocurrency wallets in the defendants’ control. They were arrested for laundering the money, not the hack. So WHO did the hack?
