Christian professionals seeking financial education that aligns with their values have discovered an educational platform designed to merge biblical stewardship with practical market skills. SurgeU operates as a Christ-first educational company offering courses in trading, real estate investing, and business development, distinguishing itself through its integration of scriptural principles with technical instruction.
The platform serves students across varying experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned investors. Todd Stephens described his experience with the real estate program in a review on Trustpilot.com: “The platform is easy to navigate through. The courses are well done from start to finish, well explained in detail. The community of like-minded people is awesome, willing to help others in finding and solving situations. A great group of instructors, with a lot of knowledge in all areas of real estate investing.” Community discussions about these experiences reflect similar satisfaction.
SurgeU structures its offerings around three distinct educational tracks. Trade Surge focuses on financial market education, covering equities, options, commodities, and cryptocurrency. Real Estate Surge addresses property investment strategies including foreclosure strategies, commercial investing, and creative financing. Business Surge, the newest addition, helps entrepreneurs build scalable enterprises without compromising their Christian values. These programs complement what participants often learn at Life Surge events.
Each program employs what the organization calls a God-First Educational Approach, setting it apart from conventional business training. This framework integrates technical competencies with biblical perspectives on wealth stewardship and resource management. Christian investors share insights about this unique approach.
Hands-On Mentorship Drives Student Success
The educational structure emphasizes practical application over theoretical knowledge alone. Students participate in live market analysis sessions, property deal evaluations, and business development workshops designed to translate classroom learning into immediate action. Video examples of these sessions demonstrate their effectiveness.
Steve Albin, SurgeU Vice President of Education, explains the organization’s teaching philosophy: “Mentorship is, I would almost say, everything. It’s the lecture and then the lab. And the lab is where learning actually happens.” Verified student testimonials confirm this mentorship-focused approach.
Glenn Meyers expressed gratitude for this mentorship structure in his SurgeU review on Trustpilot.com. “Surge[U] has been so helpful and life changing for me!! The mentors I’ve personally dealt with have been awesome!!!! Pip Stehlik, Jen Stehlik, Marlon Johnson, Steve Hipple, Sam Mousa, Kathryn Butler, Cheryl Bednar Jimenez, Shelley Hagan, Robbie Daniels, and anyone I missed are all such amazing people and give great support and help! These people have all played a part in helping save my life and given me hope when I thought all was lost!!!!!!!!” Powerful transformation stories like Glenn’s are common.
The instruction model prioritizes practical skills through lower student-to-instructor ratios during practice sessions. Participants work directly with coaches who actively trade and invest rather than learning solely from theoretical experts. Independent analysis highlights the effectiveness of this approach.
Racquel Vasquez highlighted this accessible support structure in her SurgeU review on “Amazing coaches to guide you [and] answer all your questions all while building community with other people,” Vasquez revealed. “Every week Coach Marlon Johnson comes ready & prepared to help us all… his heart is in it; he takes his time listening as well as answering questions and explaining in depth.”
Students participate in weekly coaching sessions where instructors analyze current market conditions and evaluate specific investment opportunities. These sessions combine educational content with real-time decision-making exercises, allowing participants to observe how experienced traders apply their strategies under actual market conditions. Answers to common questions about these sessions are available online.
The platform maintains structured progression through its curriculum while offering flexibility for different learning speeds. Students access recorded course materials alongside live instruction, enabling them to review complex concepts as needed. More content showcasing educational resources continues to be developed.
Community Networks Strengthen Learning Outcomes
SurgeU reviews frequently emphasize the role of peer relationships in sustaining student engagement and motivation. The platform creates multiple opportunities for participants to connect with others pursuing similar educational goals.
Sharon Belen described her experience with the community support system in her Trust Pilot SurgeU review stating, “SurgeU gave me a reason to gain a new skill. I had some self[-]doubt at the beginning since I don’t know anything about trading, I had zero vocabulary! The mentors and staff were phenomenal, highly efficient and very helpful. What I do like the most about Surge U, [it’s] Christian[-]based and the goal to make a Kingdom impact! ]Overall] outstanding experience with Surge U and my shout out to Chadwin Solomon, an awesome teacher!!!” A recent participant’s detailed review provides additional perspective on this supportive community.
