Have One Honest Conversation Before You Join
Say what it is in one breath
Use plain words. Reborn Academy is an online academy for Christians who want faith, fitness, business, finances, and family under one standard. Mike Gagat and Daniel Ziedins are building it inside Thy Kingdom Network. It opens November 1, 2026. It is not a church and it does not replace Sunday.
If you cannot say that without a pitch deck, you are about to sell your household something you do not understand yet. Read what the academy will not do at reborn-academy.com/blog/what-reborn-academy-will-not-do before you explain it.
Say what it costs today
Today the waitlist costs nothing. It does not pick a tier and it does not lock a future price. Membership pricing is announced before launch. Say that. Do not soften it into 'it's basically free' if you mean the list, and do not promise a price you have not been given.
The page to join, when the conversation is done, is reborn-academy.com/waitlist. The launch details are at reborn-academy.com/launch.
Ask what the calendar owes them
A membership that only works if your people disappear is too expensive. Ask what evenings, mornings, or Sundays are already spoken for. Put the answer on the calendar the way you would put a client there. The standard for ambition and the household is at reborn-academy.com/blog/ambition-and-the-household.
Then ask if they want to be in the room or only informed. Both answers are allowed. Silence is not consent, and a surprise login on November 1 is not leadership.
Invite one person, or invite no one
If you know a believer who is ambitious and tired of growing alone, have the same conversation with them. Tell them the limits. Send one link. Do not hand the decision to a broadcast.
If you do not know that person yet, join anyway and keep your word at home. The final list of what to finish this month is at reborn-academy.com/blog/what-to-finish-before-november-1.
Straight answers
How do I explain Reborn Academy to my family?
Say it is an online faith-based academy, not a church, opening November 1, 2026. Say the waitlist is free and does not lock a paid plan. Ask what they need from your calendar. Invite them only if it serves them.
Should I join the Reborn Academy waitlist without talking to my household?
Talk first if someone shares your table. Tell them what it is, what it costs today (nothing), and what time it might ask later. The waitlist itself does not charge you or lock a plan.
