A humble promise made in Mary's Rose Garden becomes the catalyst for an extraordinary spiritual movement spanning decades and continents. We dive deep into the origins of Built for Greatness (BFG), a movement founded by Keith Hong after a series of remarkable divine encounters that transformed his life's direction.
The story unfolds through seemingly orchestrated meetings with unexpected mentors - from a homeless man named Richard who appears precisely when needed to provide spiritual guidance, to theologians and church leaders who affirm Keith's unique calling. At the heart of the narrative lies the "Miracle Candles" experience, where votives burn without wax for six months, cementing Keith's conviction that he must create a handbook bridging Eastern and Western spirituality.
What makes this journey particularly fascinating is how personal struggle intertwines with divine provision. After seven years dedicated to developing BFG, Keith's business collapses completely, yet unexpected financial restoration arrives precisely when needed. The pivotal moment comes when five gifts Keith presents to Bishop Kevin Vann perfectly align with the five symbols on the Bishop's coat of arms - a confirmation that transcends coincidence.
The movement draws profound strength from Keith's Vietnamese Catholic heritage, revealing generations of martyrdom and faith dating back centuries. This ancestral foundation gives BFG unique positioning for fostering dialogue across faith traditions while remaining rooted in core Christian principles of loving God and neighbor.
Whether you're fascinated by stories of divine intervention, interested in cross-cultural spiritual approaches, or simply curious about how ordinary people become catalysts for movements larger than themselves, this episode offers compelling insights into the power of individual faith journeys to spark broader spiritual renewal. What unexpected encounters in your own life might be guiding you toward a greater purpose?
