Meet Jim Kukral

For 25-years Jim Kukral has been writing books (10), keynote speaking (150+), and building successful lifestyle businesses as a marketing entrepreneur.

But the pandemic and a near-death diagnosis of colon cancer changed everything for him in 2020, so he threw away all his past success to start something completely different, a new brand called Life Apocalypse.

As an almost fifty-year-old successful businessman, husband, and father of two, Jim realized that he needed to spend his remaining days on this planet helping people figure out how to live a life of significance, impact, and purpose. Jim created Life Apocalypse to help people like him who are thinking about legacy, death, lifestyle, and life purpose.

22 minutes to a Life Apocalypse

When Jim was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 and scheduled for operation, he was left alone in a hallway before his operation started for 22 minutes.

I was in my thoughts for 22 minutes. I [didn’t] think about the money or things like that. I thought, “what did I leave for my family in terms of legacy?” Meaning, what are my kids going to remember me by? (Jim Kukral)

That period of reflection, in the face of not knowing if he would survive, brought incredible insight into his life.

During those 22 minutes, Jim reconnected with the things that he realized were actually the most important in life, for him, and probably for other people as well.

Those 22 minutes were really the most important in my life because they allowed me to look and really think about what meant the most to me. (Kim Kukral)

Most people will experience this moment in life, where – due to life-threatening circumstances or unforeseen challenges – they realize what is truly important to them in this world. That is a life apocalypse event.

What is a Life Apocalypse?

Apocalypse is not only about zombies. It is also about a revolution and revelations.

These are what I call life apocalyptic events. A life apocalypse is a transitional moment in your life that’s usually not self-imposed that greatly directs how your life will move forward. (Jim Kukral)

Everyone will experience a life apocalypse at some point in their lives.

These can be positive moments such as the birth of your children, as well as negative moments, such as being diagnosed with cancer.

After traumatic experiences, people can experience post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. What they can also experience is post-traumatic growth, PTG.

When you change your mindset and think about how you can grow from a trauma, you can learn to change your life for the better after each moment of struggle.

Life is changing

Throughout the world, millions of people have experienced life apocalypses due to the pandemic, both good and bad. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in changes in lifestyles.

Everybody has shifted ... the world has shifted, their brains have shifted, and they’re not going back to the way it was before. (Jim Kukral)

More people have sold their cars and houses, quit their jobs, live on the road, make art, pursue their passions, and have finally started to create the lifestyles that they want for themselves instead of slogging away at what is expected of them.

The steps to overcoming a life apocalypse event

1 – Mindset: people think they always have more time than they have in life to do the things they want to do. Get your mindset right and move forward.

2 – Lifestyle: decide to change your life by changing your style of living. Can you let go of fear and ...

Maintaining hope in the church

How do you keep hope? You read the gospels. I think Jesus is literally the complete antonym of the American church in so many different ways, and if we really are preaching from our church to follow Jesus, I really hope people follow Jesus, and not just the construct we make church out to be. (Lathan Craft)

The church as an organization and the teachings of Jesus are not synonymous. You can follow Jesus and be faithful to God without being affiliated with a church or church as a construct.

Sometimes people try to convince you that to withdraw from the church community is to turn your back on Jesus, but that is not true.

Jesus is a part of you and your journey and is not something that the church should weaponize to keep you within the community.

If we keep saying, “follow Jesus”, I really hope Jesus changes our hearts and says, “okay, if you want to follow me then follow me ... don’t follow what you think I am ... the American flag or organized religion, follow me” ... if we really want hope, we follow in his footsteps and we see how he loved people and what he did. (Lathan Craft)

Can you follow Jesus and not the church?

To follow Jesus means to champion and support those whom society says are not good enough, and to love those that the church might even say are not good enough.

Jesus loved people and their stories and welcomed them into His space.

You can follow Jesus by embodying his teachings in your life instead of keeping to what the church says you should or should not do.

This idea and this reality of loving those who everyone else, in our culture, in Texas, in America, says, “they don’t fit what our church is or what our society is, therefore, we have nothing to do with them”, actually Jesus has everything to do with them. (Lathan Craft)

Jesus teaches people to love one another for who they are and not for who they want them to be.

If you see or sense an issue in the church, report it

If you become aware of a potential issue in your local church community, whether it is abuse, stealing, intentional hurt, or otherwise, do not hesitate to report it.

Sometimes people feel afraid to “go against” their church by commenting or reporting something suspicious, but that is not the case.

You are doing the right thing by bringing attention to an issue. Do not allow problems or abuse to go on if you sense that there may be an issue at hand.

Children in abuse ... will do whatever they possibly can to not say outright, “I’m being abused” and not show scars, but draw attention to themselves in a way that is different so that you might notice what is going on. (Lathan Craft)

It is the responsibility of adults to make sure that the people who need protection are taken care of.

The people in the congregation are the ones building the walls and [are] saying, “sweep that under the rug, let’s not talk about it because we want to look like the perfect church”, [but] to me the pe...
