In a world often divided by belief, Jon Zieve, a coach with ProAdvisorCoach, presents a compelling and deeply personal narrative that transcends traditional religious boundaries. His journey, marked by an unexpected encounter with with a painting of Jesus, offers a powerful testament to the transformative power of trust, love, and divine guidance in the business world.
Jon, raised in the Jewish faith, found himself on an unforeseen path in 2013. While visiting an art showing with his brother, a portrait of Jesus by a naive painter from India captivated him. The sheer energy emanating from the artwork left an indelible impression, prompting him to return the following day. It was during a massage with his niece that the extraordinary occurred. The masseuse, a Reiki master, declared, "Jesus is in the room, and Mary Magdalene's in the room." She then conveyed a message from Jesus: to spread spiritual principles to the business world.
Initially, Jon admits, this revelation was unsettling. "I'm raised Jewish. I was raised, like, to defend myself from people trying to convert me," he recalls. The idea of channeling Jesus was foreign and, frankly, frightening. Yet, the message resonated. Two years later, after learning to raise his vibrational frequency, Jon began to channel Jesus. "He told me, 'You're gonna write a book, and it's gonna be, I'm gonna write it,'" Jon recounts. This was in 2015, and the book, focused on the message of 'heaven on earth' and 'the meek shall inherit the earth,' is now nearing completion. It provides practical tools for living these principles, and, as Jon attests, it's freaking working.
Jon's coaching philosophy is directly informed by these channeled teachings. He emphasizes that he is not religious and doesn't claim to be a Christian in the traditional sense, but he recognizes truth when he hears it. His work with entrepreneurs, primarily financial advisors, focuses on helping them identify their ideal clients and deepen relationships beyond mere financial transactions. He guides them to become coaches themselves, fostering personal growth and helping clients connect with their authentic selves.
"What I do is I help people unwind the judgment, which Jesus helps me do," Jon explains. "Jesus is about love, not judgment." He believes that from a young age, individuals adopt survival strategies and protective mechanisms due to perceived judgment. His coaching aims to dismantle these, enabling people to embrace their "loving, vibrational, unique, loving vibration without protection." He emphasizes that "God protects them. They don't need to protect themselves."
When asked for an encouraging word for entrepreneurs and business owners, Jon's response is simple yet profound: "Trust, love." He notes the visceral reaction this phrase elicits, a straightening of the spine, a tangible shift in posture. It's a reminder of the power of these core principles in navigating the challenges and opportunities of the business world.
Jon Zieve's story is a powerful illustration of an individual responding to a divine call, regardless of background or preconceived notions. It highlights the universal applicability of Christ's teachings of love and trust, demonstrating how these principles can profoundly impact personal and professional lives. His journey, from a Jewish upbringing to channeling Christ's wisdom, serves as an inspiring example of faith in action, transforming lives one coaching session and one book at a time.
