9 Months. One Calling. A Business That's Yours.
If you have a calling in your heart and you're ready to build something that matters - not someday, but now - then Divergent University was made for you.

Most education fills you with information and tests you on it. Divergent University pulls idea out of you. We don't lecture. We don't test. We don't sort you into a career that someone else designed. We build a learning environment around your specific calling and we don't stop until you've turned it into something real.
This is called divergent thinking: the practice of expanding ideas and solving problems that don't have a single right answer. It's how visionaries think and it's the foundation of everything we do.
Divergent University Components
Group Workshops
15 hours per week on campus in Orlando, Florida with a cohort of 9 students. Every session is an open discussion, not a lecture.
One on One Coaching
30 minutes every week with a faith-driven business coach who has made at least $1 million in revenue for their own business.
Student Workbooks
9 hardcover workbooks across three trimesters with 1,000+ pages of material designed to take your calling from idea to $100,000 in real time.
Daily Bible Study
Every day begins with scripture. Not a preaching but an open dialogue where your perspective is valued and encouraged.
Three Major Events
A leadership banquet with alumni, a live business expo for your launch, and a theatrical conference for you to share the stage.
Peer Co-Working
You'll build alongside other purpose-driven founders in a shared workspace. Community accelerates everything.
A Day in the Life
You arrive to campus in Orlando at 9am. You open with a small-group Bible study. This is not a lecture, but a conversation. You wrestle with a passage, share what you noticed, and carry something true into the rest of your morning.
By 10am you're in a workshop. Today it's brand strategy. Your facilitator, a founder who's built a business that's made over $1 million in revenue, asks you questions you haven't thought to ask yourself. By 11am you're co-working alongside other student founders, building your actual business: writing copy, reaching out to the first customers, getting feedback in real time.
By 2pm you finish your one on one coaching session and set new goals for the week. You leave with something you didn't have when you arrived that morning - clarity, a decision made, a step taken.
This type of learning builds upon itself throughout a progressing journey three days per week for 9 months.
Divergent University's Curriculum
Phase 1: Personal Development
(September-December)
You can't build something lasting on an unstable foundation. The first 90 days are about excavating who you are - your mindset, your emotional intelligence, and your God-given identity. This foundation ensures what you build next doesn't collapse under pressure.
Workshops cover divergent thinking, emotional balance, and high-performance habits. By the end of Phase 1, you'll know exactly what you're building and why.
Phase 2: Business Launch
(January-March)
Now you build. Students register real businesses, create real offers, and generate real revenue. This is all in a competitive environment that sharpens your skills under safe pressure. By the end of these 90 days you'll have a registered LLC and your first sales.
Guest speakers include founders who've made $10M+, investors, ministry professionals, and industry leaders who've built businesses you've probably heard of.
Phase 3: Leadership & Speaking
(April-June)
The final phase is about stepping into who you've become. You'll learn how to hire your first employee, create systems for scaling your business, and prepare a speech for our end of year conference. You'll have chance to share your calling on stage as a capstone to the whole program. Because a divergent leader doesn't just create. They inspire others to create.
