Brandon is also one of our beloved members of Team KDE, so we are delighted to introduce him to the entire community.

In this conversation, he shares what that has looked like in the operations and strategy of his financial planning business, plus how having a Kingdom perspective has shifted his approach to personal finance and the way he advises his clientele of young professionals.

The first time Jenny joined us on the podcast three years ago she shared her story about how she shifted out of her job as a corporate executive and became a top earner in a network marketing company.

In this conversation, she shares what she has learned growing and leading in network marketing with Kingdom culture, plus how she is partnering with God in a brand new business as a franchise owner, and stretching her pastoral muscles to lead and equip a younger generation of employees.

A self-described multilingual global citizen and prodigal son, Aaron started his financial capital investment company in response to sensing God's call to be a Kingdon financier. The company was birthed from a miracle years ago when he was down to his last few dollars, and its growth has been an ongoing testimony of God's provision and orchestration.

Today's guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is returning guest Bob Hasson, business consultant and the Founder and CEO of HPCI (a painting subcontractor business).

It is a Kingdom truth that we are rewarded with greater responsibility when we steward (or manage) well what God has placed in our hands. 

Bob has been a business owner for over 4 decades, and God has expanded him in multiple areas of life over the past several years. In this conversation, he shares how he is learning how to steward the harvest and increased authority while maintaining a rhythm of rest and a posture of surrender.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Ben Hardman, lead pastor of Grace Marietta church and founder of Kingdom Dreams Initiative.

As an apostolic and entrepreneurial pastor for nearly 3 decades, Ben calls himself  “co-vocational” as he is committed long-term to serve the body of Christ, both inside and outside of the local church. His passion is helping leaders to launch the good works that they are uniquely created and called to do as the scripture refers to in Ephesians 2:10.

In this conversation, Ben shares how he is harmonizing the many leadership roles that he operates in by God’s grace, and what he is learning along the way.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Stan Bullis, founding Partner of Unbridled Companies, an expanding group of 28 businesses. 

God has placed a driving passion in Stan’s heart to restore people and places by starting hundreds of businesses that last hundreds of years --  a big vision with a counter-cultural approach.

Stan shares his journey of walking out this unique God-given blueprint with his teams and how he has been led to model each of his businesses to be businesses of generosity, cultures of authenticity, and a collaboration of identities and destinies.

In today’s episode LaTara Venise, our Director of Culture, sat down with our co-founder and Chief Fire Igniter Shae Bynes in celebration of 10 years of the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur movement!

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is George Black, business strategist and founder of Live Truly Free. 

After two decades of working as a strategist and outsourced CFO, George sensed God’s leading to guide entrepreneurs to focus their passions, build great companies, and live truly free. 

Moving from working with clients quietly behind the scenes to releasing a message publicly in the marketplace requires a process, and it’s not always an easy one. In fact, while in the process of doing the work to release a message of “living truly free” to entrepreneurs around the globe, the Holy Spirit gently told George “You really aren’t living truly free.”  

In this conversation, George candidly shares how he navigated the process of finding his voice and breaking the boxes he had placed himself in, so that he could be free to bring his full self to the table and serve the people God has called him to in this season.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Shellie Ransom-Jackson, CEO of Benchmark Construction Consulting and Management Inc.

Shellie found the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur community and movement at a time when she was seeking mentorship that aligned with her desire to build and grow her business in the construction industry from a Christ-centered perspective. Shellie shares that she is a natural-born risktaker and truly had to learn how to seek and yield to God when it comes to decision-making and pursuing business opportunities. 

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing in pursuit of excellence, you’ll appreciate the challenges that she has overcome and is overcoming with the help of the Holy Spirit. Learning to work by the power of God’s grace has already led to Shellie experiencing more than she’d imagined in business.

Today’s guests on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast are husband and wife entrepreneur team Tim and Dr. Ramona Probasco, co-owners and inventors of inShield Wiper®. 

Tim and Dr. Ramona dedicated their business to Jesus as CEO years ago and have worked together to grow their business. They have sold over 250 million inShield Wipers primarily via live demonstration infomercials on QVC, but during the COVID pandemic, their business took a beating and sales plummeted. They are currently in the middle of an expansion of their business - a product line expansion, as well as a big move into retail.

They share with vulnerability and transparency, the journey of the last few years, the stretch they are faced with today, and how God has led them, empowered them, and strengthened them in the midst of it all.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Ryan Beck, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Pray.com, which he helped start alongside his fellow co-founding partners in 2016. 

Ryan shares how his first venture into business was a bit unconventional, selling drugs as a teenager, but he encountered God powerfully during his time in prison and gave his life to Christ. After being released from prison, he studied theology at bible college and also cultivated a heart for Kingdom impact.  He later pursued studies in computer science and developed skills to serve organizations at the intersection of technology and faith.

In this conversation, Ryan shares how he cultivates and expresses Kingdom culture through love in leadership as a CTO within the company, and how the Holy Spirit has guided him as he and his team have created the world’s #1 app for daily prayer and faith-based audio content.

Ryan’s story is truly one that illustrates God’s providence. As the Proverbs say, the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps, and many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is author and writing coach Nika Maples.  

At the age of 20, Nika experienced a massive brainstem stroke that left her quadriplegic, and the foundations were laid for her to trust God in ALL things as she walked through a journey of a miraculous recovery.  Nika shares about her adventurous and Holy Spirit-led transition from teaching English in public schools, to writing and speaking full time, to the work that she does today.  There’s much to glean from her walk with the Lord, learning to trust Him to indeed be the Source of provision.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Pete Jones, CEO of Daily Kairos and the creator of the Daily Kairos Journal. 

Pete is a corporate dropout turned full-time entrepreneur who left his big paycheck behind to align with what God was putting on his heart. He shares about his adventures in business and how he started to draw closer to God and begin to view his entire life and business as ministry. Some words and a vision from the Lord led to him and his wife starting an e-commerce business providing solutions to help others cultivate a lifestyle of engaging God.  In the process of helping others, he too is growing and experiencing more Kairos living (and working), led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Prior to his work with EuroPartners, Wouter served as president of several companies in the automotive industry, and while he lived a life that seemed successful, he realized he was, in reality, living a “me, myself, and I” centered life.  In this conversation, Wouter shares transparently about his journey with God, and how he shifted to a truly Christ-centered family and business life that is led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Portia Jackson, founder of Wealthy and Fulfilled. 

Portia describes her entrepreneurial journey as “a mix of the Israelites doing laps around a mountain that was supposed to be about 11 days, coupled with some Jonah trying to run away from fear, with a splash of Saul hiding out in the luggage, and that’s before she gets to the New Testament analogies.”

It’s a fun conversation about how Portia stepped out of a corporate career as a rocket scientist and eventually into God’s original call as a financial coach to online business owners.  She shares how she partners with Holy Spirit in her business, and how her spiritual giftings supercharge her natural giftings and interests, to bring transformation to those she serves.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Carrie-Ann Jasper Yearty, Vice President of People and Culture of Jasper Ventures.

In this episode, Carrie-Ann shares how she learned how to embrace working with God, partnering with Him to create a Kingdom culture within the company and provide leadership, love, and direction to their employees as together they solve problems in the oil and gas industry. 

We believe you’ll be encouraged to do the things that seem unreasonable (in the natural) to see God’s best unfold in the work you’re doing in the marketplace.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Tamika Ellsworth, Founder and CEO of Red Bow Real Estate.

After being radically saved at the age of 21, Tamika got her start in real estate through carpentry. Seeking and responding to the voice of the Lord became a way of life and work for her, and God continued to expand her territory in the real estate industry. Tamika shares her adventures of growing in faith, believing and seeing miracles in home buying, and inspiring faith in others as a result of her partnership with God. Her testimony is one that proves that despite popular belief it is indeed possible to navigate the real estate industry by the power of God’s grace -- no grinding necessary!

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Jim Baker, senior leader and pastor of Zion Christian Fellowship in Powell, Ohio, and the founder of the Wealth With God movement.

After seeing a massive breakthrough of miraculous healings take place in his local congregation, the Lord instructed Jim to go after finances the same way that they went after healing. His yes to that instruction led to an 18-part sermon series on finances and yielded amazing financial breakthrough among those in his church, with about 25% of the congregation getting completely out of debt within a year.  Soon after, he was given another assignment from God --  to create a movement of Kingdom wealth-builders who understand that prosperity has a purpose and that it’s about influence and impact.

In today’s episode, Jim shares the behind-the-scenes of what the last few years have looked like as he said yes to the assignment to launch the Wealth with God movement -- how he’s growing in working with God and in His rest. Plus you’ll hear some of the goodness of what He’s learned about building wealth in a Kingdom-driven way.

Donna’s story is yet another example of how nothing gets wasted in the Kingdom of God. She shares how her decades of commercial janitorial business experience plus her family’s own deconstruction and rebuilding process served as a catalyst to the work she is doing now as a family connection coach. You’ll hear how she is embracing her natural and spiritual giftings as she partners with God, and one of her daughters, to connect families with God and to each other so they step into identity and destiny, and establish a family legacy.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Phil Bynes, CEO of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur.  Phil and Shae continue the conversation on capacity, and in this episode they discuss the importance of increasing our capacity for Kingdom living and working, fully aligned with our identity in Christ.

Capacity Upgrade is the theme of our upcoming KDE LIVE event taking place in Nashville, TN on November 11-12, and we invite you to join us! Our time together will be focused on helping you increase your capacity to YIELD (to God), to DREAM (with God), to COLLABORATE (with others), and to BUILD (with God and others). As Kingdom-driven entrepreneurs we need to be positioned to be both a light and a solution in a spirit of unity.

“It works everywhere, and I’m not that smart.” 

These are the words of today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast, Ford Taylor. Ford is a trainer, consultant, and founder of Transformational Leadership. 

After years of growing a small sportswear business into a thriving $300-million dollar corporation, and then taking those lessons and serving as a consultant and trainer to companies and governments, Ford realized that his own wisdom and experiences could not possibly explain the success rate they were all experiencing. 

Ford’s training on how to lead people and how to manage the processes, systems, and procedures around them was consistently leading to transformation in the personal and business lives of every client he worked with -- so he started to ask the question “Is any of this stuff in the Bible?” 

Ford began to explore the Bible with a different lens and discovered that everything he was doing was rooted in the truth of scripture. In today’s episode, he shares his own story of the beauty of growing in God, the power of transparency, and the adventures of bringing a Kingdom message to the marketplace (both overtly and covertly).

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Bob Lotich, personal finance educator and founder of SeedTime.com.

Bob shares about his adventures with God as God led him and his family to embrace a sabbath lifestyle that is rooted in faith and generosity. Bob’s willingness to follow the leading and wisdom of the Holy Spirit led to paying off their home by age 31, reaching a personal goal of giving $1 million by age 40, and being able to take a full year sabbatical from operating his business.  

Listen in as Bob shares how he navigated the challenging seasons and how he continues to be stretched in sabbath living while stewarding his marketplace assignment as a trusted voice of experiencing financial freedom God’s way.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Joy Capps, 

Joy Capps, Founder of Engaging Business Communications, LLC is back on the podcast today. Joy has been a part of the KDE Family for a few years now and has really gone ALL THE WAY IN on this wild, crazy, and amazing adventure of Kingdom-driven entrepreneurship, and it has been a delight for me personally to have a front-row seat for much of it.

I like to have these update episodes with return guests from time to time so that you - as a listener - can get inspired, encouraged, in the JOURNEY -- and so this conversation you’ll hear with Joy is about how she has navigated the past year as God has been shifting her and expanding her territory in business. And you’ll hear about how she learned to “take the gloves off” and show up with intention and authenticity with a Kingdom-centered message for her industry  which is marketing and communications.

Today on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast, Phil and Shae Bynes give a behind-the-scenes look at what they are calling their “Grace Over Grind Level 3.0” season of life.

When God is preparing you to walk into a new season of life and business, it often comes with plenty of stretching (capacity building). Lessons you learned in the past provide a foundation, but you have to be willing to stay open to continuous growth in order to elevate and progress in what God has called you into.

This adventure looks different for every entrepreneur, but one of our core values in the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur movement is we authentically model the message that we carry to the marketplace, and that is why we as Team KDE remain committed to sharing our own stretches and what we are learning along the way. We pray you are encouraged and strengthened as a result!

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Brandon Haire, Operating Partner of Princeton Equity Group and author of The Business Revival: Getting What Is Inside of You Inside of Your Workplace.

Brandon has seen hundreds of people surrender their lives to Jesus Christ in the workplace, not because he was doing anything pushy or illegal, but because He was led by heaven’s wisdom, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the power of prayer.  

You’ll hear how two key questions that one of Brandon’s mentors encouraged him to answer years ago have served as a transformational guide no matter where God placed him in business. He also shares what it means to him to be a pastor in the marketplace.

Today on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is returning guest Shawn Bolz, TV host, author, producer, and minister. 

One of the things we love so much about Shawn is how he navigates what we call cultural landmines with such honor, love, and grace. He has been leading conversations in controversial spaces in the church, the entertainment industry, and the social justice movements, plus he’s really great about helping people to encounter God and hear God’s voice for themselves in a practical and powerful way.

And everything you just read is exactly what he discusses in this conversation. You’ll get a  behind the scenes look at how God is leading him as he navigates these spaces.You’ll hear so many Kingdom keys that will help you to steward the relationships, the favor, and the authority that God has given you in the spheres of influence He has called you to.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Eric Skeldon, founder and Visionary of Kingdom Warriors, a media franchise and community built through NFTs. 

Eric shares how God divinely orchestrated the creation of Kingdom Warriors, weaving together his interest in video games, NFTs, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and desire for global Kingdom impact.  You’ll hear how Eric walked out this God-idea: from idea to research to implementation to team development to launch in order to produce world-class stories that are already imparting identity and creating impact around the world.  

Our hope is that you will be encouraged to dream with God, be courageous to take steps in faith on the things He’s placed on your heart, and be open to what is possible with others because a God-given dream will require more than just yourself.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Jenny Rae Le Roux, CEO of Management Consulted, the world’s largest website and training resource on all things management and consulting.

She shares how years ago she was feeling dissatisfied with the leadership and the vision of the company she was working for and decided to resign. She set up a meeting with her boss, and the morning she was prepared to go into that resignation meeting, she heard from the Holy Spirit that she wasn’t supposed to resign from the company, she was supposed to buy the company! 

Eight months later, she did indeed purchase the company and has partnered with God since 2012 as its CEO and has seen the business thrive.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Colleen McCoy, founder of Beloved Housing and Beloved Treatment Center. Colleen and her team operate transitional housing programs in Southern California and provide Christ-centered recovery programs to help their clients establish or restore their faith and relationship with God while addressing their issues with addiction.

 

Colleen shares how encountered God powerfully in the midst of her own issues with addiction, how she partnered with Him in her advertising and marketing job, and how she was led to leave her job and launch Beloved Housing. She didn’t have the knowledge or the resources of how to do the work He was calling her to, but she took one step at a time with God. 

Through that obedience, resources followed and now through a hybrid for-profit and non-profit organizational structure, she is helping her clients to experience life more abundantly.

For the past several years, David has been investing in communities in partnership with God and in collaboration with others in order to create sustainable and systemic solutions. In this episode, he shares plenty of wisdom keys from the lessons He has learned from the Holy Spirit and through his experiences of cross-sector (and cross-denomination) collaboration.

Success in the Kingdom of God looks like faith partnered with your obedience. It is working by the power of God’s grace rather than relying primarily on your own grind (working in your own strength). It is the willingness to lean into God as He stretches you so that you and those you are called serve in business experience His best.  Dr. Tony’s story is a powerful example of these truths.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Joshua Stephens, CEO of King’s Loot, a multi-seven-figure company that started with a “God idea” for a leather wallet.

His story is a powerful testimony of:

• how intimacy with God is everything (and it reveals our identity)
• how God is the Source, and everyone and everything else is a resource
• how God can be the “Chief Anything Officer” in your business. 
• how we inherit the promises of God through faith, obedience, patience, and perseverance

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Pat Simes, Founder and CEO of Innovative Business Solutions, and one of our Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur certified service providers.  

While Pat shares that she had a strong relationship with the Lord and confidence in hearing His voice, she struggled in the area of grinding it out in business (doing business primarily in her own strength). In this episode, she shares some of the keys to moving from grinding to being both led and empowered by the Holy Spirit in business. 

Pat has experienced the goodness, favor, and acceleration that takes place as you align yourself with God, choose to be courageous and follow His leading, and connect yourself with an authentic Kingdom business community.

If you’ve struggled with working by God’s grace rather than grinding, you may find yourself in some aspect of Pat’s story, and hope you’ll be encouraged by what she shared.

Today’s episode of The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is a teaching led by Phil (our CEO) and Shae Bynes (our Founder & Chief Fire Igniter) on Kingdom collaboration and unity in the body of Christ which is a key element of Kingdom culture.

One of the core principles of the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur movement is a reflection of unity and collaboration. In other words, laying aside selfish ambition and independence to put the King’s agenda first, knowing that nothing is impossible when entrepreneurs within the Body of Christ come together with like minds and hearts. 

Listen in with an open heart and an open ear -- not only to the words that Phil and Shae share, but to what the Holy Spirit reveals to you and for you as you listen.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is returning guest LaTara Venise, Founder of The Color Your Soul Company and the Director of Culture on Team KDE.

One of the dangers we face as we begin to thrive in doing business in partnership with God is complacency. When you’re so grateful for all He has done and you’ve already experienced more than you’d ever imagined, it can be easy to get comfortable even when God has called you to more. 

LaTara Venise shares transparently about the powerful and practical steps she has taken over the past several months to shift from a place of complacency to grow in the capacity that God has given her both in life and business.

Mike is a former business executive who wanted his faith and his work to be fully integrated in an authentic way.

In this chat, Mike shares how he is growing this organization with God - exercising faith, patience, and diligence, and how he is helping people to be “marketplace missionaries.”
