Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Wouter Droppers, President of EuroPartners where he advises, supports, and encourages Christian entrepreneurs across Europe on the topic of faith and business. 

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.

He also shares what he is learning as he serves business leaders across multiple European nations, with a variety of religious and cultural differences, and how the presence of God continues to be the difference maker.

Today on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is 3-time returning guest Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, founding physician and CEO of Restorasis.

Saundra shares the journey of the past 4 years which is truly a testimony of how God enlarges our territory for the advancement of His Kingdom as we align with His purposes with obedience and faith-filled action. Prophetic destiny and the resources attached to it await our agreement and willingness to do the comfortable things.

Through Saundra’s story, we believe that you will be encouraged to embrace the lifestyle of the stretch, leverage the power of mentorship and community, and align yourself with God’s mind, His heart, and the unique Kingdom assignments that He has for you.

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. Jasper Ventures is a family-owned business that provides natural gas processing solutions to their clients, while also providing value to their employees and communities in a way that serves the Kingdom of God.

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.
