Faith Driven Entrepreneur

"I wonder if churches do to people what zoos do to animals." – Mark Batterson Join us for an inspiring discussion on the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast with Mark Batterson, Bill Job, and Justin Forman as they unpack the concept of "holy curiosity" in entrepreneurship. This episode takes listeners on a journey from the coffeehouse-turned-church in Washington D.C. to the factory floors of China, revealing how faith can drive innovation and risk-taking in business. Batterson introduces his new book on rediscovering everyday miracles, while Job shares powerful anecdotes about finding joy and purpose in unexpected places. Together, they challenge the notion of "safe" Christianity and encourage entrepreneurs to embrace the adventure of faith-driven business. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to integrate their spiritual life with their entrepreneurial pursuits. Check the 🔗 below in the comments.

Unlocking Community Support: Love Works Transforms Lives What's our responsibility to care for our employees? With 53% of Americans reporting they only have between one and four close friends, church attendance declining, and people waiting longer to be married, the social fabric that once cared for people has weakened. Will the workplace pick up the slack? In many cases, likely not. But as redemptive entrepreneurs, we see the opportunity. Movement Mortgage proactively moves towards employees in crisis through their Love Works program - an employee-funded and employer-seeded initiative to be there for employees when the storms of life hit. – This full story can be viewed on the Faith Driven Entrepreneur YouTube page.

Wow, we still can’t get over the impact of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Conference that took place last week! 🌍 From Yaba, Lagos to Queensland, Australia, and from Kigali, Rwanda to Harare, Zimbabwe—entrepreneurs from all corners of the globe gathered to dive into transformative principles of what it means to truly 'trade up.' We learned that meaning isn't found in what the world tells us is valuable. Instead, by surrendering, we find the freedom to take bold risks, do great work, and compete with integrity in the marketplace. It was truly inspiring to see watch parties in places like: Australia Nigeria Singapore Cameroon London …and more! Our team is still buzzing with excitement. The energy was electric, the learning invaluable, and the connections unforgettable.

Transforming Profits: Movement Mortgage's Mission to Serve Marginalized Communities In 2008, the mortgage business was in a crisis. Banks became viewed as greedy institutions that couldn't be trusted. In the midst of the worst downtown of the modern-day American economy, Casey Crawford and Toby Harris saw the opportunity to tell a better story of banking. They co-founded Movement Mortgage with the mission of creating a movement of change in the banking industry, based on loving and valuing people in everything they do.

"We either live from Jesus’s performance or we die from our own. Performance-based living is a life rooted in our own accomplishments. As entrepreneurs, this often the place where we get attacked the most." Derwin L. Gray — Pastor, Former NFL Player
