In this episode of the Liberty Spenders™ Podcast, hosts Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt sit down with bestselling author, speaker, and leadership expert Chris Widener for a powerful conversation about faith, business, and cultural renewal. They unpack what it means to be a “Liberty Spender”—a growing group of conservative and Christian consumers—and how this audience is shaping the future of the marketplace.

Widener shares his insights on the cycles of revival in America, the role of the church, and why cultural change often starts in small, personal acts of faith. The discussion moves from spiritual renewal to practical leadership, exploring how character defines influence, how Christian business owners can transform culture, and why reframing your work around a higher purpose can change everything.

For entrepreneurs and business leaders alike, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that building a thriving business and building the Kingdom aren’t separate missions—they’re one and the same.
Key Takeaways from the episode:
Reframe your business as a Kingdom mission. Stop viewing your work as “just business.” Every product you sell, service you deliver, or team you lead can be part of something eternal.

Lead with character, not credentials. True influence doesn’t come from titles, talent, or tactics—it comes from integrity. People follow who you are more than what you do.
Build rest and renewal into your business rhythm. Burnout blocks spiritual clarity. Rest restores it. Taking time away isn’t lazy—it’s stewardship.
Share your story, not just your strategy. Revival starts with testimony. People are moved by authenticity, not polish.
Redefine success through impact. You’re not just chasing revenue—you’re building legacy. The true measure of success is the lives changed because your business exists.
