Some foundations are laid long before we recognise them — and some callings run deeper than career. In this episode of The Bizzin Podcast, Des-lie speaks with Christiaan Blignaut, Partner at the George Animal Clinic and Founder of Zeal Men’s Ministry, about a life shaped by mission, identity, and generational purpose. Raised in a missionary household with four brothers, Christiaan’s upbringing was built outdoors, in service, and in simplicity — a foundation he only realised the value of much later. With a great-grandfather who became a missionary and every generation after stepping into ministry through their professions, Christiaan continues the legacy by helping men rediscover Godly identity through Zeal, a ministry addressing one of the biggest challenges of our time: fatherlessness. He shares the pivotal moment when a teacher called out a higher identity in him — a reminder of how one voice of belief can shape a man’s future. Christiaan opens up about balancing family, work, and ministry, the danger of passions pulling us in every direction, and the importance of building a marriage that allows your spouse to flourish. A deeply moving conversation about identity, legacy, calling, and becoming the man you were created to be — powered by Bizzin.
