What happens when faith and entrepreneurship collide at full speed? Ken and Nate reveal the journey behind building the GSD Purpose Engine, an ecosystem designed specifically for faith-based entrepreneurs seeking alignment in their core five areas: faith, health, relationships, business, and finances.

The story begins five years ago at a coffee shop in Georgia, where two men with complementary gifts – a visionary and an architect – forged a mission to help entrepreneurs see their faith as a superpower rather than a liability in the marketplace. Fast forward to today, their CREATE Conference just welcomed over 400 faith-fueled business owners eager to connect their Sunday beliefs with their Monday actions.

At the heart of their message lies a profound shift from conventional business thinking. While most entrepreneurs chase success hoping to find significance, Ken and Nate argue for the reverse: pursue significance first, and success naturally follows. Similarly, they challenge the growth-at-all-costs mentality by introducing an expansion mindset—focusing on WHO you surround yourself with rather than WHAT systems you implement.

"We're leaving the era of growth and entering the era of expansion," Nate explains, highlighting how this approach becomes particularly vital in today's "trust economy" where authenticity stands as the ultimate differentiator. As AI increasingly blurs the lines between real and artificial, the genuine purpose driving faith-based entrepreneurs becomes their most valuable asset.

Whether you're feeling isolated in your entrepreneurial journey, struggling to connect your faith with your business practices, or simply seeking a tribe of like-minded visionaries, the GSD Purpose Engine offers a refreshingly different approach. Their Proximity Series events, held monthly in Atlanta, provide a tangible entry point for those ready to embrace the process of building a business that reflects their deepest values and highest calling. No hype, no quick fixes—just authentic connection and purposeful expansion.
