If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, CEO, or business owner trying to honor God, but still feeling pressure, scarcity, and control, this episode is for you. 

Brandon Fannin shares the moment business stopped being “his” and became God’s… and how that shift changed everything: leadership, finances, team culture, and daily decisions. He opens up about the cost of building a living while forgetting to build a life, the pride trap that sneaks into “ministry in the marketplace,” and why kingdom business often feels like the opposite of normal business logic. You’ll hear a real-world framework for stewardship, trust, and surrender, plus practical rhythms that keep your heart aligned when the work gets intense. 

This conversation is about more than success; it’s about identity, sonship, and leading from provision instead of obligation. If you want to lead your company with servant leadership, shepherd your team well, serve customers with integrity, and build a business that actually belongs to God, press play.

Highlights:

→ You’ll learn the 3 ownership mindsets Christian business leaders drift into and how to move into true stewardship. 

→ Brandon breaks down how scarcity thinking shows up in hiring, delegation, and decision-making, and how trust reshapes your leadership. 

→ You’ll hear what it means to shepherd a team instead of just managing talent, including how to care for strong performers without letting them control the culture. 

→ Daily and weekly practices for spiritual alignment, gratitude, written prayer, priorities rooted in identity, and a real Sabbath rhythm, so you can lead with clarity, peace, and consistency.

You’ll Learn:

→ How Chad rebuilt after rock bottom and why abiding in God changed his results

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur who loves God but feels conflicted about money, ambition, and success, this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve wondered if building a business makes you “less spiritual,” or you’ve felt judged for wanting to grow, lead, and profit. 

In this Kingdom Entrepreneur episode, we tackle the most confronting question in faith and business: does your life, your relationships, your money, and your business belong to God, or not? Because if it belongs to God, then how you earn, spend, invest, lead, hire, serve customers, and build wealth actually matters. 

You’ll hear a personal story of making money early, feeling the tension between church and entrepreneurship, and discovering why the “American Dream” still leaves people empty. Then we anchor everything in scripture with a practical stewardship mindset: open hands, faithful management, and multiplication. This is not about God first and business second, this is about a God-centered life where faith, family, fitness, money, leadership, and work align. 

If you want clarity, peace, and direction in business without shrinking back or playing small, this message will reset your framework.

You’ll Learn: 

→ Why separating faith and entrepreneurship creates confusion, burnout, and quiet emptiness, and how alignment restores clarity. 

→ How Ecclesiastes exposes the moving goalpost of success and why hitting financial milestones still won’t satisfy your soul. 

→ A simple breakdown of the Parable of the Talents for entrepreneurs, what stewardship means, why God expects faithfulness, and how multiplication fits Kingdom impact. 

→ The “open hand” mindset: how to pursue growth with contentment, discern which opportunities are from God, and use business to bless customers, employees, and your community.

Are you tired of the tension of living faith on Sunday and running business like everyone else Monday through Saturday? The Kingdom Entrepreneur podcast is about integrating faith and business so your company becomes a platform for discipleship, stewardship, and transformation, not just profit.

I’m Ray Young; entrepreneur, leadership coach, consultant, husband, dad, and “Pop” to my grandkids, but first and foremost, a follower of Jesus. I’ve built businesses in financial services, insurance, car dealerships, cell phone stores, car washes, laundromats, construction, and more. Along the way, I learned leadership the hard way, found great mentors, and discovered a truth that changed everything: business is one of God’s greatest tools for transformation, because work is worship and leadership is stewardship. If you want biblical leadership, a scalable system, healthy teams, and a profitable business built on God’s principles, you’re in the right place.

In this episode:

→ You’ll learn how to scale your business without losing your soul, your family, or yourself, using practical biblical principles that actually work in real leadership.
