How Robin Shear’s passion for contagious joy offers a pathway toward an undivided life rooted in God’s love and shared through our stories.

Hero Profile

Robin Shear — Global Joy Speaker & Author
Kingdom Superpower: She helps people taste and steward joy in every season, so others can encounter God’s presence through life’s messy moments.

Three Main Takeaways

1. Joy can be your ministry—without a pulpit.
   Robin’s life shows that joy isn’t confined to faith spaces. Whether on a corporate stage or in a quiet conversation, the presence of God can shine through when we carry joy intentionally.

2. Your whole life is your witness.
   You don’t have to preach to share the Gospel. As Robin puts it, people “know you’re a Christian” not because of your words, but because of your presence. Your best words will flow from your presence; your own authentic transformation. A true guide shows people the way to a place they have already been; not a place they have just heard about.

3. You don’t have to feel ready to be faithful.
   Robin reminds us that God meets us in our real circumstances—not our polished ones. Starting with what we do know about God, even in uncertainty, creates space for transformation.

Hero Profile

Name: Ryan Wall
Company / Role: EOS Implementer, founder of FamilyOS, coach & systems builder
Industry: Leadership / Organizational coaching, faith‑driven entrepreneurship
Core Drive: Order
Hero Type: Leader / Achiever
Kingdom Superpower: Ryan’s Kingdom Superpower is bringing structure, vision, and frameworks to both organizations and families so people can live intentionally and finish well.

Three Main Takeaways

1. Finish well over start strong. One of Ryan’s defining moments was being asked early in college to write his own eulogy and tombstone—he’s lived with that question ever since: does what I’m doing today align with how I’ll want to be remembered?

2. Multiply through others over doing it all yourself. After seasons of founding tech ventures, crashing and recovering, Ryan shifted toward coaching others—helping leaders leverage gifts rather than shoulder everything alone.

3. Frameworks bring freedom, not rigidity. Whether in business (EOS) or in family life (FamilyOS), Ryan believes structure and systems are not ends in themselves, but tools to free us to focus on the essential: relationships, calling, faith, and generational legacy.

From soap operas to spiritual enterprise, Chris DeBlasio is leveraging creativity and commerce as a catalyst for Kingdom transformation in business communities.

Hero Profile

Name: Chris DeBlasio
Company / Role: Founder & Executive Director, ROI Discipleship (ROI Ministries)
Industry: Faith‑based entrepreneurship, discipleship in the marketplace, creative media
Core Drive: Progress — a consistent drive to build, to create, to multiply
Kingdom Superpower: Chris is a bridge‑builder who fuses creative influence and biblical leadership to equip marketplace leaders to make disciples and transform communities.

Three Main Takeaways

1. Creativity + Business Must Coexist Under Kingdom Principles
   Chris’s journey from acting, production, and entrepreneurship shows that creativity and commerce are not oppositional. He believes business done under biblical values isn’t secondary but a primary arena for Kingdom influence.

2. Leadership is Discipleship in Motion
   True leadership, as Chris describes, isn’t merely giving direction — it’s empowering others to lead, to disciple, to replicate the vision. He says, “you are not just leading them — you’re making them leaders.”

3. Community, Counsel & Multiplication Fuel Sustainability
   ROI Discipleship’s model underscores that growth alone isn’t enough. Wisdom through godly counsel, relational accountability, and multiplying leaders is essential to transform not just individuals, but whole communities through commerce.

Two leaders bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and faithful stewardship, offering clarity, caution, and calling for Kingdom-minded innovators.

Introducing Kai and Chad!

Kai Blakeboro, a senior research analyst at Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company, and Chad Wooters, co-founder of Kairos Talks, are two thought leaders navigating the crossroads of artificial intelligence and Christian faith. Their posture is clear-eyed and hopeful—deeply aware of both the dangers and the redemptive possibilities AI offers. With backgrounds in research, automation, and ministry-minded tech, they’re passionate about making AI accessible, ethical, and God-honoring. They carry the tone of wise stewards, not alarmists—inviting believers into thoughtful, transformative engagement with the digital frontier.

Three Main Takeaways1. AI Needs a Human Soul to Guide It
Chad and Kai are adamant: AI must serve people, not replace them. From helping businesses scale responsibly to training virtual assistants, they see AI as a multiplier—not a master. Their approach is both strategic and relational.

2. Caution Without Fear
Both leaders emphasize the importance of discernment. Whether it’s bias, loss of critical thinking, or data privacy, they advocate for healthy boundaries—especially in areas that affect spiritual and mental health.

3. Image Bearers Must Lead the Way
The foundational belief that humans are made in the image of God shapes everything. As Kai shared, “Humans were made in the image of God—AI wasn’t.” That truth becomes a north star in how we build, apply, and govern new tools.

Marvin Harrell invites others into awe through sacred storytelling, rescued identity, and kingdom-infused art — crafting spiritual artifacts that awaken wonder and point hearts to the Father.

Hero Profile

Name: Marvin Harrell
Company: Harrell Designs

Ministry: Artist, storyteller, nonprofit consultant / creator of “kingdom artifacts,” founder of Meet the Maker on Substack.
Industry: Faith-based arts, spiritual formation, nonprofit storytelling & communication

Kingdom Superpower:
Marvin’s Kingdom superpower is calling people to awe through creating “kingdom artifacts” — pieces of art, ritual, story, and imagination that invite people into awe, belonging, and the love of the Father.

He also curates others towards a mutual appreciation of art, creating spaces for shared awe.

Three Main Takeaways

1. Identity rescued is identity released.
   Marvin’s story shows that God’s rescue in moments of despair isn’t just for deliverance — it rebuilds how we see ourselves, enabling us to live freely, not from shame but from sonship.

2. Wonder, delight, worship are spiritual disciplines.
   Joy and awe aren’t optional extras or spontaneous byproducts — they are cultivated. Practices like delighting in God, setting rhythms of worship, inviting imagination, noticing beauty — these are spiritual tools that combat fear, scarcity, and identity-thieves.

3. Art & storytelling become portals into the Kingdom.
   When crafted from a heart rescued by God, art and narrative become artifacts that carry meaning across time. Marvin invites people not just to consume but to enter, investigate, belong, and be transformed.

One‑Sentence Summary of Kingdom Superpower:
Curt’s gift is helping organizations (especially nonprofits) weave together God’s presence, systems, leadership, and love—so that work becomes formation, joy, and impact, not just efficiency.

Three Main Takeaways

1. Living with God is the aim—not just doing ‘God’s work.’
   Curt emphasizes that the Christian invitation isn’t merely to perform spiritual duties for God, but to live life in deep relationship with Him—bringing God into every conversation, decision, and ordinary moment.

2. Reflection is non‑negotiable. Clarity comes when we stop, notice, and process.
   Curt introduces the clarity break: intentionally carving out time to reflect with God, asking “What am I ignoring? What am I trying to control or play safe with?” This becomes a counter to anxiety, fear, and doing life on autopilot.

3. Love + structure can coexist; integrity in leadership includes both people and performance.
   Curt holds a high bar—leading with order, clarity, and accountability—yet insists love be central. That means tough decisions done with honesty, care, and the posture that God cares for everyone involved.
