In this episode, Richey Owen interviews Shawn Ring, Founder/CEO of Avodah + AvodahMed, an AI-powered technology company transforming language translation (including ASL) and digital healthcare. Shawn shares how faith shaped his entrepreneurship, the meaning of “Avodah” (work, worship, and service), and why AI should be used to serve people—not replace them. He also explains how Avodah accelerates Bible translation and how AvodahMed is improving virtual healthcare communication, charting, and patient experience.

One of the questions we explore, Is AI primarily a threat… or a tool?And who should be shaping the ethical boundaries of how it’s used?

In this episode of the Marketplace Kings Prosperity Podcast, Richey sits down with John Myers (co-founder of MBL Title and Crown & Covenant Foundation) and Patrick Palmer (Crown & Covenant Foundation) for a high-level conversation on kingdom stewardship, scaling impact, and merging business with ministry the right way.

John shares the turning point that shifted entrepreneurship from ambition to assignment—and what it means to “sell your business to God.” Patrick unpacks his redemption story and how his calling became helping ministries scale with operational excellence, fundraising strategy, and leadership alignment.

Together they break down the Crown & Covenant model: Crown (resource gatherers) + Covenant (vocational ministry) + Foundation (strategic giving)—so kingdom work multiplies beyond what either side can do alone.

Key Takeaways

Entrepreneurship can be obedience, not ego: “I can’t let another grown man decide when I get to be a husband and father.”

Leadership requires love + fiduciary responsibility: mentoring vs. releasing people when they can’t grow.Killing the flesh is daily: stop chasing money/ego and lead from selflessness.

God as CEO/investor: decisions filtered through prayer, counsel, and obedience.

Litmus test: if you never make a decision that “makes no sense” to a non-believer, you may not be listening.Crown & Covenant model: business leaders + ministry leaders + strategic giving = measurable scaling (2x–3x outcomes).Business is ministry; ministry is business: separate compartments reduce effectiveness—unity unlocks multiplication.
