Monday Movement

How do you stay faithful to God while leading, working, and engaging with the culture around you?

In this episode of the Monday Movement Vodcast, Mark Bilton speaks with Joshua Auld, Chief Operating Officer at FORM, the not-for-profit behind the ASPIRE Conference.

Joshua previously served as General Manager of the Lachlan Macquarie Institute, where he helped equip Christian leaders for politics and culture. He first completed LMI’s residential fellowship in 2017 and later earned an MBA. Today, he is passionate about helping Christians engage faithfully with the world around them.

Mark and Joshua explore what it means to live an integrated Christian life, where faith is not limited to Sunday or church ministry.

They discuss why God is interested in our work, how business and leadership can be part of our calling, and why Christians should see their everyday responsibilities as places where they can serve, influence, and lead well.

The conversation also looks at career transitions and discernment. Joshua shares how prayer, wise counsel, preparation, and obedience shaped his own move into a new season, and why God often gives us the next step rather than the full picture.

They also talk about Christian influence in culture, politics, technology, and AI, and why believers should not automatically withdraw from difficult or changing spaces.

This episode is for Christian business owners, entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals who want to think more deeply about faith, work, calling, leadership, and the influence God has already placed in their hands.

Where has God already given you influence, and how are you using it?

What does it really look like to honour God in business without making faith feel forced?

In this episode of Monday Movement, Mark Bilton sits down with Jacob Leung, entrepreneur, community builder and foodie, for a practical conversation about faith, work, creativity, community and Christian entrepreneurship.

Jacob shares why he does not see business and ministry as two separate things. Instead, he believes Christians can reflect God through excellent work, strong ethics, genuine relationships and the way they serve people. They also explore why real community matters more than ever, how creativity shows up in every kind of work, and why faith still requires wisdom, discipline and action. 

For anyone wondering whether God is really interested in their work, Jacob’s answer is simple: yes. Your workplace, business and everyday responsibilities can all become part of how you live out your faith. 

This episode is especially relevant for Christian entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders and professionals who want to live with purpose, integrity and faith in the marketplace.

Diagnosed as legally blind at just five years old, Matt built a successful senior executive career at Optus while simultaneously becoming a multiple World Champion, Guinness World Record holder and elite big-wave para surfer. The leadership principles he now shares were not learned in a classroom. They were forged through years of navigating adversity, building trust, maintaining high standards and performing under pressure.

Together, Mark and Matt explore what high performance really looks like, why accountability begins with personal standards, how leaders can create psychologically safe teams without lowering expectations, and why trust remains one of the most powerful drivers of leadership success.

Growing revenue does not always mean building a stronger business.

Many founders reach a point where the business becomes more complex, cash feels tighter, and the decisions that once came naturally become increasingly difficult. The skills that helped build the business are not always the same skills needed to scale it.

In this episode, Mark Bilton is joined by Neil Livingstone, an experienced CFO, commercial advisor, and Co-Founder of Founder Freedom. CPA qualified through PwC, Neil has spent decades helping founders strengthen cash flow, improve working capital, build financial operating systems, and transition from founder to CEO.

Together, they explore why financial leadership is about far more than understanding the numbers. It is about creating clarity, building disciplined operating rhythms, making better decisions, embracing AI with purpose, and developing businesses that generate sustainable, long-term wealth.

If you are a founder, CEO, business owner, or executive leader looking to build a stronger, more resilient organisation, this conversation offers practical insights you can begin applying immediately.
