If you’re a Christian entrepreneur trying to grow your faith-based business without burning out, this episode is for you. Many founders scale to 6 figures, get “busy,” and then quietly drift—more stress, less peace, and way less time with God. In this conversation, Steven Pemberton shares how he and his wife built two 7-figure eCommerce businesses, what happened when Amazon shut them down, and how a pivot (and prayer) opened a better path.

We talk about the real reason most founders stall: ego—the need to control everything, be the bottleneck, and “do it all.” You’ll hear practical ways to build a Christ-centered mindset in business, protect your morning routine with God, and create systems that let you delegate, scale, and lead with vision. If you want Kingdom business growth—profit with purpose, clarity, and spiritual alignment—press play and take notes.
