There’s a shift happening in the Spirit.

You can feel it. You’ve sensed it.
You love Jesus—but you don’t fit the mold.
You’re not called to preach sermons…
You’re called to build systems.
You’re wired for creativity, strategy, income, and impact.

Welcome to the Age of the Builder.

In this prophetic and practical episode, Mark Casto unpacks why God is raising up entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, and reformers—not just pastors.

This is more than a career change.
It’s a Kingdom commissioning.

🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why the “pastor-only” model of calling is outdated—and unbiblical

• What the life of Jesus reveals about your calling as a builder

• Powerful biblical examples of marketplace leaders and creators

• 7 signs you might be called to build in this new era

• How to stop waiting for permission and start walking in your assignment

• Why the next move of God is flowing through creators, coaches, and online entrepreneurs

📖 Mentioned:

• Exodus 31 – Bezalel anointed to build

• Ephesians 4 – Fivefold ministry and equipping the saints

• The Age of Digital Discipleship

• The shift from church services to Kingdom solutions

Welcome to the very first episode of The Mark Casto Program — a bold conversation at the intersection of faith, entrepreneurship, culture, and Kingdom reformation.

In this powerful launch episode, Mark unpacks a word for the moment:

👉 There’s an entrepreneurial awakening happening in the Church. For too long, believers have been told to stay in their lane—submit, serve, and support someone else’s vision—while their own calling is buried under a job description that drains them.

But what if the Kingdom needs builders, not just pastors? What if God is calling you out of the 9-5 grind and into digital ownership, creative leadership, and prophetic innovation?

💥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why the 9-5 system was never Kingdom—and how it actually formed in the industrial revolution How the Church has discipled obedience but ignored ownership Biblical proof that entrepreneurship is not worldly—it’s sacred

The difference between waiting for permission and walking in your commission Why YOU may be feeling restless in your job or church (and what that means)

How the entrepreneurial shift is not just economic—it’s spiritual and prophetic Why the next move of God is coming through creators, not just clergy 📖

Mentioned in the Episode:

Gallup’s study on global disengagement in the workforce

Barna research on faith and work in the church

Pew studies on Millennials and entrepreneurship

Biblical builders: Noah, Joseph, Bezalel, Paul, Lydia, and Jesus Himself 🔥

Call to Action: If this episode stirred something in you… Don’t go back to sleep.

👉 Share it with someone who knows they were made for more.

👉 Then head to www.courses.markcasto.co/community to start building your business, your brand, and your life—with clarity, confidence, and Kingdom fire.

This is the entrepreneurial awakening. And it starts with you.

Welcome to The Mark Casto Program—a brand new season of life, faith, and entrepreneurship. In this first episode, I’m not talking business. I’m going straight to the foundation of my life: the gospel.

What if we inherited an incomplete version of Christianity? What if Jesus didn’t just die to forgive sins but to defeat sin, death, and Satan himself?

In this episode, I unpack:

• Why the gospel is more than a legal exchange.
• What the early church actually believed about the cross.
• Why you can stop living like a victim and start living in victory.
• How this gospel truth transformed my life, ministry, and business journey.

If you’re ready to rethink the gospel and rediscover the victorious Jesus of Scripture—this episode is for you. 👉 Follow me on Instagram @markcasto_
