The Mike Thakur Podcast

Jordan Raynor is a serial entrepreneur and author who has the honor of working to help Christians connect the gospel to their work. His first book, Called to Create: A Biblical Invitation to Create, Innovate, and Risk, became an instant national bestseller and since then, he's been rockin' it for believers with an entrepreneurial focus. 

We chat about his new book, 'Redeeming Your Time' and why being productive isn't just a nice idea, but is a call from above for every believer alive.

Pulling into your future when pushing isn't working with Stephen De Silva, former CFO of Bethel Church, Redding and author of 'Money and the Prosperous Soul'.

Stephen teaches and trains the church on moving past the “tools” of how to manage money, while moving into the capacity to carry wealth. With a unique approach and witty personality, Stephen has sought to develop a spirit-filled, biblically based ministry that brings true financial healing. From this place of health and purpose, people can begin to live the prosperous life Jesus promised them when he said he came to give us life and life abundantly.

Meet Steve, an all round amazing guy who owns and operates the amazing Copa Vida Coffee chain (7 cafes and 1 roasting wholesale business) that started 7 years ago in Pasadena. They're a specialty coffee, tea and food company that focuses on providing craft products with great service for the purposes of hosting an environment that promotes community.

In today's episode we chat about God and entrepreneurship, how Steve has built a company on a foundation of scalability and sustainability so that it can be replicated in the mission field to help support those who give their lives to reach others, and a little more.
