Faith Driven Entrepreneur
by Rusty Rueff, Henry Kaestner, William Norvell, Andy Crouch, Randy Alcorn, Tom Hsieh
1M ago
The middle of February is often filled with commercialized images of love. Flowers, chocolates, those little chalky tasting heart candies with sweet messages.  It all revolves around Valentine’s Day.  And in between booking restaurant reservations or talking about how you reject the hallmark holiday, we might stop to ask ourselves, what do we really love? Most of us know the right answers here: family, friends, God. As entrepreneurs, we love our work and what it affords us. And, let’s face it, a lot of us love money. But can we dig a little deeper here? Money isn’t a bad thing. In fa ..read more

Is it even possible for entrepreneurs to develop a healthy prayer life? And… is it even worth it? Today on the show ..read more

by Henry Kaestner, Justin Forman

As Christians, we can easily get wrapped up in this belief that the church is on the losing side of history.  We feel the shifting winds of culture blow away from us.  We hear story after story of major church leaders either leaving the faith or succumbing to some sort of moral failure.  It makes sense to ask ourselves: where are our wins? Where does the Church have victory in times like this? In this episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast, Henry Kaestner and Justin Forman bring some clarity to those questions in a segment we call “the riff” where we bring listeners in ..read more
