Our team has been working through a few potential themes for the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Conference in September, and we’d value your perspective:
Which resonates most? Why?
A. Builder Not Bystander
B. For the King, Not the Crowd
C. Build for More
D. Two Kingdoms. One Choice.
"Satan always attacks at the point of unity. I guess it's because it's powerful." - Mart Green
Every Faith Driven Entrepreneur I know who's tried to build something collaborative, across organizations, across egos, across interests has hit that wall.
The friction is real.
Unlimited 30 Second Timeouts.
I realized as I was ending my day as a Faith Driven Entrepreneur with most of my timeouts in my pocket.
Now I use them all. Anytime. Anywhere.
60 or 30 seconds ... Asking God for wisdom, guidance, correction, and provision.
"There is no shortage of money willing to follow. What's missing is capital willing to go first."
That's what we're building with Solving the World's Greatest Problems. A vehicle, and community, for people who want generosity to carry the same intentionality as their portfolio.
Big requires new thinking. What got us here won’t often get us to the next big leap.
3 billion live with little access to the Gospel.
That’s a big number.
You can be for profit and for purpose and for people - Tim Tebow
Profit fuels scale. Purpose directs it.
The real question isn’t which one you choose.
It’s whether you can hold both responsibly.
It’s aligning both.
Media is the addiction of the day. If we’re going to reach the next generation, we need to go where they are.
In business, it’s straightforward. You want your idea to take, go where the people you’re trying to reach are.
Money has a way of surfacing what already has our hearts.
It amplifies our priorities. It exposes our trust. It shapes how we see security, success, and significance.
When we start there, the conversation changes.
Some ideas are good. They check the boxes. They make sense. They feel safe for us as Faith Driven Entrepreneurs. But the question we keep asking is different. Is it a God idea?
Because good ideas can build impressive things. God ideas build the things that actually matter.
While the growth of James' platform is impressive. What encouraged me most wasn’t the platform - it was the posture. Watching how God is continuing to shape him since our conversation last year. He’s refining the “why” underneath all the success…
We were created to build. To create. To steward. Redemption doesn’t erase that, it might actually restore it.
Maybe the goal isn’t to escape work, it’s to redeem it. And maybe Faith Driven Entrepreneurship isn’t just a calling for this life, it’s preparation for what's to come.
What once defined you can’t be the whole story forever. It was great catching up with Colt McCoy and hearing about his journey, from starting quarterback at UT Austin, to a 14-year career in the National Football League (NFL), to this next chapter as a Faith Driven Entrepreneur.
Scripture asks a different question of us.
“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”
The invitation of faith is not just to succeed. It’s to stay faithful.
To build a life where the pursuit of success never outruns the pursuit of God.
If our posture is ownership, growth feeds ego.
If our posture is stewardship, growth multiplies impact.
Which is why the early lessons matter so much.
Before the scale, platform or resources for Faith Driven Entrepreneurs ...
Growth doesn’t fix stewardship. It reveals it.
Here’s the tension: Most of us are living with far more freedom… and far less intentionality. We call it generosity when we give something away.
But real stewardship says ... It was never ours to begin with.
Across locker rooms, campuses, and professional leagues, athletes are becoming more open about what shapes them off the field as much as on it.
And many are saying the same thing: the most important thing in their life isn’t the game.
It’s their faith.
We’re not built to be satisfied with stuff.
Not houses. Not titles.
Not bank accounts. Not followers.
Stuff can be enjoyed. It can even be a gift.
But it was never meant to satisfy us.
That longing we feel isn’t a design flaw.
It’s a clue.
We were built for something bigger.
