94. How to Build a Business at God's Pace: Escaping Burnout and the Hustle with Nannette Foster

98. How to Build Leaders Worth Following: Mentorship, Character, and Owning Your Mistakes with Earl Morrison

You've poured yourself into your business, your team, your leadership — but have you ever stopped to ask whether you're doing it alone? And more importantly, are you letting someone truly speak into your life, not just coach you through a moment? Earl Morrison spent over 32 years in law enforcement and seven years as a police chief in Oklahoma. After losing what he and his wife thought was their dream job to political winds, Earl did something most of us resist: he stopped, reflected, and let God use the adversity to shape him into a mentor for others. That journey led him to write his book Leadership Lessons Learned and build his company, Leading and Learning with Character. Join David and Earl as they unpack what mentorship actually is — and why it's different from coaching or discipleship — and why our pride is the #1 thing standing between us and the growth we desperately need. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Mentoring others is one of the most tangible ways to reflect God's investment in us. When we pour into someone else's growth — not just their skills, but their character — we're living out the kind of discipleship Paul describes in 2 Timothy 2:2. It's not a program. It's a relationship. One challenge from today: Find one person you trust enough to speak truth into your life — and give them permission to do it. Don't wait until you have it all figured out. That's the pride talking.

97. Why You're Hitting a Leadership Ceiling: The Five Capitals Framework with Dan Anderson

Are you running your business on fumes — pushing harder, resting less, and wondering why you keep hitting the same ceiling? What if the real issue isn't your strategy, your team, or your market, but the order in which you're investing your most important resources? Dan Anderson spent 20 years as a pastor before realizing he was committing what he calls "pastoral malpractice" — failing to equip the people in his congregation for where they spend 60% of their waking hours: the workplace. That conviction led him out of the pulpit and into full-time work helping Christian entrepreneurs bridge the Sunday-to-Monday gap. Today he serves as President of Kingdom Way Ministries and National Ministry Director for FCCI. Join us as Dan walks through the Five Capitals framework — spiritual, relational, physical, intellectual, and financial — and why getting the order right changes everything about how you lead and how you grow. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Dan's first core value is "unquestioned obedience" — trusting God even when it doesn't make sense. That means putting spiritual capital first, not as a nice add-on to your leadership, but as the foundation everything else is built on. When you lead out of the overflow of time spent with God, the people around you feel the difference. One challenge from today: This week, identify which of the five capitals is most depleted in your life and commit to one specific habit — Sabbath rest, a fun activity, a prayer practice — that begins to refill it.

96. Purpose-Driven Business: How to Define Mission, Vision & Core Values with Michelle Sloan

Do you know *why* your business exists — not just what it does, but the deeper purpose behind it? And if you do know it, are you actually living it out, or is it just a framed statement on the wall that nobody talks about? Michelle Sloan is a principal coach and school consultant who helps leaders clarify their mission, vision, and core values — and then actually live by them. She's built schools from the ground up, turned around declining ones in the middle of a pandemic, and watched organizations double in size when they got serious about who they are and who they're called to serve. Join David and Michelle as they dig into what purpose really means for Christian business owners, why most mission statements never make it off the wall, and how to build a culture where every decision filters through your calling. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Don't copy someone else's path. God didn't call you to be somebody else. He called you to be you. Honor Him by staying true to the unique gifts, abilities, and purpose He's placed in you, and build your business around that rather than chasing what's working for everyone else. One challenge from today: Before your next team meeting, put one question at the bottom of the agenda — "Does this decision align with who we are and who we're called to serve?" — and make someone responsible for asking it every single time.

95. Stop Floating: How to Discover and Walk Out Your God-Given Purpose with Alesha Limbo

Do you ever feel like you're busy with all the right things — but somehow still off course? Like you're moving fast, but not necessarily toward anything that truly matters? You might be floating. Alesha Limbo knows that feeling well. A life coach, speaker, and podcast host, Alesha once described herself as a "recovering floater" — someone who stayed busy but hadn't yet locked into the specific purpose God had wired her for. Her journey from distraction to intentional, purpose-driven living has shaped everything from her coaching practice to her marriage to a bold land development leap in South Dakota. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Run every decision through this question: Does this align with the purpose and gifts God has specifically given me? Alesha challenges us to stop doing things we're merely okay at and start leaning into what God uniquely built us for — because that's where He shows up and multiplies the work. One challenge from today: Identify one thing you're currently doing out of busyness or fear rather than purpose — and take one step this week to either realign it or release it.

94. How to Build a Business at God's Pace: Escaping Burnout and the Hustle with Nannette Foster

Are you running your business at a pace that's slowly burning you out? You're doing all the right things — following the advice, building the momentum — but something feels off. You're pushing the boulder uphill now, not watching it roll. Nannette Foster is a leadership coach based in Kodiak, Alaska, who knows that feeling firsthand. From burning out as a jewelry artist, to a pandemic-era breaking point as a solo parent of two young kids on an island, Nannette's journey took her from hustle and grind to something she calls "slow to flow" — learning to match her pace with God's pace and build a business that actually holds together. Join us as Nannette shares her raw, honest story and the practical wisdom she's discovered about slowing down and working with how God uniquely designed you. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Slow down and build your calendar in reverse — rest and family first, then work in the remaining space. When we stop conforming to the world's hustle and start operating according to how God uniquely designed us, we become more sustainable, more present, and more useful to the people we're called to serve. One challenge from today: Audit your calendar this week. Are you giving God and family your best hours, or just the scraps?
