Entrepreneur: what is your relationship like with your church?

(We really want to know!)

Church leaders and entrepreneurs have the potential to be radical partners who influence and impact communities for the glory of God together.

But often, we find a strange divide between these two groups that interferes with the good work they could be doing together.

That’s why in this week’s podcast episode Justin Forman and Barna Group’s David Kinnaman will be talking about ways the church can become better partners. They’ll also talk about an exciting research project underway between these two organizations.

This is part of a new segment we call the “riff” where we invite listeners into the ideas and conversations we’re having, so please leave your thoughts in the comments or send them to [email protected].

Episode 294 - Creating Culture Worth Celebrating: Stories of the Movement with Booster's Chris Carneal

Culture can be a bit of a buzzword.

What does it really mean for a company to have values and an identity?

And how can leaders of those companies make sure those values don’t just become another page on the website or words on a wall in the office?

In this episode of Stories of the Movement, we’ll hear about Booster, one of the largest school fundraising companies in the country.

They’ve built a culture unlike any other in their team of nearly 1,000 employees. And Chris Carneal, the founder and CEO of the company, saw firsthand how essential Booster’s “virtues” became when they faced an unexpected and intense setback.

Check out their story in this episode of Faith Driven Entrepreneur: Stories of the Movement.

Episode 291 - How a Venture Capitalist, Serial Entrepreneur, and Basketball Team Owner Finds His Identity in Christ with Phil Chen

What do you get when you mix a trained physicist, a seminary grad, an entrepreneur, and a Silicon valley venture capitalist?

In the case of this episode, you get an awesome guest who somehow checks all those boxes.

Phil Chen is the CEO of cold electric and the owner of the new Taipei Kings, a basketball team, in the recently founded Taiwanese pro league. It also happens to be where past podcast, guests and faith driven entrepreneur, Jeremy Lin plays.

Phil's career is wide reaching and impressive. But what's even more valuable is the way he has allowed his theology to shape how he leads and all these various places.

While we're going to premiere a feature video that tells Phil's story at this year's faith-driven entrepreneur conference.

Today, he joins us to tell us a bit about his journey and share how rooting ourselves in scripture can help affirm our identities in Christ and empower us to pursue all that he calls us to.
