The Kingdom Principle of Business

Episode Summary: 

Imagine running a business where joy, love, and kingdom principles guide every decision - not just boosting profits, but transforming people. 

But how can we integrate kingdom principles into business, tearing down the divide between sacred and secular to create workplaces where God's love and purpose are central?

In this episode, CEO Bryan Elliott shares his journey of transitioning his engineering company, Flō, into a kingdom-driven organization, fostering spiritual growth and success through faith, prayer, and a focus on sonship over orphan thinking. 

Join us as we explore how God’s kingdom can flourish in the marketplace, bringing heaven to earth in every aspect of business.

Key Takeaways:

1. No Sacred-Secular Divide – Whether in ministry or the marketplace, all work is kingdom work. Businesses can reflect God's values through every interaction.
2. Sonship vs. Orphan Thinking – Orphan mentality leads to scarcity, competition, and self-reliance, while sonship frees leaders to steward God’s business with love, abundance, and interdependence.
3. Prayer as Business Strategy – Integrating prayer into company culture invites God's guidance, bringing peace, clarity, and breakthrough.
4. Investment in People – Building a business on kingdom principles means investing in the growth, healing, and well-being of employees, which leads to long-term success.
5. Kingdom Business Flourishes – Even in hard times, a company built on kingdom foundations will see fruitfulness and multiplication in ways that extend beyond financial ROI.
