The Christian Entrepreneur

The Christian Entrepreneur

Hosted by serial entrepreneurs Cody and Esther Cottle, the Christian Entrepreneur Podcast exists for believers who hunger for a move of God in the marketplace. After building 10 companies and walking through both success and painful failures, God called them to shut down their multi-six-figure business in 2024 — and out of that obedience, the Christian Entrepreneur Club was born and has grown into a global community of 600+ members. This podcast is an extension of our mission to equip entrepreneurs with a biblical framework to do business God's way. Each episode delivers proven business strategies, biblical principles, and conversations with top Christian thought leaders to equip you to do business God's way. Subscribe now and join a global family of Christian entrepreneurs committed to bringing revival to the marketplace.

The world has never been more offended. Outrage spreads faster than truth, grievance builds a following, and writing people off has become second nature. It's tempting to see all that as a problem out there in the culture — but the same spirit slips quietly into your business, your relationships, and your own heart, limiting your growth long before you notice it's there.

In this episode, Cody and Esther unpack the spirit of of...

If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, or whether the gifts you've been using in the wrong arena can still be used by God, this episode is for you. 

This is the raw, never-before-shared story of how God redeemed a drug dealer's gifts — the supply-chain instincts, the team-building, the relentless drive — and put them to work doing business God's way. The 3:33am dream. The Mercedes he had to sell...

What if walking away from $1 billion a year was the smartest business 
decision you ever made?

Hobby Lobby has 900+ stores and roughly $7 billion in annual revenue — 
and they've never once opened on a Sunday. David Greene was fined 
$1 million a month for refusing to fund birth control. He refused to 
take the company public so no shareholder could ever force him to 
compromise....

Most Christians don’t reject success because they lack ambition.
They reject it because they’re afraid success might pull them away from God.

What if everything you've built is on the wrong scoreboard?

Most Christian entrepreneurs are incredibly good at putting Bible verses on their Instagram and then running their businesses by the world's playbook. We quote Jeremiah 29:11, claim God is our CEO, and then make decisions driven by fear, comparison, and the hunger for the next level. Today, we're stopping that cycle.

In this episode, we're challenging everything the entrepre...

Are you building FOR God or WITH God? In this powerful message, Cody Cottle reveals the critical difference between religious hustle and Kingdom business—and why it changes everything.

Most Christian entrepreneurs ask God to bless their business plan, but never ask God if that's the business He wanted them to build in the first place. They pray before the meeting but don't invite God into the meeting. They want God to fund the...
