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.
Episodes
Half the church calls AI the mark of the beast. The other half runs their whole business on it. Cody and Esther think both camps are dodging the question that actually matters — and the answer cuts closer to home than either side expects.
This is the line between good stewardship and spiritual laziness: why refusing to use AI might be the real failure, the danger nobody names (it's built to agree with you), the one thing that ...
"I'll never do business with a Christian again."
If you've ever heard those words, or worse, been the reason someone said them, this episode is for you.
Cody unpacks a hard truth every Christian entrepreneur needs to sit with: the way we operate in the marketplace is either pushing people toward Jesus or away from Him. There's no neutral. When you put the fish on your business card and then cut corners, lowball, or burn a client, you...
In 1956, The Strangest Secret put a number on it: of 100 people who start at 25 with the same dreams, only five build the life they imagined. The success principle Napoleon Hill and a century of teachers chased? It was God's all along.
This is the framework Cody's lived by for years: why sincere Christians drift into the 95%, the one tool most believers walk past, and the four things that separate the five — awareness,...
Everyone’s chasing the business plan — the step-by-step someone else “made it” with. But what if what your business actually needs isn’t a better plan, but a God plan?
Adam and Cassie walked away from a guaranteed six-figure career with nothing but a word from God and a pile of credit-card debt — and watched Him provide at every turn. This is the honest conversation about what it really costs to b...
You can be building a real business, on fire for God, plugged into a solid church — and still feel completely alone. Every Christian entrepreneur knows the two rooms: the church that doesn't quite understand your ambition, and the business world that leaves Jesus at the door.
Cody and Esther Cottle tell the story behind the Christian Entrepreneur Club — the gap that started it, the word from God that led them to walk awa...

Every Christian entrepreneur says they want God to guide their business. Most are waiting for a feeling. Lisa and Ricky McCabe turned it into a set of decisions — and built a company the numbers said shouldn't exist. An engineer who never planned to teach dance. A diagnosis that stole her voice in the same season the business was breaking out. A check written in pure obedience, for the exact amount a crisis would later take. ...
Are you believing too small to not get your hopes up? Are you limiting what God can and will do through your life? Listen to find out.
We brought in the host of the Faith Hustle Podcast, Mukwenda Kandole, to share a powerful message, "GET YOUR HOPES UP". And it does not disappoint. Enjoy.

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.
Somewhere along the way, many believers absorbed the idea that struggling fina...
