You were never meant to separate your faith from your work.
In this episode of Cultureneer, Terry sits down with Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12 — the world’s largest peer learning organization for Christian CEOs and executives — to dismantle one of the most damaging beliefs in modern Christianity:
The sacred-secular divide.
Mike shares his powerful story — from growing up in Alaska, navigating family hardship, and caring for his mother after a brain injury… to leading thousands of Christian business owners around the globe.
But this episode is bigger than his story.
It’s about yours.
Inside this conversation, we unpack:
Why 85% of Christian leaders live in “suspended animation”
The dangerous myth that faith belongs at church, not at work
How businesses are the true mega-churches of unchurched people
Why excellence in business is an act of worship
What happens when leaders don’t steward their influence
How to integrate faith without being “odd for God”
Why identity — not willingness — is the real issue
The three measures of business success (economic, team, and spiritual value-add)
How to have authentic gospel influence at work
What churches must do to activate marketplace leaders
If you lead a company…If you manage a team…If you employ even one person…
You are shaping culture every Monday morning.
The question is not whether you have influence.
The question is whether you’re stewarding it.
You are not “just” a contractor.You are not “just” an accountant.You are not “just” an engineer.
You are deployed.
You are called.
You are the culture.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
