🔥 “God is writing the story of your life… but you get to choose the version that gets published.” 🔥
What if your business isn’t yours to own—but rather yours to steward? What if the weight of success, strategy, and scaling wasn’t all on your shoulders?
In this powerful episode of The Gifted Entrepreneur Show, I sit down with John Houston, a Kingdom-driven entrepreneur who stewards 7 thriving businesses—all while keeping Christ at the center.
John’s journey is nothing short of miraculous. From being left to fend for himself as a teenager to building a six-figure company in high school, his story is a testament to God’s hand in business. In this episode, we unpack:
✅ The stewardship mindset vs. an ownership mindset (this shift changes everything!) ✅ How to hear God’s voice for business decisions (even in a high-pressure boardroom) ✅ The right way to disciple as a business leader (hint: it’s not just about evangelism) ✅ How to navigate the fear of “GO” when God calls you into something bigger ✅ The Kingdom morning blueprint that sets your day—and business—up for success
If you’ve ever felt the weight of running your business alone, this episode will refresh your soul and shift your perspective. Are you ready to build for God’s Kingdom and not just your own?
🎧 Listen now and be inspired to walk out Romans 12:2 in your business!
