Redeeming Business Today

Can you recognize the warning signs when someone you love is being spiritually manipulated?Today's conversation with Peter Young, real estate professional and author, is a sobering reminder that spiritual deception can happen to anyone—even lifelong Christians.Peter grew up in a strong Christian home, accepted Christ, was baptized, and read his Bible cover to cover multiple times. Then he married a woman who brought a "family guru" named Uncle Robert into their marriage—a man who would control their lives for the next 20 years.Uncle Robert taught that casinos were the true churches. He convinced Peter's wife she wasn't saved until he pointed it out. He told Peter's father-in-law he was on par with a cockroach. Slowly, like a frog in boiling water, Peter found himself brainwashed for two years.The turning point came when his wife left and Uncle Robert told their five children that Peter was just a "sperm donor and bloodline"—not a real father. That's when the lies started to crack. It took a full year for Peter to realize it wasn't his fault and he wasn't crazy.Peter learned three critical lessons: First, a strong Christian marriage needs Christ at the center—not a parent, priest, or guru. Second, isolation from the body of Christ makes you vulnerable to false teachers. Third, salvation comes before sanctification—anyone switching that order is acting as a gatekeeper to God.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Be honest—period. You're either honest or you're not. Truth doesn't mind being questioned.Stay connected to the body of Christ. Isolation makes you vulnerable. Fellowship and accountability protect you from deception.One challenge from today:If someone you love is headed down a dangerous road—whether a cult or spiritual deception—don't shy away from the hard conversation. Be loving, be kind, but be bold. They don't know they're in trouble. You see it, but they don't.More About Peter YoungWebsite: https://www.authorpeteryoung.com/Book: Stop the Tall Man, Save the LionMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

Is Jesus really the CEO of your business—or just in name only?Today's conversation with Karl Diffenderfer, coach for coaches and author, challenges us to move beyond the label and into the reality of surrendering our business to God.Karl started a marketing company at 24 and sold it at 32. During those years, clients came in to talk about logos but ended up sharing the deepest parts of their hearts. He realized God had given him a gift for discernment, so he became a coach. He's now done over 10,000 coaching sessions.His biggest lesson? He was burning out doing everything God told him to do—until God showed him a picture. Karl was pushing ahead, trying to drag God along in the yoke instead of going at God's pace. God gave him four statements that changed everything: Slow down. Go at my pace. Do what I say. Trust me.Karl learned that success isn't about revenue or impact—it starts in his relationship with the Lord. Spending time in God's Word each day became his true success criteria. Everything else flows from that.The challenge: We can't educate people beyond their level of obedience. If you're not sowing time into client acquisition, you won't reap clients. God's principles apply to everything.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Slow down enough to hear God's voice. Five practices create space: time in the Word, worship, prayer, journaling, and the body of believers. Your job isn't productivity—it's diligence. Results belong to God.Walk in humility, not pride. Surrender isn't something you can work on—you have to lay it at His feet and let Him be in charge.One challenge from today:Are you spending time in God's Word every day? Don't read it to become a better Christian—read it to know Him better. The Word is the only book where the Author shows up and changes you just by being there.More About Karl DiffenderferWebsite: www.HigherImpact.meTurnkeycoachingsystem.comMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

Are you overlooking the leader right in front of you?Joshua Williams has spent 16 years in youth ministry watching problematic teenagers become faithful leaders a decade later. His approach? Don't look for the most talented—look for availability and willingness.One student crossed so many lines that Joshua had to pull him from youth group for three months. But he didn't stop investing. He kept meeting with him, kept pouring into him. Today, that "problematic" student is thriving in his walk with God and raising up leaders himself.The lesson applies to your business: Sometimes the person who annoys you most is exactly opposite your personality—which means they bring something valuable you're missing. Don't surround yourself with carbon copies. Look for puzzle pieces with different strengths.Joshua learned the hard way that you can't carry weight God didn't give you. Do what God called you to do, then trust Him with the rest. If you've been faithful and it doesn't succeed by the world's standards, you've still succeeded in God's eyes.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?God has entrusted people to you. Your job isn't to dominate but to love them first and raise them up as an example of Christ.Don't expect perfection before investing. Coach emerging leaders through their struggles rather than only promoting the "safe" choices.One challenge from today:Is there someone you've written off because they're difficult? Maybe God put them there for you to pour into. Plant that seed. You might be surprised what grows.More about Josh Williams https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheNumbersPodcastMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.

Can your brain actually be rewired from negative to positive?Today's conversation with Deanna Beckett, author and speaker, tackles the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape everything we do in business.Deanna spent years dragging bitterness and guilt into her work and relationships. Through Bible study and daily thought-resetting, she learned something critical: What goes in comes out. Garbage in, garbage out.She talks about neuroplasticity: How our brains can be rewired from dead, gnarly branches into something healthy and growing. But you can't just remove a bad habit and leave a hole. You have to replace it with something good.The workplace reality? More than half of conversations at work are probably negative. That doesn't just waste time—it attracts more negativity and keeps you stuck.Deanna's daily practice: She rewrites Bible verses in first person and speaks them out loud. "He gives me the ability to produce wealth." Instead of scrolling social media and feeling anxiety creep up, she shuts it off and tackles what she's been avoiding.One shift that changes everything: Replace "I have to" with "I get to." Add "yet" to complaints. "I'm not where I want to be... yet."Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Control what you can control—your attitude and your response. You can't control other people's reactions or circumstances, but you can choose grace when someone's having a rough day.Chase peace intentionally. Redirect negative conversations at work or remove yourself from them entirely.One challenge from today:Shift two words tomorrow morning. Instead of "I have to go to work," say "I get to go to work." Pay attention to how that small change affects your whole day. Everybody's fighting a battle you know nothing about—be gracious.More About Deanna Becketwww.deannabecket.comwww.shockingyourshtick.comMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.

Have you ever felt like an imposter in your own business?I refinanced my house and bought into a coaching franchise in 2021, convinced the systems would carry me to success. Within a month, I knew I'd made a mistake.I wasn't the expert in business they thought I was. I had an inferiority mindset. And I was trying to operate the franchise's version of who I was supposed to be instead of being authentic to how God made me.For six months, I watched myself crash. As an analytical engineer, I knew I was failing but didn't know how to stop it. The depression was crushing—until June 30th, 2022. That's the day I quit, and it became the best day of my life.God's grace kept me going with clients I didn't deserve while I worked a W-2 job. He gave me a coach whose personality actually complemented mine. And He convicted me with a question I'd been asking my own kids: Your success is directly correlated with your relationship with God—so why doesn't your coaching content reflect that?That question changed everything. I stopped trying to help businesses chase bigger profits and started focusing on what I'm passionate about—helping Christian business owners operate God's way through Leadership GPS: God first, Purpose, then Service.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Be authentic to who God created you to be.

The Four Referability Habits: Build Trust That Grows Your BusinessSadly, Christians aren't always known as the best employees or business partners. If we're followers of Jesus, we're called to show our light through good work—and it's simpler than you think.James MacNeil has built three seven-figure businesses on one principle: "no surprise, but good surprise"—always delivering more than promised. He shares four referability habits from Dan Sullivan that transform how people perceive your business.The tragic truth? James says he'd be $10 million ahead if he hadn't done business with Christians who failed to keep their word.The Four Habits: Show up on timeDo what you say you're going to doFinish what you startSay please and thank you. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?The first promise you make is 100% evidence that you're either completely trustworthy or completely untrustworthy. Make and keep commitments—it's the fastest path to building trust and flourishing relationships.Remember: the business of business is to profitably solve problems. We profit when we deserve it, and deserve means "from service." If you're not earning enough, you're likely not serving enough.One Challenge from Today:Make as few promises as possible and keep them all. Before you say yes, count the cost.

Should Christians pursue wealth?The Bible seems to send mixed messages about money. It says, "Better is little with the fear of the Lord" but also "By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honor, and life." So what should our mindset be as Christian business owners?Today I'm talking with Gino Barbaro, a certified money coach and real estate investor who homeschools his six kids. He's learned hard lessons about money, scarcity, and what God wants for us.Gino shared a powerful quote: "Money does not corrupt an individual—it reveals the individual." If you want to create impact and serve families, you'll need to make money. Money is just a tool.Legacy isn't just financial—it's three things: human capital (faith), intellectual capital (wisdom), and financial capital (resources). Without the first two, wealth disappears.Gino was paralyzed by fear during the 2008 recession, stuck in victim mentality. His turning point came when he stopped being a victim and got clarity on where he wanted to go.Four Steps to Change Your Money Mindset:Stop being a victimGet clarity on what you wantGo easy on yourselfExamine your money biography—what you heard about money as a kid is still playing on repeatWe don't own anything. God owns everything. We're stewards. Profit is the fuel, not the destination.How can we honor God in our business?By keeping Jesus at the center. By being stewards, not owners. By using money as fuel for legacy—not the destination.One challenge from today:Examine your money mindset. Are you operating from fear and scarcity, or trust and abundance?More About Gino Barbaro Website www.barbaro360.comYoutube https://www.youtube.com/@barbaro-360Book: Happy Money Happy Family Happy Legacy https://a.co/d/9k5dTTPMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

How do you know if a coach is right for you?Not every coach will be a good fit—even if they're getting great results for other people. Today's guest, Kevin Weiss from The Contrarian Way, learned this the hard way when he hired a coach with a five-figure price tag, made all his money back in the first month, and then fired him anyway.Kevin is a coach for Christian coaches who built his business on one simple rule from Matthew 7:12 "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." When you apply this to business—how you market, sell, and serve—it changes everything.Kevin shared his story of running a kettlebell studio with his wife. They hired a coach who got them results immediately, but the tactics felt manipulative and they got delegated to someone else. Three things were misaligned: the person, the process, and the product.The Three AlignmentsPerson: Do your values align? Look at their content—are they real people or just a polished highlight reel?Process: Does the way they coach feel right? When misaligned, your values start changing, you burn out, or you walk away.Product: Will you work with the coach you're hiring or get delegated to a different coach? Is the meeting structure sustainable?You can survive one misalignment. But when all three are off, someone's going to hate showing up to the coaching sessions.Watch for high-pressure sales tactics demanding immediate decisions. A great coach gives you space to pray and discern fit. Tunnel vision for results makes you ignore warning signs. The end does not justify the means—getting results while compromising your values isn't worth it.How can we honor God in our business?By aligning ourselves with God first. Seek first His kingdom. When you align with what matters most, everything else—including how you choose a coach—falls into place.One challenge from today:Do a self-check on the person, process, and product before hiring a coach. Are they aligned with who you are and who you want to be?More About Kevin WeisWebsite: The Contrarian WayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekevinweisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thekevinweisMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

What makes a leader worth following?Today I'm talking with three leaders from three different cultures, united by one mission—to help leaders rise with values, integrity, and principles. Dr. Makki, Coach Attala, and Dr. Leroy McKenzie Jr. are the co-founders of the Character Driven Leadership Cafe, a movement confronting the real cracks in modern leadership.Leadership is lacking in today's world. We see it everywhereLeaders who talk about values but don't live themOrganizations that prioritize performance while burning out their peopleCultures built on control instead of connection.The CDL Cafe was born from Dr. Makki's observation sitting with his morning coffee: leadership failures aren't just about strategy or skill—they're about character. The cafe offers Table Talk Wednesdays, resources, and a community where leaders learn to lead from the inside out.VIP Leadership stands for Values, Integrity, and Principles—the three pillars of character-driven leadership. This isn't about adding skills on top of a hollow foundation. It's about becoming the kind of person others want to follow because you genuinely serve them.The business case for character is clear: connected employees perform better. People who feel seen and valued share their best ideas. Stressed, burned-out employees don't. And that energy transfers to your clients and customers.How can we honor God in our business?By leading with character—privately and publicly. By choosing discipline over convenience. By loving the people we lead, not just using them for productivity. God cares about who we're becoming, not just what we're accomplishing.One challenge from today:Write down your Personal Value System—the 3-5 principles that define who you want to be as a leader. Then ask yourself honestly: Am I living these out, or are they just decoration?More About VIP Leadership GroupLinkedInYouTube: @cdlcafeMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.

Poor communication isn't just annoying—it's expensive. It costs business owners 18% of total salaries paid out every year.If you're paying a million dollars in salaries, poor communication could be costing you $180,000 annually—7.47 hours of lost time each week per employee, all because messages aren't getting through.Today I'm talking with Josh Parnell, a leadership coach and host of the Limitless Leader podcast.Josh left a corporate job he loved when God kept tugging on his heart to start his own thing. He fought it for months until God finally said, "Josh, trust me and I'll show you."The greatest misconception about communication? That it's actually happening. That communication is actually happening.When you're talking with someone, there are often four conversations happening at once.Join us as Josh breaks down his five steps to effective communication that will transform how you lead.In This Episode:Five Steps to Effective CommunicationAssume positive intentSeek first to understand, then be understoodFall in love with asking questionsListen to understand, not to replyStay positiveOne challenge from today:Stop assuming all your thoughts are true. Humans have 60,000 thoughts per day—80% are negative and 90% are repetitive. When something seems off, assume positive intent and go directly to the source instead of creating a false narrative.Remember, meaningful growth often begins just outside your comfort zone.More About Josh ParnellWebsite: www.limitlessleadership.coYouTube: @thebeardedleaderLinkedIn: @thebeardedleaderMore About David SchmidtFree E-Book: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.

What if work isn't just something to escape from, but something you were created for?God created us to be zealous for good works—not for relaxation or pleasure, but for work itself. That's a different perspective.Today I'm talking with Christian Staller from Tennessee Business Coaching about an ancient Hebrew word that will transform how you see your daily work: Avodah.Twenty years ago at a faith and work conference, God told Christian: "This is what I want you to do—but not yet." Two decades passed as Christian became a CEO, started companies, failed, succeeded, and learned everything the hard way.When he finally moved to Tennessee, Christian discovered something stunning: Avodah doesn't just mean work. It means work, worship, and service—all wrapped into one.Your daily work isn't separate from your spiritual life. It IS your spiritual life.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Understand that work, worship, and service are inseparable. Recognize God as the true provider, not yourself. Don't fall into the Deuteronomy 8 trap of thinking your wealth and success where all your own doing. God gives you the power to create wealth.One challenge from today:Start every day with gratitude before checking your phone or diving into problems. Learn to truly listen—not just for information, but for what's being said and what's NOT being said. Let the Holy Spirit speak in your conversations.Process every business decision through work, worship, and service.

What does it really mean to "seek first God's kingdom" when you're running a business?It's Matthew 6:33—a verse we've all heard. But what does it actually look like when you're building and scaling your company?David takes us back to Daniel 2 and that dream about a statue. A stone—carved without hands—smashes it and becomes a mountain filling the entire earth.That stone? It’s God's kingdom. Unlike Babylon, Persia, Greece, or Rome, this kingdom never ends because it's made up of people from every nation following King Jesus.When Jesus shows up, He says, "The kingdom of God is at hand."The Kingdom of God is individuals following Jesus—King Jesus. A multitude of people aligned with Jesus, seeking, loving, knowing, fearing, and obeying Him. From creation to Israel to the eternal state, God's plan has always been the same: a world of people who love, know, and fear God.So what does it mean to seek God's kingdom in your business?It means asking: Is this action or plan in alignment with God's way? Your product, marketing, sales, operations, customer service, treatment of clients, vendors, employees—all of it. And whenever there's a difference between your way and God's way? You choose God's way. Every time.David gives you five specific ways to seek God's kingdom while building your business. Lead by growing yourself. Advance in faith. Work with diligence. Work with humility. And work with excellence.You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. Seek first God's kingdom by choosing His way—not the world's way, not your way. Pick God's way, every time.Remember: What's good for your faith is good for your business. Dig deeper into those five specific ways you can seek God’s kingdom while building your business by following this link.In This Episode, You'll Discover:What Daniel's dream reveals about God's kingdom todayWhy the kingdom of God is individuals following King JesusThe one question that transforms every business decisionFive specific ways to seek God's kingdom in your businessWhy your business reflects the God you serveRedeem your business today by the following:How can we honor God in our business?Stop treating business decisions like they're separate from spiritual ones. Every choice—how you price, who you hire, what you promise, how you deliver—is a chance to choose God's way over the world's way.Before your next big decision, ask yourself: "Is this aligned with God's kingdom, or am I defaulting to what's comfortable, what's conventional, what everyone else does?" God cares about your sales process, your team culture, and your marketing copy. Do it God’s way.One challenge from today:This week, pick one area of your business where you know there's a gap between how you're operating and how God would have you operate.Maybe it's how you talk about competitors, how you treat a difficult employee, or a shortcut you've been taking that doesn't reflect excellence. Name it. Then take one concrete step to close that gap—not because it's easy or profitable, but because you're seeking first God's kingdom.More About David SchmidtSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Website: redeemingbusinesstoday.comDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

Lighthouses. Solitary beacons guiding sailors through stormy seas to safe harbors.They stand as reminders that while we can't eliminate storms, we can prepare for them. The same is true in business. Chaos will come. You can't structure it all away. But you can build a foundation that stands firm when the winds hit.Today's guest, Bethany Rees, knows what it means to weather storms.She spent 18 years in education, rising from small-town classroom teacher to high school administrator overseeing 4,000 students—more than her entire college. She learned to serve every walk of life, navigate constant change, and lead through the unthinkable (hello, COVID).Now as author, coach, and host of Leadership on the Rocks podcast, Bethany helps leaders anchor themselves so they don't crumble when pressure hits.In this conversation, Bethany unpacks the wisdom from Matthew 7—the parable of the wise man who built his house on the rock. Storms came to both the wise builder and the foolish one.The difference wasn't whether they faced hardship. The difference was their foundation.In this episode, you'll learn:Why storms come to every leaderThe number one battle you face as a leaderHow to avoid building your business on the sandy foundation of chasing trends, fads, and approvalWhy memorizing Scripture is one of the most practical leadership tools you haveThe biggest misconception leaders have when navigating stormsHow starting your day anchored in Christ changes everything that followsWhy you should never trust a leader who doesn't walk with a limpRedeem Your Business Today How can we honor God in our business?We honor God by anchoring ourselves in Christ before we make a single decision. When a crisis hits, the worst parts of us will shine. If we're internally anxious, selfish, or short-tempered, that's what will come out under pressure.But when we're anchored in Christ, we don't have to know it all or have it all figured out. We can lead with humility and confidence, knowing we're not navigating the storm alone.One challenge from today:Anchor your day in Christ before the chaos hits. Don't wait until you're overwhelmed to pray.Start your morning with God's Word—even if it's just 10 minutes with your coffee. Ask Him: "Show me what I need today. Give me wisdom for the situations coming my way."This isn't a band-aid for a bullet hole. This is corrective surgery that changes how you lead all day long. Prayer before your opinion. Prayer before strategy. That's how you build on the Rock instead of sand.More About Bethany ReesWebsite: www.leadershipontherocks.comLinkedIn: Bethany ReesInstagram: @leadershipontherocksFacebook: Leadership on the RocksFree Resource: Download the Leadership Survival Essentials Checklist to help you lead with clarity and confidence: www.leadershipontherocks.com/checklistBook: Leadership on the Rocks is available at leadershipontherocks.com/book or on Amazon.More About David SchmidtSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Website: redeemingbusinesstoday.comDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

When David started working on a radio frequency welder in 2009, he got so absorbed in the work that his supervisor had to remind him to take breaks. That's passion. But for many employees today, work feels transactional—they're just cogs in a machine with a care meter at zero. The difference? Leadership and culture. They always go hand in hand, either good or bad. Today's guest, Dustin Rogers, knows this firsthand. As owner of DB Rogers and host of Your Impact Story podcast, Dustin has spent his career studying what makes people passionate about their work versus what turns them into clock-watchers. Dustin has traveled the world in the equipment and auction space, witnessing companies decline when new leadership makes changes without honoring what came before. In this conversation, Dustin shares practical wisdom on building culture from the ground up. It applies whether you're launching a startup or revitalizing an established business. Dustin discusses the power of core values that guide decisions when you can't be everywhere. He highlights the importance of seeking feedback from the right people, and why working on yourself as a leader is the foundation of a healthy culture. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your identity as a leader should be in God's purpose, not your work performance How to honor the past while building for the future  The critical role of core values in empowering your team to make aligned decisions How to discern helpful feedback from noise (and why "three times" matters) Simple questions that will help you find what your team really needs to succeed How showing your team you're working on yourself inspires them to bring their best Redeem Your Business Today How can we honor God in our business? We honor God by leading ourselves well before we lead others. Dustin reminds us that our identity isn't found in what we accomplish at work but in fulfilling God's purposes through the talents He's given us.  One challenge from today: Ask yourself: Are you running a race God asked you to run, or one you decided to run on your own? Then ask your team this week: "What tools or resources do you need to do your job better?" That simple question, asked genuinely, might reveal something your team has needed for years but never felt they could ask for.  More About Dustin RogersPodcast: Your Impact Story LinkedInInstagramMore About David SchmidtFree E-Book: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.

Have you ever felt like a second-rate Christian because you work a secular job instead of serving as a pastor or missionary?  Do you wish your life could count for God more than just the time you spend at church on Sundays and weekends? If so, today's episode is for you. This week we’re talking with Nate Belkstrom, who struggled with these same thoughts for years. After Bible college, Nate expected to enter full-time ministry but found himself back at his old job in food and beverage management.  While his friend served as a missionary in Africa, Nate felt crushed. He wondered why he got stuck in a "secular, no-win spiritual job" while others got to serve God full-time. But God didn't change Nate's circumstances. He changed Nate.  After crying out to God one day, Nate began studying every verse in the Bible about work. What he discovered was night and day different from what he'd been taught.  Join us for an encouraging conversation about how your whole life is sacred and why Jesus wants to be your business partner, not just your boss. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Stop leaving Jesus at the door when you go to work.  He doesn't need you to work for Him—He wants to work with you. We are laborers together with Him, and that applies to factory workers, mechanics, doctors, and engineers just as much as pastors and missionaries.  Whatever you do, do it from your heart to honor God, and He will reward you for it. One challenge from today: Go the second mile.  When your boss asks you to go one mile, volunteer to go two. It's actually easier to go two miles than one because you're in charge of the second mile—you've chosen it.  Start with the small things: pick up that piece of paper, stay an extra five minutes, show up fully engaged.  More About Nate BelkstromWebsite: victoryintheworkplace.net Video Podcast: Victory in the Workplace Podcast Apple: Victory in the Workplace Podcast Spotify: Victory in the Workplace Podcast More About David SchmidtFree E-Book: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.

What does your company culture say about you as a leader? Culture is defined as the shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your organization.  But often, company culture is unintentionally shaped by what you do, not what you say. What you do says more about your culture than what you say. Today we're talking with Brandi Kelly, who has journeyed from social worker to superintendent to CEO of Spark HOPE EDU.  After climbing the education ladder and reaching the top, Brandi discovered that success without fulfillment was taking a toll on her health and stealing her sense of purpose. The higher she climbed, the further she got from the people she wanted to serve. So, Brandi started Spark HOPE EDU and is passionate about bringing hope back to burnt-out leaders who feel lost and under pressure to perform. She helps them rediscover their purpose, lead themselves well, and create cultures where people feel valued as human beings—not just employees.  Join us for an honest conversation about the cost of striving, the power of practicing the pause, and why HOPE is the leadership quality your team needs most right now. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Surrender your striving.  God reminded Brandi to "be still and know that I am God." You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength, but you have to give it to Him first.  Be a dealer in hope—your people want to know there's a brighter future ahead. When you lead with hope, you foster trust, compassion, and stability in your organization. One challenge from today: Practice the pause. When emotions run high and people push your buttons, take a step back and take a deep breath. A leader who brings calm brings stability to the organization.  Start tomorrow by checking in with your people as human beings, not just employees. Ask "How are you?" and not just about their projects. People are craving connection because that's how God wired us.More About Brandi KellyWebsite: www.sparkhopeedu.com The HOPE-Fueled Leadership KickstartQuick Spark NewsletterFree download, first chapter of Lead with H.O.P.E.Book: Lead with H.O.P.E.: Building a System of Self-Efficacy More About David SchmidtFree E-Book: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.

Are you doing business alone, or are you part of a community of believers who support each other? In business, it's easy to feel isolated, making decisions on your own, wondering if other Christian business owners face the same challenges. But what if there was a place where believers could connect and support each other in both business and life? Today we are talking with Mina Carlson, President and CEO of the Arizona Christian Chamber of Commerce and head of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce Coalition. The original Chamber of Commerce was founded over 400 years ago, built on faith in God and a commitment to strengthen business and serve the community. Over time, many chambers lost sight of that original purpose, becoming more focused on influence rather than service. Today, God is restoring that original vision through the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce.  The U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce started just two years ago and is about more than just networking. It’s about conscious capital, keeping your dollars in the Christian community, and supporting believers in everything from dentistry to car repairs. Join us as Mina shares stories of Chambers putting their faith into action in their communities. This is about relationships, not transactions. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Wear the Holy Spirit like a garment each day. Like David checked with God before every battle, seek God's direction daily in your business. Prayer is our most powerful tool. One challenge from today: Be intentional about supporting Christian businesses in your community. Who is your dentist, barber, or mechanic? These believers share the same goal of making an eternal impact. Connecting with the USCCC is a great way to find a chamber near you and find like-minded Christian business owners in your community. More About Mina Carlson Website: www.uschristianchamber.com Events in Your Area: www.uschristianchamber.com/events More About David SchmidtFree E-Book: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.

Company culture doesn’t happen by accident. Leaders set the tone by their mindset, values, and the standards they live out.

When your business succeeds, who gets the credit—you or God? And when things go wrong, who gets the blame? In this episode, David Schmidt reminds us that correlation does not equal causation. Prosperity isn’t proof of our power—it’s evidence of God’s goodness. From Jeremiah’s warnings to Deuteronomy’s promises, David shares why remembering the Lord in every season is central to leading well in business and in life. How can we honor God in our business? By giving Him the credit for our success, humbling ourselves, and keeping His Word at the center of our work and decisions. One Challenge From Today: Read God’s Word daily. Let humility and the fear of the Lord guide how you lead your business and your life. Key Takeaways: Perspective matters—only God’s view is true. Prosperity can tempt us to forget God; Scripture warns us not to. By humility and the fear of the Lord come riches, honor, and life. More About David SchmidtSign up for the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly inspiration and Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

Sometimes things go as planned, many times they do not. But God’s plans always work out according to God’s plan.What if you could hear from God so you knew the direction you should go with your business? That would be a game changer.Today we have on Steve Meisenheimer from The Effective Leader to talk about how God speaks to us.Steve speaks from his many years of experience in learning to hear from God and then acting upon it.It’s not a telephone call, letter, or email but God does still speak to His people if we seek His face.This is not a mystical seance where you empty your mind and have it filled with ideas, but a seeking of God’s direction and accepting of what is given you. It is also validating what God is saying through the Bible and other means.Steve has changed the phrase, “This idea might have been from God, but it was probably me” to “This idea might have been from me, but it was probably God.”God may be speaking to you more than you know. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice, they know me, and they follow me (John 10:3-4).Steve hears from the Lord different from how I believe I hear from the Lord, but this is an interesting case study of seeking God’s face and being guided by Him.I believe that God speaks to us today through the Holy Spirit and uses the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and other believers. When these four are in alignment that is an indication that a purpose or action is from God. God works through unity, not majority rule.Listen in to Steve’s journey and how he has learned to hear God’s voice to lead in business and life.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business? When building and operating your business seek to listen and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and not just follow the money.One challenge from today: Get started today to seek to listen to God and grow in your intimacy with God. It’s like a muscle that gets stronger over time.

The quality of your leadership and mental capability depends upon the foods you eat. That may sound like a far-fetched statement, but it is a reality. You are what you eat.In this episode we are joined by Jayne Reynolds, a Brain Nutritionist Health Coach, to delve into the topic of how foods actually affect your brain, your leadership, and what you can do about it.It all began with Jaynes’ own health issues of anxiety and depression being removed within a week of removing certain things from her diet. That started her on a journey to find out more about how food impacts the body, the brain, and our entire life.Jayne comes at things holistically and you will find that not one size fits all. We are all different. We have different likes and dislikes, personalities, leadership styles, ways of learning, and biological needs for the health of our body.If you want a simple and practical explanation of how to best care for your brain and your body, listen today.In this episode:Social Proof: Meet Dan who turned from an irritable and cranky boss to a happy, easy to get along with boss just by changing his diet.

Growth is good. But at what cost are you willing to grow?Partnerships can be great, but not at the cost of compromising your values and culture.Listen in as we dialogue with Rick Johnson who pursued a lucrative growth option and how it cost him dearly. Having realized how compromise in his workplace was costing him his business, he sought the Lord, made changes, and stepped away from this growth opportunity.Operating a business that honors God doesn’t mean you get it right all the time, but when you are going the wrong way, do you listen, adjust, and start going in a way that honor’s God again.Compromising your values and joining together with unbelievers on a business level is not something we are to do according to 2 Corinthians 6:14. We cannot go out of this world, but at what level are we not to be joined together? It’s a line you need to ask God about and follow His lead.Key Take Aways:Don’t put God on a timeline to answer your prayersDon’t go into partnership with an unbelieverListen to warning signs and friends that are alerting you when things are going wrongTake action to make things right. Which may be ending a lucrative business dealIt’s not that you never make mistakes, but when you make them, what do you do to course correct?Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?

Do you ever look around you and feel you are not as good as others? Does that feeling nag you to the point of negatively affecting your actions? You’re not alone.This is a feeling David had his entire life, but this last year has learned a few key lessons to free him from that inferiority mind trap.Listen today as David walks through the journey of what trapped him in an inferiority loop and what the turning point was that allowed him to break free.Your past should not define you. Your future should not define you. What others think and believe about you should not define you. Comparing yourself against the success of others should not define you.There is only one person that defines you that really matters, and it’s not you. It’s God.You are created by God, as His masterpiece, for good works. He has already laid them out before you, you just need to do them.If you have struggled with feeling inferior to others in the past, tune in and find hope, peace, and the courage to move forward boldly in your life.David has gone through that transformation, and you can as well.Verses mentioned in episode:Ephesians 2:10 – God created you for good works2 Timothy 2:20-21 – God uses countless people for His work, not just a few2 Corinthians 10:12 – Don’t compare yourself with othersExodus 6:1, 12 – Success is determined on God, not youOther takeaways:Advice is not as good as counselThe Clarity—Confidence—Actions—Results improvement cycleResults belong to GodMore About David SchmidtSubscribe to Redeeming Business Today Podcast NewsletterBook a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.
