If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, you’ve probably felt the tension: Can I pursue business success, make money, and still honor God? This episode of Kingdom Entrepreneur is a direct, confronting reset—because faith, family, fitness, business, and money are not separate lanes. You only get one life. And when we try to compartmentalize—church over here, business over there—it creates confusion, guilt, burnout, and a success that still feels empty.

Ray shares his own journey of starting in business at age 10, learning sales early, then wrestling with the pressure and judgment around money: Is money my god? Is success sinful? Through Ecclesiastes, Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents), and 1 Corinthians 4, this conversation reframes wealth and entrepreneurship as stewardship. If God has placed something in your hand—opportunity, relationships, influence, skills, resources—then you’re called to use it well, multiply faithfully, and keep an open hand. This is for builders who want a Kingdom business that blesses customers, employees, families, and communities—without losing their soul.

• The real question every Kingdom entrepreneur must answer

• Why compartmentalizing faith and business creates hidden damage

• The parable of the talents applied to money, opportunity, and calling

• What it means to live with an “open hand” in business and wealth

If you’re a Christian business owner who feels called to more impact, more clarity, and more purpose, but you’re stuck living faith on Sunday and business on Monday, this is for you. The Kingdom Entrepreneur Podcast is about integrating faith and business so your company isn’t something separate from God; it becomes part of your calling. Host Ray Young (entrepreneur, leadership coach, consultant, husband, dad, “Pop”) has built businesses across multiple industries and learned leadership the hard way. Now he helps leaders build profitable, scalable businesses on biblical principles; because work is worship and leadership is stewardship.

Inside this show, you’ll get practical, honest conversations and real testimonies that help you scale without losing your soul, scale without losing your family, and scale without losing yourself. We’ll talk about biblical leadership, healthy team culture, stewardship of money, purpose-driven growth, and the mindset shift that changes everything: it’s God’s business, and He wants to do something significant through the work in your hands.

• How to integrate faith into leadership decisions (hiring, serving, scaling)

• A “no split life” framework: one faith, one life, one business

• How to build healthy teams and a culture that thrives

• Money stewardship: manage, plan, and profit with integrity
