37. Building in PUBLIC (and why business IS ministry)

This first PUBLIC episode of Voice Memos is officially live - and it's a doozy. If you're an author, coach, or kingdom-minded leader - welcome! I hope you love it here.I’m sharing why I’ve decided to take this once-exclusive podcast public (eek!), and diving into a conversation I care deeply about: why business isn’t just a means to an end — it’s a vital part of your ministry journey. Because yes, business is ministry.I’m also walking you through the framework and methodology I’ve used for years to help clients build businesses that glorify God and bless their families — but that, until now, I’ve never actually put into words.
