Building BAM Worldwide: 35 Years of Kingdom Business

from The Business as Mission Podcast with Mike Baer · host Mike Baer

In this powerful solo episode, Mike Baer reflects on the incredible journey that took him from church planting and international missions to helping lead the largest light industrial staffing company in North America—from $200 million to $3.4 billion in revenue. More than numbers, this is a story of Kingdom purpose, discipleship in the workplace, and learning to lead from within—not as the boss, but as a servant with influence.Mike shares the spiritual breakthrough that began in Australia, how God used prayer, community, and culture to bring transformation, and how those lessons inspired his book, Business as Mission When You're Not the Boss. From the launch of Third Path Initiative to the formation of TriVenture and the global rise of national BAM leaders, this episode is both a retrospective and a bold call to action for the next generation of marketplace missionaries.If you’ve ever wondered whether your “ordinary job” can have eternal impact—this is for you.If you’ve enjoyed the Business as Mission podcast, please follow us so you won’t miss any episodes and give us a rating wherever you listen.
