Faith, Entrepreneurship, and Building Media Lifeline Pro | Episode 56 with Cody Stinson

In this episode of Sunday Afternoon Smokes, Chris sits down with neighbor and entrepreneur Cody Stinson — founder of Media Lifeline Pro — for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, business, technology, and resilience. Born three months premature and given almost no chance of survival, Cody shares the story of his early life, the vision complications that shaped his childhood, and the unexpected loss of sight in one eye as an adult. What follows is an honest discussion about identity, disappointment, and learning to trust God when plans shift. From climbing radio towers overseas installing Christian radio stations… to building a web and communications company that now serves 400+ ministries and small businesses… Cody talks about redefining “calling” and seeing business not as separate from ministry — but as a platform for it. They dive into: Missions work and the realities of deputation The technical side of launching radio stations overseas Why Christian business owners may be the church’s most underutilized resource Using systems, automation, and AI to serve people well Finding clarity of purpose after illness and hardship This is a conversation about simplifying your focus, stewarding your talents, and using whatever tools you’ve been given to make an impact. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between faith and work — this one’s for you.
