What if God asked you to step into something bigger with Selah Binno | Ep 57

What if God calls you to step into a bigger assignment, but the business you've built over nearly 20 years still demands your full attention? In this raw and vulnerable episode of Leveraging Success, host Jeff Gerhardt coaches Kingdom entrepreneur and leader Selah Binno through a pivotal decision: whether to sell a major revenue-generating division of his company to fully embrace his new role as Executive Director of The Barnabas Group in San Diego.Selah opens up about the tension between his long-standing business (where only 10% of his time aligns with his unique strengths) and a ministry calling that energizes 80% of his gifts and promises greater Kingdom impact. Through real-time coaching, Jeff helps Selah uncover self-limiting beliefs, reframe behaviors, craft a thrilling vision (selling at a 5X multiplier within 8 months), and commit to faith-filled next steps—all while trusting God's sovereignty.This episode delivers powerful tools for leaders wrestling with competing priorities, fear of financial risk, and the courage to pursue God's next assignment.In This Episode:[00:00] Episode Intro & Guest Introduction[01:45] Selah's Journey: Harmonizing Career, Ministry & Life[04:30] The Shift: Ending One Assignment & the Barnabas Group Calling[07:15] The Core Struggle: Prioritizing Focus, Time & Energy[09:40] Unique Ability Assessment: Business vs. Ministry Imbalance[12:20] "Hit by a Bus" Reality Check on Business Dependency[14:50] Exploring Exits: Passion, Energy & Revenue Realities[17:10] Unmasking the "Racket" – It's About Revenue, Not Purpose[19:30] Crafting an Unconstrained Vision for Exit[21:45] Scaling the Vision: From Stretch to Thrilling (5X in 8 Months)[24:00] Identifying Limiting Behaviors & Beliefs[27:30] Reframing Beliefs & Exploring New Business Models[30:15] Gains: Time, Capacity & Financial Margin[32:40] Commitment, Momentum & Micro-Actions[35:20] Loving the Gap, Trusting God & Embracing Cycles[37:50] Inner Excitement & Divine Confirmation[40:00] Closing Prayer for Courage, Wisdom & Direction[42:30] Host Reflections & Episode Wrap-UpNotable Quotes“The mind finds what it believes.” – Jeff Gerhardt“What you believe, you will find—but it takes commitment.” – Jeff Gerhardt“I think Barnabas requires more of me and has more impact… but my career hasn’t leveled up the same.” – Selah Binno“Selling it as an outcome would be very exciting… that would thrill me.” – Selah Binno“My life is very much subject to God’s will and His design… He is the ultimate engineer.” – Selah BinnoOur GuestSelah Binno serves as the Executive Director and Managing Partner of The Barnabas Group in San Diego, a ministry connecting marketplace leaders to advance Kingdom work.
