Theology. Culture. Entrepreneurship. At Faith Driven Entrepreneur, we believe that these three elements are deeply connected. Who is God? How has He made us? What does He want for the world? As Dave Blanchard, Co-founder and CEO of Praxis puts it, when we ask these questions, we start to see the bigger picture. It’s not just what’s happening in the world, but how we, as entrepreneurs, can respond. The world needs leaders who don’t just talk about faith but put it into action. Entrepreneurs who see the brokenness in culture and deploy the tools of business to bring restoration. Imagine what could happen if more entrepreneurs operated from this perspective. This is more than a movement—it’s a calling.

Faith Driven Entrepreneurs: Are we in a “How Moment”? The sacred-secular divide is shrinking. Many of us now understand that God cares deeply about our work. But here’s the challenge: What’s next? In the latest Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast, Justin Forman and Dave Blanchard explore this critical inflection point. Yes, people are fired up about their gifts and purpose, but over 60% still struggle with one question: “How do I live this out?” Dave Blanchard paints a compelling vision of what's possible: + Applying redemptive principles to every industry and issue. + Encouraging the church to respond to culture entrepreneurially. + Deploying tools of entrepreneurship with theology and culture at the center. This moment isn’t just about understanding our purpose—it’s about turning that understanding into action. Whether you’re in medicine, business, or the arts, there’s a unique way to reflect God's heart and advance His Kingdom. Let’s move past just knowing that God cares about our work. Let’s step into bold, redemptive action in 2025 and beyond. 🎧 Listen to the full episode wherever you enjoy podcasts. What’s one “how” you’re working on this year? Let us know below!

How would you define excellence? "It's to the degree that we do our work well, that we have an opportunity to witness and be heard." Excellence matters!

How well-supported do you feel in living out your calling as an entrepreneur within your church/community? 1️⃣ I feel highly supported—my church community actively encourages and equips entrepreneurs. 2️⃣ I feel somewhat supported—there’s some encouragement but not much specific guidance. 3️⃣ I feel there’s room for growth—I would appreciate more intentional support for entrepreneurs. 4️⃣ Neutral—I haven’t considered how my church community could support entrepreneurs.

Take the time to put on the armor God gifted us with – prayer.

“If you're not clear on your calling, then you're going to get dissipated. You're going to just spread your time and talent across too many things. And if you don't know how to create leverage, you're just going to have to run harder and harder and harder. But if you can get clear on the kind of entrepreneur you are, know you're calling, and create leverage, then if you persist over time, you will see compounding return.” – Lloyd Reeb, Founding Partner of Halftime & 100x Forum From Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast: Episode 320 - Building a Life of 100X Impact with Lloyd Reeb
