Billy Graham said one of the next great movements of God would be by believers in the marketplace. The men in this episode have spent twenty years proving he was right. Bryan Dawson sits down with the team behind The Lions Den, a Birmingham event best described as a Christian "Shark Tank." Companies from Africa, Asia, South America and right here at home present their business case to a panel of successful Christian businessmen who grill them on profit, social impact, creation care, and the one most organizations skip: the spiritual bottom line. This is the "trade, not aid" argument in practice. A bakery in a South African township that opened doors no missionary could open. A cheese factory and dairy in Moldova that grew from three employees to thirty and kept fathers from leaving the country to find work. A fried chicken chain, a bank and an IT company in Sierra Leone, the eighth poorest country on earth. A factory owner in China who says his ministry runs from eight to five. "There are ten to twenty times more business owners than there are pastors. What's going to change America and the world is business owners stewarding their companies in a way that has impact." TOPICS TACKLED: Why the sacred and secular divide has convinced Christian businessmen they are second-class citizens The quadruple bottom line: profit, social, spiritual, and creation care "Trade, not aid," and why starting businesses beats shipping rice Sierra Leone, Moldova, South Africa, China: what happens when a job replaces a handout How to measure spiritual impact in a business without turning it into a sales pitch Why pursuing the spiritual bottom line tends to produce the social one, and not the reverse The Lions Den format, who should attend, and what happens at the Professional Summit   THE LIONS DEN, OCTOBER 14-16, BIRMINGHAM: Tickets and details: https://www.thelionsden.us/tickets Event listing: https://businessasmission.com/resources/the-lions-den/  X / Twitter: https://x.com/bhmtld Promo Video: https://vimeo.com/1225717422?fl=pl&fe=sh Venue: The Harbert Center, 2019 4th Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203.

Episode Summary What if the thing you're asking God for requires you to become someone you haven't yet become? In 2 Kings 2, Elisha makes a bold request before Elijah is taken into heaven: a double portion of Elijah's spirit. But this wasn't simply a request for “more.” The biblical context connects the double portion with inheritance and succession, making Elisha's request a powerful picture of readiness for the assignment ahead. In this episode, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores what Elisha's journey through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the Jordan can teach us about spiritual growth, resilience, capacity, mindset, and navigating the next assignment God may be preparing us to carry. Because sometimes the question isn't: “What do I do next?” It's: “Who must I become to carry what's next?” This episode completes the five-room CROWNed framework: Character, Reign, Order, Worth, and Navigation. What You'll Discover What Elisha's double portion really represented Why greater assignments require greater capacity Why staying in motion matters when you're tempted to stop How mindset and resilience affect your ability to carry your assignment How to recognize areas where you still need growth Why arriving at who you are isn't the finish line How the five CROWNed rooms work together to help you navigate what's next Detailed Timestamps 00:00 — The request almost everyone overlooksDr. Chonta opens with the moment before Elijah's departure and the unusual request Elisha makes. 00:20 — Your crown doesn't get lighterGrowth doesn't necessarily remove responsibility. Instead, you become stronger and more capable of carrying it. 00:35 — The fifth room: NavigationThe journey moves from knowing who you are to determining how you will navigate what comes next. 00:53 — Elisha's bold requestElijah asks Elisha what he wants, and Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. 01:17 — “You've asked a hard thing”Greater capacity requires a greater level of preparation and responsibility. 01:40 — Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and the JordanElisha continues moving forward even when he's repeatedly given opportunities to stop. 02:05 — The double portion isn't simply givenThe deeper lesson: what you're asking to carry requires preparation to carry it. 02:17 — God doesn't grow your capacity while you're standing stillWhy remaining comfortable can prevent you from developing the capacity your next assignment requires. 02:45 — Who must you become?The central question of navigation shifts from “What should I do?” to “Who must I become?” 03:07 — Mindset, resilience and capacityThese aren't fixed traits. They develop as you continue walking through your terrain. 03:17 — Is your capacity ready?A practical challenge: identify the assignment you sense is coming and evaluate whether you're prepared to carry it. 03:37 — The complete CROWNed frameworkCharacter. Reign. Order. Worth. Navigation. 03:51 — From information to transformationExplore the Building Your Faith-Based Business playlist, CROWNed Clarity Workshop and CROWNed by Design. 04:12 — When you're ready for business transformationIntroduction to the Business Builder Accelerator. 04:27 — Adjust your crownThe circumstances may not immediately change, but your understanding of who you were designed to become can change everything. 04:54 — Which room met you?A final invitation to identify the CROWNed room that spoke most directly to your current season.

What if your pricing problem isn't really a pricing problem?

You track your metrics. You set your strategy. You connect the dots. But what happens when the Lord won't let you see the outcome? In this episode, we go to Genesis 12 and Hebrews 11 to learn what Abraham teaches Christian business leaders: obedience, faith, commitment, and worship. In this episode, you'll explore: Why high achievers are especially tempted to lead by sight — and why the ROI-driven, outcome-focused mindset is the exact place faith is most needed. How to read Genesis 12:1-3 as a leadership lesson — circling the "I will" statements God made to Abraham and recognizing that His promises are greater than anything we can see in our humanness. Why Abraham's four-part response to God's call — obedience, faith, commitment, and worship — is the template for how Christian leaders move forward without a clear outcome. What it looks like to follow Abraham's example when you're mid-assignment, mid-build, and mid-season. Why every promise in the Word is fulfilled in Jesus — and how that truth silences the enemy's voice when outcomes don't look the way you planned. Scriptures referenced: Genesis 12:1-9 Hebrews 11:9, 17  Key Takeaway: Abraham didn't see the outcome. He didn't live to see the promise fulfilled in Jesus. And yet he was obedient, faithful, committed, and worshiped, because the Promise-maker is also the Promise-keeper. You are not called to see the finish line. You are called to be obedient in the mile you're in. Reflection Question: Where in your business right now are you more focused on the outcome than on the obedience — and what would it look like to lay that at the foot of the cross this week?

We've all heard the conventional wisdom that to run a successful business, you need to "put the right people on the right seats on the bus."  Unfortunately, that advise ignores a more important element of business success.  Before you arrange the people, you must have the bus in good condition.  That means the systems and structure of an organization must effective and efficient.  ***********************************************         Dave Kahle is a B2B sales expert and a Christian Business thought leader.  He has authored 13 books, presented in 47 states and 11 countries and worked with over 500 sales organizations.  In these ten-minute podcasts, his unique blend of out-of-the-box thinking and practical insights will challenge and enable you to sell better, lead better and live better.     The Sales Excellence Club

Episode Summary: What if your business isn't actually disorganized? What if it's simply unsteered? In this episode of the Heart 2 Heart Truth Podcast, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores CROWN Room 3: Order and reveals why Christian entrepreneurs often struggle with systems—not because they lack discipline, but because they're trying to build according to someone else's assignment. Using the rebuilding of Nehemiah's wall as a biblical model, Dr. Chonta shows how each family was given a specific section to steward. The wall wasn't rebuilt because everyone had identical skills or followed the same blueprint. It worked because the structure matched the assignment. The same principle applies to your business. Your best system isn't necessarily the one everyone else is using. It's the one that allows you to steward what God has entrusted to you. This episode challenges you to audit one business system and ask: "Does this reflect my actual assignment—or am I still running someone else's blueprint?"

Many entrepreneurs believe growth comes from reaching more people. Scripture teaches something different. In this episode, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores Genesis 1 and reveals why God intentionally gave Adam one garden before expanding his influence. If you're struggling with your niche, audience, messaging, or calling, this biblical perspective will help you stop chasing everyone and start stewarding your specific assignment. You'll discover why: • Dominion begins with stewardship. • Clarity creates influence. • Your assignment determines your audience. • Kingdom impact grows through faithful stewardship. This episode is part two of the CROWN by Design business series. Today's lesson explores the second room of the CROWN Framework: Reign. Dr. Chonta Haynes explains why so many Christian entrepreneurs remain exhausted trying to serve everyone instead of embracing the audience God specifically assigned to them. Drawing from Genesis, Nehemiah, and practical coaching experience, you'll learn how specificity unlocks greater influence, stronger messaging, and deeper impact. If you've been asking, "Who am I really called to serve?" this conversation provides biblical wisdom to help you move forward with clarity. 00:00 The Garden Was Smaller on Purpose00:45 Character Before Reign01:28 Dominion Was Never About Size02:10 Your Assignment Isn't Everyone02:58 Why Your Message Isn't Connecting03:35 The Power of Specificity04:05 Discover Your Assignment04:45 Your Next Step Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

They are books that consistently point readers back to Jesus, and the Word, and I find that Holy Spirit illuminates something new every time I read them!  In this episode, you'll explore: Why these five books have earned a permanent spot on my shelf My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers — the timeless daily devotional that transcends generations I Want God: Forever Changed by the Revival of Your Soul by Lisa Whittle — six hard-hitting chapters that realign your wants to what matters most The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell — a classic leadership framework that illuminates something new every time God and Money by John Cortines and Gregory Ballmer — how two Harvard MBAs discovered what the Bible really says about generosity and wealth Liberating Ministry From the Success Syndrome by Kent and Barbara Hughes — a convicting reframe of what success actually looks like in the kingdom How each of these books connects to the assignments, money stories, and leadership topics that we've been covering here on the podcast Books referenced: My Utmost for His Highest — Oswald Chambers I Want God: Forever Changed by the Revival of Your Soul — Lisa Whittle The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership — John Maxwell God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School — John Cortines and Gregory Ballmer Liberating Ministry From the Success Syndrome — Kent and Barbara Hughes Key Takeaway The books that last are the ones rooted in God's truth — because His truth never goes out of style! Whether it's a devotional from 1927, a leadership framework, or a Harvard MBA's journey to generosity, every book on this list keeps pointing back to the same thing: Jesus and the Word.

While we desire to let Jesus lead, wouldn't it be GREAT to have clear instructions on how to do that? Many of us high-achieving Christian women are letting Jesus lead in some places but not others. And the result of carrying that weight alone often looks like burnout, broken relationships, and a faith that stays neatly contained to Sunday. There's a better way — and Jesus gives us five clear instructions for it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why meditating on God's Word (Joshua 1:7–9) is the first and foundational step to letting Jesus lead your business — and what it actually produces What it means to truly follow Jesus as a Christian entrepreneur (hint: it requires sacrifice and the surrender of self-direction) How John 15 reframes everything about productivity and accomplishment — and why "without me, you can do nothing" is not a warning but a truth wrapped in grace & love Why we seek everyone else's counsel before we seek His — and how Matthew 6:33 corrects that pattern What walking in your new self (2 Corinthians, Ephesians) has to do with how you show up in your Christian business today The powerful example of Peter in Luke 5 — and what his "at your word, I will let down the net" teaches us about obedience in the face of doubt Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:5 Matthew 22:37–38 Joshua 1:7–9 Matthew 16:24 Romans 8:28 John 15:5 Matthew 6:33 2 Corinthians 5:17 Ephesians 4:20–24 Luke 5:1–11 Key Takeaway: Whether you're scaling an established business or refining what you've built, this episode will remind you that Jesus has the exact instructions for how to let Him lead what He's already placed in your hands. And when you follow those instructions, you'll experience the full measure of His joy and peace as you work! Reflection Questions to Apply Today's Episode Which of the five instructions — meditate, follow, abide, seek, or walk in your new self — are you most naturally living out in your business, and which one is Jesus inviting you to surrender more fully to Him today? Where in your business are you leading yourself instead of letting Jesus lead? What would it look like to say, like Peter, "At your word, I will move" in that specific area? What old habits, past failures, or need for control are keeping you from walking fully in the new creation He's already made you to be — and what is one step you can take this week to release that to Him?

How long do you spend with God? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? An hour?? In reality, we should be spending 24 hours with God! He is always behind what we do, what we say, how we move throughout our day. Today's guest Chris Simpson talks about how he stays in constant contact with God while being a family and business leader.    In this episode, you'll discover…  Key trait to win at home and at work? (:58) What is a "Divine Baseline" (2:19) Spirituality and being in the Secret Service. (7:02)  It all comes down to identity. (13:56) Chris's Bio:  Before being selected to lead CBMC International, Chris dedicated 28 years to a distinguished career in the public sector.  As a Commanding Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, he led some of the world's toughest personnel, honing his leadership skills in demanding environments.

Tonight on More Than The Bag, we discussed what it truly means to build business God's way. Success without God, preparation, integrity, and obedience will eventually collapse.We talked about committing our plans to the Lord, preparing before building, counting the cost, and walking in honesty and integrity as believers in business and leadership. We also briefly discussed the book of Nehemiah and how rebuilding requires prayer, vision, strategy, and perseverance.This message was for entrepreneurs, leaders, ministry leaders, and anyone God is calling to build in this season.

“Lord, help my unbelief.” Do you say you believe, yet walk in doubt? That's the hard question at the heart of this episode. Building directly off last week's conversation about anchoring your identity in Christ, we're going deeper — into what it actually looks like to stop circling the mountain and trade doubt for conviction as you work, lead, and walk out your Kingdom assignment.  This one is going to make you think, and it may make you uncomfortable (which is a GOOD thing in the name of Jesus)! In This Episode: Why operating from doubt and fear in the face of God's truth is dishonoring to Him — and what to do about it What Colossians 2:4-23 says about being rooted, built up, and established in Christ — and why the world's arguments don't get a vote A deep dive into Ephesians 1 and 2 — and the I Am Tool that helps you see who God's word says you really are Why James 3:9 applies to the way you speak about yourself — not just others What 2 Timothy 1:7-12 reveals about fear, power, love, and sound judgment Knowing that your assignment was predestined before the foundation of the earth — and what that means for the doubt you're carrying today Scripture References: Colossians 2:4-23 Ephesians 1 & 2  James 3:9 2 Timothy 1:7-12 Key Takeaway: Your feelings are not facts — they are information. When doubt and fear show up, they are a signal to turn back to the Word, not a verdict on your assignment. God chose you, equipped you, and predestined this work before the foundation of the earth. The question is not whether he has prepared you. The question is whether you will be convicted by that truth — and walk in it. Reflection Questions From This Episode: How much longer do you want to operate from doubt and fear instead of coming into full agreement with his truth? Are you convicted by what the world shows you — or by what His Word says about you? Do you treat your feelings as facts or as information? Will you stop circling the mountain and take the next step? Coming up in May: How your anchored, convicted identity shapes the way you view competition and the culture you build in your organization. God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual. Be convicted by that today.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, “Am I doing enough as a mom?”—this episode is going to meet you right there.   Today, I'm sitting down with Marcia Myers and her daughter Julissa, and we're getting real about the pressure so many of us carry in motherhood—especially as faith-driven women balancing business, leadership, and raising kids. We talk about what it actually looks like to parent from peace instead of panic… and why so much of our anxiety comes from trying to control outcomes that were never ours to carry.   This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply freeing.   In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why your child's behavior is not a direct reflection of your worth as a mom ✨ How to release the pressure of “getting it right” and trust God with the outcome ✨ The difference between disciplining your child and honoring who God created them to be ✨ How to shift from reactive parenting to faith-led, intentional motherhood ✨ A powerful mindset shift: turning pressure into prayer (and how this changes everything)   This is about more than parenting strategies—it's about healing your mindset, anchoring your identity in God, and creating a home rooted in peace.   Take a moment to listen, reflect, and share this with another mom who needs the reminder—you're not doing this alone

I was blessed to be invited to speak to my friend Mkwenda's mastermind of Christian business owners recently, and what started out as me telling a quick version of my story turned into me sharing a ton of the business and life lessons that God has been teaching me lately.
