In this conversation, Cameron Doolittle and I have a conversation around leading with prayer, getting organizations to not just slap on a prayer before and after a meeting as an after thought, but to actually implement a culture of prayer that produces fruit that is only possible if we abide in the vine. Because if we aren't praying, we can't multiply prayer because you can't multiply by zero. We talk about listening to God, hearing His voice, and following His lead, setting appointments with God, finding rhythms of prayer that we can engage in and the link between giving and prayer. Join us as we learn how to lead with prayer and create organizations and churches that have a prayer culture.Cameron Doolittle is Co-author of the book, Lead with Prayer, senior advisor to the Maclellan Foundation, executive director of John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way, and co-founder of Generosity Path. He previously served as an advisor to senators, congressmen, and senior executives at Fortune 500 companies through his consulting firm, since acquired by Gartner. Cameron advises high-impact givers and great ministries. He now consults with organizations that his family loves, including BibleProject, Desiring God with John Piper, Faith Driven Giver with Henry Kaestner, ECFA, Awana, Christianity Today, YoungLife, and others. He served as founding CEO of Jill's House, a ministry for kids with intellectual disabilities.

As Christians, we can easily get wrapped up in this belief that the church is on the losing side of history. We feel the shifting winds of culture blow away from us. We hear story after story of major church leaders either leaving the faith or succumbing to some sort of moral failure. It makes sense to ask ourselves: where are our wins? Where does the Church have victory in times like this?In this episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast, Henry Kaestner and Justin Forman bring some clarity to those questions in a segment we call “the riff” where we bring listeners in on some of the internal conversations we're having as a team.They'll share about some of the incredible wins happening across the world and give examples of Faith Driven Entrepreneurs who are solving some of the world's greatest problems by stewarding their businesses and resources for God's glory and the good of others. Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts on LinkedIn or sending them to podcast@faithdrivenentrepreneur.org. If you like this episode, you can follow, rate, and share the show.

Do you consider yourself a faithful Christian? Recently, I joined a book club and we're reading, "Faith Driven Entrepreneur" by Henry Kaestner, J.D. Greear, and Chip Ingram. Chapter 8 struck me to the core! Faithful vs. Willful. Major self-discovery during this chapter, and in this quick message today, I share parts of the chapter to help you move from willful to faithful. Willfulness is focusing on your way, your efforts, and your work, not the work of God in you. Faithfulness is doing our part, but leaving the results to God!   Verse of the week: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. – John 16:33   I challenge you to listen to this motivational message and buy the book on Amazon. Then think about the things you're trying to control and find some quiet time to pray and surrender them to God. Try to make this a daily habit to move from willfulness to faithfulness.   Connect with me at www.bossladyinsweatpants.com  Grab the Ignite Your Light journal - a prayer journal to help you stay encouraged and anchored in your faith during the different seasons of life.

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Alan, and Henry discuss: Building businesses with thriving employees in a faith-driven movement. Living your faith without playing small in business and investment.Being fully activated in faith and with God. Bringing the right people along with you on the journey.   Key Takeaways: One of the greatest things you can do is provide someone with a job where they can thrive, innovate, and discover the joy of generosity. Funds can grow incredibly quickly when built on Biblical principles and help other like-minded businesses thrive. If your children know your faith story, they will better understand God's glory and understand their Savior and be able to build their own faith story. Lean into the joy of generosity and doing so in the community. Living God's truth and God's way is not done by the sole individual.   "Business can be run really well, not at the expensive of Biblical values, but because of them." —  Henry Kaestner About Henry Kaestner: Henry Kaestner co-founded the Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Faith Driven Investor ministries, and has been a catalyst behind both movements.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Chandler Vannoy are joined by Henry Kaestner. Kaestner is the co-founder of Bandwidth, managing principal at Sovereign's Capital, and co-author of Faith Driven Entrepreneur. They discuss the relationship between pastors and faith driven entrepreneurs and finding identity in Christ, not in entrepreneurship. BEST QUOTES "Casting and solving problems is a part of getting into this work that is done by God as His kingdom is advancing.""I think that faith-driven entrepreneurs are being used by God in the marketplace to really impact culture.""Now my biggest leadership challenge is how do I help to lead a movement that is not about me.""Your identity is as a beloved child of God. When God looks at you He doesn't see that Mark Zuckerberg type of character that you might want to be, He sees His son.""The balance that an entrepreneur has is: Am I faithful and obedient? Do I have a right understanding of my identity?""One of the marks of a faith-driven entrepreneur is to be faithful rather than willful.""I would tell my 20-year-old self, my 35-year-old self, my 51-year-old-self who just yesterday made decisions without just pausing for a second to ask God, 'Help me make sure that this is not of you, to just kill it.'"

In this edition of the FDE Podcast, we get a peek into the longtime friendship and partnership (let’s just call it what it is – a bromance) between David Morken and Henry Kaestner, co-Founders of Bandwidth and Republic Wireless. They share with us the divine origins of their relationship (Henry was a direct answer to David’s prayer) and how their relationship translated into a successful business where people are promoted as much as the product. They talk about the need to be able to work through conflict in healthy ways and the conscious effort needed to incorporate others into this dynamic mix to create high functioning, mission ready, people-centric organizations. And who doesn’t want that? Part One of this discussion focuses on the friendship and partnership rooted in Christ that launched the company while next week's episode gets into how together they created a culture that reproduced kingdom concepts and principles in the lives of their employees. You don’t want to miss any of this. We serve a Trinitarian God who does everything in community and Who tasks us to follow suit. We’d love to hear your stories about those important relationships in your life directly impacting your faith driven entrepreneur pursuits at faithdrivenentrepreneur.org. It will encourage us all!
