Personally, I've always been driven to understand the entrepreneur as I believe most innovators in education have an entrepreneurial spirit. A couple years ago, I began to listen to a podcast by Henry Kaestner called the Faith Driven Entrepreneur (www.faithdrivenentrepreneur.org), so I connected with Henry and asked him to share some of what he has discovered through his life experience and podcast interviews with entrepreneurs. Henry Kaestner is Managing Partner of Sovereign's Capital, and Co-founder and previous CEO of Bandwidth. Mr. Kaestner has been involved in a number of other ventures, and has a second podcast entitled Faith Driven Investor (www.faithdriveninvestor.org).

This week’s podcast has us listening in on a talk Tim Keller gave to Sovereign’s Capital last September where he meticulously unpacks the hidden truth of identity formation, its habits and rituals, in both the Western and greater world. We are fed these belief systems from the moment we breathe and too often we are defined by the greater world without our consent. He steps us through examples of how our thinking is specifically impacted by these external forces that define us outside of the context of Christ. Tim shares with us the cultural problems of both traditional (your community defines you) and modern (you define you) identity formation and shows why the gospel is the only solution to living an authentic, impactful life. We thought this would be one of the best ways to start 2019 – to really spend some time evaluating who we think we are and how that measures with who God says we are. We apologize in advance for the cognitive dissonance this episode may bring. We bless you with the Spirit of God Who imparts all truth and invite you to share the things God is revealing to you via this episode. Feel free to drop us a line at Faith Driven Entreprenuer.
