Tuesday Jul 08, 2025
This week, our city was shaken—literally and spiritually—by devastating floods. Homes were destroyed, roads submerged, and lives upended. But even in the chaos, one truth remains: we were not meant to build—or rebuild—alone. In this episode of The Faithful Founder, we’re talking about how Christian entrepreneurs and business owners can rise up in moments like these, using their gifts, platforms, and resources to shoulder the burden for those who need it most.
Whether you have time, tools, or influence, God can use it. Now is the moment to be the hands and feet of Jesus—not just in church, but through your business. Let this be your call to lead with faith, serve with courage, and show up when it matters most.
