Faith Driven Entrepreneurs—there’s something we don’t talk about enough... but maybe we should. In a world that applauds hustle and overlooks the hidden parts of our lives, we can start to believe that as long as the business is healthy, we are too. But the truth? “The smallest unrepentant sin becomes big enough eventually and leads us into dark places.” As leaders, creators, and builders—we carry influence. But influence without integrity leads to collapse. The small compromises… the hidden pride… the “acceptable” sins we justify? They don’t stay small. They grow in the dark. And eventually, the exposing is an explosion—hurting teams, families, and our very souls. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You were made to live in the light. To lead from a place of wholeness, not just performance. To model vulnerability, confession, and restoration as core leadership traits—not weaknesses. Faith-driven entrepreneurship isn’t just about what we build— It’s about who we become along the way. Let’s talk about this more. Let’s walk in the light—together. (fb)

"If anything, I am way more excellent at my job as a follower of Jesus than I was as an atheist." Brent Beshore challenges everything we think we know about excellence in business. In our latest Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, Brent shares a counterintuitive truth: "We want you to be excellent, but we want you to be in relationship and remember what excellence is. Excellence, if you're shooting the lights out and you're making tons of money and you are sacrificing your family at the altar of success, you are losing. Like, yeah, you got a yacht and you have no one to enjoy it with." How many of us have bought into the lie that excellence requires sacrifice of what matters most? That peak performance means putting family, health, and relationships on the back burner while we chase the next milestone? Brent's approach to his Main Street Summit reflects this holistic view of excellence: "We can all share these values and say, hey, we're pursuing excellence. We're putting our family first." What if true excellence isn't about choosing between success and significance, but about pursuing both in proper relationship to each other? The most excellent leaders aren't those who achieve the most while sacrificing everything else - they're the ones who build something meaningful while remaining fully present to the people who matter most. Excellence without relationships isn't excellence at all. It's just expensive loneliness. What does true excellence look like in your life and business? (fb)
