Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Shellie Ransom-Jackson, CEO of Benchmark Construction Consulting and Management Inc. Shellie found the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur community and movement at a time when she was seeking mentorship that aligned with her desire to build and grow her business in the construction industry from a Christ-centered perspective. Shellie shares that she is a natural-born risktaker and truly had to learn how to seek and yield to God when it comes to decision-making and pursuing business opportunities.  If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing in pursuit of excellence, you’ll appreciate the challenges that she has overcome and is overcoming with the help of the Holy Spirit. Learning to work by the power of God’s grace has already led to Shellie experiencing more than she’d imagined in business.

Today’s guests on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast are husband and wife entrepreneur team Tim and Dr. Ramona Probasco, co-owners and inventors of inShield Wiper®.  Tim and Dr. Ramona dedicated their business to Jesus as CEO years ago and have worked together to grow their business. They have sold over 250 million inShield Wipers primarily via live demonstration infomercials on QVC, but during the COVID pandemic, their business took a beating and sales plummeted. They are currently in the middle of an expansion of their business - a product line expansion, as well as a big move into retail. They share with vulnerability and transparency, the journey of the last few years, the stretch they are faced with today, and how God has led them, empowered them, and strengthened them in the midst of it all.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Ryan Beck, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Pray.com, which he helped start alongside his fellow co-founding partners in 2016.  Ryan shares how his first venture into business was a bit unconventional, selling drugs as a teenager, but he encountered God powerfully during his time in prison and gave his life to Christ. After being released from prison, he studied theology at bible college and also cultivated a heart for Kingdom impact.  He later pursued studies in computer science and developed skills to serve organizations at the intersection of technology and faith. In this conversation, Ryan shares how he cultivates and expresses Kingdom culture through love in leadership as a CTO within the company, and how the Holy Spirit has guided him as he and his team have created the world’s #1 app for daily prayer and faith-based audio content. Ryan’s story is truly one that illustrates God’s providence. As the Proverbs say, the heart of man plans

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is author and writing coach Nika Maples.   At the age of 20, Nika experienced a massive brainstem stroke that left her quadriplegic, and the foundations were laid for her to trust God in ALL things as she walked through a journey of a miraculous recovery.  Nika shares about her adventurous and Holy Spirit-led transition from teaching English in public schools, to writing and speaking full time, to the work that she does today.  There’s much to glean from her walk with the Lord, learning to trust Him to indeed be the Source of provision.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Pete Jones, CEO of Daily Kairos and the creator of the Daily Kairos Journal.  Pete is a corporate dropout turned full-time entrepreneur who left his big paycheck behind to align with what God was putting on his heart. He shares about his adventures in business and how he started to draw closer to God and begin to view his entire life and business as ministry. Some words and a vision from the Lord led to him and his wife starting an e-commerce business providing solutions to help others cultivate a lifestyle of engaging God.  In the process of helping others, he too is growing and experiencing more Kairos living (and working), led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Portia Jackson, founder of Wealthy and Fulfilled.  Portia describes her entrepreneurial journey as “a mix of the Israelites doing laps around a mountain that was supposed to be about 11 days, coupled with some Jonah trying to run away from fear, with a splash of Saul hiding out in the luggage, and that’s before she gets to the New Testament analogies.” It’s a fun conversation about how Portia stepped out of a corporate career as a rocket scientist and eventually into God’s original call as a financial coach to online business owners.  She shares how she partners with Holy Spirit in her business, and how her spiritual giftings supercharge her natural giftings and interests, to bring transformation to those she serves.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Jim Baker, senior leader and pastor of Zion Christian Fellowship in Powell, Ohio, and the founder of the Wealth With God movement. After seeing a massive breakthrough of miraculous healings take place in his local congregation, the Lord instructed Jim to go after finances the same way that they went after healing. His yes to that instruction led to an 18-part sermon series on finances and yielded amazing financial breakthrough among those in his church, with about 25% of the congregation getting completely out of debt within a year.  Soon after, he was given another assignment from God --  to create a movement of Kingdom wealth-builders who understand that prosperity has a purpose and that it’s about influence and impact. In today’s episode, Jim shares the behind-the-scenes of what the last few years have looked like as he said yes to the assignment to launch the Wealth with God movement -- how he’s growing in working with God and in His rest.
