Nearly half of America’s teenagers already have a business idea they can’t stop thinking about. David Kinnaman, CEO of Barna Group, joins Justin Forman to unpack brand-new research on what’s driving this generation of builders — and why the church has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to disciple them well.

David walks through the numbers: entrepreneurially minded teens are 85% more likely to feel hopeful about the future, 148% more likely to feel called to their work, and 88% more likely to already have a mentor. But that same drive comes with real pressure — many of these same teens feel pushed to chase goals someone else chose for them.

Drawing on the story of Daniel in Babylon, David makes the case for a “theology of influence” — preparing young people for a level of impact no one can fully predict. Justin and David also dig into what it means to raise kids in “digital Babylon,” where technology built to capture attention is quietly shaping identity long before a first business plan ever gets written.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Watch the full episode on YouTube or continue to stream audio on your favorite podcast platform.

A $2 billion exit sounds like the finish line. For Stephen Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi, it was the start of one of the hardest seasons of his life. Stephen sits down with Justin Forman to unpack the full arc of Poppi’s story — from a Dallas farmers market and a Wyoming kitchen, to Shark Tank, to becoming one of the largest exits in beverage history when PepsiCo acquired the company.

Stephen gets specific about the decisions that mattered most: rewriting Poppi’s formula a week before pitching on Shark Tank, the internal fight over whether to market Poppi as a health tonic or a soda, and the moment his team turned down a $1 billion offer because the deal — and later a $1.65 billion offer — didn’t feel right. He’s just as candid about what came after the money hit the bank account: an unexpected identity crisis, isolation, and a season of learning to sit still.

The conversation closes on what’s next — a season Stephen calls “preferment,” not retirement — and how a faith that had gone dormant since his teenage years was reawakened through the entrepreneurial journey itself, from a providential tax refund to the conviction to walk away from money that didn’t align with what felt right.

What happens when you stop talking about entrepreneurship being lonely — and just show people the proof? Recorded live at FDE’s annual staff retreat, Justin Forman sits down with Mark Grunden and Addison Williams to unpack real footage from Faith Driven Entrepreneur Groups meeting in living rooms, churches, and Zoom calls around the world.

From a London entrepreneur now supporting a community of 260 business owners, to a 57-campus church network in Nairobi, Kenya that has folded the FDE Foundation course into its entire discipleship program, this episode is packed with evidence that community changes everything for a founder. Mark and Addison break down exactly who these groups reach — team leaders, intrapreneurs, franchisees, tech founders — and why leading one takes no certification, just a willingness to open a space.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur who’s never felt fully known in a small group, or a church leader wondering how to serve the business owners in your congregation, this conversation lays out a simple, ready-to-go next step.

A near-drowning in the Persian Gulf. A camel accident in the Egyptian desert three days later. And in between, a voice Christian Pinkston says was unmistakably God’s. The CEO of PR and marketing firm Pinkston joins Justin Forman for a conversation that starts with a question about marketing in the AI era and ends up somewhere far more personal: the 45-year identity Christian built on performance, the shame underneath it, and the grace — not the cheap kind — that rebuilt him.

Christian opens up about growing up in Texas after his parents’ divorce, the “soundtrack” of never being good enough, and how he learned to perform his way into looking impressive to everyone around him — including his own wife. He shares, in raw detail, the night in Dubai when a riptide nearly took his life, and the accident in Cairo three days later that left him unconscious with a fractured skull. It’s in a hospital bed, alone and unable to communicate with anyone around him, that he says God finally got his full attention.

Justin and Christian also talk shop: how AI has supercharged content creation while eroding trust, why story is the foundation of every real relationship in business, and why the guiding principles Christian built his marketing firm on — like “people matter most” and “exceed expectations” — trace directly back to his faith. The conversation closes with why Christian now spends his time mentoring young men, helping them find an identity rooted in Christ instead of performance.

00:00 A near-death encounter in the Persian Gulf

01:38 What does marketing even mean today?

03:23 Campfires, story, and the shadow it casts

04:48 How AI is reshaping — and eroding trust in — marketing

08:18 “Tell me your story”: the first question in every conversation

10:10 45 years without seeing what stood in the way

11:18 Growing up in Texas: abandonment, shame, and a false identity

13:00 The riptide: a near-drowning in Dubai

16:30 Three days later: a camel accident in the Egyptian desert

19:00 Alone in a Cairo hospital, God speaks

24:25 Naming it: shame

26:40 The blinders removed: an Old Testament parallel

27:13 Why the Holy Spirit often works through pain

28:26 How God sees you: the gospel of undeserved grace

30:31 “I was blind”: survival, performance, and addiction to being impressive

32:05 The long road to gratitude for the pruning

33:17 The call to speak to young men — and his wife’s push

36:44 Pouring into young men ever since

37:01 “The hero of that story is you. But we’re not the hero.”

40:36 Why we need to tell the stories of brokenness, not just success

42:14 Being the same man at the breakfast table and in the boardroom

45:47 Closing: the authenticity that starts here

77% of pastors say their number one need is more leaders. But the most common strategy for solving it, the leadership pipeline, has never actually worked. David Ashcraft knows this firsthand: he grew LCBC Church from a 200-person plant in Pennsylvania to 25 locations and 28,000 weekend attendees, developing 275 of his 300 staff members from within the congregation. His secret wasn’t a pipeline. It was a culture.

Now serving with the Global Leadership Network, home of the Global Leadership Summit, which reaches roughly 400,000 leaders annually across 1,120 sites worldwide, David brings hard-won clarity to the questions every pastor and entrepreneur is asking: How do you actually develop leaders? How do you know when your bench is deep enough to scale? And how do you measure what matters without becoming a box-checker?

Justin and David also unpack the broader faith-work movement, the evolution from the 1980s financial stewardship conversation through today’s marketplace integration, and why the Global Leadership Summit may be your church’s best tool to identify, develop, and deploy the leaders already sitting in your pews.

In this episode recorded live at Kingdom Advisors, John walks through the two questions that reframe everything: not “How much do I need to give?” but “How much do I really need to keep?” He unpacks the four heart conditions (pride, coveting, anxiety, and indifference) and their gospel antidotes: gratitude, contentment, trust, and love. Drawing from King David and King Nebuchadnezzar as the ultimate biblical contrast, John shows how subtle pronoun shifts reveal where our hearts really are.

John also casts a bold vision: professionally managed giving funds becoming as mainstream and accessible as index funds, so busy entrepreneurs can give with the same rigor and joy they bring to investing. Don’t miss this one.
