We’re bringing this episode back because this conversation feels more relevant than ever. So many entrepreneurs are still wrestling with the same tension: their business looks successful on paper, but something is missing in their soul. When profit becomes the only scoreboard, even a “winning” business can feel empty.

In this replay, first released in April 2025, we revisit how your business can become far more than a money-making machine. What if it could function as a calling, a mission field, and a platform for Kingdom impact? We challenge the false divide between “faith life” and “work life” and explore what it looks like to lead with a faith-forward mindset in every decision you make.

We discuss practical, real-world examples of integrating faith into leadership—such as choosing integrity over financial shortcuts, setting goals that honor God and drive results, and being willing to say no to opportunities that would compromise your witness. You’ll hear stories, including turning down tax advantages that didn’t align with our convictions, and how those “small” decisions shape the long-term character of a business.

We also unpack how to seek God’s direction in your business without getting stuck in fear of “missing His will.” Through prayer, scripture, and wise counsel, we describe a framework for moving at a “grace pace”—walking in freedom and responsibility inside the boundaries He’s already made clear.

Most importantly, we reframe business challenges as spiritual training grounds rather than unfair burdens. When you see obstacles as part of God’s refining work, you can endure hardship with more peace, purpose, and confidence that He’s doing something deeper than what you can see right now.

If you’re hungry for more than material success and want your leadership to reflect what you believe, this episode is a timely reminder that faith and business were never meant to be separated.

Key Takeaways:

• What a business rooted in faith actually looks like in practice.
• How to intentionally integrate faith into everyday business decisions.
• Why aligning business goals with God’s plan matters for more than just profit.
• How to lead with integrity, even when it costs you.
• How to use faith as your leadership compass in seasons of clarity and confusion.

What if real strength isn’t what you lift but how you live? We sit down with legendary coach Mike Boyle to rethink training, leadership, and legacy through a simple lens: show up, serve people, and build habits you can sustain for decades. Mike shares why most men chase aesthetics and numbers that don’t translate to life, and how functional strength keeps you capable—hauling wood, climbing stairs, playing with grandkids, and getting off the floor with ease. He breaks down the essentials for men over 40: avoid joint pain, use unilateral work to protect balance, push sleds and carry loads, and measure progress by how you feel getting out of bed.

Beyond the gym, Mike opens up about mistakes, counseling, and the cost of being absent at home. His leadership playbook is plain and powerful: hire people who like people, build a client-first culture, and remember that a good coach with a simple plan beats a great plan with a mediocre coach. We talk presence over ego, how to create teams that greet and care, and why some high-profile relationships are transactional—and why that’s okay when your real life is built locally with people who matter.

You’ll also hear the daily practices that keep Mike sharp: early mornings, a one-sentence gratitude journal, short naps for recovery, consistent reading, and 20 minutes of intentional thoughtfulness to check in with others with no ask attached. Walk away with one challenge: choose a single functional rep for the part of your life that’s slipped—body, marriage, or mission—and repeat it daily.
