In this episode of the Faithly Stories podcast, host Adam Durso is joined by guest Rev. Elliott Johnson—a dynamic leader, innovator, and workplace minister whose life exemplifies what it means to be a “Kingdompreneur.”

Raised on Chicago’s South Side and educated at Howard University, Rev. Johnson has spent decades bridging the worlds of business, public service, and faith. From advising U.S. presidents and Chicago mayors to serving as Chairman of the Board for the YMCA and United Way in the Midwest, his leadership has left a lasting impact on various communities and institutions alike.

Rev. Johnson shares how every season of his career—from executive roles at Miller and Coors to his decision to attend seminary at age 60—was preparation for God’s call to integrate faith into every sphere of influence. Drawing on Deuteronomy 8:18, he unpacks the vision of kingdom entrepreneurship: stewarding your gifts to serve others and honor God’s purposes in the marketplace.
