Kingdom Leadership: Yoking Your Business to God, Breaking Mammon, and Telling Your Testimony

Nathan and Taylor Mansfield host The Remnant Podcast, teaching a distinctly Christian approach to business and leadership: desires must match actions, money isn’t evil but the spirit of mammon produces striving and emptiness, and believers must stop compartmentalizing faith from work by inviting God into every decision. Nathan shares how repentance from hustle led to “God math” favor while building 17 Christian gyms and a 708-person team in five months, including specific testimonies of praying for and receiving key leaders (a COO/operator, a marketing director, and a creative director who unexpectedly reached out after praying). Taylor adds that trying to fill roles outside her calling created tension until they asked God for solutions, then shares a conviction story about cleaning a rotted camper fridge as a picture of God purifying hidden pride and preparing them to steward their platform. She assigns homework to write and share a testimony (before God, turning point, and vision) and urges viewers to tell their story on social media with Jesus as the hero and the Holy Spirit as an active partner in business.

Can faith shape the way we build businesses, steward our bodies, and pursue healing?

In Episode 3 of The Remnant Podcast, Nathan and Taylor Mansfield sit down with Fort Worth chiropractors Dr. Tanner and Dr. Heather Rodriguez. The Rodriguezes share how they met in chiropractic school, built a practice together, and moved from being “Christian business owners” to building a faith-led business with God at the center.

The conversation explores what it looks like to invite God into everyday decisions, communicate life in healthcare, and stay discerning in a wellness culture full of competing voices. Drs. Rodriguez explain Zone Technique, share personal stories from their practice, and discuss their Christian perspective on yoga, reiki, spiritual authority, and prayer for healing.

In this episode: • Building a Kingdom-minded practice and business • Moving from self-reliance to surrender in leadership • Why words matter in the way we speak over our bodies and lives • Zone Technique, trauma, pain, and emotional release • Spiritual discernment in wellness and healthcare • A Christian perspective on yoga and reiki • A closing prayer for healing and restoration

“As iron sharpens iron…” — Proverbs 27:17

Can Christians defend life, stand with Israel, build successful businesses, and bring faith into politics without compromise?

In Episode 2 of The Remnant Podcast, Nathan and Taylor sit down with Taylor and Tommy Hardeman for an unfiltered conversation about radical transformation, adoption, Christian entrepreneurship, the White House, the pro-life movement, and standing with Israel.

Tommy owns three McDonald’s restaurants and leads an organization of nearly 400 employees. But this episode goes far beyond business success. Taylor shares her vulnerable testimony of walking through severe postpartum despair, substance abuse, and a marriage in crisis. After crying out to God in 2020, she experienced a radical spiritual transformation that changed their marriage, family, church life, and leadership.

Taylor and Tommy also tell the deeply personal story of adopting their son, Levi. What began with an unexpected vision led them through years of waiting, the heartbreak of a failed adoption, and a renewed decision to obey God. After experiencing the enormous financial cost of adoption firsthand, they began developing the Levi Fund—a nonprofit with the vision of helping families overcome the financial barriers to adoption.

For Taylor, defending life is personal. Her mother became pregnant at 18 and was encouraged to have an abortion, but she chose life. Today, Taylor is using her voice to challenge Christians to move beyond pro-life slogans and become part of the solution through prayer, generosity, practical support, foster care, and adoption.

The Hardemans also share what happened during their recent trip to Washington, D.C. They describe worshiping and praying with Christian leaders at the White House and hearing how faith is influencing public service. They also recount viewing footage documenting the October 7 attacks—an experience that confronted them with the reality of antisemitism and strengthened their conviction that Christians must stand with Israel and the Jewish people.

This conversation is an invitation to courageous Christianity. Following Jesus cannot be confined to Sunday. It must shape how we build families, lead employees, steward money, enter the public square, defend vulnerable children, confront evil, and respond when biblical conviction becomes costly.

“As iron sharpens iron…” — Proverbs 27:17

Nathan and Taylor Mansfield sat on one word for over a year: Remnant. This is the show for the reformers: the believers who refuse to bow to culture and want to carry the Kingdom into their industry — fitness, business, media, education, politics — wherever they've been assigned.

What happens when God begins breaking the things you were never meant to carry in your own strength?

In the first episode of The Remnant Podcast, Nathan and Taylor Mansfield share the story behind a season when everything seemed to fall apart. Their physical gym was ending, relationships were changing, and even bowls and tables throughout their home began breaking. What first looked like chaos became a deeper invitation to surrender.

This conversation explores the difference between placing Christian language on a business and genuinely bringing your work, ambition, marriage, and calling under the lordship of Jesus. Nathan and Taylor speak honestly about striving, burnout, repentance, isolation, obedience, and the painful process of allowing God to redefine success.

The breaking was not the end. It was the oil press. What felt like loss became preparation for a larger assignment—and the beginning of a movement created to forge reformers in every industry.

If you feel like your plans are breaking, your capacity is being tested, or God is calling you into deeper surrender, this episode is for you.

Sometimes God must break what was built in our strength before He can entrust us with what can only be carried by His Spirit.
