Ep. 131: Building Frameworks, Creating Tables, and Finding Rest: A Faith-Driven Conversation for Entrepreneurs

In this episode of The Founder Collective Podcast, we unpack what it really means to lead, build, and serve from a place of faith. From navigating difficult conversations with grace, to creating tables of belonging for the next generation, to developing God-given frameworks that clarify your calling—this discussion is rich with wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and kingdom builders.

You’ll hear stories of transformation from live events, reflections on technology and faith, and a powerful reminder that rest is not wasted time but fertile ground for God’s best work. If you’re a founder, leader, or creative who longs to integrate faith with impact, this episode will inspire you to walk boldly in your calling while making room for rest and renewal.
