91 - Why Obedience Beats Strategy in Business with Ken Joslin

Do you want to be significant…or successful? In this episode of Liberty Spenders, Kurt and Kristen sit down with Ken Joslin, former pastor turned entrepreneur and founder of Grow Stack Drive, to unpack one of the most defining questions in leadership, business, and entrepreneurship. Ken shares the conversation that reshaped his life, why identity must come before income, and how faith-based entrepreneurs can build companies that scale without sacrificing values, culture, or integrity. They explore what it looks like to lead with obedience over outcomes, steward resources wisely, and make strategic decisions rooted in faith rather than hustle. From leadership development and community to growth, generosity, and slowing down to hear God, this episode reminds leaders that vision is revealed in stillness before it’s built through strategy. 0:00 Intro 02:06 Identity Before Income 06:35 Why Success Makes a Terrible Master 10:50 Obedience and Building God’s Business 13:48 Hearing God as a Leader 20:24 The CREATE Conference 27:56 Your Free Conference Ticket 30:15 Wealth, Stewardship, and the Kingdom 39:10 Lightning Round42:11 Why Entrepreneurs Need CREATE Resources Mentioned: CREATE Conference January 28-30 in Atlanta, GAhttps://growstackdrive.com/create📢 Use code LIBERTY for a free ticket to the event!
