About the show

Faith Based Conversations — The Intersection of Faith and Business For years, Faith-Based Business Podcast was built around one central idea: your faith and your business were never meant to operate separately. Now, that mission is entering a new chapter. Welcome to FaithBased Conversations with Pastor Bob Thibodeau — where meaningful conversations about faith, business, calling, leadership, entrepreneurship, ministry, and Kingdom impact come together. FaithBased Conversations builds on the foundation established through the Faith Based Business podcast while expanding the conversation beyond business alone. Pastor Bob brings more than 15 years of Christian broadcasting and podcasting experience to the program. Through Evangelism Radio and the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, he has spent years helping Christian leaders, authors, pastors, entrepreneurs, and believers share their stories and messages. Along the way, he has conducted more than 1,200 interviews. Now, those conversations are returning — with a new name, an expanded vision, and a new platform. FaithBased Conversations is now a lot more than an audio podcast. Selected interviews will also be produced for television and broadcast on JesusSaid.tv, giving guests the opportunity to share their stories through both podcasting AND streaming Christian television. Each conversation goes beyond simply asking, “What do you do?” We want to know, "Why do you do it? How has your faith influenced your decisions? What have your successes and failures taught you? How has God used your experiences to shape your calling? What does putting your faith into action look like on Monday morning? And how can what you’ve learned encourage someone facing similar challenges? Guests may include Christian entrepreneurs, business leaders, Christian authors, speakers, pastors, ministry leaders, coaches, and others with experiences and insights worth sharing. Some conversations will focus on business. Others may focus on ministry, leadership, personal transformation, overcoming adversity, answering God’s call, or discovering purpose. But every conversation comes back to the same foundation: Faith matters. We believe our Faith should influence how we live, lead, serve, and conduct our business. For longtime listeners of Faith Based Business Podcast, you’re still in the right place. Only the name has changed, but the foundation remains the same. We’re simply opening the door to a broader conversation and a larger audience. From our roots in Christian radio and podcasting to the opportunities now available through streaming television, our mission remains simple: TO GET THE WORD OUT! If God has given you experiences, insights, a business, a ministry, a book, or a message that could encourage and equip others, we’d love to hear your story. Welcome to FaithBased Conversations with Pastor Bob Thibodeau. The Intersection of Faith and Business. Listen through your favorite podcast platform and watch selected conversations on JesusSaid.tv, ROKU and soon, AppleTV and Amazon Fire TV! We continue to use every availble voice to GET THE WORD OUT because - HIS WORDS MATTER!

When Obedience Doesn't Look Like Success - Fatima Bey The MindShifter

WHEN OBEDIENCE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SUCCESS — Fatima Bey The Mindshifter Today’s guest is Fatima Bey, known as “The Mind Shifter,” a mindset coach, entrepreneur, and creator of the internationally recognized MindShift Power Podcast . Fatima launched her podcast for one simple reason: she believed God told her to do it. What began as an act of faith eventually reached an international audience and received recognition among the world’s best teen podcasts. But despite that recognition, the success she envisioned never quite materialized. Now, after three years, Fatima is closing that chapter of her life—and she’s discovered something remarkable. The greatest success wasn’t the audience she built or the recognition she received. It was the personal and professional transformation God accomplished within her along the way. In this inspiring conversation, Pastor Bob Thibodeau and Fatima explore what it really means to walk by faith, trust God’s timing, and recognize that obedience doesn’t always produce the results we expect. Takeaways: Faith requires action, not perfect understanding. Fatima shares how God revealed her assignment one step at a time and why waiting until everything makes sense can actually keep us from moving forward. Obedience doesn’t guarantee the success we envision. We discuss the challenges of remaining faithful when our efforts don’t produce the audience growth, financial rewards, or recognition we anticipated. Sometimes the greatest harvest happens within us. Fatima explains how three years of podcasting developed her interviewing abilities, communication skills, professional discipline, and business systems. God can use one assignment to prepare us for another. What began as a podcast became an unexpected training ground for Fatima’s future business opportunities and personal growth. Knowing when to stop can require as much faith as knowing when to start. We explore why ending a project doesn’t necessarily mean failure and how closing one chapter can prepare us for the next. Trust God’s purpose, even when you cannot see the bigger picture. Drawing from Romans 8:28 and the biblical example of Abraham, Fatima reminds us that obedience is rooted in trusting God’s love and His plans for our lives.

Sometimes God’s greatest work is happening in places you never thought to look. FaithBased Conversations — The Intersection of Faith and Business Hosted by Pastor Bob Thibodeau Real Stories.
