About the show

Welcome to the Faithustle podcast, where we help young christians learn how to build their business and careers God’s way. We have a problem in the church where those who have an entrepreneurial gift do not have healthy inspirations and role models of how to be successful and not lose your soul. Our desire with the Faithustle Podcast is to give encourage, inspire and equip you with examples of real life successful business owners who love the Lord and have healthy relationships. We teach from 5 pillars that we believe are the foundation of how to build well. Being Spirit Led, having Integrity, A having a heart of Stewardship, a posture of Humility and a responsibility to Generosity. If this describes you and you want to grow with a tribe of people who are just like you in their early stages of entrepreneurship, subscribe to the podcast and YouTube channel and tell a friend about it. We’re excited to go on this journey with you.
