In Episode 74, host Sid Bensalah talks with Bishop Kevin Foreman, founder of Harvest Church and a strong voice in faith-based leadership, civic innovation, and whole-person coaching. Broadcasting from Sweden to the world, this conversation explores how grit, faith, and performance shape lives and communities.
Bishop Kevin shares his journey from modest beginnings, explaining how business setbacks led to a breakthrough in his ministry, and how sports coaching principles influenced his leadership style. From creating a digital-first church community to shaping public policy in Denver, his story combines purpose, resilience, and modern leadership grounded in core values.
We examine the link between spiritual growth and physical transformation, the importance of responsible digital platform use, and how faith leaders can empower marginalized communities while navigating political and civic spaces.
