The Christian Entrepreneur
Hosted by serial entrepreneurs Cody and Esther Cottle, the Christian Entrepreneur Podcast exists for believers who hunger for a move of God in the marketplace.
After building 10 companies and walking through both success and painful failures, God called them to shut down their multi-six-figure business in 2024 — and out of that obedience, the Christian Entrepreneur Club was born and has grown into a global community of 600+ members.
This podcast is an extension of our mission to equip entrepreneurs with a biblical framework to do business God's way. Each episode delivers proven business strategies, biblical principles, and conversations with top Christian thought leaders to equip you to do business God's way.
Subscribe now and join a global family of Christian entrepreneurs committed to bringing revival to the marketplace.

Why We Gave Up Our Multi 6-Figure Business & What Alex Hormozi Got Wrong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Cody and Esther share the story behind shutting down their marketing agency at its peak — not because it failed, but because God asked them to lay it down.
This isn’t a conversation about strategy.
It’s about alignment.
🔍 In This Episode
- What it actually feels like when God starts disrupting something that’s “working”
- The difference between building something for God… and building something with Him
- Why hustle culture often produces results — but not fruit
- The hidden cost of tying your identity to output
- How to recognise when grace has lifted from what you’re building
- When persistence becomes disobedience
⚖️ The Tension
Most business advice sounds like this:
- Work harder.
- Stay consistent.
- Never quit.
But Scripture shows a different pattern.
Sometimes obedience doesn’t look like pushing through…
It looks like letting go.
🧠 If You’re Building Something…
This episode will challenge you to ask:
- Is this coming from God — or just working?
- Am I being led — or just driven?
- Am I building something successful… or something aligned?
