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.
The Christian Entrepreneur
From Drug Dealer to Christian CEO: The Calling Was Always There
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, or whether the gifts you've been using in the wrong arena can still be used by God, this episode is for you.
This is the raw, never-before-shared story of how God redeemed a drug dealer's gifts — the supply-chain instincts, the team-building, the relentless drive — and put them to work doing business God's way. The 3:33am dream. The Mercedes he had to sell. The sister's basement where he started over with nothing and surrendered everything to Jesus.
