The Guidelight
The Guidelight — Hosted by Jason Trent
The Guidelight is for leaders like you — business owners, presidents, and CEOs who’ve built something remarkable and are now asking, “What’s next?”
Hosted by Jason Trent, each episode dives beyond the spreadsheets to explore what truly matters when selling, scaling, or reshaping your company — your people, your purpose, and your next chapter.
You’ll hear real stories and expert insights from those who’ve stood where you are, uncovering how to protect what you’ve built while stepping confidently into the future with clarity and peace of mind.
If your company’s EBITDA is between $2 and $10 million, this is your space to gain perspective that goes far beyond the deal. Because your next chapter matters just as much as the one you’ve built.
🎧 Listen. Reflect. Lead with Light.

How to Find God’s Purpose Through Your Identity in Christ
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The life God calls you to build begins with who you are, not just what you do. In this episode of The Guidelight, I explain why purpose isn't found by filling your calendar or checking more boxes. It begins with your identity in Christ. When we focus on doing before being, we often run ahead of God. But when we remain close to Him, our work flows from a place of peace, purpose, and lasting impact.
I reflect on the difference between striving and surrender, drawing from Scripture and lessons that have continually brought me back to what matters most. I talk about what it means to be God's workmanship, why intimacy with Him shapes every assignment, and how the Holy Spirit guides us into the good works He has already prepared.
If you're feeling busy but unfulfilled, or successful but still searching for deeper meaning, this conversation will help you realign your heart before your hands.
Before you ask God what He wants you to do, ask Him who He is shaping you to become. Tune in to this episode.
Jason Trent is the host of The Guidelight Podcast and the founder of Guidelight Legacy Advisors. The Guidelight is a discipleship platform for the awake heart — the man or woman in any seat, at any income, in any season whose soul has started asking questions their circumstances can't answer. Jason walks listeners through the Seven Guidelight Pathways — Purpose, Identity, Inner Battle, Wisdom, Covenant, Stewardship, Legacy — toward wholeness: shalom, nothing missing.
He has lived on both sides of the fence — lack and abundance — and speaks to both without pandering to either. He lives with his wife Kellie and their youngest, Sadie, on a small homestead in Brevard, North Carolina. Acts 20:24 is the verse his life is built around.
Grace and peace.
