Mike Thakur: Do Business God’s Way and Change the World

Generous Business Owner

How are you using your business as a vehicle for Kingdom impact?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Mike discuss:

• Successfully bridging the worlds between tech, business, and faith.
• Building the Kingdom and a burned-down mansion.
• Having a faith walk that includes God in your business.
• Returning to the true and important messages in the world of the wrong messages on social media.

Key Takeaways:

• Follow the favor. Where do you see success in your life? Serve God and His Kingdom there.
• The primary way that God designed impact in the world was not through organized religion but through business and entrepreneurship.
• The call to ministry does not need to be within the four walls of a church or in a non-profit organization.
• Our activities are the outward, visible proof of our faith in Jesus.

"If you can get to a place where you see the business as a vehicle for Kingdom impact, and then allow the business to be used for Kingdom impact, which means you're going to make less money because Jesus is going to make more, what actually happens is that's when you live your best life." — Mike Thakur
