Welcome
The Marketplace Discipleship Project
Business isn’t separate from your faith - it’s one of the greatest places to live it out.
At The Marketplace Discipleship Project, we believe every employee managed, every customer served, and every decision made is a chance to glorify Christ. This blog equips Christian business owners and leaders to see their workplace as a mission field, where leadership becomes ministry and management becomes discipleship.
Here you’ll find:
-
Biblical wisdom for leading employees with integrity and compassion.
-
Practical tools for stewarding money, people, and time God’s way.
-
Interviews with leaders and managers from all types of businesses and organizations, sharing how they integrate faith with their work.
-
Encouragement for balancing business success with Kingdom purpose.
-
Inspiration to see your company not just as a business, but as a calling.
-
Resources available for download coming soon - devotional guides, Bible study materials, and tools to help you and your employees grow in faith together.
Because when you lead like Christ, your influence doesn’t stop at the balance sheet - it ripples into eternity.

Through The Marketplace Discipleship Project, I am committed to sharing meaningful content that connects the Christian faith with everyday work life. My desire is to equip business and organization leaders with tools and inspiration to lead and serve in ways that reflect Christ’s love and purpose, ultimately fulfilling our shared calling to live as disciples of God.
With more than 20 years of experience serving small businesses and organizations, I’ve walked alongside owners, leaders, and employees through the practical and spiritual challenges of work life. My background in business, coupled with my exposure to ministry leaders, has given me a unique perspective on how faith and leadership intersect. More than credentials, though, my deepest qualification is my love for God and my desire to see His people live out their calling faithfully - not just on Sundays, but in every decision, workplace, and relationship.
Thank you for joining me as we grow, learn, and seek to glorify God together in the marketplace. My prayer is that this space encourages and equips us to discover how leadership, business, and daily work can truly become discipleship.
