    88. How to Discern Truth from Lies: Biblical Identity for Christian Leaders with Charles Hall
    Apr 6 2026

    Do you know who you are when the pressure's on? When the lie feels more real than the truth? When you're leading but don't feel worthy of the role?

    Charles Hall is a blue-collar worker by day and an identity-based leadership coach by night.

    He's walked through trauma, overcome lies about his own worth, and discovered that the best leaders don't just learn skills—they know who they are in Christ. Now he's helping other leaders do the same.

    Join us as Charles shares how to discern truth from lies through pattern recognition, why leadership is about giving power away instead of hoarding it, and what it means to lead from identity clarity instead of confusion.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    Know who you are in Christ before you try to lead anyone else. A darkened heart has a darkened perception. But when we align ourselves with God's truth—not our performance, not people's approval—we can serve, love, and lead with humility.

    Leadership isn't about being impressive. It's about being aligned with God. Influence is not the goal; it's the outcome of being who God calls us to be.


    One challenge from today:

    Ask yourself: Where am I leading from identity confusion instead of clarity? Where do I not know in my heart what God says about me—personally, tangibly, not just intellectually? Spend time with Him this week to get that answer.

  • 87. Warning Signs of Spiritual Manipulation: How I Escaped a Cult with Peter Young

    87. Warning Signs of Spiritual Manipulation: How I Escaped a Cult with Peter Young
    Mar 30 2026
    Can you recognize the warning signs when someone you love is being spiritually manipulated?Today's conversation with Peter Young, real estate professional and author, is a sobering reminder that spiritual deception can happen to anyone—even lifelong Christians.Peter grew up in a strong Christian home, accepted Christ, was baptized, and read his Bible cover to cover multiple times. Then he married a woman who brought a "family guru" named Uncle Robert into their marriage—a man who would control their lives for the next 20 years.Uncle Robert taught that casinos were the true churches. He convinced Peter's wife she wasn't saved until he pointed it out. He told Peter's father-in-law he was on par with a cockroach. Slowly, like a frog in boiling water, Peter found himself brainwashed for two years.The turning point came when his wife left and Uncle Robert told their five children that Peter was just a "sperm donor and bloodline"—not a real father. That's when the lies started to crack. It took a full year for Peter to realize it wasn't his fault and he wasn't crazy.Peter learned three critical lessons: First, a strong Christian marriage needs Christ at the center—not a parent, priest, or guru. Second, isolation from the body of Christ makes you vulnerable to false teachers. Third, salvation comes before sanctification—anyone switching that order is acting as a gatekeeper to God.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Be honest—period. You're either honest or you're not. Truth doesn't mind being questioned.Stay connected to the body of Christ. Isolation makes you vulnerable. Fellowship and accountability protect you from deception.One challenge from today:If someone you love is headed down a dangerous road—whether a cult or spiritual deception—don't shy away from the hard conversation. Be loving, be kind, but be bold. They don't know they're in trouble. You see it, but they don't.More About Peter YoungWebsite: https://www.authorpeteryoung.com/Book: Stop the Tall Man, Save the LionMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

  • 86. Biblical Business Principles: Stewardship, Surrender, and Success with Karl Diffenderfer

    86. Biblical Business Principles: Stewardship, Surrender, and Success with Karl Diffenderfer
    Mar 23 2026
    Is Jesus really the CEO of your business—or just in name only?Today's conversation with Karl Diffenderfer, coach for coaches and author, challenges us to move beyond the label and into the reality of surrendering our business to God.Karl started a marketing company at 24 and sold it at 32. During those years, clients came in to talk about logos but ended up sharing the deepest parts of their hearts. He realized God had given him a gift for discernment, so he became a coach. He's now done over 10,000 coaching sessions.His biggest lesson? He was burning out doing everything God told him to do—until God showed him a picture. Karl was pushing ahead, trying to drag God along in the yoke instead of going at God's pace. God gave him four statements that changed everything: Slow down. Go at my pace. Do what I say. Trust me.Karl learned that success isn't about revenue or impact—it starts in his relationship with the Lord. Spending time in God's Word each day became his true success criteria. Everything else flows from that.The challenge: We can't educate people beyond their level of obedience. If you're not sowing time into client acquisition, you won't reap clients. God's principles apply to everything.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Slow down enough to hear God's voice. Five practices create space: time in the Word, worship, prayer, journaling, and the body of believers. Your job isn't productivity—it's diligence. Results belong to God.Walk in humility, not pride. Surrender isn't something you can work on—you have to lay it at His feet and let Him be in charge.One challenge from today:Are you spending time in God's Word every day? Don't read it to become a better Christian—read it to know Him better. The Word is the only book where the Author shows up and changes you just by being there.More About Karl DiffenderferWebsite: www.HigherImpact.meTurnkeycoachingsystem.comMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:Leadership GPS: Christian Business CoachingAre you looking to integrate your faith and business but don't know where to start, book a time to discover if Christian business coaching and training might be right for you.

  • 85. Building a Leadership Pipeline: Biblical Principles for Christian Entrepreneurs with Josh Williams

    85. Building a Leadership Pipeline: Biblical Principles for Christian Entrepreneurs with Josh Williams
    Mar 16 2026

    Are you overlooking the leader right in front of you?

    Joshua Williams has spent 16 years in youth ministry watching problematic teenagers become faithful leaders a decade later. His approach? Don't look for the most talented—look for availability and willingness.

    One student crossed so many lines that Joshua had to pull him from youth group for three months. But he didn't stop investing. He kept meeting with him, kept pouring into him. Today, that "problematic" student is thriving in his walk with God and raising up leaders himself.

    The lesson applies to your business: Sometimes the person who annoys you most is exactly opposite your personality—which means they bring something valuable you're missing. Don't surround yourself with carbon copies. Look for puzzle pieces with different strengths.

    Joshua learned the hard way that you can't carry weight God didn't give you. Do what God called you to do, then trust Him with the rest. If you've been faithful and it doesn't succeed by the world's standards, you've still succeeded in God's eyes.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    1. God has entrusted people to you. Your job isn't to dominate but to love them first and raise them up as an example of Christ.
    2. Don't expect perfection before investing. Coach emerging leaders through their struggles rather than only promoting the "safe" choices.


    One challenge from today:

    1. Is there someone you've written off because they're difficult? Maybe God put them there for you to pour into. Plant that seed. You might be surprised what grows.

  • 84. How to Develop a Biblical Mindset in Business | Neuroplasticity and Faith with Deanna Becket

    84. How to Develop a Biblical Mindset in Business | Neuroplasticity and Faith with Deanna Becket
    Mar 9 2026
    Can your brain actually be rewired from negative to positive?Today's conversation with Deanna Beckett, author and speaker, tackles the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape everything we do in business.Deanna spent years dragging bitterness and guilt into her work and relationships. Through Bible study and daily thought-resetting, she learned something critical: What goes in comes out. Garbage in, garbage out.She talks about neuroplasticity: How our brains can be rewired from dead, gnarly branches into something healthy and growing. But you can't just remove a bad habit and leave a hole. You have to replace it with something good.The workplace reality? More than half of conversations at work are probably negative. That doesn't just waste time—it attracts more negativity and keeps you stuck.Deanna's daily practice: She rewrites Bible verses in first person and speaks them out loud. "He gives me the ability to produce wealth." Instead of scrolling social media and feeling anxiety creep up, she shuts it off and tackles what she's been avoiding.One shift that changes everything: Replace "I have to" with "I get to." Add "yet" to complaints. "I'm not where I want to be... yet."Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Control what you can control—your attitude and your response. You can't control other people's reactions or circumstances, but you can choose grace when someone's having a rough day.Chase peace intentionally. Redirect negative conversations at work or remove yourself from them entirely.One challenge from today:Shift two words tomorrow morning. Instead of "I have to go to work," say "I get to go to work." Pay attention to how that small change affects your whole day. Everybody's fighting a battle you know nothing about—be gracious.More About Deanna Becketwww.deannabecket.comwww.shockingyourshtick.comMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.

  • 83. How I Crashed My Business and Found God's Purpose | Entrepreneurial Story with David Schmidt

    83. How I Crashed My Business and Found God's Purpose | Entrepreneurial Story with David Schmidt
    Mar 2 2026

    Have you ever felt like an imposter in your own business?

    I refinanced my house and bought into a coaching franchise in 2021, convinced the systems would carry me to success. Within a month, I knew I'd made a mistake.

    I wasn't the expert in business they thought I was. I had an inferiority mindset. And I was trying to operate the franchise's version of who I was supposed to be instead of being authentic to how God made me.

    For six months, I watched myself crash. As an analytical engineer, I knew I was failing but didn't know how to stop it. The depression was crushing—until June 30th, 2022. That's the day I quit, and it became the best day of my life.

    God's grace kept me going with clients I didn't deserve while I worked a W-2 job. He gave me a coach whose personality actually complemented mine. And He convicted me with a question I'd been asking my own kids: Your success is directly correlated with your relationship with God—so why doesn't your coaching content reflect that?

    That question changed everything. I stopped trying to help businesses chase bigger profits and started focusing on what I'm passionate about—helping Christian business owners operate God's way through Leadership GPS: God first, Purpose, then Service.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    1. Be authentic to who God created you to be. When you try to operate someone else's version of your business, you'll crash. There's room for you exactly as you are.
    2. Get the right coach—one who aligns with your beliefs and complements your personality. In coaching, personality matters.


    One challenge from today:

    1. Ask yourself: Am I doing business God's way, or am I conforming to the world's philosophy? We've been stained by the world's patterns for so long we think they're normal. What needs to change?

    82. How to Connect With Your Kids When You've Been Too Busy With Work with Lori Beard
    Feb 23 2026

    Many business leaders have work figured out but come home and sit on the sidelines while their kids do their own thing. If you've realized you need to spend more time with your kids but don't know where to start, this is for you.

    Lori Beard is a life coach, podcast host, and mother of eight celebrating 32 years of marriage. She shares practical ways to break through when your kids are busy with their own lives, why humility bridges connection, and how service projects carve lasting values into hearts.

    The truth: Relationships are the only thing you'll take with you. Not money, houses, or business success.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    Value relationships over revenue. Practice active listening—listen to learn, not to judge. Ask your kids: "How can I be a better dad? What makes my questions feel like interrogation?"


    One Challenge from Today:

    It's never too late for humility. Own up to your mistakes with your children and tell them, "I'm sorry I did this." Then ask for their help as you course correct. Start with one walk-and-talk, one service project, or one book read together.

    81. How to Build Trust in Business: The 4 Habits of Referability with James MacNeil
    Feb 16 2026
    The Four Referability Habits: Build Trust That Grows Your BusinessSadly, Christians aren't always known as the best employees or business partners. If we're followers of Jesus, we're called to show our light through good work—and it's simpler than you think.James MacNeil has built three seven-figure businesses on one principle: "no surprise, but good surprise"—always delivering more than promised. He shares four referability habits from Dan Sullivan that transform how people perceive your business.The tragic truth? James says he'd be $10 million ahead if he hadn't done business with Christians who failed to keep their word.The Four Habits: Show up on timeDo what you say you're going to doFinish what you startSay please and thank you. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?The first promise you make is 100% evidence that you're either completely trustworthy or completely untrustworthy. Make and keep commitments—it's the fastest path to building trust and flourishing relationships.Remember: the business of business is to profitably solve problems. We profit when we deserve it, and deserve means "from service." If you're not earning enough, you're likely not serving enough.One Challenge from Today:Make as few promises as possible and keep them all. Before you say yes, count the cost. Every yes is a no to something else.
