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
The Most Controversial Reason Christians Fail in Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most Christians don’t reject success because they lack ambition.
They reject it because they’re afraid success might pull them away from God.
Somewhere along the way, many believers absorbed the idea that struggling financially is more holy than prospering financially. That wanting growth, abundance, or wealth must mean you’re becoming worldly.
But is that actually biblical?
In this episode, Cody and Esther Cottle unpack one of the biggest tensions Christian entrepreneurs face: how do you build something meaningful, successful, and impactful… without letting money become your master?
👀 Does God want Christians to prosper?
💰 Is wealth a blessing, a danger, or both?
⚖️ Can ambition and contentment coexist?
🔥 Why do so many believers feel guilty about succeeding?
🏛️ What kind of legacy are you actually building?
They dive into misunderstood scriptures around money, the “camel through the eye of a needle,” prosperity gospel concerns, generational poverty, stewardship, generosity, and why many Christians unintentionally cap their own potential out of fear.
This conversation isn’t about chasing Ferraris or “manifesting” wealth.
It’s about building a healthy life, a healthy family, a healthy business — and becoming someone God can trust with greater responsibility and influence.
Because maybe the goal was never “getting rich.”
Maybe the goal was becoming capable of carrying more.
