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 Hidden Cost of Building a Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Everyone talks about building the business. Almost nobody talks about what it costs to carry a vision the people closest to you cannot see — at the dinner table, in your marriage, and in the pew on Sunday morning.
Cody and Esther on why the people who love you most still won't understand what God called you to, why that was never the betrayal it felt like, and what Scripture says isolation quietly does to your judgement. Plus the honest part: how you actually go and build the room you need.
