What happens when you surrender your plans and truly let God lead the vision? In this episode of The Founder Collective, we dive into a raw, faith-filled conversation about embracing spiritual obedience over entrepreneurial ambition.

You’ll hear how guest co-host Michael navigated a season of wilderness after success, why God’s pruning is often a setup for something greater, and how trust—not hustle—is the real strategy in Kingdom leadership.

Whether you're in a season of waiting, pivoting, or pressing forward, this conversation will encourage you to walk by faith, not just strategy.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What it looks like to surrender your business vision to God

• The difference between worldly success and Kingdom assignment

• Signs you’re being pruned—not punished

• How to trust God when you’re in the “messy middle”

• Why resting in your identity is more important than chasing clarity

• The power of community in discerning your next step
  

This isn’t your average business podcast—it’s a reminder that when God builds it, He sustains it. Tune in for Spirit-led strategy, authentic encouragement, and the permission to slow down and trust.

With powerful stories of redemption, obedience, and calling, this gathering will encourage you to stop performing and start building from a place of purpose.

• How to anchor your business decisions in faith, not just strategy

• The challenge of replacing hustle culture with Holy Spirit guidance

• How God can use your testimony in unexpected places (even on social media)

• Why accountability and presence matter in leadership and family

• Encouragement for those navigating burnout, transitions, or self-doubt
