    From Striving to Surrender: Working With God, Not for Him with Nathaneal Vossler on Exploring the Marketplace (S:5 - Ep 29)

    Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson tackle a struggle many leaders, creatives, and believers quietly carry: striving for God instead of working with God. This episode features guest Nathaniel Vossler, former CFO turned founder of Rhema Now, an app designed to help believers engage in listening prayer, group intensives, and Spirit-led coaching. In early 2025, Nathaniel stepped away from the corporate world after sensing God’s clear call into a new season—building this platform alongside his wife while raising their growing family in Idaho. Together, Shawn, Bob, and Nathaniel get practical about: Moving from pressure to presenceSaying no to good things that aren’t God thingsCreating Spirit-led rhythms for your calendar and decisionsHearing God clearly in real business and life transitionsLetting go of ego, overcommitment, and burnoutBuilding sustainably with God, not just for HimShawn and Bob also share personal stories of burnout, overextension, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from learning to surrender control and trust God’s pace. This episode is an honest, hope-filled invitation to trade striving for peace—and rediscover what it looks like to walk in true partnership with the Holy Spirit. If you’re tired, driven, successful—but longing for peace—this conversation is for you. 📌 New episodes every Monday 📘 Learn how to hear God in your career: Wired to Hear 🌍 Join the global conversation where faith shapes culture 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement this season. 📌 Subscribe for weekly updates and prophetic insights from Shawn Bolz 📲 Follow us on social: @ShawnBolz 🎧 Available wherever you listen to podcasts Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mYTfBgjiH-I RSS: https://bit.ly/3Q0wnPo iTunes: http://apple.co/2A6QJRz Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/2L3dvRa Spotify: https://bit.ly/3U0ANGT Come join me on my Social Media: Facebook: Shawnbolz Twitter: ShawnBolz Instagram: ShawnBolz TikTok: ShawnBolz YouTube: ShawnBolzofficial YouTube: Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn and Bob Take a class or attend an event at our Spiritual Growth Academy: Our 4 week classes and monthly events are designed to do the heavy lifting in your spiritual growth journey.

    When Everything Says Quit: Faith, Pressure, and the Breaking Point with Steve Smithwick on Exploring the Marketplace (S:5 - Ep 28)

    Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson dive into a conversation every entrepreneur and business leader faces at some point: what do you do when you hit the wall and everything says quit? In this powerful episode, Shawn and Bob unpack the tension between calling, perseverance, and wisdom—sharing personal stories of long seasons, financial pressure, uncertainty, and learning when to push forward versus when to pivot. They explore how faith sustains leaders through cash-flow crises, industry volatility, and moments where giving up feels easier than pressing on. The conversation features a compelling testimony from Steve Smithwick, founder and president of MasterWall Incorporated. After losing his job with four young children at home, Steve stepped out in radical obedience to build a business from the ground up with minimal resources but deep conviction. Through years of financial hardship, near-collapse moments, and divine provision, Steve learned to rely on God’s timing, voice, and faithfulness. This episode covers: What it means to build a business when everything feels stacked against youHow perseverance and faith work together in real-world leadershipThe importance of mentors, community, and godly counselWhy “hard pressed” doesn’t mean finishedHow God often forges purpose through pressureIf you’re facing a wall in your career, business, or calling, this episode offers courage, clarity, and hope. You may feel like you’re failing—but you could actually be forging forward. 📌 New episodes every Monday 📘 Learn how to hear God in your career: Wired to Hear 🌍 Join the global conversation where faith shapes culture 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement this season. 📌 Subscribe for weekly updates and prophetic insights from Shawn Bolz 📲 Follow us on social: @ShawnBolz 🎧 Available wherever you listen to podcasts Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TaoOOcMpfHk RSS: https://bit.ly/3Q0wnPo iTunes: http://apple.co/2A6QJRz Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/2L3dvRa Spotify: https://bit.ly/3U0ANGT Come join me on my Social Media: Facebook: Shawnbolz Twitter: ShawnBolz Instagram: ShawnBolz TikTok: ShawnBolz YouTube: ShawnBolzofficial YouTube: Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn and Bob Take a class or attend an event at our Spiritual Growth Academy: Our 4 week classes and monthly events are designed to do the heavy lifting in your spiritual growth journey.
