    How to Work With God Without Becoming Overwhelmed

    How can busy entrepreneurs and leaders make space for people, their responsibilities—and God—without becoming overwhelmed? In this episode, Gea Gort continues her conversation with entrepreneur Bill Job about working with God rather than carrying every responsibility alone. Bill shares how he seeks God’s guidance not only about what to do, but also how to do it. Drawing from the example of Jesus, they explore what it means to do what should be done—without trying to do everything that could be done. They discuss intuition, daily decisions, other people’s expectations, joy in ordinary tasks, and the importance of investing in our relationship with God through worship. Bill also speaks honestly about setbacks, spiritual battles and seasons when a business does not seem to flourish. He closes with an encouraging update about a vertical farming project in China that appeared to have failed—but is now unexpectedly gaining new momentum. A practical and honest conversation for entrepreneurs and professionals who want to experience greater freedom, joy and dependence on God in their everyday work. Would you like to integrate your faith more deeply with your business?

    God's Business Metric Isn't Profit—It's People | Bill Job

    What if the most important business metric isn't profit—but people? After returning to China recently, Bill Job experienced a profound shift in how he sees leadership. Instead of focusing primarily on financial performance, God reminded him that He is interested first and foremost in people. In this deeply practical conversation, Bill shares how God led him back into active leadership of his manufacturing company, where he began learning the names and stories of more than 70 employees. Rather than measuring success only by financial results, Bill explores what it means to steward a business that belongs to God and to create eternal value in the workplace. This episode is full of practical insights for business leaders, entrepreneurs, managers, and anyone who wants to integrate faith into everyday work. In this episode you'll discover: Why Bill returned to lead his company in ChinaWhat it means when God is the true Owner of your businessWhy people—not profit—are God's primary metricThe surprising power of learning employees' namesHow God's presence changes workplace leadershipCreating eternal value through ordinary businessPractical ways to "see" people as God sees themIf this conversation encouraged you, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who wants to integrate faith and work. 👉 Learn more about the 10-week training Kingdom Mindsets for Business: https://bammoves.com Chapters 00:00 Introduction01:15 Why Bill's joy meter was a 10 after returning to China03:20 Returning to lead the company again06:00 What if God owns the business?10:15 God's business metric: people before profit15:30 "I want to be among the people"18:45 Learning the names of 70 employees22:30 The power of making people feel seen27:00 Practical examples from the factory floor33:00 Leading with God's presence instead of pressure38:00 Does this require great management?42:30 Creating eternal value through business46:00 Final encouragement for business leaders#BusinessAsMission #FaithAndWork #KingdomBusiness #ChristianLeadership #KingdomEntrepreneur #Leadership #BusinessLeadership #WorkplaceMinistry #Entrepreneurship #BillJob #KingdomMindsets #BusinessForGod #ChristianBusiness #PurposeDrivenBusiness #BAMMoves

    Business as Worship: A Blueprint for City Transformation

    What if business could become an act of worship—and a catalyst for transforming an entire city? In this inspiring conversation, Paul Unsworth shares the bigger vision that emerged from Kahaila, the coffee shop and social enterprise movement he started in the heart of East London. Drawing from the rich history of London’s ancient guilds and "Worshipful Companies," Paul explores how business leaders, churches, and communities can work together to address social challenges, create opportunities, and seek the flourishing of their cities. Together with Bill Job and Gea Gort, Paul reflects on God's heart for cities, the role of business in social transformation, and why worship is far more than something we do on Sundays. What if your company, organization, or daily work became an expression of worship to God? This conversation will challenge and inspire entrepreneurs, church leaders, and anyone who longs to see faith make a tangible impact in society. The next cohort Kingdom Mindsets for Business starts Wednesday September 23rd. You are invited to join this 10-week online program, which includes six biweekly sessions with Bill and Gea.

    What If Church Looked More Like a Coffee Shop?

    What happens when a church starts looking more like a coffee shop than a Sunday service? In this episode of Kingdom Keys for Business, Life and Work, Gea Gort and Bill Job talk with Paul Unsworth, founder of Kahaila, a thriving café and community in East London that has become a powerful example of Business as Mission in action. As a Baptist pastor, Paul became convinced that many people would never walk into a church building—but they would walk into a coffee shop. That conviction led him to create a space where people could belong before they believed, where faith could be discovered through relationships, hospitality, and practical love. What started as a café on Brick Lane grew into initiatives helping women leave sex work, supporting survivors of human trafficking, creating employment opportunities, and launching new businesses that continue to transform lives. Paul also shares honestly about the challenges: growing too fast, navigating organizational tensions, surviving COVID, and learning to trust God's voice through seasons of pruning and uncertainty. This conversation is a powerful encouragement for anyone sensing God's invitation to step out in faith, even when they feel unqualified. Paul: "My main gift isn't entrepreneurship. My main gift is faith."  The next cohort Kingdom Mindsets for Business starts Wednesday September 23rd. You are invited to join this 10-week online program, which includes six biweekly sessions with Bill and Gea. Due to the smaller group setting, space is limited.  In this episode: Why Paul skipped church to explore London's streetsCreating belonging before beliefStarting a café as a form of churchHow business became a platform for missionSupporting women leaving sex work and survivors of traffickingLessons from rapid growth and painful pruningHearing God's voice in difficult seasonsWhy faith matters more than expertiseHow God provides what we need when we step out in obedience#BusinessAsMission #BAM #KingdomBusiness #FaithAtWork #Kahaila #PaulUnsworth #BillJob #GeaGort #KingdomKeys

    What if the Church is suffering from “Spiritual ALS”?

    In this thought-provoking episode, Bill Job explores a powerful metaphor: just as ALS disconnects the brain from the body, many believers live disconnected from the Head — Jesus Himself. Bill shares why hearing God’s voice is not reserved for a spiritual elite, but is meant to be a normal part of everyday life. From practical stories about daily decisions to deeper reflections on identity, shame, joy, and intimacy with God, this conversation challenges religious mindsets and invites listeners into a more relational walk with Jesus. Together, Bill and Gea discuss: What “Spiritual ALS” means for the ChurchWhy many believers struggle to hear God’s voiceThe difference between conviction and condemnationHow church culture and shame can block intimacy with GodLearning to recognize God’s “accent”Living with joy in ordinary daily lifeWhy following Jesus should feel more relational than religiousThis episode is both deeply practical and spiritually refreshing — especially for anyone longing to experience a closer, more natural relationship with God. 📌 In the next episode, Bill will discuss what happens when we think we heard God… but things turn out differently than expected. 👉 Subscribe for more conversations on hearing God, Kingdom living, business, life, and faith. #HearingGod #KingdomLiving #ChristianPodcast #BillJob #FaithAndWork #IntimacyWithGod #SpiritualGrowth #KingdomKeys

    More Than Food: Why Kids Need Play to Thrive

    What if play isn’t a luxury—but a key to a child’s future? In this episode, Bill Job and I sit down with Ferdi van den Bergh to explore a different side of his journey—far beyond business in the Netherlands. This time, we dive into his heart for children in Uganda and the story behind Tjeko, a growing social enterprise creating spaces where kids can simply be kids. Ferdi shares how a simple moment—watching children peeking through a fence at others playing—sparked a vision: What if every child had access to joy, creativity, and play? From that moment, Tjeko was born. What started as a personal desire to create something for his own daughter has grown into a mission reaching thousands of children—combining business and ministry in a sustainable way. This conversation is about more than playgrounds. It’s about: Seeing the gold in people. Building something that is both social and profitableChoosing joy—even in difficult seasonsAnd discovering how God can use your natural talents for a bigger purpose💡 Key takeaway: You don’t have to separate business and mission. Sometimes, the most powerful impact starts with simply noticing what’s missing—and responding. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on faith, business, and impact.

    The Gold in Your Team | Ferdi van den Bergh

Ferdi shares insights from his upcoming book 'Goud in Handen' (Gold in Hands) and his work with businesses across the Netherlands. Together, with Bill Job, Gea Gort, we unpack what it really means to “see” people—not just for what they do, but for who they are and what they carry. This conversation goes beyond theory.
