    From Homeless to Purpose with Chris Taylor

    In 2018, Christopher Taylor was homeless, living in a former chicken coop, and searching for spiritual answers in New Age beliefs. Then he stopped to listen to someone talking about Jesus, and his life began to change. Christopher joins Rev. Lyle on the Christian Business Growth Podcast to share how faith led him into eBay sales, an estate sale business, and FlowLister, software he created to help sellers work more effectively. He also talks about Tools for Teens, a nonprofit helping young people connect their passions with training, mentorship, and meaningful career paths. After a serious illness, Christopher says he felt called to take both ventures seriously. In this conversation, he and Lyle discuss building consistent habits, keeping your word, researching your competition, focusing your energy, and seeking God's direction in business.

    Building a Culture That Cares with Greg Pirtle

    What if your business became a new marketplace for ministry? Rev. Lyle talks with Greg Pirtle about the relationships that led him from nearly two decades in youth and family ministry into leadership at Qualis Roofing & Construction—and how the gifts he used in ministry continue to shape the way he serves people in business. Greg shares why leadership means caring for the whole person, not only the work they do. He describes praying with team members, listening to what is happening in their lives, and building a culture where people work hard and care for one another. He also explains how his team creates "you wouldn't believe" moments for homeowners: helping carry furniture, unloading groceries, mowing a lawn before a roof replacement, or giving a family a chance to escape the noise with a movie and pizza. These stories point to a practical lesson for every business owner: excellent service is more than completing the transaction. It is noticing people, responding to real needs, and continuing to care after the work is finished. Greg also closes with a reminder to practice gratitude in both good and difficult seasons. Key takeaways: • Relationships can open doors to work that fits your gifts and calling. • Leadership includes shepherding and supporting the people on your team. • Small, thoughtful acts can make customers feel seen and cared for. • A service culture grows when teams celebrate the behavior they want to repeat. • Gratitude can reset your perspective when business feels difficult.

Along the way, she says God has been teaching her to trust Him and take action, even when the next step feels outside her comfort zone. Stephanie joins Rev. Lyle to talk about building a business through in-person conversations, especially when networking feels intimidating. Her approach is simple: aim to connect with one person, look for a way to help, and follow up with something useful. She also shares why she believes human connection matters in a world where information is easy to find, and how trust grows through consistent conversations.

    Your Story Has Power with J Loren Norris

    What if the story that grows your business isn't really about you? J Loren Norris joins Rev. Lyle on the Christian Business Growth Podcast to explore the power of storytelling in faith, leadership, and business. J Loren explains why facts, credentials, and features often fail to create the connection that a well-told personal story can create. They discuss how our stories can point people toward what God has done rather than simply drawing attention to ourselves, why vulnerability matters, and how business owners can communicate more effectively by speaking directly to the people they are best equipped to serve. J Loren also shares a practical lesson that changed the way he delivers his own training: sometimes growth doesn't require adding more. It requires giving people less information and more opportunity to apply it. His closing challenge is simple: "Tell better stories better."

    Sales is Love with Justin Janowski

    What if selling wasn't something you had to tolerate to grow your business, but actually part of how you serve people? Justin Janowski, founder of Faith to Influence, joins Rev. Lyle to share the winding journey that took him through two failed coaching businesses before finally building the business God was calling him to create. Justin explains how learning sales changed everything and why Christian entrepreneurs don't have to choose between integrity and business success. You'll discover the four foundations Justin believes service-based entrepreneurs need: a clear mission statement, a strong signature offer, consistent ways to find clients, and a sales process that makes it easy for the right people to say yes. Justin also challenges entrepreneurs to rethink selling itself. Sales doesn't have to mean pressure or manipulation. Done well, it can be service, invitation, and even an expression of love.
