Chasing the Kingdom John Balauat - Kingdom Business Coach, Christian Entrepreneur

It’s been a year! In this anniversary episode, I invite my good friend, Alex LeBlanc, to talk about God pivots. Father has been leading me to pivot different things in my life, including this podcast and I thought Alex would be the perfect person to have a conversation about this with because he’s going through his own pivot.
Is God causing pivots to happen in your life? Then you’ll want to hear this episode!
ABout Alexander LeBlanc:
I’m a musician and developing filmmaker. I majored in Film at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and in Christian studies at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park, Colorado.
Before God called me to Florida, I was a musician at my home church in Louisiana, as well as a youth group leader, an elementary school tutor, and eventually a full-time videographer. The Lord had me lay everything down to move to Florida with no plan besides what He called His “discipleship school,” and that’s exactly what it’s been ever since. Now it’s my fourth year at my amazing church, Powerhouse church, where I’ve been getting discipled and playing piano there for 4 years, and also playing piano in the band.
The Lord has had me make some interesting choices since I moved here, but the fruit of it all has been so evident! Now the Lord had me quit my last job, and in the waiting season, all His provision keeps coming in while I rest and wait for the next steps.

In this episode of "Chasing the Kingdom" I conclude my conversation with John Duryea. He tells us one my favorite stories that shows how God really wants to talk to us. If you’ve ever wondered how God communicates with His creation, listen in!

In this episode of Chasing the Kingdom, I conclude my conversation with Scottie Cahill.  We talk about how God cares about government and politics. We talk about how leaders and laws could either bring a blessing or a curse on a people.  We also talk about how leaders with a “heart like David” can impact a culture. Tune in and listen to our conversation!

In this episode, I invite my friend Chan Davis back to tell us a little bit about herself. She tells us how she got into salsa dancing and what worship means to her.
We talk about how creativity fits into worship and how we can worship in ways you may have never thought about.
Halfway through the conversation, it gets juicy because we discuss ways in which the church is falling asleep … and ways that may help it wake up. Listen in!
