    Don’t Chase Your Calling—Walk With God

    What if your business is not separate from your calling—but actually part of it? In this episode of Kingdom Keys for Business, Life & Work, Gea Gort and Bill Job talk with “Jacob,” a fifth-generation Dutch entrepreneur whose family has worked in the food industry for more than 125 years. As a teenager, Jacob sensed a call to serve God among the nations and assumed that might mean leaving business for full-time ministry. Instead, God gradually brought his calling and entrepreneurship together. Jacob shares how his journey eventually took him to Asia, where he developed a protein-rich food business with a holistic mission. The road was far from straightforward: partnerships failed, doors closed, cultural mistakes were made, and he encountered situations where corruption was considered normal. Yet along the way, Jacob repeatedly saw unexpected people, ideas, and opportunities come together. One of his most important practices is surprisingly simple: every Sunday morning he walks for one or two hours, praying, listening, and bringing his business before God. The conversation explores calling, integrity, receiving ideas from God, finding the right people, and redefining profit as impact—not simply money. Jacob’s encouragement is simple: you don’t need to anxiously search for your calling. Ask God for wisdom and guidance, walk faithfully, and trust Him to lead.

    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
