    Purpose Beyond Profit: Building a Business With Kingdom Purpose | With Terry Gwaltney

    Contact us at info@culture-neer.com What would change about the way you lead if you actually believed God was in the room with you every decision you made? In this solo leadership training episode, Terry Gwaltney challenges business owners, managers, and everyday leaders to stop separating their Sunday faith from their Monday work. This is not a devotional. It is a practical, conviction-driven look at what kingdom leadership actually looks like inside a business — how it changes the way you treat people, handle pressure, make decisions, and build culture. From the tension between control and surrender to the power of small moments that build or break trust, this episode will shift the lens through which you see your role as a leader and the organization you are building. Main Quote: Who is leading you while you are leading others? Because every leader is being led by something.

  2. God's Word vs. Man's Word: The Foundation Every Leader Needs | No Neutral Ground: Biblical Authority, Cultural Influence, and Leading with Conviction | with Ken Ham

    God's Word vs. Man's Word: The Foundation Every Leader Needs | No Neutral Ground: Biblical Authority, Cultural Influence, and Leading with Conviction | with Ken Ham

    Contact us at info@culture-neer.com Ken Ham — founder of Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter — joins Terry Gualtney for a conversation that goes far deeper than creation and evolution. Ken unpacks why the real battle in culture isn't at the worldview level, it's at the foundation. He shares how his father's unwillingness to compromise shaped his entire ministry, what it takes to step out in faith when you have no money and no roadmap, and why the principles that built a $120 million ark apply just as much to building a healthy organization. Whether you lead a team, a company, or a ministry, this episode will challenge you to examine what your leadership — and your culture — is actually built on. Main Quote: "Whatever you're doing, you're doing for the Lord. Do it with excellence — because it's for the Lord that you're doing it."

    The Heart Behind the Business: Gregg Dedrick on Faith, Leadership, and Legacy

    Contact us at info@culture-neer.com Gregg Dedrick spent 30 years at the highest levels of corporate leadership — as President of KFC, a key architect behind the Yum! Brands launch, and a force in revitalizing major brands like Denny's. By every visible measure, he was winning. But beneath the success was a leader running dry. In this conversation, Gregg opens up about the moment he hit a wall, what God showed him about self-sufficiency, and how everything changed when he stopped doing things for God and started doing them with him. He also shares what it looks like to lead a company as a sacred calling, why culture ripples instead of scales, and how he now defines legacy after a life built in the boardroom and the church. This is one of the most honest and substantive leadership conversations we've had on the podcast.

    The Real Reason Your Company Isn’t Scaling | with Terry Gwaltney

    Contact us at info@culture-neer.com What separates legendary companies from average ones? It’s not intelligence.It’s not luck.It’s standards. In this episode of Culture-Neer, Terry breaks down one of the most important leadership principles for entrepreneurs and business owners: excellence is not a talent — it’s a system. Many leaders believe success comes from hustle alone. Hustle may help you start, but it won’t help you scale. Legendary companies are built on intentional standards, clear systems, and a culture that refuses to tolerate mediocrity. In this conversation, Terry explains: Why excellence must be defined and operationalized How standards shape reputation The difference between hustle and systems Why companies that tolerate mediocrity always stay average The hidden cost of poor culture and weak leadership Why customer experience will never exceed employee experience How leaders unintentionally create cultures of mediocrity Why clarity is the real job of leadership How excellence compounds like interest over time If you want to build a company that stands above the competition, attracts loyal customers, and develops a reputation people trust, you cannot rely on effort alone. You must build a culture of excellence. Because the truth is simple: Legendary companies aren’t built by accident.They’re built by leaders who refuse to accept the average.

    The Bible for Every Language by 2033 | Why 70% of the World Can’t Read the Bible | Faith Comes By Hearing: The Global Mission With Morgan Jackson

    You are a cultureneer — a cultural pioneer — and your leadership isn’t just about profit… it’s about purpose. In this episode of Culture, Terry sits down with Morgan Jackson, a leader who has served over 40 years with Faith Comes By Hearing—a ministry founded by his parents with a bold vision: Every person on earth hearing Scripture in their heart language. This conversation is a wake-up call for marketplace leaders who feel the tension between business success and eternal impact. Morgan breaks down why so much of the world is oral, why Bible access is not just about printed pages, and why the partnership between kings and priests (business leaders and church leaders) is essential if we’re going to finish the mission. In this episode you’ll learn: Why 70% of the world is oral (and why that changes Bible distribution) What it means to hear Scripture in a “heart language” Why Bible translation isn’t enough without Bible engagement The strategy behind audio Scripture and community listening groups The “kings & priests” framework: why business leaders are essential What separates a business that “donates” from one that’s truly kingdom-driven How Faith Comes By Hearing scales culture across a global organization What kind of eternal ripple effect a gift like $10,000 can make How an investment can impact entire villages, prisons, and schools Why the years leading to 2033 may be the most historic window in missions history If you’ve ever wondered:“How can my business make a real difference globally?”This episode gives you a clear answer. Because kingdom-driven businesses don’t just create revenue…They create impact. And when the marketplace and the church align around purpose—the world changes.

  8. Why Your Job Matters to God | Stop Separating Faith and Work | With Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12

    Why Your Job Matters to God | Stop Separating Faith and Work | With Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12

    You were never meant to separate your faith from your work. In this episode of Cultureneer, Terry sits down with Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12 — the world’s largest peer learning organization for Christian CEOs and executives — to dismantle one of the most damaging beliefs in modern Christianity: The sacred-secular divide. Mike shares his powerful story — from growing up in Alaska, navigating family hardship, and caring for his mother after a brain injury… to leading thousands of Christian business owners around the globe. But this episode is bigger than his story. It’s about yours. Inside this conversation, we unpack: Why 85% of Christian leaders live in “suspended animation” The dangerous myth that faith belongs at church, not at work How businesses are the true mega-churches of unchurched people Why excellence in business is an act of worship What happens when leaders don’t steward their influence How to integrate faith without being “odd for God” Why identity — not willingness — is the real issue The three measures of business success (economic, team, and spiritual value-add) How to have authentic gospel influence at work What churches must do to activate marketplace leaders If you lead a company…If you manage a team…If you employ even one person… You are shaping culture every Monday morning. The question is not whether you have influence. The question is whether you’re stewarding it. You are not “just” a contractor.You are not “just” an accountant.You are not “just” an engineer. You are deployed. You are called. You are the culture. We want to thank you for tuning in to the Culture-neer podcast. And we need your help to get this show in front of more leaders who can use a weekly dose of inspiration and encouragement.
