Multiply your impact by building Kingdom-minded connections
.We pledge to take Jesus’ name boldly back into the marketplace-not hidden, not timid, but joyfully and unapologetically.
We pledge to show His love to every client, colleague, customer, and connection.
We will be intentional not only about doing business with other Christians, but about how we steward every “ship” in our lives, our friendships, relationships, partnerships, apostleship, and our leadership. In each of these, we will model Christ’s love and multiply His Kingdom impact.

Most people think ministry happens on Sunday morning—but what if your greatest ministry opportunity starts Monday at 8 a.m.? The truth is, every phone call, meeting, and customer interaction is a chance to reflect Christ’s love in the marketplace. You don’t need a microphone or a stage to preach the Gospel. You’ve already got one—it’s your business. In Raving Referrals for Christian Business Pros, we talk about how every believer in business is called to bring the light of Christ into every deal, decision, and relationship. Let’s explore how to see your work not just as a job, but as your calling.
In the book, we talk a lot about “ships”—not the kind that sail the seas, but the ones that carry your influence and purpose. Your friendships, relationships, partnerships, apostleship, and leadership form the fleet that determines how far and faithfully you’ll go in business and life. Each of these “ships” needs care, intentionality, and direction. When Christ is the Captain of every ship in your life, success stops being stressful and starts being supernatural. Over the next few weeks, we’ll unpack how to strengthen each one and keep them sailing toward Kingdom impact.
What if building your business wasn’t just about growth—but about revival? In God’s economy, relationships are the real currency, and referrals are simply the fruit of genuine connection. When you serve others with excellence, integrity, and love, people can’t help but share your story—and His. Raving Referrals for Christian Business Pros was written to help believers turn everyday business interactions into opportunities for ministry. In this post, we’ll look at how simple, Spirit-led relationships can multiply both your influence and your eternal impact.
