Launch Your Business with God - Zach Windahl pt 1

Launch Your Business with God Zach Windahl pt 1

Have you ever felt that everything you touched did not turn to gold? But instead, just went from good to bad to worse? Everything. Everything you believed in. Everything you tried to do? My guest today faced that very dilemma. In 2014, Zach Windahl went from bad to worse. He always had a plan, until that time. He was broken. He was lost. He started to contemplate everything he had believed in. He had grown up as a Christian, but things were so bad, he realized he had no idea what that meant.  He started to look at religion in a very different light. He stated to look at Christianity in America. He realized that every single religion OUTSIDE of Christianity, took their faith seriously. But in the United States, Christians rarely read their Bibles and the ideals that are labeled as “Christian” can be very skewed from one faith to another. This started Zach on a mission. He decided to read the Bible straight through. Not in in a year, but in 90 days. He wanted to seek the TRUTH. And he understood that God’s Word is the Truth. So, he set out seek THE TRUTH. Long story short, he came to some magnificent revelations. The first one occurred in – Genesis Chapter one!  Praise God! Zach Windahl has helped thousands of people better understand the Bible and grow closer to God through his company, “The Brand Sunday.” He’s the author of several books, including “The Bible Study” and his recent book, “Launch with God – How to Build a Business That Matters and Live Out Your God-Given Purpose” First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, ‘Who is Zach Windahl?” You describe your book, “Launch with God,” as a frame work for someone to launch a profitable business that matters. This book is for people who feel their God-given purpose is in entrepreneurship. The first part of your book discusses “Partnering with God.”  Many ministries discuss “partner with this ministry” and they are referring to financial support. But that is not what is meant by “Partnering with God.” Correct? In your book that “there is no secular job.” Can you share what you mean by that statement? I had to laugh when you talked about “not everybody is called to be a pastor.”  That is what most Bible schools focus on. That is what most people called to ministry believe. “If I’m called to ministry I must be a pastor, open a church, etc. etc.” In fact, I thought the same thing. I figured I’d be an evangelist and travel to various towns and hold meetings. I rented out rooms at hotels and at a few theatres, etc. And the people stayed away by the thousands!  At one event, I had a whopping 7 people in a 500 seat auditorium.  And it still took me 10 years to discover my true calling – which is what I do now, because of this same misconception. But you say, “If your called to be an entrepreneur, it’s not be a secular entrepreneur but it means you have to make entrepreneurship spiritual.”  Can you explain that for us? You had a revelation of sorts just in Genesis chapter one. Can you explain what your life was like at that point and then what happened as you read Genesis Chapter One? When you seen in the Bible that God “creates,” what did that mean for you? Explain how you came to the understanding that God’s story continues even to today… How does someone find themselves in God’s Story, as you share in your book? How can we, as you put it, “lean into our talents?” Folks, I cannot recommend this book, “Launch with God,” by Zach Windahl more highly. You need to go down into the show notes and order your copy of “Launch with God” right now, while you are thinking of it.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
