E14: The Power of Taking Action in Your Faith Journey

One’s actions must align with beliefs and mission statements, both in business and personal life. Leadership is not about being perfect. Rather, it's about being the light that keeps showing up and being bold.

How can you influence people to show up and take action? Joining us on this episode of The Kingdom Flow Podcast is Chris Vester, entrepreneur and co-host of “Faith. Family. Fulfillment.” Podcast. He shares his insights on leadership, knowing oneself better, and being intentional.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Doing better with strategic planning
• Having firm beliefs you know to be true
• Keeping Christ at the center of life
• Building a brand and social presence
• Starting incremental positive changes with fitness

Episode Highlights:

[15:17] Leading by Example

Some people do business without a strategic plan or purpose statement. Chris began developing his faith and leadership, starting with strategic business planning and incorporating core values. He then became a coach for others, which evolved into a leadership development program that involved working on life's spiritual, mental, and physical aspects.

[21:30] Keeping Christ at the Center

Someone asked Chris what he would think if one of his daughters married someone just like him. This wake-up call made him realize his impact on people close to him. In addition, he and his wife were able to navigate tough challenges in marriage thanks to keeping Christ at the center of their relationship.

[31:40] Showing Up and Being Bold

Chris talks about being a light and showing up as a believer in one's faith. He encourages others to build their brand and social presence to let others know who they are. Instead of using "God's will" as an excuse for laziness, take action and stack habits to build one's faith.

Notable Quotes:

[08:09] “Find physical challenges, find these ways to create and cultivate an atmosphere to really hear from God.”

[26:36] “If you're not in integrity with yourself, then you really have no business leading other people, honestly.”

[1:04:16] “When you start doing your daily devotional time, you got to start to keep doing it.”

[1:08:12] “Stay focused on what Jesus has already called you to do, continue to take territory and continue to grow.”
