In this episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, hosts Henry Kaestner and Justin Forman reflect on the recent Faith Driven Entrepreneur conference and introduce a powerful message from Derwin Gray, former NFL player and pastor.

Key points:

• Gray compares spiritual warfare to animal hunting tactics, warning entrepreneurs about the devil's strategies to isolate and weaken them.
• He outlines three common temptations entrepreneurs face: performance ("I am what I do"), possession ("I am what I have"), and popularity ("I am what others think").
• Gray emphasizes the importance of adopting a wartime mindset and utilizing the armor of God as described in Ephesians 6.
• The hosts discuss the relevance of Gray's message to entrepreneurial challenges and the importance of recognizing spiritual battles in business.
• An upcoming prayer series based on Gray's teachings is announced, designed to equip entrepreneurs with spiritual tools for success.

Discussion Questions:

• Derwin Gray emphasizes the importance of putting on the "armor of God." How can you practically incorporate this spiritual discipline into your daily routine as an entrepreneur?

• What steps can you take to build a support network of fellow entrepreneurs to combat isolation and strengthen your spiritual defenses?
