Unleashed

What if God could use your business to reach people the church can’t? In this episode of Unleashed, Ryan talks with Mike Baer, a pioneer in the Business as Mission (BAM) movement and host of the Business as Mission Podcast. Mike shares his journey from pastoring and church planting to discovering how business can open doors to the unreached—especially in regions closed to traditional missionaries. You’ll hear how marketplace discipleship mirrors the early church, why business unlocks access in the 10/40 Window, and how believers can use their skills to make disciples, create jobs, and bring lasting impact around the world. If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur who senses God wants to use your work for more than profit, this episode will expand your vision.   Learn more at thirdpathinitiative.com  

In this episode, entrepreneur and Kingdom leader Markus Kaulius takes us on a journey through his powerful story...from a painful, insecure childhood to becoming a confident, Spirit-led businessman. Markus shares the moment God rewrote his identity at 15, the years of building (and eventually selling) his global supplement company, and the lessons he’s learned about hearing God’s voice, following peace, and trusting God’s timing. We also get into practical transformation: why Markus no longer relies on traditional goal-setting, and how daily habits, routines, and alignment with the Holy Spirit have shaped the man he’s becoming. He talks through the rhythms that anchor his days, the sermons and inputs that fuel his growth, and the mindset shifts that helped him stay the course. This conversation weaves together identity, purpose, divine direction, and practical discipline... the kind of talk that refreshes your faith and sharpens your vision.   Links: https://markuskaulius.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Play-Bigger-Game-Principles-Fulfillment/dp/B0CVBPCKNZ

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Ryan opens up about his own struggles with traditional goal-setting—and why many believers feel defeated by the pressure to hit every target. Instead of fixating on rigid plans and SMART goals, Ryan shares a freeing approach rooted in intimacy with God, daily obedience, and open-handed surrender. You’ll hear real stories from his own “foundation year,” unexpected pivots, divine connections, and how God often redirects our path toward something far bigger than what we could’ve planned. If you’ve ever looked back on a year feeling like you “didn’t do enough,” this conversation will encourage you, ground you, and remind you that God is at work in the unseen. This episode is for anyone who wants to dream with God, release perfectionism, and step boldly into the new year with peace, clarity, and purpose.   Links: Join our FREE Unleashed Community - https://everybelieverunleashed.com/
