C-Suite for Christ Podcast

Welcome to the C-Suite for Christ Podcast—where we don’t water down conviction, we crank it up. Where we don’t bow to culture, we stand against it. We’re not chasing applause… we’re chasing obedience.Today, we confront the lie that’s choking the modern church: the myth that Christianity is about comfort, niceness, and cultural acceptance.No, our leader is Jesus Christ. The most controversial, the most divisive figure to ever walk the earth. He didn’t avoid tension; he created it. He didn’t seek approval. He demanded repentance. Truth was His weapon. Division was the byproduct.And the price? You know it. Criticism. Labels. Rejection. They’ll call you “divisive.” They’ll call you “controversial.” Wear it as a badge of honor because the Gospel draws lines.Jesus is still Lord, even when the world hurls stones.So, brother, are you ready to stand when your line in the sand comes? Are you ready to lose comfort so you can gain conviction?Truth divides, but it also saves. Where do you stand?"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." –Hebrews 4:12Episode Highlights07:06 - The early church didn't grow because it was safe. It grew because it was bold, because it confronted idols, because it refused to bow, because it proclaimed truth in a world that didn't want to hear it. And yeah, it was labeled controversial. It was labeled divisive. It was persecuted, attacked, and rejected. But it was also very powerful. Here's the shift that you need to make. Stop hearing those words as insults. Start hearing them as indicators. Indicators that you're no longer blending in, indicators that your faith is visible, indicators that truth is being spoken clearly enough that people have got to respond to it.09:49 - If Jesus, perfect, sinless, fully God, and fully man at the same time, was labeled, rejected, and ultimately executed, what makes us think that we can follow him and avoid those same outcomes? Somewhere along the way, we've bought into this idea that if we just present Christianity the right way, people are going to accept it. That if we're just nice enough, gentle enough, not offensive enough, everyone will embrace the message. That's not what Scripture shows us. The gospel is offensive not because it's cruel, but because it confronts the core issue of sin.15:16 - Truth divides. Not occasionally, not accidentally, not in rare situations, always. Because truth by its very nature creates contrast. It draws a line between what is right and what is wrong, what is real and what is false, what is aligned with God and what is in rebellion against him. There's no such thing as a truth that unites everyone. That's a myth. And it's one of the most dangerous lies being pushed in our culture today.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Today, Paul M. Neuberger charges straight into the thick of battle—spotlighting the dangerous rise of progressive Christianity in our boardrooms, media, and halls of power. The central figure: James Talarico—Democrat Senate candidate. He’s not being critiqued for his politics—but for boldly wearing the name “Christian” while preaching a gospel that directly contradicts Scripture.Here’s the truth: Faith that bends to culture isn’t faith at all.Compassion without biblical authority? Emptiness.Love stripped of truth? Lies dressed as “kindness.”For this stance, expect the cost: ridicule, cancel culture, pressure to bow to trending beliefs. But remember—the real cost is higher if we stay silent.Jesus is still Lord, even when politicians and influencers rewrite His Word for applause.So, leader—what will you do when your moment of truth arrives?Will you stand firm, or fold?"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!" –Galatians 1:8Episode Highlights08:08 - But when leaders, influencers, and politicians begin presenting a version of Christianity that conforms to the culture instead of confronting it, millions of people can be misled because the battle for the integrity of the gospel is happening right now in churches, in culture, and increasingly in politics.15:32 - Increasingly, Christianity isn't being rejected outright. Instead, it's being redefined. This is one of the most effective strategies deception has always used. Rather than attacking the gospel directly, it subtly reshapes the message until it becomes something entirely different.43:58 - When Christians boldly speak the truth of God's word, live it with integrity, and lead with courage, something remarkable happens. People searching for meaning begin to recognize authenticity. Confusion begins to give way to clarity, and the power of the gospel, the real gospel, begins transforming lives again.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite 

In this hard-hitting installment, Brian Holtz steps into the arena with a spiritual fire, tackling the seven most challenging questions Christians wrestle with about money, from debt and credit cards to generosity, saving, and biblically responsible investing.This isn’t a safe conversation. It’s a call to arms for business leaders and believers who dare to take Christ’s commands seriously, even when it stings.If you’re ready to trade applause for obedience and comfort for calling, press play and prepare to be confronted—challenged—to align your finances with your faith. As Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). The question is: Will you listen? Dive in to find out what that really means for your life and leadership.Episode Highlights:02:54 - "You can't serve two masters. You can either serve God or you can serve money. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. There's this really interesting analogy that keeps being built by God, this connection between our wallets and our hearts. That it seems like he believes that if we can get our wallets in the right place, everything else is gonna come with it."09:10 - "It's more blessed to give than to receive. If we believe that's true, if we believe that the scriptures are truthful, they're inerrant, they're inspired by the Holy Spirit, what does that mean for us? If it's more blessed to give than to receive, that means that when I'm generous to my church, to my local nonprofit, to a ministry that's helping the poor, that gift I give benefits me more than it benefits the receiver. That's what Jesus himself said."16:04 - "Once I've reached $400,000 in my retirement account, I don't need to save any more than that. Now, that's crazy to financial professionals. That's crazy to the world outside the church. But that's what the scriptures teach us, that we save with a purpose. And when we've fulfilled that purpose, we move on to the next priority. What that allows me to do is what we talked about in question number 4—that means I can take all the extra and I can deploy it to kingdom work now rather than saving it up in some bigger barn so that someday I can do something great. Why don't I do something great with it now?"Connect with Brian HoltzLinkedInWebsiteFacebookYouTube

Today, Paul M. Neuberger rips the mask off the biggest lie of our age: the circus of distraction. He names it. He shames it. He takes you inside the Roman “bread and circuses” mentality that’s running rampant in our digital age—an endless parade of noise, entertainment, compromise.And what does it cost? Our focus. Our courage. Our commission to stand tall for truth in a world that’s happy to see you spiritually asleep.But here’s the larger truth—Jesus is still Lord. The gospel cannot be muted by another binge session, a never-ending scroll, or the thundering stampede of popular opinion.So, I’ll ask you, executive… when your moment comes, when the crowd chants for conformity—will you wake up, speak up, and reclaim your focus for Christ?"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." –Romans 12:2Episode Highlights:13:37 – Distracted people are none of those things, and that's what makes a distracted person so vulnerable. When believers lose their focus, they become easier to influence, easier to discourage, and easier to pull away from the purpose God has placed on their lives. The enemy doesn't necessarily need Christians to renounce their faith outright. He simply needs them to become passive, comfortable, and horribly preoccupied. And if you look at modern culture, I would say that strategy is working pretty gosh darn well, incredibly well.23:29 – And when that happens, the church slowly loses its voice. But scripture never calls believers to quiet compliance with the surrounding culture. Scripture calls them to shine. It says this in Matthew 5: 14-16, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden... Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Light isn't meant to hide. Light is meant to illuminate.41:51 – Entire industries exist to keep people watching, scrolling, and consuming. But Christians aren't obligated to participate in every cultural trend that's placed in front of them. Followers of Christ have the freedom to choose what they support, what they watch, and what they allow into their minds. When believers intentionally withdraw attention from content that contradicts their values, they begin starving the system that depends on that attention. And when enough people make that decision, culture begins to shift.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite 

Today, we pull back the curtain on a global headline. Not to debate. Not to distract. But to confront the dark reality few dare to face: the brutality of the Iranian regime.Paul M. Neuberger isn’t here to repeat viral narratives. He’s here, Bible in one hand, history in the other, to expose the suffering no hashtag will fix—women beaten, protestors disappeared, children silenced under a system that calls evil good and good evil.You won’t hear this in the mainstream. Why? Because courage will cost you—ridicule, backlash, exile from the comfortable crowd. But we’re not called to comfort. We’re called to kingdom clarity.Justice demands more than outrage—it demands moral courage.Jesus is still Lord—even when the West goes silent.The line’s been drawn. When your moment of truth comes, where will you stand?Buckle up. This one’s going to be raw, real, and rooted in the Word."Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." –Isaiah 5:20Episode Highlights:07:18 – Instead of asking questions, people assume motives. Instead of seeking facts, people repeat narratives. Instead of pursuing discernment, people react emotionally. But outrage isn't discernment. Emotion isn't wisdom. And viral opinions aren't the same thing as truth.38:24 – Christians aren't called to quietly tolerate injustice. We're called to expose it, not out of hatred, not out of vengeance, but out of a commitment to truth. The prophets of the Old Testament confronted corrupt kings and unjust systems. Jesus himself challenged the religious authorities of his day when they misused their power.41:49 – Real peace is the presence of justice, and justice requires the courage to confront systems that harm the innocent and silence the vulnerable. Millions of Iranians have spent years risking their safety to protest against their own government. Many of them have paid a terrible price for that courage. Their stories deserve to be heard. Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite
