Disrupt Well

Blessed + Bossed Up

Welcome back to another installment of our Bible on Business series! In today’s episode, we dive into the powerful message that Kingdom Entrepreneurs are Disruptors. Through the example of Apostle Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19:23-32), we explore how true kingdom businesses inevitably challenge cultural and economic norms, much like Paul’s ministry did against idolatry and occultic practices in Ephesus.

Episode Highlights:

• The Disruptive Impact of Kingdom Businesses
• Paul’s ministry in Ephesus created an economic and spiritual ripple effect, revealing the clash between kingdom values and societal idols like greed, idolatry, and exploitation. As kingdom entrepreneurs, we must be prepared to face similar resistance when operating with integrity and purpose.
• The Inevitable “Riot”
• Just as Paul’s ministry sparked a riot, modern kingdom businesses often challenge norms that are deeply embedded in the business world. From hustle culture to manipulative marketing, today’s entrepreneurs are called to disrupt these standards, knowing that resistance is part of the journey.
• Building Businesses with Integrity and Impact
• Tatum shares practical tips for maintaining purity in business, including transparent pricing, prioritizing purpose over profit, and incorporating charity. By staying rooted in prayer, relying on community support, and being intentional about leaving a legacy that glorifies God rather than self, entrepreneurs can build resilient, kingdom-focused businesses.

Key Takeaways for Disruptive Kingdom Entrepreneurship:

1. Transparent Pricing and Practices – Build trust by being open about materials, sources, and policies that prioritize integrity.
2. Prioritize Purpose Over Profit – Support charitable causes or community initiatives, demonstrating that the kingdom purpose is greater than the bottom line.
3. Root Yourself in Prayer and Community – Prayer and community are essential for navigating the challenges of disrupting worldly systems.
4. Ensure a Legacy of Faith, Not Fame – Aim to leave a Christ-centered legacy by putting Christ at the center of all business activities.

Scripture Reference:

• Acts 19:23-32 – Paul’s ministry in Ephesus and the disruptive impact it had on a society steeped in idolatry.

Tatum encourages listeners to embrace the reality that as kingdom entrepreneurs, they’re called to disrupt the status quo. With wisdom from Paul’s journey and practical tips, this episode empowers listeners to courageously confront opposition, build ethically, and leave a lasting impact that glorifies God.
