Episode 114 - Unlocking Kingdom Impact w John Purcell
In this compelling episode of Pathway to Purpose, we welcome John Purcell of Transform Coach to challenge and encourage Christian business leaders to embrace their unique calling in the marketplace. Drawing on years of experience and powerful insights, John reveals a startling truth: CEOs have over 8,000 times more daily influence on unbelievers than pastors. What does this mean for you as a leader? The opportunity for Kingdom impact in your workplace is greater than you might ever have imagined.
John unpacks the “Five Dysfunctions of a Kingdom Company,” adapted from Patrick Lencioni’s renowned framework, and applies them directly to Christian-led organizations. You’ll discover:
- Why a cohesive leadership team is foundational for Kingdom effectiveness
- The critical importance of organizational clarity-knowing your purpose, vision, and values
- How intentional planning (not wishful thinking) leads to real Kingdom impact
- Why your own spiritual growth is vital for your team and company
- What authentic biblical community looks like in a business context
Packed with practical examples, scriptural wisdom, and actionable steps, this episode will help you assess your own leadership, clarify your organization’s mission, and develop a plan for spiritual and cultural influence.
Whether you’re a CEO, manager, or aspiring leader, this conversation will inspire you to leverage your business as a platform for God’s glory-transforming lives, organizations, and communities for Christ.
