🎯 Welcome back to Season 5 of Making a Masterpiece—our Build Your Brand series!

In this episode, host Norbert Elnar and co-host Bennie Smith, Jr. take you deeper into the first pillar of the Kingdom Brand Compass: the Mandate.

💥 What is the Mandate?
It’s the True North of your brand—your God-given assignment, anchored in    Scripture.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, ministry leader, or coach, this episode will help you discover the spiritual foundation your brand was meant to stand on. Because in Kingdom branding, strategy flows from Scripture, not trends.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ What “brand blindness” is and how it disconnects you from your audience
✅ The difference between marketing analytics vs branding alignment
✅ How to identify your Mandate Scripture (with personal and client examples)
✅ Why your Mandate isn’t a slogan—it’s a conviction

✅ The impact of making decisions out of faith, not fear
✅ How to reconnect with your God-given assignment and build from it

From Norbert’s childhood story of selling snacks to Bennie’s personal brand alignment with 2 Corinthians 5:13, this conversation is full of wisdom, challenge, and practical tools to re-anchor your brand in purpose.

🛠️ Your Challenge This Week:

🙏 Wrestle with God until you get your Mandate Scripture.
