Christian Business Insights is a faith-and-business teaching show for Christians who want their work to be both useful and spiritually grounded. It has a steady, practical cadence. The show often starts with a question from ordinary business life: starting a new venture, serving customers, thinking clearly about AI, handling discouraging inner patterns, or facing cybersecurity risk. Dave Koehl appears throughout the episodes as a recurring voice shaped by consulting, sales training, speaking, and writing. His emphasis is rarely abstract. A discussion of beginning something new becomes a checklist of spiritual preparation, prayer, fasting, alignment with God’s will, and readiness for resistance. A talk on internal strongholds moves from self-deprecating thought patterns to 2 Corinthians and the discipline of taking thoughts captive. A sales-focused episode uses Proverbs to challenge the idea that good selling is merely talkativeness, recasting speech as influence that carries responsibility. The business material is equally concrete. Conversations examine hacked websites, stolen cards, small-business insurance gaps, network scans, security policies, brand value, market segments, and customer needs. The show is comfortable moving from McDonald's and Burger King examples to Harvard Business Review references, then back to kingdom purpose. That mix gives it a lived-in texture. It is not slick motivational content. It is closer to a working notebook from a Christian business teacher who wants salespeople, managers, and career builders to think better, speak better, protect their operations, and refine their character. The recurring promise is simple: business growth matters, but not apart from discernment, integrity, and a life aligned with God.
Made for: Christian business people, salespeople, leaders, and career builders who want practical workplace guidance shaped by scripture. It also suits listeners wrestling with growth, character, communication, cybersecurity, and clearer decision-making.
What sets it apart: The show pairs devotional teaching with concrete business practice, moving easily from Proverbs and 2 Corinthians to salespeople, customer segments, insurance applications, hacked websites, and AI habits. Its strength is the insistence that marketplace effectiveness and spiritual formation belong in the same conversation.
Providing 'out-of-the-box' views of Christian Businesses and Practical wisdom designed to help you build a powerful business, excel at your careers and multiply your Kingdom impact.
