Faith Driven Entrepreneur exists so Christ-following founders do not have to build alone. The ministry helps entrepreneurs find their community and fulfill their God-given call to create, and it frames business as a place to know God more fully and make Him known.^1
The centerpiece is the Foundation Course: eight sessions, online or in person, at no cost, built around real-life stories, biblical teaching, and honest conversation with peers.^3 Groups of 10 to 15 entrepreneurs meet for an hour a week, and anyone can lead one: gather 5 to 12 entrepreneurs, press play on the video, and guide the conversation, with session videos, discussion guides, leader training, and support provided.^4 A weekly podcast, hosted by Justin Forman, sits with founders and pastors at the intersection of calling and company-building.^6 The companion app puts video courses and stories, group resources, and ways to connect in one place on iPhone and Android.^7 Churches get ready-made tools to disciple the business owners already in their pews, at no cost to the church.^9 The homepage also lists an annual conference and the Culture Amplifier, a 12-month process for high-capacity owners and CEOs who want to build a faith-driven culture in their company.^1
The ministry grew out of Sovereign's Capital, the investment firm Henry Kaestner co-founded, which could fund only a small share of the entrepreneurs who came to it. Kaestner explains it this way: "So we started a ministry called faith-driven entrepreneur, that provides content and community."^10 Faith Driven Entrepreneur is hosted by Faith Driven Movements, a non-profit ministry co-founded by Henry Kaestner and Justin Forman.^11 Its public statement of faith confesses one God in three persons, Scripture as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and salvation as a gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ.^2
