Christian Capitalist Podcast
With Rich Sanders
Witnessing Business, Walking in Faith, and the Real American Dream"
In this inspiring and honest conversation, host Rich Sanders welcomes Kyle Martin and Steven Beckham, lifelong best friends, entrepreneurs, and co-hosts of the Witness Business Podcast. The three dive into the origins of their podcast, their passion for entrepreneurship through a Christian lens, and the bridge between working hard, building businesses, and giving generously. From Easter reflections and funny Easter egg stories to a powerful discussion on capitalism, calling, and charitable giving, this episode unpacks what it really means to live out your faith in the marketplace.
They explore how ideas become businesses, why starting is the hardest but most vital step, and how believers can use wealth as a tool to love their neighbors well without shame.
