The Hyve PodcastIf Jesus Ran Your Business, What Would It Look Like?If Jesus ran your business today, what would it look like? Would it be a selfish enterprise? Would it be a "good" business, advertising how well it is treating its employees and caring for the planet? Or would it be filled with complete selflessness? Is that even possible - to have a business that just cares about others?!Jesse Zwiker, president of Hyve, shares 7 "P"s with you:PurposeProductProcessPlacePeoplePlanetProfitIn each of these areas, we can either conduct our businesses the "selfish" way, the "worldly" way or the "selfless" way.

The Hyve PodcastEvangelism Is BrokenWhen we look at the numbers, we can get disappointed very quickly. Each day, close to 400,000 new babies are born. Yet we only baptize 3,000 new members every day. It looks like we're getting further and further away from finishing the work. Our method of evangelism seems to be broken. How do we solve this problem?Jesse Zwiker, founder of Hyve, explains. Our model doesn't work because we're trying to do it in our free time. Besides our regular job, family, hobbies and friends. So when our pastor kindly asks again to do some mission work on Sabbath...2022-07-1131 min
The Hyve PodcastThe Jewish SecretA dollar that is owned by a Jew will usually swap 14 different Jewish hands before it leaves this economic circle. The Muslim community enjoy similar privileges. Yet almost every dollar owned by a Christian immediately leaves the Christian community... What if we could build an Adventist ecosystem?

Jesse Zwiker colorfully explains why we need to establish more family businesses — more Adventist businesses. 2022-06-0632 min
The Hyve PodcastBusiness or Mission?Serial entrepreneur Jesse Zwiker once had classes in business but couldn't stand them.

The Hyve PodcastProfit is evil. Right?Some have said it, others have thought it: as Seventh-day Adventist Christians, we should not care about money. Profit is worldly. We need to share the Three Angels' Messages and not talk about profit. But can we really separate the one from the other? Can profit also be good - and actually important for God's work?Listen to Jesse Zwiker, founder of Hyve and discover the hidden lie behind profitability. It became prominent in the mid-evil time period when the Catholic church made monks swear an oath of poverty. It became evident when the church collected exorbitant...2022-04-1835 min
The Hyve PodcastThe Restaurant Failed But...Have you gotten to a point in your life where you had to give up something that was extremely important to you? When we start our business, that small enterprise usually becomes our little baby.

But then we encounter failure...Listen to Ivonne's story of her first restaurant and find out how God has rescued this "sinking ship" and crafted an entirely new and beautiful boat out of the broken p...2022-04-1134 min
The Hyve PodcastUsing Your God-Given TalentsIt's a lie from the devil that church members can only do some evangelism in their free time. God gave you a talent - we believe many talents - and He wants you to use them for something beautiful. Yes, we need to surrender our lives and our skills, and that is often easier said than done. But we shouldn't give up our skills in order to be a good worker for the LORD. Jesse Zwiker, president of Hyve, explains why God wants you, needs you, and is so excited about you and your skills.

The Hyve PodcastEllen White's Forgotten VisionAround 1900, the population of San Francisco was doubling every few years. Tens of thousands of people came to the city - and Adventists were ready to help out. They established a network of restaurants, shops and treatment centers. They provided homes for orphans, gave jobs to unemployed people and shared the love of God with them. They were working for God full-time, in a self-sustainable way. They were missional entrepreneurs. Ellen White referred to this work a few years later and called it a "beehive". She repeatedly said that we need to take this method an...2022-03-2816 min
The Hyve PodcastHelping the Church Grow More EffectivelyThere are two types of metrics in the business world. Growth metrics and vanity metrics. Businesses like Facebook don't really care about big numbers that just sound nice, yet don't measure growth. They measure their daily or monthly active users, not their total membership. How many active church members do we have? And how do I become an active church member?Jesse Zwiker, president of Hyve, shares three levels of engagement and motivates us to slowly transition from "free-time" evangelism to full-time dedication for God's cause.
