There’s a difference between loving God and agreeing with his operating model. In this episode, Brett confronts a hard truth: many believers in the marketplace are stuck in old operating models, speaking kingdom language without living kingdom reality.
Using the story of Judas Iscariot as a sobering case study, Brett introduces the "Judas Syndrome”, a predictable decline rooted in compromised motives, unmet expectations, and resistance to transformation.
Listeners will discover the three common paths in kingdom business today:
• Path A – The Comfortable Conformist: well-meaning but unwilling to fully change.
• Path B – The Offended Betrayer: disillusioned when Jesus doesn’t meet their professional expectations.
• Path C – The Transformed Disciple: those who embrace discomfort, continual growth, and radical alignment with God’s ways.
This episode challenges us to examine our current path and offers guidance for moving toward authentic kingdom transformation in your business.
