A 30-Day YouVersion Bible Plan by Brian F. Pasch
Activating, Encouraging and Growing Business Leaders in the Church
Thirty days of Scripture, honest stories, and practical next steps for business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone wondering where their marketplace skills fit in God’s Kingdom.
Launching October 9, 2026 on the YouVersion Bible App
“Where do I fit?”
Brian was sitting in church next to Carrie when the question hit him. The invitations to serve were good ones, but none of them seemed to need what he was good at: business, innovation, and problem-solving. He felt like he was on the outside of God’s purposes.
Then God brought Kingdom-minded friends into his life who reminded him that his business skills were exactly what God intended to use. A calling to the marketplace is just as sacred as a calling to the pulpit.
This plan is for everyone who has ever quietly wondered the same thing. Over 30 days, Brian shares Scripture and lessons from a career that runs from a pancake-house kitchen to Wall Street to founding several companies, including the failures, the pivots, and what God taught him through each one.
Who this plan is for
Business owners
Leaders who want their company to be a place where they serve God, not just the thing that pays for weekend ministry.
Aspiring entrepreneurs
Anyone considering starting a business who wants to test the idea, count the cost, and hear from God before spending the money.
Pastors & church leaders
Leaders who want to activate the marketplace leaders already sitting in their congregation and build partnerships that carry the vision forward.
The Kingdom Builder framework
Pastors give the vision. Kingdom Builders provide the resources.
Throughout Scripture, kings and priests work together to support God’s work. Every believer is part of “a royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9). What differs is the assignment.
Pastors often carry the vision for the local church. Marketplace leaders can help bring provision, expertise, and execution. Neither role is spiritually inferior, and each needs the other.

What you’ll take away
Clarity on your calling
See your business as a place of service and learn to tell the difference between your skills and your assignment.
Practical frameworks
Simple tools for testing an idea, counting the cost, diagnosing when to pivot, and deciding when to hire, delegate, or partner.
Healthy success
Guardrails for pressure, wealth, and “more,” along with a growing vision for generosity designed into your business.
A tribe
A plan for building a small circle of Kingdom-minded leaders who will pray with you and tell you the truth.
Don’t walk through it alone
The very first action step is to invite another business leader to go through the plan with you. Churches, Legacy groups, and small groups are welcome to read it together, and Brian and Carrie are glad to talk about speaking at your gathering.
