## Resource

In this episode, Greg sits down with Mike Faulkner — a British-born financier who built and took multiple companies public — to explore the intersection of faith, wealth, and kingdom-minded leadership. The conversation centers on Romans 12 giftings as the foundation of good business: the leader's primary job is placing people in roles that match how God designed them. From there they discuss covenant as a practical technology for protecting families and businesses, the importance of "getting clean" before covenanting, and why unequal measures and fools in the org chart are the two most common deal-killers Mike sees. The episode closes with a vision for a kingdom investment company — a holding structure that lets kingdom-minded businesses access capital, share equity with employees, pay dividends, and give Christians a way to go long on their community rather than short it.
