He Built a $3 BILLION Business — His Advice to Christian Entrepreneurs | w/ Michael Mcintyre

He built an insurance empire that generated more than $3 BILLION in sales.

20,000 agents. Massive profits. Jets. Cars. Houses.

Success by almost every worldly measurement.

Then Michael McIntyre encountered Jesus — and everything changed.

In this episode of the Faithustle Podcast, Michael shares the incredible journey from building and selling a massive insurance business to giving his life to Christ, eventually serving as an executive pastor and CEO at UPPERROOM, coaching entrepreneurs and leaders, and now stepping back into the insurance industry with a completely different mission.

But this isn't just a success story.

It's a wake-up call for Christian entrepreneurs who have been sitting on the sidelines.

Michael believes too many believers are playing small, overthinking decisions, allowing fear to disguise itself as wisdom, and saying they're "waiting on God" when God may actually be waiting for them to MOVE.

His philosophy is simple:

Seek wisdom. Measure twice. Cut once.Then GO.

Because you can't steer something that isn't moving.

Michael gets incredibly practical about what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur: making decisions, accepting failure, seeking mentors, developing discipline, getting comfortable being uncomfortable, building wealth with purpose, involving God in your business, protecting your family, and refusing to quit when entrepreneurship gets hard.

We also have an honest conversation about MONEY.

Should Christians desire wealth?

Is playing small actually humility?

Can making more money advance the Kingdom?

And what changes when Jesus truly becomes the CEO of your business?

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

• How Michael built an insurance company that generated $3B+ in sales

• Growing an organization to thousands of agents

• His journey from insurance executive to CEO of UPPERROOM

• What changed in Michael's leadership after meeting Jesus

• Why Christian entrepreneurs struggle to make decisions

• How fear can disguise itself as "wisdom"

• A biblical perspective on money and wealth

If you're a Christian entrepreneur who knows God has called you to more but you've been afraid, hesitant, double-minded or sitting on the sidelines...

This episode might be the push you need to GET IN THE GAME.
