Join the
founding cohort
Faith to RISE is a free 18-week study of Matthew’s Gospel for business owners and leaders. Sign up now through January 1. The founding cohort starts together on January 1, 2027.
The study is free. Your digital workbook arrives December 31. Lesson 1 opens January 1. Printed workbooks can be ordered starting December 3, $25 plus shipping. They’re optional.
Faith that shows up in how you lead
If you run a business, lead a team or are trying to build something from nothing, you already know the pressure. Payroll doesn’t care how you feel. Clients don’t always pay on time. Some days your faith feels like the first thing to get squeezed out of the calendar.
Faith to RISE is a simple, practical walk through the Gospel of Matthew for Christian business leaders and entrepreneurs who want their faith to shape how they lead on Monday morning.
We will just study the Bible.
We will uplift one another.
We will provide resources.
This study is always free. It’s meant to sit alongside the people who already walk with you in your faith, not take their place.
How it works
Every lesson follows the same four steps
The passage for the day. Most lessons use the King James Version, and some use the English Standard Version.
One big idea from the passage.
A simple outline that breaks the passage down so you can understand it and remember it.
Something to actually do, today or this week, at home and at work.
“Hearing without doing is how a lot of us end up knowing more about Jesus than we look like Him.”
Brandon, from the introduction
Each lesson takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Each one also has a short teaching video and a code you can scan, or a web address you can type, to watch it. Videos release one week at a time.
