In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I sit down with Sam Vadakekut—a visionary entrepreneur, Kingdom steward, and author of About My Father's Business: Enslaved vs. Entrusted. Sam’s message isn’t just another faith-and-business pep talk. It’s a spiritual wake-up call that will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, authority, and wealth.
Because here’s the truth:
• Most entrepreneurs are unknowingly building their businesses the world’s way while praying for Kingdom results.
• They're applying marketplace tactics to a Kingdom assignment and wondering why it’s not working.
Sam knows this struggle well. His journey has been a wild collision of trials, triumphs, and radical obedience—all guided by God's hand.
He’s built successful ventures in real estate, healthcare, and more, but his greatest accomplishment isn’t in profit margins—it’s in the eternal impact of transforming mindsets and financial legacies through biblical principles.
But Sam’s path to success was far from glamorous. He’s faced devastating failures that would’ve made most people quit. He’s battled through seasons of loss, betrayal, and frustration. But every setback became a stepping stone—teaching him true stewardship, resilience, and a level of trust in God’s provision that most believers never tap into.
And here’s what makes Sam different: He doesn’t just teach business. He teaches Kingdom alignment.
Because making money without God’s blueprint is just glorified poverty—no matter how big the numbers are.
And the blueprint he shares? It’s straight from God’s Word.
It’s the same Kingdom principles that empowered Joseph to run Egypt’s economy, David to lead a nation, and the Proverbs 31 woman to build generational wealth.
We dive into radically misunderstood truths like:
• Why most entrepreneurs remain trapped in religious systems instead of stepping boldly into their Kingdom mandate.
• The secret to unlocking true authority and wealth—and why most believers will never access it.
• How rest and celebration aren’t luxuries—they’re weapons for acceleration.
• Why partnering with the Holy Spirit is the missing link to transforming your business and impacting the marketplace.
What if everything you’ve been taught about faith, business, and wealth is only scratching the surface?
What if your pursuit of success is actually the very thing keeping you from it God’s way?
? Tune in now and prepare to be challenged, stretched, and transformed.
