As believers in Christ, many of us today fall into the trap of thinking we have to approach God in a certain way.

Why did we form Kingdom Business Mentors? As many Christians have been erroneously taught that wealth is something evil and not meant for the children of God, we align with biblical scripture that we were born to rule, reign, and prosper. We believe that abundance is the ONLY way to be sustainably generous, so we, the Body of Christ, can be the catalyst to help heal our hurting and dying world. We believe that God has opened the business platform as the extension of the Church for a great harvest in the last days, increasing the Kingdom of God, day by day.

The faith God calls us to is far more than glowing positivism that shields us from life's struggles. It is one that guides us into a deepening intimacy with the God who sustains us in the broad sweep of life.

A biblical view of these disciplines can safeguard us from disillusionment when - not if - difficulties surface in our lives.

Gary Thomas issues a passionate manifesto of faith fully alive. Holy Available calls us beyond mere sin-avoidance to a robust holiness that radiates Christ through every aspect of our being.
