The Faithustle with Mukwenda Kandole
Hosted by Mukwenda Kandole · EN
Welcome to the Faithustle podcast, where we help young christians learn how to build their business and careers God’s way.
We have a problem in the church where those who have an entrepreneurial gift do not have healthy inspirations and role models of how to be successful and not lose your soul.
Our desire with the Faithustle Podcast is to give encourage, inspire and equip you with examples of real life successful business owners who love the Lord and have healthy relationships.
We teach from 5 pillars that we believe are the foundation of how to build well. Being Spirit Led, having Integrity, A having a heart of Stewardship, a posture of Humility and a responsibility to Generosity.
If this describes you and you want to grow with a tribe of people who are just like you in their early stages of entrepreneurship, subscribe to the podcast and YouTube channel and tell a friend about it.
We’re excited to go on this journey with you.

He Made Millions in P*rn…Then Jesus Changed Everything | w/ Joshua Broome
2d ago01:13:03Tap to summarizeWhat happens when you build a successful business, grow your influence, and gain more opportunity — but your private life is slowly falling apart?In this episode of the Faithustle Podcast, Mukwenda Kandole sits down with Joshua Broome for a raw conversation every Christian entrepreneur, founder, business owner, and leader needs to hear.Joshua knows what it looks like to build success on the wrong foundation.Before following Jesus, he became one of the highest-paid performers in the porn industry and built multiple successful careers. Today, he is a husband, father, author, speaker, and Bible teacher helping men and women around the world walk in freedom from pornography, shame, sexual brokenness, and hidden sin.But this episode is not just about Joshua’s past.It is about the danger of compromise in leadership.Because most leaders do not wake up one day and decide to destroy their marriage, reputation, business, or ministry.It usually starts small.A hidden habit.An unchecked wound.A boundary that gets moved.A secret nobody knows about.A moment of stress where you medicate instead of heal.Joshua puts it plainly:“Sin doesn’t stay where you put it.”And for Christian leaders, that truth matters.The more influence you carry, the more important it becomes to build your private life with the same intentionality you build your business.In this conversation, we unpack:• How hidden compromise grows over time• Why leaders are especially vulnerable when stressed, tired, isolated, or driven• Why pornography is often deeper than sexual desire• The connection between shame, identity, and addiction• The danger of trying to out-achieve your brokenness• Why money, influence, and success cannot heal your soulJoshua’s testimony is powerful because it proves that your worst decisions do not have to define your future.But his warning is just as important:Do not wait until everything falls apart to take your integrity seriously.If you are building a company, leading a team, growing a platform, or carrying influence in the marketplace, this episode will challenge you to ask a deeper question:Is the person behind the business healthy enough to carry where the business is going?━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔥 JOIN THE FAITHUSTLE NETWORKFaithustle Network is a community for Christian entrepreneurs who want to build successful businesses without compromising their faith, family, integrity, or calling.Inside the Network:🙏 Weekly Bible Studies📈 Business Strategy & Mentorship🤝 Community with Kingdom Entrepreneurs🎓 Training from 7 & 8-Figure Christian Founders📍 Monthly In-Person Events🔥 Conversations around leadership, integrity, business, faith, and stewardshipJoin the Faithustle Network:https://www.skool.com/faithustlenetwork━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔥 CONNECT WITH JOSHUA BROOMEInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/iamjoshuabroome/━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📲 FOLLOW FAITHUSTLEInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thefaithustle/All Faithustle Links:https://linktr.ee/thefaithustle━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — You Are Not Defined By Your Worst Moment01:07 — Welcome to Faithustle03:19 — Joshua’s Journey Through Business, Porn & Ministry05:52 — Obedience, Momentum & Stewarding Influence09:24 — Why Leaders Have to Move When God Speaks13:41 — Joshua Begins His Redemption Story15:11 — Fatherlessness, Rejection & Identity17:29 — When Achievement Becomes Your Identity19:07 — How Pornography Entered Joshua’s Life20:49 — One Decision That Changed Everything22:00 — Guilt vs. Shame24:01 — Why Shame Keeps Leaders Stuck26:23 — You Are Not Defined By What You’ve Done27:36 — Grace, Identity & Meeting Jesus30:09 — From Porn Star to Preaching the Gospel33:41 — What Joshua’s Story Means for Business Leaders35:10 — “Sin Doesn’t Stay Where You Put It”37:15 — Why Leaders Are Vulnerable to Compromise37:59 — The Deeper Root Behind Pornography40:11 — Addiction, Connection & Confession41:17 — Why Honest Confession Leads to Healing43:49 — The Cost of Getting Serious About Freedom46:27 — Do You Actually Want to Be Healed?47:42 — Taking Ownership of Your Healing50:55 — Why Money & Success Cannot Satisfy You53:09 — Ambition Has to Be Submitted to God54:19 — Removing the Lids From Your Leadership56:49 — The Power of a Surrendered Leader59:24 — Real Transformation1:01:53 — Redeeming Your Gifts1:03:00 — Freedom From Shame Is Possible1:07:12 — Why Are You Hiding?1:08:31 — Joshua Prays for Leaders Who Need Freedom━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#ChristianEntrepreneur #ChristianLeadership #FaithAndBusiness #KingdomBusiness #JoshuaBroome #Faithustle #LeadershipIntegrity

1w ago01:04:54Tap to summarizeWhat if the greatest business strategy isn't another book, framework, or marketing tactic...What if it's prayer?This is one of the most meaningful conversations we've ever had on the Faithustle Podcast.After taking a Sabbath month, we knew there was only one way to begin this new season: by returning to the foundation.For decades, Corey Russell has been one of the leading voices in the global prayer movement.

He Built an 8-Figure Company But Still Felt EMPTY | w/ Vince Del Monte
Jun 2400:47:15Tap to summarizeWhat if success isn't the finish line?What if the very thing you've spent years building is the thing God is asking you to surrender?In this powerful episode of the Faithustle Podcast, Mukwenda Kandole sits down with entrepreneur, coach, and industry pioneer Vince Del Monte.For over 20 years, Vince helped shape the online fitness coaching industry, building multiple seven-figure businesses and eventually an eight-figure coaching company.But after years of success, God began asking him deeper questions about ambition, identity, purpose, and surrender.This conversation isn't about making more money.It's about understanding what it actually means to build God's Kingdom in the marketplace.Vince shares his powerful testimony of surrendering his business, laying down ambition, and allowing God to rebuild his identity from the ground up.He challenges the idea that bigger businesses automatically mean bigger Kingdom impact and offers a biblical framework for leadership, success, and entrepreneurship.Some of the topics we cover:✅ Why scaling doesn't always mean Kingdom growth✅ The difference between ambition and obedience✅ How entrepreneurs build their own kingdoms✅ Why success can become an idol✅ The danger of attaching identity to performance✅ Why God cares more about formation than outcomes✅ The cost and reward of doing business God's wayOne of Vince's most powerful statements was:"You don't expand the Kingdom through scaling. You expand it through surrender."And another:"It's not add God to your goals. It's reorder your goals around Him."If you're a Christian entrepreneur, business owner, coach, creator, or leader trying to build without losing your soul, this episode is for you.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔥 JOIN THE FAITHUSTLE NETWORKThe Faithustle Network helps Christian entrepreneurs learn how to build their business God's way.Inside you'll find:✅ Weekly mentorship calls✅ Bible studies & prayer✅ Kingdom business training✅ Monthly events✅ Christian entrepreneur community✅ Leadership developmentJoin Here ➡️ https://bit.ly/43uzV2i📲 Follow Faithustle:https://www.instagram.com/thefaithustle/🔗 All Links:https://linktr.ee/thefaithustle━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔥 FOLLOW VINCE DELMONTEInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/vincedelmonte/━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 You Don't Expand the Kingdom Through Scaling2:15 Meet Vince DelMonte5:30 Building an 8-Figure Coaching Business10:00 Identity, Success & Ambition15:00 What Does "Seek First the Kingdom" Mean?20:00 Building Your Kingdom vs God's Kingdom25:00 Why Success Doesn't Satisfy30:00 The Cost of Surrender34:00 Why Entrepreneurs Feel So Much Pressure38:00 Fear, Relevance & Identity43:00 Why God's Way Feels Slower47:00 The Benefits of Building God's Way52:00 Peace That Revenue Cannot Give57:00 The Real Definition of Freedom1:02:00 Final Encouragement for Entrepreneurs━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#ChristianEntrepreneur #KingdomBusiness #FaithAndBusiness #ChristianLeadership #Entrepreneurship #Faithustle #BusinessGodsWay #VinceDelMonte
