Kingdom Keys for Business, Life & Work - S01 / E73

He Lost His Business — But Not His Calling

Jonathan Brake (part 1)

What happens when the business you poured your heart into suddenly comes to an end — and you are left not only with uncertainty, but also with shame?

In this honest and hope-filled episode, we sit down with Kingdom-minded leader Jonathan Brake to talk about the personal impact of losing his business and the inner journey that followed. Beyond the practical consequences, Jonathan shares openly about the emotional weight he carried — the sense of failure, and the struggle with shame that many entrepreneurs experience but rarely talk about.

This conversation offers encouragement for entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals navigating setbacks, transitions, or unexpected endings. It is a reminder that while businesses can be lost and reputations can feel shaken, purpose rooted in God’s Kingdom remains steady — and new direction can emerge from even the most painful experiences.

🎙 Kingdom Keys for Business, Life and Work is part of the BAM Moves platform, equipping entrepreneurs and leaders to integrate faith, purpose, and practical action in business and everyday life. You can also watch the video version on BAM Moves YouTube channel.
