    • What Keeps you from growing your business?

      Problem: the LIE

      Lack of Know-how

      Little Acumen

      Too Little Business and entrepreneurial know-how. Do you know what to do and how to do it?

      Isolation

      Lonely

      Do you feel all alone and seems nobody understands what, why, or how you are doing?

      Exhaustion

      Tired!

      Are you really tired? Yet, your passion keeps you working harder.

      The Truth

      for Believers in Business

      Trust the source of all things (Jesus)

      Reap from sowing the Jesus way

      Understanding (get know-how!)

      Together with others as there is safety in a multitude of counselors

      Hustle: diligence, persistence, and working from rest

      Let's Join-up!

        How we Equip you to Start & Grow your Business

        Lean Start-up

        The Current Best Approach

        Lean start-up methodology has emerged as the current best approach to starting a business and has disrupted the conventional big design-business plan-get sales approach to starting businesses. The underlying philosophy focuses on envisioning a future that meets an unmet need, service to a customer, experimentation, adaptation, and passionate persistence.

        Theology of Entrepreneurship

        Reframed by Jesus the Entrepreneur

        We are experts in entrepreneurship, economics, business development, strategic planning, and Lean business practices. Our coaches and trainers have sharpened their irons in big corporations, small and growing enterprises, and non-profits. With our decades of experience in adult education, and entrepreneurial practice we synthesize or acumen with the wisdom of the Word of God.

        Economic Principles

        Biblical Foundations

        There’s nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 The Message

         

      • The Founder & Chief Servant

        Start and Grow your Business like Jesus would!

         

         

        Rodney Dale Swope is the founder and Chief Servant behind the Believers in Business LIFE Academy.

         

        I am passionate about three things

        • Advancing the Kingdom of God in the Marketplace;

        • Equipping Believers to live the abundant life in entrepreneurship;

        • Promoting Biblical Justice and Inclusion in our communities.

        The Founder & Chief Servant

        I am the grandson of a Pastor and Entrepreneur. I grew up in a family running a church and several businesses in Gary, Indiana. I learned early how to handle money and later to rightly divide the Word of God.

         

        I studied, business, finances, strategy, and economics in universities and worked as an economist in fortune 100 corporations and civic organizations before adventuring off to experience a series of entrepreneurial endeavors. I enjoyed some wins and had lots of learning days.

         

        After years of running from the mantle of ministry passed on from my grandfather, I found my purpose at the intersections of faith and finances, economics and entrepreneurship, Bibles, and briefcases. After serving as an administrative pastor and advisor in two church plants I discovered my true calling as a minister in the marketplace. I now work directly for a Jewish carpenter. He sends me on assignments. Even now, I work for Him disguised and Professor of Economics and Entrepreneurial Coach and Trainer.

         

        I believe we are all called to create, be fruitful, and productive. Moreover, Jesus is the best role model to follow. He was the first and greatest ever business start-up founder. He started an enterprise that has grown steadily for over 2000 years. When we follow his model, we too can create successful businesses that are led as he led, and afford the abundant life for the founders, their families, and communities.

        Launch it!
        March 15, 2021
        Launching your business is “The big event!” Yet, most of the advice on launching your business addresses the process of building and preparing it for its launch date. Launch day is both a new beginning and a destination. . It’s kinda like home plate in baseball. It’s a celebration and the...
        Drive your Business Like a Car
        March 8, 2021
        Running your business can be like driving a car! You might take for granted the constant monitoring of your work while driving. You have a destination locked in (sales and profitability), and you gotta trust your machine to get there. You are following the directions on the GPS and you are...
