What has God shown you for your business that you still do not know how to build? Jacob was given a dream of speckled and spotted flocks, with no instructions attached. He was also working for an employer who changed his wages ten times. What he did next took him from building someone else's household to providing for his own. In the second episode of Season 2, Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner read Jacob's life the way a business owner would, and they ask the questions every owner and emp...

Abraham: Blessed to be a Blessing
What did God tell you about your business that you are still waiting to see? Abraham was 75 when God gave him a promise, and he was 100 when it finally came. In between, he got tired of waiting and took matters into his own hands, and the consequences outlived him. In the first episode of Season 2, Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner read Abraham's life the way a business owner would, and they ask the questions most of us avoid. Have you made an idol of comfort? Are you creating Ishmae...

Season 2 Trailer | There is a Cost
Season 2 of the Distinct Business Podcast starts here. There is a cost to letting the presence of God into your business. Hosts Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner open season two with the question most business teaching skips: what does it actually cost to make your company a place of holy ground, and are you willing to pay it? The word distinct comes from Exodus 33:16. Moses tells God that if His presence will not go with them, he does not want to go, because what else would set them apart...

Ep 7: All for God's Glory
You can run a business for God and still quietly run it for yourself. In Episode 7, Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner close the series with All to Glorify God: the seventh and final way ancient Israelites dedicated their businesses to the Lord, and the root the other six all grow from. The Hebrew word for glory, kavod, means weight: to glorify God in business is to give Him His true weight in how you price, hire, deal, and tell your story. But there's a trap: success, not failu...

Ep 6: Sabbath Trust
You can own a business and still be its slave. In Episode 6, Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner unpack Sabbath Trust — the most legislated practice in the Torah, and the sixth way ancient Israelites dedicated their businesses to the Lord. The Sabbath began in creation, not the Law: before Israel existed, God rested. From the manna test to the Sabbath year (Shemitah) to the Jubilee, rest was woven into Israel's economy as a weekly wager on God's provision — and the covenant promise was that...

Ep 5: Ethical Weights & Honest Scales
What does God actually think about how you price, bill, and represent your business? In Episode 5, Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner dig into one of the most direct — and most overlooked — commercial commands in Scripture. From Leviticus to Amos to Proverbs, God uses the same word for dishonest business practices that he uses for idolatry. That is not accidental. They cover the ancient two-bag system that merchants used to cheat on both ends of every deal, its seven modern equivalents (b...

Ep 4: The Mezuzah
The mezuzah wasn’t a decoration. It was a declaration — and God commanded it over every space where business was done. In this episode, Aaron Christopherson unpacks the ancient Hebrew practice of the Mezuzah and what it reveals about ownership, authority, identity, and accountability in business. This small object carries one of the most complete pictures of what it means to run a presence-driven business — and it has been hiding in plain sight on Jewish doorframes for thousands of years. Thi...

Ep 3: Structured Generosity
Generosity and the tithe are not the same thing — and the difference could change how you run your entire business. In this episode, Aaron Christopherson unpacks Structured Generosity: the system God wove directly into Israelite economic life. Not a suggestion. Not an add-on to the tithe. A separate, legally required operating system that governed how business owners produced, harvested, and treated the people around them. This is Episode 3 of a 7-part series on the theology of business and...

Ep 2: Firstfruits
Firstfruits isn't just a church offering. In Ancient Israel, it was an economic declaration known as Bikkurim. In this episode, Aaron Christopherson unpacks the ancient Hebrew principle of Bikkurim: the dedicated first portion, offered to God before anything else is counted. This wasn’t a suggestion. It was a command woven into the fabric of Israelite economic life — and it carries direct implications for how presence-driven business leaders should handle increase today. From Abel’s offering ...

Ep 1: Public Declaration
What would it look like to stand in the marketplace and declare that your business belongs to God? In this first episode of the Distinct Business Podcast, Aaron Christopherson and Sean Turner open a 7-part series on the ways ancient Israel dedicated their businesses to the Lord — and what that means for business leaders today. Episode 1 digs into the first practice: Public Declaration. As Moses said in Exodus 33:15-16, the distinguishing mark of God’s people was His presence among them. That ...
