From overcoming financial struggles to relinquishing idols like perfectionism and materialism, our journey reflects the profound impact of keeping Christ at the center. We explore the necessity of constant intimacy with Jesus, recognizing that God repositions our lives for spiritual growth. Our experiences are meant to inspire, offering a pathway to a deeper connection with Christ without enduring the same hardships.

Who We Are: The Business Story
What happens when an entrepreneurial spirit meets a quest for stability? On this episode of the Spartners Podcast, we explore this very conundrum through our own life stories. Troy takes us back to his flea market roots and paints a vivid picture of his journey through the exhilarating worlds of nightlife promotion and fitness. Meanwhile, Shantel offers a contrasting narrative driven by a quest for security, inspired by her father's advice and a professor's discouraging words. We discuss how balancing security and passion can shape not just your career but your very identity and personal life.
We then share a transformative moment that completely altered our paths—moving from the comfort of traditional employment to the inspiring yet challenging realm of entrepreneurship. Imagine navigating financial uncertainty while expecting a child; this was our reality, and it pushed us to seek financial independence like never before. Discover how this period led us to embrace diverse opportunities, especially for educators, and eventually guided us to Atlanta in search of a career aligned with God’s plan. From blogging to new professional ventures, we emphasize the power of collaboration and the importance of nurturing the next generation’s entrepreneurial spirit.
Finally, we recount how a seemingly trivial social media project morphed into a thriving business partnership or what we like to call a "Spartnership." Shantel’s initial skepticism turned into a newfound appreciation for the complexity of content creation, ultimately strengthening both our professional and personal relationships. We discuss the highs and lows of working together, the respect and understanding gained, and the incredible potential of uniting marriage and business under God’s guidance. Join us as we inspire like-minded couples to achieve greater goals and bring glory to God’s kingdom through unity and shared purpose.
