Ep 2143: Building Bold Businesses in Minnesota

As a business owner in Minnesota, Holly Misener began living out her faith more openly with clients – praying for them, pointing them to Jesus, and watching lives be transformed. What she didn’t expect was how quickly that obedience would grow into something bigger: the launch of the Minnesota Christian Chamber of Commerce. 

In this episode, Holly shares how God led her to step into leadership at just the right time and why she believes Minnesota is ready for a shift as Christian business leaders come together in unity, courage, and truth. 

What you’ll hear in the episode: 

  • How Holly’s own business became a catalyst for marketplace ministry 

  • The moment she knew she was called to start the Minnesota Christian Chamber 

  • Why so many Christian business owners feel pressure to keep their faith private – and how that’s changing 

  • What the Chamber is doing to create community, connection, and boldness among leaders 

  • The early momentum and stories of impact already happening across Minnesota 

  • Holly’s vision to start locally and expand to reach every corner of the state (then the US) 

At the core of it all is a simple but powerful belief: business leaders don’t have to hide their faith to succeed – they can lead with it. And when they come together, the impact multiplies. 

If you’re in Minnesota, this is your invitation to get connected. Attend an event, meet other faith-driven leaders, and be part of what God is building through the Minnesota Christian Chamber. And wherever you’re listening from, consider how you might plug into a Christian chamber or faith-and-work community in your own state. You were placed where you are for a reason. Now is the time to start making Kingdom impact!
