Ep 2117: An Opportunity to Align Strategy and Faith

What happens when business leaders stop asking God to bless their plans—and instead align themselves with His? 

We connect once more with Todd Hopkins, founder of Office Pride and creator of the Strategic Thinking Network, to explore what it means to think strategically, critically, and eternally in business. 

Todd shares how God taught him to stop striving for “immeasurably more” through his own ideas and instead rediscover the plans God had for him “from his mother’s womb.” Through the Strategic Thinking Network’s first year, Todd has seen 24 business leaders experience supernatural growth by inviting the Holy Spirit into their strategy sessions. 

You’ll also hear from Ladell Graham (Ambassador Development Group) and John Bergida (Hecto Group), two 2025 participants whose lives and leadership were transformed through this Kingdom-centered approach. From discovering the power of eternal thinking to using practical tools like Hoshin and the Inverted Pyramid, they reveal how faith-driven collaboration can shift business results—and hearts. 

Whether you lead a team, run a business, or want to bring more of God into your work, this episode will remind you that strategy isn’t just about planning the future—it’s about partnering with God for it.
