What if the place you go to relax, connect, or compete could also become the place where lives are eternally changed? In this episode, Jim and Martha sit down with Ron “3-Putt” Potter and Wes Kliner of Challenge Golf to explore how a simple game is being used to share the Gospel in powerful, intentional ways. 

From corporate careers and the courtroom to full-time ministry, Ron and Wes share how God redirected their paths toward something far greater in this season of life. Through free golf events, meaningful relationships, and strategic follow-up, Challenge Golf is reaching people who might never step foot in a church – creating space for authentic connection and life-changing conversations about faith. 

What you’ll hear in this episode: 

• How Challenge Golf uses free events and relationships to reach unchurched golfers 

• The approach of serving unbelieving and unchurched attendees 

• A powerful story of a life changed years after attending a single event  

• The heart behind their “million golfers” vision and what’s driving their growth 

• How retirement can become a launchpad for Kingdom impact, not a slowdown 

• Details on their new 18-week discipleship program designed to guide next steps in faith  

• Ways churches and individuals can get involved without financial barriers 

Challenge Golf is more than an outreach. It’s a reminder that God can use anything we love when we surrender it to Him. Whether you’re swinging a club, leading a business, or stepping into retirement, your everyday spaces can become sacred ground. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to live more intentionally in your current season, this conversation will inspire you to see your influence – and your hobbies – through a Kingdom lens.

This episode highlights a powerful example of what it looks like to faithfully serve behind the scenes and how God often uses those seasons to prepare someone for something more. Leah Borg shares her journey from supporting a ministry vision for over a decade to ultimately stepping into leadership when the time was right. 

Through her story, you’ll hear how serving others isn’t a lesser calling – it’s often the training ground for greater responsibility. Leah’s experience with Ministry Assistant Services reveals how God weaves purpose into even the most administrative roles, impacting ministries around the world in ways many never see. She also shares how her involvement with American Heritage Girls has shaped her heart for discipling the next generation and living out her faith in everyday leadership. 

What you’ll hear in the episode: 

• Leah’s faith journey and how it shaped her path into ministry work 

• The value and calling of being in a support role 

• What 12 years of faithful service prepared her for 

• How she stepped into leadership when the founders transitioned out 

• Stories of impact in supporting diverse ministries 

• Encouragement for those who feel called to serve behind the scenes 

Leah’s story is a reminder that no role is small when it’s surrendered to God. Whether you’re leading from the front or faithfully supporting from the background, your work matters – and it may be preparing you for something you don’t yet see. 

If you’re part of a ministry that could use support, or if you’ve ever felt a pull toward serving in a meaningful, behind-the-scenes role, Leah’s work through Ministry Assistant Services is worth exploring. And for those investing in young women, her involvement with American Heritage Girls offers a glimpse into another impactful way to lead and disciple.

Before Covid, virtual working was a cute fascination. After Covid, virtual work is a necessity and it saved lives.  IT also saved, gasoline, wear and tear on our clothing. It saved money on office rent and virtual working made it possible to live anywhere in the world and work right where you always have.  Perhaps you are a business owner or you run an organization like a church or a non-profit. Before Covid you wanted everyone to be in the office 8 to 5. Now you would just love it if you could get people to take a job with you. We bring you the story of Belay Solutions today. They are a kingdom company focused on bringing kingdom excellence to your organization through their virtual assistants who can help you with virtual assistants, virtual bookeepers, web specialists and social media strategists. They can provide you with staffing solutions and they do all the hard work so it is easy for you. Today we are going to hear from Lisa Zeeveld, the CFO and COO of Belay, online at www.belaysolutions.com. We are going to hear her Jesus story and the kingdom story of Belay and the impact they are having in organizations nationwide.

Our time today with Lisa Zeeveld was fun and energetic as this CFO and COO for Belay shared about the pleasure of working for a company with Godly values.  From her first position at BELAY, she learned that the number 1 value of God could direct her steps at her work.  In the early days Lisa worked as a Virtual Assistant while doing the company finances.  BELAY sees how they can help busy people redeem their time and be more productive by having a great working relationship with a virtual assistant. 

Martha asked Lisa if she is ministering to the clients or those who serve the clients and Lisa admitted that it is actually both.  She has the pleasure of praying with staff before meetings, helping them when they need encouragement, and serving the clients to meet their needs.  BELAY has been virtual from the very beginning of it’s existence and they work hard to keep the culture consistent.  This includes having all of the virtual assistants memorize their mission. 

In these current times there are 2 employment issues, finding people that want to work and companies that need workers.  BELAY pays fair wages and endeavors to take good care of their people while serving their clients well.  It’s a win for everyone. 

What a fun conversation with Lisa as we learned more about how God prepared BELAY for such a time as this.
