The Biggest Lie Christian Entrepreneurs Believe w/ JT Tapias

In this episode, Mike Thakur sits down with entrepreneur and coach JT Tapias to unpack one of the most common and damaging misconceptions Christian entrepreneurs face: the idea that serving God means walking away from business. JT shares his remarkable journey—from growing up around organized crime, achieving success at a young age, and selling a thriving business because he believed God wanted him in “real ministry.” What followed was a season of confusion, loss, and ultimately deep clarity about how God actually works through business. This conversation speaks directly to faith-driven entrepreneurs wrestling with ambition, obedience, calling, and burnout—and why business is often not a distraction from God’s purpose, but the very place He intends to use you most. If you’ve ever questioned whether your work matters to God, this episode will bring both conviction and freedom.
