The Real Risk of Letting Religion Lead Y...

Brian Adamson
About this episode

What does it really look like to follow Christ in business without the religion?

In this episode, I’m talking with real estate investor, broker, and mentor Ta’Nia Thomas about walking out faith in the marketplace without putting on a church mask. We break down the trap of hiring only Christians, how religion can sabotage your leadership, and why obedience matters more than optics.

Ta’Nia shares real, personal stories from her business journey - wins, losses, and what happened when she finally stopped chasing outcomes and started trusting God for direction.

In this episode:

  • Why “Christian” culture doesn’t guarantee character
  • How to let your life preach instead of your words
  • The biggest lesson learned about strong will vs. God’s will
  • How to discern when to fight and when to be still
  • Why Kingdom business starts with humility, not hype

🔥 If you’ve ever struggled with balancing faith, leadership, and success, this episode is for you.
