Can your business really be your ministry?

In this episode of the Faithustle Podcast, I sit down with Meshali, a world-renowned portrait photographer in entertainment and Christian media. From starting with no photography background to capturing iconic images of leaders like Chandler Moore, John & Lisa Bevere, Christine Caine, and even the Duck Dynasty family, Meshali’s story is proof of what God can do when you take a leap of faith.

She’s also the author of Restored, a groundbreaking book that blends photo storytelling, poetry, and words into a modern-day parable of restoration.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• How Meshali went from knowing nothing about photography to becoming an industry leader
• Why she treats her businesses as ministry first, business second
• The heart posture God blesses when it comes to entrepreneurship
• Why we must examine our motives for building a business
• The reality that we will be held accountable in heaven for how we stewarded our gifts
• Encouragement for entrepreneurs who feel scared to take a leap of faith



👉 If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, creative, or dreamer, this episode will inspire you to see your business as Kingdom work.

🚨 Don’t just build for profit. Build for purpose.
