2025-06-03 19:01:32As some of you know, I lead a quarterly Bible Study through Faith Driven Investor
One of the members from the cohort that just ended forwarded me an email from the US Christian Chamber of Commerce
The summary is: Christians should intentionally be doing more business with Christians.
[Full email at the bottom of this Article]
I recanted to my FDI member about a book I read a few years ago, Thou Shall Prosper, by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.
In it he gave the statistics that a single dollar recirculates in the Jewish community 12 times, Muslims 8 times, and Christians only 3 or 4 times.
(I'm probably slightly off on recalling the stats)
But the point being that as a people group, Jews are 4x more wealthy than Christians because Christians value doing business with one another 4 times less than Jews...or said another way, the Jewish people value doing business with one another 4x more than Christians.
Reading the email I was sent, I was further reminded as business owners, leaders, and investors;
If we are truly going to steward that which God has entrusted to us, we should want to re-circulate those resources as many times as possible within the Christian community in order to have the greatest probability of return on image bearers.
What are your thoughts?
I Bought a House Through the Christian Chamber - What happened next surprised me
My husband and I just bought a house—but it wasn’t just a transaction. It was a transformation.
With our daughter’s high school graduation behind us, we felt ready to step into a long-held dream: moving to a beach town we’ve thought, talked, and prayed about for years. As part of turning our dream into a reality, we made a very intentional decision:
We would buy our home entirely through the Christian Chamber community.
We wanted to walk the talk—to model what Kingdom commerce really looks like. So we sought Christian-led businesses for every part of the process. What started as a symbolic gesture quickly became a profound experience with two life-changing revelations:
1) The Power of Prayer in Business
Yes, we prayed as a couple—but imagine your Realtor, lender, inspector, and insurance agent all praying with you, too.
We’re not talking about just being “nice people” or listening to worship in the office. We’re talking about Spirit-filled, Jesus-following believers who brought prayer into every decision.
· Our Realtor is also a church planter—her discernment helped us find the perfect house on day one.
· Our lender joined us in prayer—and worked miracles to make the deal smooth and abundantly possible.
· Our inspector's biggest red flag? A bird’s nest in a porch light. (Yes, really.)
· Our insurance agent handled everything—and in Florida, that’s no small feat.
I have bought and sold seven homes in my life, but this was the best experience by far. The layout, the location, the timing, the favor—it was all wrapped in prayer and covered in grace. It wasn’t just business. It was supernatural.
2) Kingdom ROI — A Multiplied Impact
By doing business with Christians, we didn’t just find great service. We created a multiplied Kingdom return.
We know where our vendors give. We know the churches they support, the ministries they fund, and the people they serve.
When they earned from our purchase, those dollars didn’t disappear—they were reinvested into Kingdom causes we could never reach on our own.
This is Kingdom ROI.
It’s a real-life example of the parable of the talents—we didn’t bury our resources. We multiplied them. When you spend money with aligned believers, your impact compounds.
The opposite is also true:
When we spend with businesses that oppose our values, we’re funding platforms that erode the very things we’re trying to protect—our families, our freedoms, and our faith.
We MUST STOP funding the enemy.
The Bigger Picture
Let’s be clear: Studies show that Christians make up 31% of the world’s population, but we control 55% of the world’s wealth—more than $107 trillion in personal assets.
And yet…we’re leaking that wealth into systems that are actively working against us.
Why? Because we do not have the infrastructure to keep it aligned.
Until now.
That’s what we’re building through the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce: A national infrastructure that empowers Christians to redirect their dollars, align their values, and multiply their impact.
What If You Did the Same?
· Buy your next product or service from a Christian-led business.
· Hire your next contractor from your local Christian Chamber.
· Invest in a company with eternal impact.
· Launch a Christian Chamber in your region—we’ll help you.
· Join the U.S. Christian Chamber. This is your Chamber, for your nation.
· Meet us in Orlando for SWC 2026, the global gathering of Christian commerce.
Imagine the multiplying power if thousands of us made similar decisions—every day—across this nation.
We own the wealth. Now let’s build the infrastructure, create the ecosystem, and shift the world's wealth one transaction at a time.
This is our nation and we are One Nation Under God!
