Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson welcome professional artist and one of only nine Master Penmen in the world, Jake Weidmann. Certified through IAMPETH in 2011, Jake holds the honor of being the youngest Master Penman by three decades—and the youngest ever to achieve the title. His peers have created works for the White House, Queen Elizabeth, and even the Pope, but Jake’s journey has uniquely blended calligraphy with fine art, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving.

Jake shares how faith shaped his career from the very beginning, even when industry professionals warned him not to make it explicit. Instead, leaning into his relationship with Jesus led to surprising opportunities, including his celebrated hymn series. He also opens up about overcoming struggles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the “starving artist” complex, and how God has redeemed his perspective of calling.

In this conversation, Jake reveals stories of marketplace miracles—from divine provision of materials like the wood for The Old Rugged Cross, to being placed before people and companies with favor and authority far beyond what he could have imagined. His life verse, Proverbs 22:29, has marked his journey: “See a man gifted in his work. He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.”

🎧 Join us for this inspiring episode as we explore faith, creativity, and God’s miraculous hand in the marketplace.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson:

We’re joined by Eric L. Dunavant—not your typical financial strategist. Eric is the architect behind the Kingdom ROI Method, a groundbreaking framework designed to help families fight back against what he calls the Greatest Wealth Heist in History. He’s also the bestselling author of At the Bistro with Bob, a heartfelt book about investing in what truly matters.

Eric opens up about how God used his mentor Bob Prichard to transform his view of money, legacy, and purpose—teaching him that God’s lessons are deeply personal and powerfully applicable. Bob modeled what it looks like to walk with peace and integrity in a world full of uncertainty, showing Eric how to trade a mindset of fear and scarcity for one rooted in God’s abundance and shalom.

Eric also shares a deeply personal story of his daughter’s miraculous survival in the NICU—where doctors said her only hope was prayer. Through it all, he learned the power of living with an attitude of gratitude even in the hardest seasons.

Get ready for a conversation that will reshape how you see wealth, faith, and the legacy you’re building.
