In this episode of the Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals podcast, we explore how God used an entire network of professions to prepare the world for the birth of Jesus Christ. From carpenters to census workers, innkeepers to government officials, shepherds to astronomers, Scripture reveals that God strategically positioned everyday vocations to fulfill His divine plan. Drawing from Psalm 24:1, we examine the difference between "the earth" and "the world" and how systems, structures, and occupations belong to Him. This teaching invites modern professionals to see their own work as part of God's ongoing preparation for Christ's return. Join us as we uncover how your vocation fits into the redemptive story of God. Like, share, and subscribe for more insights that empower your purpose.

In this transformative episode of The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue continues to unpack one of Scripture's most overlooked leadership principles: shared credibility. Using the lives of Barnabas, Saul/Paul, and John Mark, he reveals how God advances His work through the imputation of trust, the transfer of influence, and the humility to raise up others, even when they eventually surpass us. Listeners will encounter powerful insights from Proverbs 27, Acts 9, Acts 11, and Acts 15 as Michael Blue examines how Barnabas used his own credibility to open doors for Saul and later John Mark. This teaching illuminates both the risk and the reward of sharing power, the necessity of generational leadership, and God's redemptive ability to restore those with damaged reputations.

In this thought-provoking episode of Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue unpacks the principle of shared credibility—the transfer of trust, power, and influence from one generation of leaders to the next. Drawing on the biblical story of David, Solomon, and Hiram, Blue explores how Solomon inherited his father's credibility and how mishandling that sacred trust led to strained alliances and moral lessons that echo into our professional and spiritual lives today. Listeners will be challenged to reflect on how they steward the credibility others have extended to them—and to ensure that their conduct honors those who believed in them first. "You cannot have an expensive friend and handle him cheaply. Don't do them dirty."
