Send us a text What if you could build lasting wealth while staying true to your purpose? Brian Tibbs did just that. At 26, Brian was thriving in business—investing in real estate, running companies, and climbing the corporate ladder. But then, he made a bold move: selling most of his assets, leaving his career, and moving to Guatemala to serve as a missionary. Introducing Brian Tibbs on the Moeller Real Estate & Business Podcast today. Brian is on a mission to help people build lasting wealth using his skills and experience. He’s eager to hear your story and walk alongside you on your wealth-building journey. From a young age, it was clear Brian was destined for business. By 26, he was already investing in real estate, serving as an executive in his father’s financial services company, and co-owning an online retail business. But a deeper calling led him down an unexpected path. Over the next three years, Brian married Jill Bramhall, stepped away from his father’s company, sold his online business, and liquidated most of his real estate portfolio—all to move, sight unseen, to Guatemala. Over the following 16 years, he led a team that trained 380 leaders to plant 96 churches across 11 countries, raised over $20 million, and helped build over 150,000 square feet of church and ministry facilities. Despite earning below minimum wage as missionaries, Brian and Jill built a multi-million-dollar net worth. Today, they no longer work out of necessity but by choice, with the freedom to pursue opportunities on their own terms. Tune in to hear Brian’s journey—one of faith, bold decisions, and financial wisdom that defies convention.

Send us a text For far too long success in business has been portrayed as being insignificant to our lives as Christians. The consequence of this has led to a secular world bereft of the values that come from God, and the Christian Church impoverished from the skill sets of her most powerful leaders. What would a world look like if it was led by people of faith? And what would our church look like if her valiant ideals could be embodied by powerful leaders? What would our lives look like, our families look like, if they were led by faith? Today's guest has dedicated his ministry to working out an effective answer to these questions. From his upbringing as a laborer and entrepreneur in his native Northwest Ohio, to his years of study and prayer in religious life, Father Nathan Cromly has sought to bring the power of faith to meet the power of the world and the power of the world to bow before the power of the faith. His writings, his presentations, and his work in founding and leading the Saint John Institute have blazed an innovative and unique pathway forward for every Christian who wonders what difference their faith makes in the world, and what use God could have for their talents and their passions.

He is here to inspire us to greatness and to challenge us to Dare Great Things for Christ™! And so, it is my pleasure to introduce to you today our speaker Father Nathan Cromley. In this episode Phil and Father discussed: 1. Nathan Cromly's Passion for Working with Businesses · His entrepreneurial spirit and journey as a priest · Recognizing the need for leadership in various aspects of life 2. Integrating Faith and Leadership · Bringing the power of faith into the demands of leadership · Using biblical examples to illustrate the connection between faith and leadership 3.
