Meet Your Host
James M. Barthel is an entrepreneur, coach, and author who knows what it means to hit rock bottom — and how God can turn brokenness into breakthrough.
After leaving a thriving corporate career to follow his entrepreneurial calling, James soon found himself $300,000 in debt, leading a struggling startup, with two kids in college and no clear way forward. One desperate night, in total surrender, he cried out to God — and what he received wasn’t just comfort, but a revelation. God gave him a Biblical Growth Roadmap’ — a divine framework that would transform not only his business but his entire life.
Through faith, perseverance, and overcoming the strategic and spiritual obstacles to growth, James applied that God-given framework and watched his company grow into an eight-figure, Inc. 5000-recognized success serving Fortune 500 companies, law enforcement, and the U.S. military. After selling the business, he dedicated his free time to understanding why God calls Christian Business Leaders to something greater — and how He equips them to grow and lead with Him at the center.
Thou Shall Grow was born from a 1,000-day journey of prayer, surrender, and divine guidance. During this time, you’ll hear what inspired James to write it, what God revealed along the way, and how this message can help you grow your life and business with faith at the center.
Now, through his Integrated Faith Business™ Framework, James equips leaders to move from striving to success — and from success to scaling with freedom.
His message is simple yet powerful:
When faith and business align, growth becomes inevitable.
