2025 LAKELAND AREA FAITH DRIVEN ENTREPRENEUR CONFERENCE

​2025 FAITH DRIVEN ENTREPRENEUR CONFERENCE

​3 hours that will clear the path for you.

​This isn’t your typical conference.

​If you’ve ever felt like no one understands the weight you carry as a founder—this annual conference is for you. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re the only one trying to do business differently—you’re not.

​At the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Annual Conference, you won’t hear empty motivational speeches. You’ll hear from entrepreneurs who’ve been through the fire and come out stronger.

​Throughout the morning, you'll hear from this dynamic lineup of speakers and business leaders who are boldly integrating faith and business to impact their communities and industries:

​Bear Grylls
Francis Chan
Justin Foreman
Henry Kaestner
Cynt Marshall
Lloyd Reeb
Jim & Missy (likely a duo presentation)
Dimas Salaberrios
Kelly Merryman
John Erwin
Jeremy Lactham
Dr. Crawford Loritts
Mark Grunden

​No Fluff. Just Battle-Tested Entrepreneurs.

​These are battle-tested leaders who’ve faced the struggles you’re dealing with right now—risk, rejection, and the weight of responsibility. And they’ve still built businesses that honor God without losing their edge. They thrive in the grind. And they’re here to encourage you to do the same.

​You’re Not Alone.

​Join other Polk County entrepreneurs who know their faith is their competitive edge. You belong here. Stop feeling isolated. The support you need is right in front of you.

​This Isn’t Just Motivation—It’s Action.

​You’ll leave with practical steps, authentic connections, and a fire to build something that matters. This is your call to create. What you do with it is up to you.
