Faith Ventures welcomes David Forster, serial entrepreneur, founder of Bike It Out, and certified brain fitness coach helping entrepreneurs sharpen their mental edge through movement, recovery, and systems thinking. David has built and sold multiple businesses — from landscape companies to a retail bicycle shop — and now combines his background in kinesiology, operations consulting, and faith to help high-capacity leaders perform at their best without burning out.

David shares his journey from accidental hamster breeder to landscape entrepreneur to bike shop owner, including the moment he felt God tell him to put down a dream he had worked hard to build and what obedience to that call did for his marriage and his walk with God. He opens up about the ride that changed everything: one hour on a bike that cleared years of accumulated stress and showed him what it felt like to think clearly again. That experience became the foundation for Bike It Out and his cycling-based protocols for mental clarity, cortisol recovery, and brain fitness.

The conversation then turns to the theological distinction David draws between stewardship and ownership in business: why most Christian entrepreneurs confuse the two, what it means to put God in the owner's seat of your org chart, and how the parable of the talents becomes an accountability framework when you actually believe it applies to your P&L.

Whether you're an entrepreneur wrestling with stress and burnout, a Christian business owner who wants to think more clearly about what stewardship really demands, or someone who just needs a good reason to get back on the bike hanging on your wall, this episode will challenge and encourage you.

The Faith Ventures Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.
