In the latest episode of the Biblical Leadership at Work podcast, host Jason Woodard engages in an insightful conversation with Brandon West, founder and chief purpose officer of PHOS Creative.

Brandon shares his inspiring journey of integrating faith into the workplace while redefining what it means to lead with purpose. Brandon’s story is a testament to the power of purpose-driven leadership. From his early days studying classical studies at the University of Florida to founding PHOS Creative, Brandon has consistently sought to build a culture that prioritizes faith and people over mere results. He challenges us with the idea that success is not measured by outcomes, but by faithfulness to the mission God has given us. This concept is also what drove Brandon to write his book, It is Not Your Business to Succeed.

Throughout the episode, Brandon discusses the importance of intentionality in leadership. He emphasizes the value of investing in relationships—both at work and at home—to foster genuine connections. His personal core values, such as love and faithfulness, guide his leadership style, enabling him to create a workplace where individuals feel valued and cared for.

Brandon’s spiritual disciplines, including daily scripture reading and regular retreats, keep him anchored in his faith. By turning on the “faucet” of spiritual disciplines, as highlighted in David Mathis’ book “Habits of Grace,” Brandon opens himself up to God’s guidance and growth.

The episode concludes with a discussion on how faith can be integrated into business, regardless of the religious affiliations of team members or clients. Brandon’s approach at PHOS Creative involves being the “chief repenting officer,” modeling vulnerability and love, and creating a culture where all are welcomed and cherished.

For those seeking to lead with faith and intentionality, Brandon West offers a refreshing perspective that challenges us to focus on faithfulness rather than traditional measures of success.
