Episode 379 - Gospel Patrons: The Secret Behind Every Great Movement of God | John Rinehart
Faith Driven Entrepreneur
A couple commits $5 million to fund the Jesus Film. The very next year, they go bankrupt. When asked if they regretted it, they said it was the best investment they ever made—because 45 years later, 650 million people have said “I’ll follow Jesus” after watching that film. That’s what Kingdom generosity looks like.

The Generosity Revolution: Rediscovering the DNA of Gospel Patrons
What if the most powerful force for global Kingdom impact isn't in the pulpit—it's in the marketplace? Host Justin Forman sits down with John Rinehart, author and founder of Gospel Patrons, to trace the remarkable thread of God-fueled generosity that runs from the early church all the way to modern entrepreneurs. From William Tyndale's cloth merchant patron to the couple who funded the Jesus Film and went bankrupt the very next year, this conversation unearths the stories that prove one thing: when you give to the Kingdom of God, losing is impossible.
John shares his own journey—from a 25-year-old businessman asking "what's all this for?" to circling the globe for 132 days to discover what it means to be a gospel patron. Together, he and Justin wrestle with the three enemies of Christian generosity, expose the subtle lies of the world's definition of wealth, and reveal how focused, intentional giving is the quickest path to joy there is.
