The Power of Prayer and Business: Ryan Skoog and Marketplace Mission

The Power of Prayer and Business: Ryan Skoog and Marketplace Mission

Faith Ventures welcomes Ryan Skoog—serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and passionate advocate for melding business with kingdom impact. Faith Ventures is also proud to introduce our new co-host of the podcast Matthew Bellis, whom many listeners will recognize from our previous Good News Bad News show at LCI.

Ryan shares his unique journey from growing up in a family steeped in the travel industry and missionary work to founding multiple travel-centric businesses that serve churches, mission groups, and humanitarian organizations globally. But Ryan’s story doesn’t stop at entrepreneurial success. He’s also the co-founder of the nonprofit Venture, which operates in the world’s toughest places—“unsafe, unreached, and unresourced” communities—bringing hope, humanitarian aid, and the gospel where it’s needed most.

Together, Matthew and Ryan discuss how integrating prayer, purpose, and generosity can transform a business into a vehicle for bringing even greater change to the world. Ryan reveals the foundation of his global impact, the lessons he’s learned from witnessing the explosive growth of the church in perilous places, and why he believes prayer should be at the heart of every leader’s life. Ryan also introduces us to his new book, Lead with Prayer, co-authored with Peter Greer and Cameron Doolittle—an inspiring guide that uncovers the common threads of prayerful leadership among world-changing Christian leaders.

Whether you’re a business owner, ministry leader, or someone searching for a deeper purpose in your daily work, this episode is packed with wisdom, practical strategies, and encouragement for the future.
