God, Money, & Purpose | Mike Levkulich #40

What happens when a pastor's kid becomes a business owner and tithes on his company during a pandemic shutdown? Mike Levkulich shares his remarkable journey of faith, favor, and entrepreneurship, from homeschooling in Pennsylvania to launching his own landscape architecture firm in Dallas.
In this powerful conversation, Mike reveals how putting God's will first in every major decision has opened doors he never imagined. You'll hear about the moment he decided to tithe 10% of his business gross income during COVID—and the phone call that changed everything just days later.

🎯 This episode is for you if:
You're a Christian entrepreneur navigating faith and business decisions
You're wondering if your calling to business is as valuable as ministry
You're struggling with tithing or financial obedience in your business
You're a parent raising kids (especially homeschoolers or PKs) with strong values
You need encouragement that God's favor is real when you seek His will first
You're considering starting your own business but need faith to take the leap
