Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It
Speaker 1: it's time now for our community connection right here on
Speaker 1: K one, the one you trust and our program is
Speaker 1: being brought to you by Wesley and Kiddy College, also
Speaker 1: Tall Grass Voters, and we have Lucas Needles and Caleb
Speaker 1: Gordon in house today.
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, how are we fantastic? Are you?
Speaker 1: You know what? It's Monday, the sun is shining, I'm
Speaker 1: above Grass.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 1: Come on, yes, yeah, go, and you guys are going
Speaker 1: to make things a little bit better. You've got a
Speaker 1: little business network you'd like tell us about.
Speaker 3: So initially, as we were saying our off air, so
Speaker 3: basically this thing kicked off this last Christmas. In my mind,
Speaker 3: Lucas and I met each other down at the Christmas
Speaker 3: in the villa and we were talking about some different
Speaker 3: things and we're like, man, this is this is what
Speaker 3: we should be doing as Christians. Is we should be
Speaker 3: standing firm in the public square and using our gifts,
Speaker 3: our talents, our abilities to do what God's called us
Speaker 3: to do and the places where we are and that
Speaker 3: we as Christian business leaders can absolutely make a genuine
Speaker 3: impact on the culture for the betterment of mankind and
Speaker 3: for the glory of God.
Speaker 2: So that's that's the basic idea.
Speaker 1: Wow. So what's the name of your network?
Speaker 4: The business Makers Network?
Speaker 3: Business Makers Network, and so this I would just say
Speaker 3: this was not initiated or originated by me or Lucas.
Speaker 3: We have a mutual friend. His name is Gab Brench
Speaker 3: and Gabe is doing this nationally. He's working through He's
Speaker 3: just in Nashville and he's just a friend of mine
Speaker 3: and he has all the resources and the connections. In fact,
Speaker 3: he was just doing an event in Nashville that was
Speaker 3: connected with Tucker Carlson. So I mean he's got he's
Speaker 3: got access to some bigger names and some bigger groups.
Speaker 2: And so he's been to Bartleswew one other time and
Speaker 2: we talk almost on a weekly basis, and he's we
Speaker 2: should do one in Bartlezow said, I'd love that. That would
Speaker 2: be fantastic.
Speaker 3: This was something that Lucas and I had talked about,
Speaker 3: wanting to try to figure out how we can get
Speaker 3: other Christians connected, network together to lock shields, to say,
Speaker 3: how can we advance the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus
Speaker 3: in the places where we walk, the places where we work,
Speaker 3: to help humanity, you know, to bring edify human beings,
Speaker 3: but ultimately to bring glory to God.
Speaker 1: No. I think when Lucas was here, just just a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we're talking about the importance of
Speaker 1: partnerships all the way around, and this just seems to
Speaker 1: make sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we can do a lot on our own,
Speaker 4: in our own households, in our community, but we can
Speaker 4: do a lot more when we work together and make
Speaker 4: a bigger impact.
Speaker 2: And so that's really the.
Speaker 4: Idea is, you know, we have shared values, we have
Speaker 4: shared faith.
Speaker 2: Let's use.
Speaker 4: The expertise of others to advance a good message and
Speaker 4: create a bigger impact.
Speaker 1: Now we were talking talking about businesses who are Christian, Bain.
Speaker 1: We got a couple right here in Bartlesville, Wow, that
Speaker 1: have a big national names. But we also have great
Speaker 1: local businesses who share the same idea. And it's not
Speaker 1: a bad thing to come out to the forefront and
Speaker 1: say here, I am, let's be counted, let's work together.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, Well, that's the idea is that we as Christians,
Speaker 3: we lock shields.
Speaker 2: And this is one of the things that gave us
Speaker 2: talking about with.
Speaker 3: Me a couple of weeks ago, is COVID really opened
Speaker 3: the eyes of a lot of people that man, we're
Speaker 3: we can get locked.
Speaker 2: Down pretty pretty quickly.
Speaker 3: And the idea is, rather than being constrained or bottlenecked
Speaker 3: by certain businesses and certain commerces, what if we work
Speaker 3: together so that we don't have to be locked down
Speaker 3: for certain things.
Speaker 2: We can work.
Speaker 3: I can go to Lucas and Lucas can come to
Speaker 3: me and we can say, Okay, how can we help
Speaker 3: one another and and not have to be constrained by
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: And that that's the idea.
Speaker 1: I think it's written in a book somewhere that is
Speaker 1: what but the brothers and sisters of Christ do on
Speaker 1: a daily basis should.
Speaker 2: Be at least that should be Yes, definitely.
Speaker 1: But you're bringing it to the forefront and you're you're
Speaker 1: putting the spotlight on it, and you're bringing awareness to.
Speaker 2: Where we should be right well.
Speaker 3: And the idea is is if we can network and
Speaker 3: fellowship together through these through this event that we're working through, and.
Speaker 2: We we learn things about one another.
Speaker 3: Maybe I didn't you know you've got a business that
Speaker 3: I didn't know about, or you have something that you're
Speaker 3: doing that I didn't know about, or you I'm doing
Speaker 3: something you didn't know about.
Speaker 2: And we figured this out together.
Speaker 3: Like, oh man, that would be a great fit to
Speaker 3: do this, you know, maybe together together.
Speaker 2: And so that's the idea.
Speaker 3: And Lucas and I have been He's partnered with with
Speaker 3: me in terms of his what he does with Rebail
Speaker 3: Financial and and they do great work. They do, they
Speaker 3: do fantastic stuff. And I'm constantly pointing people towards us.
Speaker 3: If you have any financial goals, what's your plans for
Speaker 3: everybody should have a plan, right, what's your plan for
Speaker 3: leaving a legacy for your family, for your kids, your namesake? Right,
Speaker 3: all these different things that are laid out. What are
Speaker 3: you doing to leave a legacy? And ultimately, what are
Speaker 3: you doing to advance the kingdom? And if you're not,
Speaker 3: if you're not doing those things, maybe you should maybe
Speaker 3: should consider doing that. And so that's what Luke's focus
Speaker 3: is and that's the reason I connect so well with him,
Speaker 3: because I'm like, let's do this together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Now we've got an event that's coming up here shortly.
Speaker 1: You need tell us a little bit about it. So
Speaker 1: maybe folks can be aware and know a lot more
Speaker 1: about the network.
Speaker 3: So it's called the Business Makers Network, and so you
Speaker 3: can go to I got my notes here. It's actually
Speaker 3: business Makers Dot Network is the website and you can
Speaker 3: go to events and you can click on the Bartlesville
Speaker 3: link and you can see all the speakers.
Speaker 2: Like Kevin Potter is going to be one of our speakers.
Speaker 3: We've got a list of great CEOs and business owners
Speaker 3: that are going to just give insight into what how
Speaker 3: to run a business and how to use the business
Speaker 3: to bring glory to God and help the community locally
Speaker 3: and do the work of missions and advancing the gospel
Speaker 3: through commerce.
Speaker 2: And so that's the idea we.
Speaker 1: Got good one. And Kevin, you know, he and Dorry
Speaker 1: you have a business called KCD Enterprises. And I asked him,
Speaker 1: he said, what does that mean. He says, well, that's Kevin,
Speaker 1: that's Dory. But he said, the see is Christ. Christ
Speaker 1: is the center yeah everything.
Speaker 3: And that's the one thing I love about Kevin and
Speaker 3: Dorry both man.
Speaker 2: I've known them.
Speaker 3: Goodness, gracious, I've been I was telling your off air
Speaker 3: I've been sitting in this particular studio off and on
Speaker 3: for almost twenty something years. And yeah, help with consumer calls.
Speaker 3: I've done all these different things. And that's the one
Speaker 3: thing I love about Kevin and Dorry both is they
Speaker 3: have such a desire to see Christ made much of
Speaker 3: in the community, and that is that is vital. And
Speaker 3: if we, as other Christian businesses decide, okay, we want
Speaker 3: to lock arms and do that exact same thing, it
Speaker 3: actually can transform how we move and have our being.
Speaker 1: Indeed, this is really gonna be neat. So this is
Speaker 1: coming up on Thursday evening and Friday morning. And what's
Speaker 1: what's the venue again?
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be at Frankie Peece.
Speaker 3: It's a smaller venue, but it's it's a more intimate
Speaker 3: setting and so there's a limited amount of seats, but
Speaker 3: that's good for the event. For the event right right
Speaker 3: here in Bartlesville. So it's Frankie Peece. And if you
Speaker 3: need information, we can get we can get all that
Speaker 3: information to you. But you can check out Businessmakers dot
Speaker 3: Network and just look on the Bartlesville link and it'll
Speaker 3: give you all the details.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little news story on this afterwards,
Speaker 1: so maybe early afternoon. It'll be out there on our
Speaker 1: website and folks can find that link and they can
Speaker 1: find out more about what's going on with this amazing
Speaker 1: network where eating right here in Bartlesville.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, absolutely So.
Speaker 1: How many folks do you have already asked you about this?
Speaker 2: Well, we've had a couple. I mean there's I mean
Speaker 2: it's a hard Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's a hard metric to try to figure out because
Speaker 3: you know, here's what I've seen historically when you put
Speaker 3: on events like this, especially in Bartlesvielle, you don't normally
Speaker 3: get much traction until about a week until the event.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh that's they digest right, right right.
Speaker 3: And so that's the idea is coming on here a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks earlier, saying hey, put this on your calendar,
Speaker 3: come out and hang out with some other Christian brothers
Speaker 3: and sisters and connect, network and figure out how you
Speaker 3: can make an impact.
Speaker 1: Now this is going to be June nineteenth, June twentieth.
Speaker 1: Then it's a Thursday evening and a Friday morning morning.
Speaker 1: And this is where you can find out, as a
Speaker 1: Christian business, how you can make an impact right here
Speaker 1: in our community.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 1: I know we've got people kind of hearing this as
Speaker 1: they're work and they're going, well, that sounds pretty good. Well,
Speaker 1: we can probably have you on again here before too long. Yes,
Speaker 1: get you a little bit more time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Even if you don't specifically own a business, this
Speaker 4: is valuable to you. You will walk away with some
Speaker 4: action items. You will walk away with some marching orders,
Speaker 4: so to speak. To make an impact, even as an employee,
Speaker 4: you can network with other people who are like minded,
Speaker 4: who are focused on glorifying God. You know, God owns
Speaker 4: it all well, yeah, and so he even owns the
Speaker 4: businesses that we create and run. So the question is
Speaker 4: less what can I do with my business? It's what
Speaker 4: can I do with God's gifts that He's given to
Speaker 4: me as a steward to bring.
Speaker 2: Glory to Him.
Speaker 4: And when we start asking those questions, we really have to,
Speaker 4: you know, pray about it, search the word, and work
Speaker 4: with like minded individuals, brothers and sisters in Christ, and
Speaker 4: just watch God work. He benefits our communities, but He
Speaker 4: also benef fits us and our families. God blesses without measure,
Speaker 4: He pours it on. And so I think what we're
Speaker 4: looking to do is seek the benefit of brotherhood and
Speaker 4: sisterhood in Christ, leverage each other's experience, and then go
Speaker 4: out and put it to action.
Speaker 1: Well, this sounds like a great starting point once again, folks.
Speaker 1: That is on Thursday evening June nineteenth and Friday morning,
Speaker 1: June twentieth, and this would be a.
Speaker 3: Frankie Pee Frankie peace right caddy corner from Lollipops.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what fireplace there?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's going to be easy to find, it's
Speaker 1: going to be an intimate setting, and it's going to
Speaker 1: be a great place to hear some really good news.
Speaker 2: It is gonna be good news, good networking. You're gonna
Speaker 2: hear good speakers that are just going to.
Speaker 3: Give you solid biblical information to do things that glorify
Speaker 3: his name.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, I can't wait to get you back
Speaker 1: on again before we do this, and we'll we'll make
Speaker 1: sure that we pop this out on the website and
Speaker 1: folks will be able to at least go to that
Speaker 1: link and find a little bit more the one you
Speaker 1: just mentioned earlier and also maybe get a little bit
Speaker 1: more insight into this. I know some folks are right
Speaker 1: now saying, well, that sounds pretty good. I think I'd
Speaker 1: like to go. Well, hopefully if you read up on
Speaker 1: it a little bit more, you will be thinking about
Speaker 1: it you'll just be.
Speaker 2: Going to just click the button and let's go. Let's go.
