What happens when your entire life plan is interrupted by a head-on collision and eight years of learning to walk again? In this episode of the Christian Business Growth Podcast, Mike Emery from TriWealth shares how God used a devastating car crash, a college house hack, and a winding path through automotive and trucking to lead him into his Kingdom calling as a financial advisor.
Mike and I talk about how God was working behind the scenes through every “random” connection, from roommates and renters to high-level advisors and church relationships. You will hear how the Lord used simple obedience, favor, and faithfully showing up to place Mike on a team that serves families and businesses with wisdom, generosity, and integrity.
In this episode, we cover:
-
How a college real estate decision kept Mike afloat through an eight-year recovery
-
The long road from automotive and trucking into financial services
-
The power of God-ordained connections and why relationships matter more than transactions
-
Why “stay engaged” is Mike’s core business growth strategy
-
How daily learning, better processes, and mentoring others can transform your business
-
A simple way to think about integrity, trust, and keeping your word
-
One final piece of wisdom: using every gift, resource, and opportunity as a good steward before God
If you have ever felt like your path was too broken or too crooked for God to use, Mike’s story will encourage you. God wastes nothing, and He is often working in the background long before we see the full picture.
