Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.
Ps 127:1–2.
Welcome to the Around The Upstate Podcast!
Giving Local Christian Businesses a Voice
The podcast is a weekly exploration into the stories that shape Upstate South Carolina’s vibrant Christian Business Community. Each episode, we spotlight local Christian-owned businesses, uncovering the challenges they've faced, the triumphs they've achieved, and how they connect with the growing region.
Through a mix of local storytelling, community credibility, and innovative technology, we highlight the Christian businesses that are making a difference, while providing insights on how to navigate the evolving landscape of marketing and customer engagement in the age of AI - with faith, hope, and love.
If you are part of a faith-driven business or ministry, we invite you to join us as a featured guest as we amplify the voices of Christian-owned businesses and faith-driven entrepreneurs in our community - building a stronger, God-centered marketplace across the Upstate.
