What happens when a Christian entrepreneur grows a successful company—only to face losing its God-centered culture after stepping aside? That’s exactly where Steve Bock of Subsentio found himself.

In this episode of iWork4Him, Steve shares his journey from building a thriving telecom compliance company after 9/11, to being pushed out by investors, to watching the mission and values of his business start to unravel. But God had other plans.

Through prayer, perseverance, and divine connections, Steve was introduced to Perpetuate Capital—a firm dedicated to helping faith-driven leaders sell their businesses without sacrificing their Kingdom culture. With their guidance, Steve transitioned Subsentio into an ESOP, Employe Stock Ownership Plan, protecting the mission, blessing his employees, and multiplying Kingdom impact for generations to come.

And here’s the good news for business owners: with an ESOP, you don’t have to sacrifice your financial future. Owners can retire with meaningful returns from their life’s work, while employees step into ownership and share in the growth they help create.

You’ll hear:

How God used Steve’s personal faith journey to reshape his leadership

The dangers of selling a Christian-led company to traditional private equity

Why Perpetuate Capital’s ESOP approach preserves Kingdom culture and provides retirement returns for owners

How Subsentio is now positioned to impact lives, law enforcement, and ministries around the world—long after Steve’s retirement

The value of joining Christian groups, like C12, that give business leaders a like-minded leadership community
