From Near Death to City Renewal - Tom Stansbury - 2000 Cubit Rule

Описание: What if the future of a city is not waiting on a major corporation, but rising up through local entrepreneurs?

In this episode of the 2000 Cubit Rule, Mark Rowan sits down with Tom Stansbury, a marketplace missionary with a deep passion for discipleship through business. Tom shares his journey from the Jesus Movement days of being discipled in entrepreneurial community, to launching startups, to a life-altering battle with COVID that became a turning point of surrender, healing, and purpose.

Now Tom is working to pilot a “bottom-up” model of economic development in Petersburg, Virginia, helping small and medium-sized enterprises launch and grow as a pathway to restoring communities. You’ll hear about Startup America, why local enterprise can change a region’s economic well being, and how faith, leadership, and even AI can become tools to rebuild what feels broken.

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, founder, or leader who wants to follow God’s presence in real life decisions (not just Sunday language), this conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and widen your vision for what business can do in a city.

Connect with Tom on LinkedIn, and keep an eye out for StartupAmerica.tv.

SheepFeast reminder: We serve Christian entrepreneurs by helping simplify your tech stack (CRM, communication, and marketing) so fewer opportunities fall through the cracks.
