Real change doesn’t start on a stage — it starts in the heart of a man. In this episode of The Bizzin Podcast, Des-lie and Christiaan Blignaut dive into the story and heart behind Zeal Men’s Ministry. What began as a small group of men meeting weekly and doing something adventurous grew into a touch rugby league in Blanco, an NPC, and a movement focused on one of the greatest challenges of our time: fatherlessness. Christiaan shares his passion for pioneering — being on the frontier and starting something meaningful — while also speaking honestly about the humility required to step aside and allow others to lead. He reflects on the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and trusting them to carry the vision forward. They discuss the role of local businesses in caring for their communities, investing in people, and creating spaces where men can grow, belong, and heal. Christiaan emphasizes that the fight against fatherlessness begins with personal responsibility — dealing with your own hurt and trauma so you can become healthier in your life, your home, and your leadership. A deeply impactful conversation about humility, community, and the courage to start with yourself — powered by Bizzin.

Some foundations are laid long before we recognise them — and some callings run deeper than career. In this episode of The Bizzin Podcast, Des-lie speaks with Christiaan Blignaut, Partner at the George Animal Clinic and Founder of Zeal Men’s Ministry, about a life shaped by mission, identity, and generational purpose. Raised in a missionary household with four brothers, Christiaan’s upbringing was built outdoors, in service, and in simplicity — a foundation he only realised the value of much later. With a great-grandfather who became a missionary and every generation after stepping into ministry through their professions, Christiaan continues the legacy by helping men rediscover Godly identity through Zeal, a ministry addressing one of the biggest challenges of our time: fatherlessness. He shares the pivotal moment when a teacher called out a higher identity in him — a reminder of how one voice of belief can shape a man’s future. Christiaan opens up about balancing family, work, and ministry, the danger of passions pulling us in every direction, and the importance of building a marriage that allows your spouse to flourish. A deeply moving conversation about identity, legacy, calling, and becoming the man you were created to be — powered by Bizzin.

They explore how Smash brings kids, parents, and schools together around a simple idea: cricket should be fun.
