Description:

In Episode 53 of The Christian Capitalist, Rich Sanders sits down with Lauren Ewashko, Community Engagement Officer for Advanced Sacred Hope Academy (ASHA) in Destin, Florida, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about faith, generosity, and discovering purpose through life's hardest seasons.

Lauren shares her journey from serving in the Air Force, to traveling the world as a professional model, to living minimally out of a backpack—and how those experiences shaped her philosophy on giving, faith, and freedom. After the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Lauren found herself at a crossroads. What followed was a powerful transformation that led her to a life centered around service, community, and helping children with neurological and behavioral differences at ASHA.

Throughout the episode, Lauren explains her concept of "the law of use," how giving when it hurts can open unexpected doors, and how God can turn grief into a calling that blesses others. She also shares the story behind the Midsummer Night's Dream Charity Soirée, an event she organized to fund an inclusive sensory playground for the children at ASHA's new campus.

This episode is a moving reminder that Christian capitalism isn't just about earning—it's about using what you have to create impact, walk in faith, and be a blessing to others.

In Episode 51 of The Christian Capitalist, Rich Sanders sits down with Avery Ratzlaff, a campus missionary serving international students at Arizona State University through International Students Incorporated (ISI).

What started as a simple conversation over lunch turned into a powerful look at modern missions—happening not overseas, but right in our own backyard. Avery shares her journey from Colorado to Arizona, to full-time ministry, and how God is using everyday relationships to reach students from all over the world.

This conversation explores faith lived boldly, the power of friendship-based ministry, serving across cultures, and why international students are often more open than ever to spiritual conversations. Avery also unpacks the realities of support-based ministry, obedience over comfort, and what it truly means to take Jesus to work with you every day.

This episode is a compelling reminder that the Great Commission doesn't require a passport—just availability, courage, and love.
