From Sunday to Systems — Chris Young on Building a Kingdom Operating System for Your Business. (S5E14)
The Shepherd at Work
Friday, April 3, 2026 - 26 minutes
Many people attend church every week…
but never fully understand how to apply what they’ve learned to their business.
What if you could?
What if the principles you hear on Sunday
actually shaped how you lead on Monday?
In this episode, Krystal sits down with Chris Young, President of The Good Place Institute, for a conversation that will completely reframe how you think about business, culture, and Kingdom impact.
Because here’s the truth:
Most leaders don’t lack faith.
They lack a framework.
Chris has spent over two decades developing what many leaders have been missing—a Kingdom-focused operating system that integrates biblical principles directly into how organizations are built, led, and sustained.
Not sprinkled on top.
Not added later.
Fully integrated.
Through the Good Place Operating System, Chris helps leaders build organizations where:
- People truly flourish
- Businesses thrive economically
- Communities are impacted in meaningful ways
He calls these “Good Place organizations.”
And once you understand what that means—you’ll never look at business the same way again.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why most leaders struggle to apply faith in practical business settings
- What it actually looks like to build a Kingdom-driven culture
- How to create an organization where people and performance both thrive
Chris brings deep experience across leadership, strategy, and organizational design—serving in senior roles across for-profit and nonprofit organizations, both domestically and internationally. He is also co-author of The Good Place Organization and has helped leaders build businesses that align with God’s design for work, people, and community.
This isn’t theory.
This is a system.
Because business was never meant to be separate from calling.
It was meant to be a place where people flourish, communities prosper, and God’s Kingdom is advanced.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to your work…
If you’ve struggled to connect your faith to your leadership…
If you’re ready to build something deeper—
This episode will open your eyes.
You’ll have the opportunity to meet Chris Young and his team in person at SWC 2026—and experience what it looks like to build a truly integrated, Kingdom-driven organization.
