Beyond Direct Trade: A New Mission for Business
Mon Feb 02 2026
Discover how a former Nike executive traded a corporate career for a "beyond direct trade" coffee mission. In this episode, Matt Markley shares his journey of launching Lost and Found Coffee, a business built on radical obedience to a divine calling: "Coffee is no longer to simply keep congregations awake on Sundays".
Learn how Matt is redefining Business as Mission (BAM) by moving past standard industry practices to build deep, personal relationships with farmers in Central America. We explore the power of storytelling through media, the impact of "loving with your feet" through service trips, and how following God's "breadcrumbs" can lead you to a path of purpose and impact. Whether you are a kingdom employee or an aspiring entrepreneur, this conversation will challenge you to see your vocation as a vehicle for the Great Commission
