01 — Our mission

The mission behind the mic

CAB Talk — Christ Above Business is a faith-based nonprofit using media, leadership, and outreach to strengthen faith, families, businesses, and communities.

Christ is the foundation.

Family is the reason.

Business is the tool.

Serving others is the mission.

The vision

Two worlds. One conversation.

Business and faith podcasts are common. Few bring both together through honest conversations and community impact.

Business doesn’t have to replace faith. It can serve others. That conviction drives the show and the people and businesses behind it.

02 — The four pillars

What every conversation stands on

Four pillars guide every episode, program, and partnership.

Christ

Faith, character, purpose, and spiritual leadership.

Family

Stronger marriages, fatherhood, parenting, and generational legacy.

Business

Integrity, leadership, service, and purpose in the workplace.

Community

Mentoring, serving, and meeting real needs in our communities.

03 — The podcast

What you’ll hear

CAB Talk brings business and faith together through honest conversations rooted in work and life.

How the show reaches people

The media arm shares the mission where conversations already happen:

What every episode covers

Conversations rotate through the four pillars:

  • Faith, character, and purpose under pressure
  • Strong marriages, fatherhood, and family legacy
  • Integrity, leadership, and service in the workplace
  • Mentoring and meeting real needs in the community

Season one is in production. New episodes will appear here as they’re released.

Kirt McFarland

Co-host of CAB Talk — Christ Above Business

From the driver’s seat
Years in business and leadership ground his “real talk” in the daily pressures of customers, payroll, and leading people well.
Founded on scripture
CAB Talk stands on Proverbs 14:23 and closes the gap between talk and work.
Built for all four pillars
Every episode points toward stronger faith, families, businesses, and communities.
