Marketplace Ministry Coach
Two Decades of Leadership.
One Clear Calling.
Matthew Smoler
Marketplace Ministry Coach
For more than two decades, I served alongside influential Christian leaders — helping build teams, raise up emerging leaders, and strengthen communities through servant leadership work that reached thousands of people across the country.
One of the most formative chapters of that journey was from 2009–2015, working closely with Bill McCartney (1940–2025) — legendary University of Colorado football coach and founder of Promise Keepers. Those years planted a powerful foundation of understanding what leadership really costs, what it demands, and what it looks like when it is built on conviction rather than ambition.
But somewhere in the middle of building other people’s visions, I quietly sidelined the entrepreneurial calling God had placed inside me. Ministry culture taught me — mostly without words — that ambition was suspect. That builders were self-serving. That the most faithful thing to do was serve someone else’s vision.
I believed that far longer than I should have.
Eventually I had to face an honest reality: Was I genuinely serving others — or was I avoiding the risk and responsibility of my own calling? When I decided to own my part, that changed everything. I came to understand that entrepreneurship is not a distraction from calling. For many of us, it is one of its clearest expressions.
Today I work with kingdom-minded entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders who are done settling and ready to build with clarity, conviction, and courage. I am not here to motivate you. I am here to challenge you, sharpen your thinking, and help you build something worth leaving behind.

For Leaders Who Build for the Glory of God
Our Creed
Show Up
I commit to being present — body, mind, and spirit — at every gathering. My spot is not optional. My circle is counting on my presence, not just my intentions. When I sit in this room, I declare that the circle is worth my time, my sacrifice, and my full attention.
Be Coached
I will engage every coaching call with honesty and humility. I will not perform. I will not hide behind titles or strategies. I will bring the real challenges — and I will let truth do its work in me. Pride is the enemy of growth. I choose growth.
Stand With My Circle
The leaders in this circle are not my competition. They are my kingdom family. I will celebrate their wins as if they were my own. I will speak hard truths with grace when they need it. I will pray for them in and between sessions, and fight for their calling as seriously as I fight for mine.
Walk in Integrity
What I say in this room, I will do in my life by the grace of God. My commitments are not suggestions — they are declarations before God and these leaders. And when I fall short, I will return with honesty, not excuses, and begin again. Integrity is not perfection. It is the relentless return to what is true and right.
Build for the Kingdom
My ministry. My business. My family. My leadership. None of it belongs to me. It is a stewardship — a sacred trust given by God for His purposes and His glory. I will build with humility, lead with character, and measure success not by what I accumulate, but by what I multiply in the lives of others and the advancement of His Kingdom purposes.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17
