In this episode, Stephen Carter sits down with Amir Mahadi, Founder and CEO of Joshua Expeditions, to unpack how a nonprofit Christian travel organization launched in 1997 has grown into a global, mission-driven partner for hundreds of Christian schools. Amir shares his story of blending business ownership with deep dependence on God, why JE is “mission first, travel second,” and how student trips can become catalysts for calling, leadership, and even entrepreneurial thinking. They discuss JE’s new London office, post-trip momentum for schools, limiting digital distractions on trips, and the big idea that business and ministry are not rivals — they’re allies in the Kingdom. If you’re a Christian school leader building entrepreneurship, global leadership, or missional programs, this conversation will help you see how travel, faith, and an entrepreneurial mindset can all live in the same lane.
