Course Objectives
These modular courses will work on breaking down the sacred vs. secular divide to develop a Biblical worldview of business and mentorship development. From that foundation, we will build the basic skill sets on identifying sustainable business models for the potential of launching.
Participants will combine both the theory and practice of business planning, testing, and development. You will also advance abilities to assess market needs and develop a process for testing profitable and innovative solutions to those problems.
Cohorts will also develop basic skills in pricing, costing, money management, marketing, and other operational management skills required in the discipline of entrepreneurship.

Christian Professional & Entrepreneur Reviews
Prior to the BE course, I was part of four other Entrepreneurship modules and I can say with confidence that the BE course was by far the best course that i took. As an Entrepreneur who tries to bring different pieces together, sometimes rather chaotically, I found the methodology embedded in BE- Disciplined Entrepreneurship to be methodical and orderly. I also really admire the commitment and the expertise of the trainers as well
KIBIR’s Biblical Entrepreneurship course was extremely influential in our journey to starting a business. The Biblical foundation, high-quality instruction, and thorough content and feedback provided the resources we needed to get started. Without this course, we would have been much less clear on the direction of our business and it would have taken us much longer to get started.
The course was a critical step on our entrepreneurial journey and gave us a strong foundation for launching our business before we moved overseas. The course pushed us to plan, strategize, and research far more than we had planned, but after arriving overseas we were thankful for the breadth of depth of preparation the course asked of us. Now overseas and starting our business, we have found ourselves consistently referring back to the documents and research we prepared during the course. We are grateful for how well it prepared us to dive into our new business venture.
