In this powerful episode of Munira’s Musings, Munira sits down with John "JR" Rennie, former CEO of a software development company who, after facing major financial setbacks in 2015, found a deeper calling and founded a purpose-driven ministry in 2017.
JR shares his journey of transformation, from corporate success to spiritual leadership, and how he now uses psychometric assessments, coaching, and curriculum-based resources to help individuals discover their God-given roles for a joyful and fulfilled life.
🔑 3 Key Takeaways:

Start With ‘Why’: JR’s story reminds us that every business or ministry needs a strong foundation built on purpose.
Before launching any venture, ask yourself: Why am I doing this?
Who am I called to serve?
Turn Trials into Testimony: Difficult seasons, like financial loss, can birth clarity and vision. Your lowest points may lead you to your highest calling.
Build a Scalable Model: Whether in ministry or business, think ahead and create resources (books, videos, assessments) that can scale and serve globally.
Stay in Your Genius Zone: JR admits marketing isn’t his strength—and that’s okay.
Focus on your gifts and find strategic partners to fill the gaps
Tune in to hear JR’s heartfelt insights on purpose, faith, and leadership—and how anyone can begin a business journey rooted in their “why.”
