About
What happens when your identity is shaken to the core—but God uses it to ignite a national movement?
Mina Carlson, co-founder of the Arizona Christian Chamber of Commerce and SVP of the U.S. Christian Chamber Coalition, shares her powerful journey of resilience, faith, and Kingdom purpose. From leading startups to $25M+ in revenue to advising billion-dollar corporations, Mina was already a seasoned leader. But it was her personal story—one that rocked her sense of identity—that God used to birth a vision much larger than herself.
Today, Arizona is not just her home; it’s a hub of Kingdom commerce and the birthplace of a movement that’s spreading across America. With the Christian Chamber Coalition now helping launch chambers coast to coast, Mina is equipping leaders to grow stronger businesses, advance God’s Kingdom, and transform cities.
In this episode, we cover:
Mina’s personal story of resilience and rediscovering her true identity in Christ
How Arizona has become a launching ground for national Kingdom impact
Why Christian chambers matter now more than ever
The bold vision of uniting marketplace believers from Arizona to America
Practical lessons for leaders navigating faith, business, and cultural headwinds
If you’ve ever wondered how God can use your personal pain to fuel a movement that transforms cities and nations, Mina’s story will inspire you to rise up and step into your Kingdom calling.
