'Be strong and courageous.' - Joshua 1:9

Your Business.
His Foundation.

Ignite Faith Bound Leadership exists for the Christian small business owner who is ready to stop leading from exhaustion and start building from a firm foundation. God is our cornerstone. Everything we do flows from that.

Diane Erdman, Founder of Ignite FBL

Leading From Calling

Hi, I am Diane.

I spent nearly 30 years in People and Culture leadership inside Fortune 500 companies. I have sat in the boardroom, built the systems, led the teams, and felt every bit of the tension between who I was called to be and what the business demanded of me.

What I know for certain: God did not design you to lead from exhaustion. He designed you to lead from clarity, from calling, and from a foundation that holds when everything else feels like it is falling apart.

Ignite Faith Bound Leadership exists to give Christian small business owners the support and resources to thrive -- not just survive. Because what you are building matters. And you were not meant to build it alone.

The Clarity to Make Bold Decisions

“Diane helped me become the leader I knew I could be. Through her coaching, I gained the confidence and clarity to make bold decisions, lead through uncertainty, and strengthen my leadership voice, all while staying aligned with my core values.”

Leading From Clarity

Hi, I am Brian.

Over thirty years of financial and operational leadership took me through companies like Target, Walt Disney World, and Sun Country Airlines. I led analysis teams for organizations ranging from $60 million to $600 million. Somewhere along the way, the size of the company stopped impressing me. The real weight showed up in small and mid-size businesses, where owners agonize over every decision because there's no cushion to fall back on.

I watched talented, God-gifted business owners undercharge, overwork, and wonder why the math never added up, with no one beside them to help them see it clearly. A business built on guesswork will always feel shaky, no matter how the year looks on paper. God did not design you to run on instinct. He designed you to lead from a clear process and a foundation that holds.

Big companies surround their CEO with a bench of experienced professionals. Called to Lead exists so Christian small business owners have that same access. Diane brings the people and culture side. I bring the finance and process side. And beyond us, a network of strategic advisors rounds out the gifts your business needs. Together, we are in your corner, building your business on God's solid foundation.

The Skills to Lead with Confidence

"I was given the opportunity through Brian's leadership to rebuild my financial skills, my leadership abilities, and my confidence. That confidence helped me become a successful financial professional"

How We Walk With You?

Whatever season you're in, there's a next step built for it: a 90-day mastermind, a focused day with two advisors, or an ongoing partner who knows your business and holds you to your calling.

01

Called to Lead - Mastermind

A 90-day mastermind for Christian business owners with a team, who built something meaningful and are ready to lead it from conviction instead of survival.

It starts with a free 2-hour session, where you walk away with a diagnostic for your business, a tool you'll actually use, not a handout.

02

Called to Lead - VIP Day

One private day in-person. Two business advisors. Built for the owner ready to step into leadership or build out a real growth plan.

You leave with a written roadmap for the next 12-months of your values, your purpose, and your next concrete steps, with Christ at the center of all of it.

03

Ignite Legacy Advisory

God designed you with gifts. He also designed you to need others.

Strategic advisory service that operates like a board of directors for your growing business, meeting quarterly to stay on track and achieve your strategic plan, and connecting you to subject matter experts who include and extend beyond Diane and Brian

Faith and Business, Done Right

"Diane and Brian bring tremendous value. They have a rare ability to integrate faith and business in a way that's both practical and meaningful. They're a strong team, and genuinely great People, which is harder to find than it should be."

A Room Like No Other

"The experience was fantastic. The people they brought into the room were incredible. It's not often you find a group like that. They really nailed it."

A Difference You Feel Immediately

"What stood out most was how naturally faith was integrated into the experience. There's something different about being in a room with other believers. You feel it immediately."

A Leader Who Sees You

"Diane is incredibly intentional in how she connects people. She's thoughtful, relational, and consistently looking out for others, even when they're not in the room."

Simple, Not Shallow

"The program is thoughtful and well-designed. The Clarity, Capacity, and Calling framework makes it simple without being shallow. It really helps you see where you're stuck and what to do next."

A Space Built on Trust

"It's rare to be in a space where everyone genuinely has each other's best interests at heart. That alone makes this experience different."

The Energy That Changes the Room

"They bring a level of energy and positivity that's hard to explain. It's something you feel right away. It changes how people show up and engage."

Your Calling Is Worth Fighting For.

Stop letting the chaos of the business steal the joy of the calling. There is a way forward. And you do not have to find it alone.
