7 MINUTES OF TRUTH
First seek the
Kingdom of God
through the
Word of God.
Seven minutes. One truth at a time.
7 Minutes of Truth with Leray Heyne brings the Word of God directly into the decisions, responsibilities and challenges of leading a company.
Why this exists
The Institute exists because business belongs to Jesus Christ
7 Minutes of Truth with Leray Heyne brings the Word of God directly into the decisions, responsibilities and challenges of leading a company.
This is not about adding Jesus Christ to the business.
It begins with recognizing that the company already belongs to Him.
Jesus Christ is not a consultant brought into our plans. He is Lord. All things were created through Him and for Him, and in all things He is to have the preeminence.
That includes the CEO.
That includes the company.
That includes its purpose, people, money, decisions and future.
7 Minutes of Truth challenges Christian business owners to first seek the Kingdom of God through the Word of God and participate with God Holy Spirit in what belongs to Jesus Christ.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together... that in everything he might be preeminent.
Colossians 1:17–18

Jesus first.

JESUS IS FIRST
GOD HOLY SPIRIT SECOND
CEO THIRD
The Christian CEO does not stand at the top of the organizational chart and ask Jesus Christ to bless what the CEO has decided to build.
Jesus is first.
The CEO participates with God Holy Spirit in what belongs to Jesus Christ.
That changes everything about how a company is led.
EXPLORE THE TEACHINGS
The Christian CEO's Journey
Across 7 Minutes of Truth, Leray returns to seven interconnected areas of the Christian CEO's life and company. These are not seven business strategies. They are expressions of one central truth:
Jesus Christ must have the preeminence.
01
COMMUNION WITH GOD HOLY SPIRIT
Hearing God. Receiving Wisdom. Walking With Him.
How does a Christian CEO hear God, recognize His instruction and walk experientially with God Holy Spirit in the decisions of business?
02
AUTHENTIC DISCIPLESHIP
The CEO God Is
Transforming.
Before leadership is about changing a company, discipleship deals with the heart, obedience, surrender and transformation of the person leading it.
03
THE PREEMINENCE OF JESUS CHRIST
Whose Company Is It?
The company does not become Christ's because the CEO calls it Christian. All things were created through Him and for Him. The question is whether He has the preeminence.
04
KINGDOM PURPOSE
Why Does Your Company Exist?
Beyond products, services, revenue and growth is a greater question: What is Jesus Christ's purpose for this company?
05
CHRISTIAN
LEADER
When Biblical Truth
Becomes Operational.
How does communion with God Holy Spirit change leadership, people, culture, decisions and the way a company actually operates?
06
FAITH & TESTING
What Happens When
Business Doesn't Go
According to Plan?
Difficult seasons reveal the heart. Faith, obedience, waiting, failure, testing and outcomes become part of the Christian CEO's discipleship.
07
STEWARDSHIP & KINGDOM IMPACT
Your Success Is Not Your Own.
Money. Profit. Growth. Influence. Compensation. Ownership. Exit.
What changes when all of it is understood as belonging to Jesus Christ?
BEYOND THE SERIES
The Marketplace Is a
Public Square.
The Christian CEO's calling does not end with personal faith.
7 Minutes of Truth brings the Word of God into the decisions, responsibilities and challenges of leading a company. Through biblical knowledge and experiential understanding, Christian CEOs are challenged to participate with God Holy Spirit and restore the preeminence of Jesus Christ in their companies and in the public squares of business.
The CEO. The company. The public square. Jesus Christ preeminent in all things.
Seek First His Kingdom
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 7 Minutes of Truth?
7 Minutes of Truth is a teaching series with Leray Heyne for Christian CEOs and business
owners. Each episode begins with the Word of God and challenges leaders to first seek the
Kingdom of God and understand their lives and companies through the preeminence of
Jesus Christ, beginning with Christ's instruction in Matthew 6:33 to seek first the Kingdom
of God.
What does it mean to seek first the Kingdom of God?
Seeking first the Kingdom of God means putting God's Kingdom and His righteousness
before our own priorities. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus instructs His followers to seek first the
Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
What does the Bible say about hearing God?
Scripture describes God Holy Spirit as guiding believers into truth. In John 16:13, Jesus
says the Spirit of truth will guide His followers into all truth and speak what He hears.
How does God Holy Spirit teach Christians?
Jesus says God Holy Spirit teaches and brings His words to remembrance. John 14:26
identifies the Holy Spirit as the Helper whom the Father sends and says He will teach and
remind believers of what Jesus has said.
What does the Bible say about wisdom in decision-making?
Biblical decision-making begins by seeking wisdom from God rather than relying solely on
ourselves. James 1:5 instructs anyone who lacks wisdom to ask God, who gives
generously.
What does the preeminence of Jesus Christ mean?
Preeminence means Jesus Christ is first. Colossians 1:15–18 describes Christ as before all
things, says all things were created through Him and for Him, and concludes that in all
things He is to have the preeminence.
Does a Christian CEO's company belong to Jesus Christ?
Leray's teaching begins with the biblical truth that all things were created through Jesus
Christ and for Him. Colossians 1:16–18 provides the biblical foundation: all things were
created through Christ and for Christ, and He is before all things.
What is biblical discipleship?
Biblical discipleship means following Jesus Christ rather than simply knowing about Him.
In Matthew 16:24, Jesus tells those who would be His disciples to deny themselves, take
up their cross and follow Him.
What does the Bible teach about Christian leadership?
Jesus contrasts worldly authority with leadership expressed through service. In Mark
10:42–45, He tells His disciples that whoever desires to become great should become a
servant, pointing to His own example of coming to serve.

Proverbs 3:5–6 teaches believers to trust the Lord, acknowledge Him in all their ways and
allow Him to direct their paths.
What does the Bible say about stewardship and success?
Biblical stewardship begins with faithfulness to what has been entrusted to us. 1
Corinthians 4:2 states that a steward is required to be found faithful, providing a
foundation for understanding responsibility, resources and leadership as stewardship
rather than independent ownership.
Can faith and business be separated?
Colossians 1:15–18 says all things were created through Christ and for Him and that He is
to have the preeminence in all things. For the Christian CEO, that necessarily includes how
the company is understood and led.
