What Is GSD?

A Purpose Engine for

Faith-Filled Entrepreneurs

GSD isn’t about quick fixes or fleeting motivation. It’s about aligning faith and purpose, building businesses that last, and creating legacies that matter. This is more than a movement—it’s a calling.

our mission

1 Million Strong

We’re on a mission to empower 1 million faith-based entrepreneurs over the next five years. Through live events, online communities, coaching, and content, GSD is helping leaders become the best version of themselves—so they can lead with clarity and live with legacy.

The GSD Story

Forged in Faith. Fueled by Purpose.

In 2019, Ken Joslin cast a vision for something more than just coaching—he envisioned a movement that would breathe life into leaders across the marketplace.

In 2022, the first CREATE Conference brought hundreds of high-performing entrepreneurs together. In 2024, GSD sharpened its focus: faith-based leaders, kingdom-minded business owners, and purpose-driven communities.

In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ken launched Grow Stack Drive with a commitment to build real leaders, real businesses, and real community. From there, GSD grew from local gatherings and Zoom calls to national stages and global impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who started GSD and why?

Grow Stack Drive was founded by Ken Joslin, a former pastor and top-producing real estate professional who knew deep down that success without alignment was never sustainable. What began as a simple vision in a coffee shop quickly turned into a movement—because when a man of faith chooses to say “yes” to purpose, momentum follows. GSD was born from a conviction that God wasn’t finished, that there was more—more impact to make, more people to serve, and more leaders to equip. That belief sparked a community that’s now helping faith-driven entrepreneurs around the world align who they are with what they do.

Is GSD a church?

Nope. But we love the local church.

GSD is for faith-driven entrepreneurs who want to scale businesses, lead with excellence, and build something bigger than themselves. We gather, we pray, we build. But this isn’t Sunday morning—it’s about executing in the marketplace.

What is The Purpose Engine, and how does it work?

The Purpose Engine is how we help you go from vision to execution.

• GROW – Fuel your faith, health, relationships, business, and finances.

• STACK – Create momentum through intentional actions and smart systems.

• DRIVE – Execute with precision and impact.

Because having a vision isn’t enough—you need the right strategy and execution. [Explore The Purpose Engine here →]

Why do you talk so much about proximity?

Because your environment determines your growth.

You can read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, and take all the courses in the world—but if you’re surrounded by people who think small, live in fear, and never execute, you’re going to get stuck.

That’s why proximity to the right people is everything.
