From Projects to Purpose: How God Turned My Corporate Skills Into Kingdom Strategy

By Sara-Marie Puopolo | Founder of SOW Marketing Agency

The Shift I Never Saw Coming

For over a decade, I thrived in the corporate world.

I led multimillion-dollar projects.
I managed client onboarding.
I created strategic plans that made launches seamless and successful.

It was fast-paced.
It was structured.
And honestly—it felt safe.

But deep down, I knew there was something MORE.

In 2020, everything changed.
God called me out of the boardroom and into full-time ministry.
It wasn’t a whisper.
It was a clear, undeniable assignment.

At the time, I thought it was just about what He needed me to build personally — my ministry, my voice, my message.

But as I walked it out, I realized:
It was never just about me.

What I Carried With Me

When God calls you out of one season, He equips you with everything you’ll need for the next.

I didn’t leave strategy behind when I stepped into ministry.
I brought it with me.

The skills I learned in project management?
Now used to build structured content plans for ministries and Kingdom brands.

The experience I gained in onboarding and launches?
Now used to help others steward their messages with excellence.

The clarity I developed in corporate reports?
Now poured into custom visibility strategies for faith-driven businesses.

It wasn’t wasted.
It was redeemed — for Kingdom impact.

Why Strategy Matters in the Kingdom

We often think "strategy" sounds secular.
But true Kingdom strategy is Spirit-led stewardship.

Because when God places a message in your heart…
when He gives you a vision to share with the world…
you’re called to prepare, plan, and shine with purpose.

That’s why I created tools like the S.O.W.™ Starter Pack and The Shine Guide™ — because I know what it feels like to have a BIG calling without a clear roadmap.

You don’t need to hustle harder.
You need to steward better.
