evangelical 360° Ep. 72 / How Software Success Reframed My Faith with Lewis Cirne
You can build world-class technology and still feel the harder question pressing in: what keeps you fully human when everything around you rewards speed, scale and control? In this episode we sit down with Lewis Cirne, a software entrepreneur whose work in analytics has helped companies see what’s happening inside complex digital systems, and maybe unexpectedly, rewired his own journey of faith and spiritual entrepreneurship.
Lewis traces the journey from his first computer at the age of 12, to his formative years working in Silicon Valley, starting companies with no formal “model” beyond learning the hard way. The conversation becomes candid as he shares how ambition and vocation can align, and how culture is formed by a leader’s actions more than slogans. We then get a little more personal, as Lewis describes coming to Christian faith through rigorous investigation, the humbling impact of 9/11, and the slow, real work of spiritual formation. We also talk about caregiving, marriage under pressure, and the kind of trust that gets tested when family needs collide with business demands.
Finally, we explore generosity and stewardship through a striking first-fruits decision: setting aside half of his early equity before success was guaranteed, which later became the basis for the Beloved in Christ Foundation, supporting churches, evangelism, Christian education, and meeting the needs of people all around the world. If you care about faith and entrepreneurship, Christian leadership and sustainable success, this episode is for you.
