R.J. Barreth

R. J. Barreth has spent more than five decades working in business, investment, and frontier markets across the US, Great Britain, and Africa. As an entrepreneur, mentor, and advocate for redemptive economics, he has led six ventures and walked alongside faith-driven investors and entrepreneurs seeking to integrate their capital with kingdom purpose. 

After years of success, Barreth reached a breaking point that reshaped his understanding of wealth and worship. Through that transformation, Redemption Capital: The Crisis of Empire and the Rise of a New World was born—a call for believers to move from accumulation to obedience, from control to covenant, and from empire building to kingdom partnership. 

Known for his wisdom, humor, and insight, Barreth challenges readers to see business as a sacred calling and the marketplace as a mission field where God’s restoration takes root. He currently serves with organizations such as Sinapis and Faith Driven Investor, investing his time and experience to equip others to live and lead for eternal impact.
