Meet Jeffie Clark III

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jeffie Clark III. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jeffie, thank you so much for making time for us. We’ve always admired your ability to take risks and so maybe we can kick things off with a discussion around how you developed your ability to take and bear risk?

Taking risks wasn’t a natural rhythm for me—it was a learned one. It came in stages, forged through fire, shaped by prayer, and anchored in a deepening trust in God’s voice above my own hesitation. I didn’t grow up with a blueprint for entrepreneurship, ministry leadership, or kingdom building. But what I did have was a divine stirring that wouldn’t let me settle.

I developed my ability to take risk by walking away from comfort to pursue calling. I had to silence the logic of security in order to obey the sound of destiny. One of the boldest decisions I made was leaving behind what was “working” in the world’s eyes to step into what was burning in mine. That leap didn’t come with instructions—it came with conviction. God whispered, “Build what I show you. Even if no one else sees it yet.”

That whisper birthed House of Faith & Fire, a ministry that isn’t built around convenience or crowds, but around presence, prophecy, and purity. It’s a risk to build something that disrupts religious routine and invites people into the wildness of the Spirit. It’s a risk to start with a vision instead of a budget, to begin with a fire instead of a following. But I trust the God who lit it.

And then there’s The Crown Table Unleashed—my podcast that invites voices from across the Body of Christ to engage in raw, revelatory conversations. That, too, was a risk. Not because I didn’t have something to say—but because I feared how it would be received. Would the Church be ready for a table that didn’t just serve sermons, but strategy? A place where theology and transparency collide? But the more I recorded, the more I realized: this platform isn’t about perfection—it’s about purpose. I’m not just hosting conversations—I’m creating a room where destiny speaks and listeners can hear themselves in someone else’s breakthrough.

Through it all, I’ve learned that taking risk isn’t about being fearless—it’s about being faithful. Every leap I’ve taken has taught me that obedience often looks like insanity until it produces fruit. I’ve taken risks in business, in ministry, in leadership, and in fatherhood—not because I always knew how it would end, but because I trusted the One who authored the beginning.

How did I develop this ability? I said “yes” before I had the full picture. I walked forward even while trembling. I stopped asking, “What if I fail?” and started asking, “What if I don’t obey?” And now, I count every risk not as recklessness, but as reverence—a declaration that I believe God more than I believe my fears.

“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place… not knowing where he was going.”
– Hebrews 11:8, ESV

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

At this stage in my life, everything I do flows from a Kingdom-centered vision—whether it’s through ministry, business, or media. I am a minister, teacher, podcaster, and entrepreneur—but above all, I am a steward. I steward vision. I steward people. I steward atmospheres. And my mission is simple: create spaces where people can encounter God, be equipped in their calling, and live with prophetic clarity and bold faith.

Professionally, I’m focused on a few core areas right now:

1. House of Faith & Fire
This is my heart project. It’s more than a ministry—it’s a movement. House of Faith & Fire is a space for prophetic teaching, deliverance, apostolic equipping, and spiritual alignment. We are creating in-person and digital experiences that stretch believers beyond shallow Christianity and activate their spiritual gifts for real Kingdom impact. From Clubhouse rooms like Sunday School to immersive prayer nights and upcoming retreats, it’s all about building bold, burning ones who carry the Word and the Wind.

2. The Crown Table Unleashed (Podcast)
This podcast is my open table. It’s where raw truth, real stories, and Kingdom conversations meet. Whether I’m interviewing artists, leaders, entrepreneurs, or emerging voices, it’s all about bringing the sacred into the space of strategy. What makes it unique is that it doesn’t box God in—we talk culture, faith, leadership, creativity, and the prophetic. And we’re just getting started. New segments like “Gospel on Every Mountain” and “Rated & Reverent” (a gospel music review across all genres) are launching soon to highlight excellence in Kingdom artistry.

3. J&T Emerald Cleaning LLC
On the business side, I operate a commercial and construction cleaning company. We’re currently expanding into multiple divisions—including waste management and post-construction cleanup. What makes our company stand out is our integrity. We don’t just clean spaces—we restore order, excellence, and trust with every client interaction.

4. Mantled Magazine + The Forged in Fire Men’s Conference
Another major focus is the creation of Mantled Magazine—a publication for men of God who are called to lead across the 7 Mountains of Influence. It ties directly into our upcoming Forged in Fire retreat and conference, designed to build up men spiritually, emotionally, and strategically for this hour. We want to remind men that dominion begins in identity and obedience—not just gifting.

What’s New
Currently, I’m preparing for a powerful expansion of House of Faith & Fire that includes an online training school for fivefold leaders, more immersive live events, and a special project called Heavenly Honors—a spiritual award system designed to celebrate faithful service in ministry with prophetic significance, similar to academic distinctions like summa cum laude.

Whether I’m mentoring leaders, hosting a podcast, managing operations, or preaching the Gospel, it all comes down to this: I believe God deserves excellence. He deserves boldness. He deserves people willing to step into places others fear to go and speak what others are scared to say. My brand isn’t just business—it’s Kingdom. It’s conviction with craftsmanship. And I intend to keep building until Heaven touches earth.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

1. Spiritual Discernment
Discernment has been the compass that kept me from crashing. In ministry, business, and life, knowing what looks right isn’t the same as knowing what is right. I had to learn that discernment isn’t just a gift—it’s a discipline. It grows through prayer, through time in the Word, and through experience. Every major decision I’ve made—whether launching a new initiative, forming a partnership, or walking away from something—I had to lean into the whisper of the Holy Spirit. And that whisper saved me from counterfeit opportunities dressed in convenience.

Advice: Get comfortable being still. Discernment isn’t rushed. Fast decision-making isn’t always wise decision-making. Anchor yourself in God’s presence daily so you can recognize His voice when it matters most. Your future depends on it.

2. Communication and Storytelling
The ability to communicate clearly, passionately, and authentically has opened doors I didn’t even knock on. Whether I’m preaching, podcasting, or presenting a business pitch, I’ve learned that people don’t just respond to facts—they respond to fire. Your story, your “why,” your voice—it matters. I’ve had to refine my ability to speak to hearts, not just minds.

Advice: Speak often, speak honestly, and speak with intention. Find your rhythm. Practice writing, preaching, or podcasting—whatever your lane is. Don’t try to sound like someone else. Your sound carries oil. Use it.

3. Adaptability in the Face of Change
From the pulpit to the podcast studio to the construction site—I’ve had to wear many hats. Plans changed. Teams shifted. Resources dried up. But I didn’t stop. I pivoted. I adjusted. And that flexibility kept the vision alive. In this generation, the anointed must also be agile. I’ve seen too many powerful visions die because people refused to shift.

Advice: Be married to the mission, not the method. What worked last season might not work in this one. Stay teachable. Read. Learn. Ask questions. Stretch yourself. The oil flows when you’re willing to move.

Final Thought:
God doesn’t anoint perfection—He anoints obedience. If you’re early in your journey, start there. Listen closely. Speak boldly. Move faithfully. And never be afraid to risk looking foolish when God is trying to make you fruitful.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

Over the past 12 months, my biggest area of growth has been trusting God’s timing over my own ambition.

That might sound simple, but when you’re a visionary—when you’re wired to build, launch, lead, and move—waiting can feel like warfare. This past year, God didn’t just teach me how to walk in purpose—He taught me how to wait with purpose. I had to surrender my calendar, my expectations, and my timeline. And that surrender didn’t make me passive—it made me precise.

I used to think acceleration was the proof of God’s favor. But I’ve come to understand that alignment is. There were things I wanted to push forward—projects, platforms, even ministry moments—but God said, “Not yet.” And instead of forcing doors open, I learned to cultivate the ground I was already standing on.

In that place of growth, I became sharper. I learned how to rest and build. How to be present with my family and still faithful to my assignment. How to value development over display. I didn’t just grow in what I could do—I grew in how I discerned what I should do.

And here’s the truth: the fruit of this growth is already showing. My decisions are more Spirit-led. My focus is more refined. My confidence isn’t in outcomes—it’s in obedience.

So what’s been my greatest area of growth? Learning to lead from a place of trust, not tension. God’s been pruning my pace so He can increase my power. And I’m grateful—for every delay that developed me, and every closed door that became a classroom.
