CBN Redlands Breakfast with Colin Lee
2025-05-09 06:45 - 09:00 | RSL, 8 Passage St, Cleveland QLD 4163, 8 Passage St, Cleveland, QLD, 4163, Australia
Join us at the next Redlands CBN Breakfast for a delicious breakfast, hear from our inspiring guest speaker Colin Lee, and network with other Christians in business.
About Our Speaker Colin Lee:
Colin Lee is an inspired entrepreneur, property strategist, and Kingdom-minded leader with a powerful message: proximity has the power to shape your destiny. In his talk, Power in Proximity, Colin shares his journey of how surrounding himself with the right people, seizing the right opportunities, and applying Godly wisdom has been foundational to his success — both in business and in life.
Drawing from biblical principles and lived experience, Colin explores how aligning yourself with the right mentors, faith-filled communities, and Kingdom-driven networks can unlock greater inspiration, influence, and impact. As the Bible says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” — and Colin believes that proximity to wisdom, Godliness, and vision isn’t just a strategy, it’s a spiritual key. To be wise, you must walk with the wise.
Colin is the Founder and CEO of Inspire Realty, an award-winning property advisory firm with over 60 industry accolades. He is also the author of Play the Property Game, where he equips everyday Australians to take charge of their financial future through strategic property investment. From humble beginnings as a maths tutor and waiter with just $25,000 in savings, Colin has built an $8.5 million property portfolio. His success has enabled him to retire his parents — and now, he’s on a mission to help others steward their treasures, time and talent to multiply the gifts that God has blessed us all with.
He is regularly featured in the media, including Channel 7, News.com.au, The Daily Telegraph, ABC, Financial Review, Courier Mail, and Kochie’s Business Builders, for his expert insights in property, wealth creation, and financial wellbeing.
Beyond his business ventures, Colin is the Founder of the Kingdom Entrepreneurs Network — a movement of Christian business owners committed to doing business God’s way. The network exists to inspire believers to see their business as their ministry, to walk out Godly values in leadership, and to create impact in their churches, communities, and the causes they care deeply about. It’s a space for likeminded, equally yoked entrepreneurs to gather, sharpen one another, and walk in their calling to influence the marketplace for the Kingdom.
Whether through business, ministry, or community, Colin’s life is a testament to the power of faith, obedience, and proximity — because who you surround yourself with will determine how far and how faithfully you go.
