The SAVEDpreneur™ Spotlight: Cheyenne Thomas, Founder of SociallyChey & Co.

Cheyenne Thomas is a faith-led storyteller, community builder, and creative entrepreneur who has built her life and work around one conviction: God does not call you into spaces you are not already graced to occupy. As the founder of SociallyChey & Co., Thee Good News, The Power of HER, and Holy House, she uses media, hospitality, and community-centered experiences to amplify voices and point people back to purpose. Her journey from aspiring network correspondent to building her own multimedia table is the kind of story that reminds you God’s redirection is always better than the destination you had in mind.

Let's lean in.

Tell us who you are and what is your God-driven purpose?

Who I am and what I believe my God-given purpose is has become clearer the more I have leaned into faith, motherhood, and service. I see myself as a faith-led storyteller, community builder, and creative entrepreneur who is passionate about uplifting people and amplifying stories that matter. At the core of everything I do is my relationship with God and my role as a wife and mother to my two boys, Cayson and Cairon. Motherhood has deepened my faith and shaped the way I move through the world. It has made me more intentional about the spaces I create, the work I pursue, and the legacy I want to leave behind.

I believe God has given me a gift for bringing people together and creating platforms that highlight purpose, creativity, and impact.

Through my work with SociallyChey & Co., Thee Good News, and initiatives like The Power of HER, I use storytelling, media, and community-centered experiences to amplify voices, inspire others, and build meaningful connections. Whether it’s producing content, hosting conversations, organizing events, or creating spaces for people to gather, my heart is always to encourage others and shine light on what God is doing in people’s lives.

I also believe part of my purpose is expressed through hospitality and service. With Holy House, the pop-up café concept that God placed on my heart, I’m learning how something as simple as coffee, tea, and shared space can become a reflection of Kingdom excellence, warmth, and community.

Ultimately, I believe my purpose is to serve as a bridge between faith, culture, creativity, and community — building spaces, telling stories, and creating platforms that uplift people and point them back to purpose.

What does it mean to be saved and how do you live a saved lifestyle?

Being saved, to me in this season of my life, is deeper than simply saying I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world. It means walking that belief out every single day and intentionally living in a way that reflects the character of Christ. Salvation is not just something I confess with my mouth — it is something I live out through my actions, my decisions, and the way I carry myself in the world.

For me, living a saved lifestyle is about having faith and allowing that faith to be put to the test every single day. There are moments that challenge what I believe, moments that require obedience, and moments that call me to trust God even when I cannot fully see what He is doing. In those moments, my faith becomes real because it requires me to rely on Him and walk in alignment with His word.

I am unapologetic about who I am — a vessel for the Kingdom. Because of that, everything I do must align with God’s will for my life. God must remain the foundation of everything I do, so that my life, my purpose, and the fruit of my actions ultimately point back to Him.

Success in the Kingdom looks different from the success of the world. How do you explain the difference?

In the world, success is often tied to idolatry. We idolize jobs, careers, money, opportunities, networking, goals, and even people, and those things can easily become the measure of whether we believe we are successful. But success in the Kingdom is not defined by those things.

To me, success in the Kingdom is about walking by faith and not by sight. It’s about trusting God with what He has placed in your heart, even when you don’t have all the answers, the resources, or a clear path forward. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” When we keep God at the center, the desires in our hearts begin to align with His will for our lives.

Kingdom success looks like being prayerful about those desires — constantly bringing them before God, seeking His guidance, and taking steps in faith even when you don’t have everything you think you need. You steward the vision faithfully, trusting that if it truly aligns with God’s will, He will provide the resources, the opportunities, and the people necessary for it to come to fruition. Kingdom success is not about having everything figured out — it is about faith, obedience, and trusting God to establish what He has placed in your heart.

When God gave you a vision for your life/work, what did it look like? Are you working to fulfill it? How?

When God gave me the vision, it was during a fast — the first fast I had ever done. I completed a three-day water fast alongside two of my closest friends. During that same time, I had the opportunity to do a live interview with someone I didn’t know at the time but who would later become a very close friend. I was interviewing her in celebration of the release of her EP.

While I was fasting and preparing for the conversation, it became clear that this moment was connected to something much bigger. I have a background in media and journalism, and for a long time I had aspired to be a correspondent. For years, I thought that would come through receiving a seat at someone else’s table. But during the fast, I felt the Lord speak to me and say, “You have waited for so long for a seat at the table, but I am now preparing a table for you where you will sit at the head and lead.”

In that moment, the vision of building a multimedia platform came to me. I asked the Lord what I would name it, and almost immediately the name came: Thee Good News.

Even now, I am still working toward fully building that vision. There are moments when I feel stuck or unsure about where to begin. But in those moments, I continue to hear in my spirit: just put one foot in front of the other. I trust that as I continue to move forward in faith, the Holy Spirit will meet me there, just as He has so many times before.

What does being a SAVEDpreneur™ mean to you? What is your kingdom assignment and how are you carrying out your assignment now?

Being a SAVEDpreneur™ means that my faith in Christ is not separate from the work that I do — it is the foundation of it. My identity as someone who is saved comes before any title I hold as an entrepreneur, creator, or builder. A SAVEDpreneur™ understands that business, creativity, and leadership are not just about profit or recognition, but about stewardship, obedience, and purpose. It means allowing God to lead my decisions, the opportunities I pursue, and the spaces I create, while trusting that the work of my hands can also be used to serve His Kingdom.

My Kingdom assignment is to build platforms, spaces, and opportunities that uplift people and point them toward purpose.

Through Thee Good News, I create space to share stories that inspire and highlight what God is doing in people’s lives. Through SociallyChey & Co., I use media and digital strategy to help purpose-driven people amplify their work. Through The Power of HER, I am helping build a community where women can grow in faith, purpose, and connection. And through Holy House, I am learning how hospitality can become a ministry — creating spaces rooted in warmth, excellence, and community.

Everything I build belongs to God first. My responsibility is to remain obedient, steward the vision well, and continue moving forward in faith.

What did God call you to build, and how did you know? What steps did you take to be obedient? How quickly did it take you to answer the call?

God called me to build a multimedia storytelling platform and community-centered experiences that amplify hope and reflect His goodness. I began to understand this during a time of fasting and prayer, when I felt a strong confirmation that my gifts in media, storytelling, and community building were not just talents — they were tools for Kingdom impact. That was when the vision for Thee Good News became clear.

To be obedient, I started by saying yes to what was in front of me, even without a full blueprint. I used the skills and resources I already had — showing up to interview people, creating content, hosting conversations, and building community-centered experiences. Obedience has looked like movement. It has meant trusting God enough to begin, even when I didn’t feel fully ready.

I didn’t respond to the call overnight. There was a period of processing, prayer, and growth as I learned to discern God’s voice and separate fear from faith. But once the vision became clear, I began taking steps as quickly as I could. Even now, answering the call is an ongoing journey. Each new platform or space I build feels like another yes to what God has placed on my life.

Where did obedience cost you something—money, time, identity, approval? And how did you handle the tension?

My obedience has cost me in very real and tangible ways. In one season, it even cost me my job. I had just received a salary increase and had confirmation that a promotion was coming, yet I felt a deep conviction that God was leading me in a different direction. Walking away from that level of stability was not easy. It required me to release security, financial comfort, and the sense of validation that comes from professional advancement.

That decision created real tension. There were moments of questioning and fear, and moments where I had to confront whether I truly believed God would provide if I chose obedience. I had to grieve the version of success I once envisioned and embrace the uncertainty that comes with purpose-driven choices. It also challenged my identity — I had to shift from finding confidence in titles and career progression to finding confidence in being led by God.

I handled that tension by staying prayerful and reminding myself of the peace I felt when I made the decision.

Over time, I have come to understand that obedience sometimes requires sacrifice, but it also positions you for alignment.

Even when the cost feels heavy, God uses those steps of faith to shape your character, deepen your trust in Him, and redirect you toward the assignment He has placed on your life.
