The SAVEDpreneur™ Spotlight: Gabriel Andreson, President & Co-Founder of Inovis Energy
The world defines success by the accumulation of money, assets, and status. The Kingdom defines success by how you treat people and what is actually driving you on the inside.
Gabriel Andreson did not start Inovis Energy with a business plan. He started it with a word from God — spoken through his wife. She told him he was going to run his own business. He did not have a roadmap or even the faith for it at the time. But the confirmations came. Clearly. And when the funds showed up to make it real, there was not much left to debate. Six years later, Inovis is an eight-figure company — and Gabriel will be the first to tell you the business is just the platform. His real assignment is encouragement. Leadership development. Helping people step into more. His first book, UnAnxious: Learning to Calm Your Mind in an Anxiety-Filled World, is just the beginning.
Let's lean in.
Tell us who you are and what makes your God-given purpose different from others?
I am an entrepreneur who built a company from zero to eight figures in six years. But the business is really just the platform.
My deeper focus is leadership development — helping people grow into who they are actually capable of becoming. I also believe God has placed me in the marketplace specifically to encourage others. That is a significant role I have played my entire life — always looking to encourage the people around me. The marketplace is where the Kingdom and the world intersect, and that is exactly where I want to be.
I recently published my first book, UnAnxious: Learning to Calm Your Mind in an Anxiety-Filled World, and I am building my personal brand around the same themes: faith, leadership, and the inner work that makes everything else possible.
Who first introduced you to God and what was your salvation experience?
I grew up in a Christian home. My childhood was full of prayer and church. I officially prayed the prayer in 3rd grade during a Friday chapel service, though that act was simply confirming Who I already knew.
Success in the Kingdom looks different from the success of the world. How do you explain the difference?
The world defines success by the accumulation of money, assets, and status. The Kingdom defines success by how you treat people and what is actually driving you on the inside.
Kingdom success does not just make you a better person. It makes you a better leader. It develops leadership in you and through you into others.
When I was growing up, I wrestled with the idea that financial success was the enemy of the Kingdom of God. That idea is harmful and results in a polarity between the Kingdom and business that is not from God. Scripture indicates that resources are part of how God extends His influence to us and through us. That said, abundance is a byproduct of Kingdom success — not the goal.
When God gave you a vision for your life and work, what did it look like? Are you working to fulfill it? How?
When we started, the idea was quite simple — build something that provides for our families. I always believed business was purpose-driven, and that there were many opportunities to demonstrate faith at work. But six years in, my perspective has changed.
I do not just see business as purpose-driven anymore. I now firmly believe that business is ministry.
Yes, we serve our customers. But the most impactful leadership I have is with my team. We are not just building a company — we are developing people. Helping them stretch into their God-designed potential. And some of that is passing the baton by cultivating a mindset in them where they are developing the people around them.
Most of my team are not Christians. But that does not slow Jesus down. He is in the growth business, and He is all over my company, working in the lives of our people in ways I get a front-row seat to watch. That is evidence of the Kingdom at work, spreading into the lives of others.
What does being a SAVEDpreneur™ mean to you? What is your kingdom assignment and how are you carrying out your assignment now?
Beyond the work at Inovis, I have recently launched a personal brand. The purpose is simple: helping people step into more.
That looks like a few things — giving people practical tools to manage anxiety, developing Kingdom mindsets, and sometimes just praying for people.
The thread running through all of it is encouragement. That is the call. Whether it is a leader on my team, someone in my network, or a reader I will never meet — I want people to leave the interaction more equipped and more convinced of what God has for them than when they first encountered me or my material.
UnAnxious was the first expression of that. It will not be the last.
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?
The Inovis story did not start with a business plan. It started with my wife hearing from God.
She told me I was going to run my own business. I did not have a roadmap or even faith for that at the time — but the needed confirmations came. Clearly. And when the funds showed up to make it real, there was not much left to debate.
That is the foundation the company is built on. Not just a good idea or the right market timing — Inovis was Heaven’s idea, and that was confirmed before we ever opened the doors.
Where did obedience cost you something—money, time, identity, approval? And how did you handle the tension?
We went all in. There was no backup plan. Some people were excited — others were so threatened that they tried to prevent us from succeeding.
What upcoming projects are you working on that you want our readers to know about?
Having just released my first book on anxiety, my second is already forming. It will focus on Kingdom business and entrepreneurship. Stay connected for updates.
What is the best way for our readers to keep up with you?
