Divine Connections: Kraig & Desiree Bougher on Igniting the Marketplace for the Kingdom
On the latest episode of Divine Connections, marketplace leaders Kraig and Desiree Bougher share the vision behind their growing movement — and the Joseph-and-the-cupbearer story at the heart of it — ahead of the 2026 Ignite Kingdom Conference.
The fuse has been lit. Now it’s time to ignite the marketplace. That is the message at the center of the latest episode of Divine Connections, in which host Krystal sits down with Kraig Bougher and Desiree Bougher, two Spirit-filled marketplace leaders on a mission to make the marketplace, in their words, “the miracle place.” Listeners who follow the conversation to its end, the hosts say, will understand why so many leaders are rallying around the movement the Boughers are building.
Joseph, the Cupbearer, and the Power of Timing
At the heart of the episode is a lesson Desiree draws from the biblical story of Joseph and the cupbearer — a story, as she frames it, about timing, favor, and connections. The point she returns to throughout the conversation: sometimes the person standing between where you are and where God is taking you is not a strategy, a system, or another degree. It is a God-ordained relationship.

That theme runs through the entire conversation as Kraig and Desiree lay out their vision for a growing community of entrepreneurs, executives, business owners, and marketplace ministers who want to see their communities transformed “on earth as it is in heaven.” Their mission, as they describe it, is simple but bold: make the marketplace the miracle place.
