The proper biblical mindset in business for a healthy marriage
Bible Study — Most business owners have marriages that are falling apart because their marriage is being neglected for the business. The non-business spouse feels unappreciated and the spouse in business feels unsupported. This is a recipe for divorce. However, if we have the proper biblical mindset in business, we can have both a healthy marriage and successful business. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Seven required qualities for a healthy marriage from a biblical perspective
Bible Study — I am led to teach on "seven required qualities for a healthy marriage from a biblical perspective." For those who are married, it will help them grow their marriage. For those who are dating, it will help guide them into a healthy marriage. For those who are not dating, it will help them to correctly assess potential partners.

Don't be ashamed to pivot
Open Forum — When you start walking out your calling, more than likely you going in a wrong or slightly misguided direction. Therefore, we need to be flexible to hear God nudging us to adjust course. However, because most people don't understand entrepreneurship led by God, they will see your pivot as you being wishy-washy. This can make you feel ashamed to change direction, because you don't want to be seen that way. However, don't be ashamed to change or pivot, because it's better to follow God's direction than to worry about how people view you. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

God will remove His covering for our good
Daily Word 2.0 — God wants the best for us; however, if we continue to live unholy lives, at some point He will remove His covering from us. When His covering is gone, we experience the consequences of our sins. His goal is not to destroy us with consequences but to allow the consequences to lead us to repentance and back to Him. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Ministry School, Partnership
It's OK to let go
Open Forum — We discussed that we need to be open to hearing God when He tells us to let go of things we are doing. Just because He may have told us to do a thing in the past, that doesn't mean He wanted us to do it forever. We need to be flexible, not rigid, in following God's instructions.

As believers, should we create laws that regulate and/or ban abortion?
Daily Word 2.0 — When you read through the Bible, you can find places where the Bible takes a hands-off approach with government, and other times where it takes a hands-on approach by not allowing believers or non-believers to do certain activities. In the case of abortion, which should it be? Should be believers be hands off or hands on? Let's see. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Ministry School, Partnership
It looks like God, but it might not be!
Daily Word 2.0 — For many believers, when we see an open door of opportunity, we quickly say that God has opened that door for us. For example, you may be offered a job making $500K per year and it appears to be an answer to your prayers. However, just because a door of opportunity is in front of you, that doesn't mean it's from God. We are led by the spirit of God, not doors of opportunity.

A Bible conversation about abortion
Bible Study — Since 1973, abortion has been protected as a right in the United States. This meant that states could set limits on abortion, but no state could outlaw abortion. However, as of 2022, the United States no longer has country wide protection for abortion. This allows states to determine if abortion will be legal in their state. Abortion has been debated among believers for generations. However, what does the Bible say about abortion? Do Christians have the right to impose our views of abortion on the entire country? Is abortion even a Christian issue and is no different than the United States not allowing people to murder others? Let's discuss. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership
A conversation about Creflo Dollar's changing his mind about tithing
Open Forum — Yesterday on Open Forum, after we concluded, we started a discussion about Creflo Dollar's views on tithing. In this discussion, we talked about how tithing is an Old Covenant law, not a New Covenant requirement. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership
Doing the right thing doesn't guarantee an immediate positive outcome
Daily Word 2.0 — Many people are frustrated because they are doing the right things but they're not immediately seeing the results they expect. In 1 Samuel 24 and 26, we are going to see an example of this. David did the right thing but did not receive immediate victory from his situation. The insight we are going to process is that we should do the right thing in spite of the immediate results. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Ministry School, Partnership
Let God break your vision
Open Forum — We discussed that we have to allow God to keep give us more information about our vision. As He gives us more information, it may feel like He is breaking the vision. Instead of resisting the perceived breaking, lean into the newness God is revealing to you. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership
Your "Why" for success has to be rooted in pleasing God
Daily Word 2.0 — Why do you want to succeed in business, ministry, or anything you do? Well, according to 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6, it needs to be to please God. If your "why" is anything other than to please God, then your why is shaky and will not give you a foundation to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of success.

Financial success or failure is not an indication of God's blessing or judgment
Daily Word 2.0 — In Malachi 3:13-18, the Israelites complained that God was blessing wicked people and righteous people were struggling. Because of this, they concluded that serving God didn't matter. The insight we are going to process is that from the outside looking in, the financial success or failure of someone is not an indication of God's blessing or judgment.

You don't need a younger woman!
Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Malachi 2:13-16 and Proverbs 5:15-19. In these scriptures, God admonishes older married men to enjoy the wife of their youth and not to divorce them for younger women. The insight we are processing is that our wives will physically change as they age, and regardless of their age, we should still see them just as beautiful as the day we married them. This insight focuses mainly on older married men, but this revelation also applies to older married women. Links — CFE Atlanta, Online Community, Ministry School, Partnership
Jesus didn't say anything about that!
Daily Word 2.0 — Many of today's cultural issues, such as abortion, are not directly discussed by Jesus. However, in the limited pages of a book, Jesus could not have addressed everything we would encounter in life. Therefore, God left us with 10 guiding principles in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.

How should we determine what is paid or free in ministry?
Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Acts 8:20-21 and 1 Corinthians 9:18. I use these passages to help me determine which parts of my ministry are free and which parts have charges associated with them. The insight I would like for you to receive relates to how I process this financial dynamic and how you can too (if you are called to create a ministry).

Don't bring worldly business principles into the Kingdom
Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Acts 16:16-19 and Acts 8:9-23. In these passages, we are going to discover the danger of mixing worldly business principles with the Kingdom of God. The revelation I want you to process is, "Am I bringing my old ways of doing business into this new Kingdom Business journey God has me on?"

Christians can't be Democrats?
Daily Word 2.0 — Have you heard some say that Christians can't be Democrats? Well, you have probably also have heard some say that Republicans don't care about the things Jesus cares about. So, can a Christian be a Democrat or Republican? We are exploring Amos 2:6-7. From this passage, we are going to process the revelation that American politics and Christianity don't mix well.
