Church for Entrepreneurs

Open Forum - We discussed that sometimes we have to intentionally neglect some important tasks, so we can do what is needed most at the moment. We also talked about who is at fault if your child experiences mental illness, whether Christians should participate in Halloween, finding your purpose, and a few other interesting things.

Daily Word - Various bible teachers and pastors preach on the topics of grace, faith, and living holy. Most times you hear these topics in isolation, and depending on who you listen to, it can appear these topics contradict each other. For example, if we are living under grace, do we have to follow God's law to live holy? If we don't live holy, do we fall out of grace? Or how do faith and grace work together to receive the promises of God? In today's message, discover how these three pivotal bible truths work together for our success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Most Christians equate honoring God with their money, with giving money to a church. This is good, but it is a limited understanding. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn about honoring God with your money. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Your calling will be tried by fire, and you may be tempted to give up. In fact, that is the goal of the trials that you are facing. The trial is designed by Satan to tempt you to give up. However, in today's message, I want to encourage you to stay on your path in the face of temptation. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - A major key to success is knowing what type of calling God has given you. For example, has God called you to start and run a ministry or business? Confusing ministry and business will limit your success in either. In today's message, I explain the differences and nuances between these two callings, so you can clearly discern what type of calling God has given you. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Have you ever wondered why, after studying the Bible consistently or listening to sermons weekly, you somehow still don't have the faith you need to move the mountains in your life? Well, the reason is that faith is learned through practice, not just reading or listening. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God has given every human the ability to have faith. Some use this ability to have faith that their education will land them a high paying job. Others have faith that medical doctors can repair something broken in their body. However, they might discover that faith in their education, doctors, etc., does not gain them the desired results. The reason is that faith in anything other than God lacks the power to get results. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Today's culture is increasingly hostile toward believers in Christ. Because of this, some people are on a mission to harm you economically by asking you "gotcha" questions about your faith. For example, you might be asked about homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion, etc. If your answer goes against the culture's viewpoint then they will attempt to ostracize you, get you fired, or have other businesses stop doing business with your business. Learn how to handle these gotcha questions. Links - Join, Partner

Today we discussed how to lead people of various Christian faiths. We also discussed about freewill, working with God instead of working for God, and other interesting topics. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - I totally believe that God wants us to be financially prosperous. However, why would the creator of the universe care about our financial status? It seems like there would be more important things He would be concerned about. Well, I believe the answer is because of His "Goodness." Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We are turning our attention again to marriage. Why? Because the state of an entrepreneur's marriage affects the success or failure of their entrepreneurial calling. To help create a successful marriage, we have to not fight for our right to be right. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - The 80/20 rule says that if 100 people are working at a task, then 20 people will outperform and achieve more results than the other 80 people combined. This rule works because many people are performing tasks and implementing visions that God never gifted them to do, thus we get an uneven output of results. God created us with equal value but gifted us unequal talent. Many of us are frustrated and not successful because we're not doing the things we were gifted to be great at, but instead doing things we are good, okay, or terrible at. Exponential success comes from doing things you were gifted to be great at. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - A major factor of success is knowing that God's blessing is on you now. This blessing is the empowerment to prosper. As believers in Christ, we don't have to do anything extra to receive the blessing. It is a part of our salvation package. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Imagine a dad promises to buy a car for his daughter. If the daughter doesn't believe her dad's word, then she is expressing that she feels her dad is lying and untrustworthy. This is the same situation when we don't believe God's written word in the Bible or His spoken word to our spirit: we are basically calling God a liar. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Usually between where you are now and your next level is a financial gap. For example, you are working a day job and a side entrepreneurial project. The day job is draining, and you're ready to go all in on entrepreneurship. It doesn't make financial sense to quit, but you are so ready to leave the job. In this situation, consider if Holy Spirit is leading you to take a transition step before making the leap into full-time entrepreneurship. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - Today we did something a little bit different. We reviewed the 7 year journey of CFE as a case study. To encourage you in your faith journey, our victories along with our missteps and pivots were discussed. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Have you ever heard the saying "I am just an old sinner saved by grace?" This sounds holy, but it doesn't correctly describe your identity in Christ. You cannot be both a sinner and saved. Listen and discover your true identity in Christ. So you can come boldly to God as a son or daughter and receive your inheritance of success in this life and the next. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - When we experience failure in life, if we are not careful, we can harden our hearts towards God. This is dangerous because a hard heart cannot have faith, which is the force by which we receive success from God. In a very real way, a hardened heart towards God blocks your success in life and in your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - The very essence of faith begins, lives and ends with what God said. Belief in what God says is what produces faith. Many have misappropriated faith and pained themselves with many griefs. It was never in the origin of man that faith came, but rather a word from God, acted upon that brought faith into existence. A word from God is the only thing that's guaranteed! Link - Join, Partner

Daily Word - I have a single thought I want to share with you: "God is not the author of confusion." Any area of your life where there is disorder and/or a lack of clarity, God is not the author of that. An author is someone who creates. God creates peace, which is order and clarity, not confusion. Learn more about this concept and gain insight from Holy Spirit on how to bring peace to all areas of your life and calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Have you been praying for success in entrepreneurship but it seems like your prayers are not being answered? If so and you're married, then check the state of your marriage. You see, the Word of God teaches us that if our marriages are in disrepair, that will hinder our prayers. This means that there is a direct connection between the success of your marriage and your entrepreneurial success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Think about the time when you were in high school. In order to advance to the next grade, you had to pass some tests. In the same way, to advance to the next level in your vision, God is going to give you a test first. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed how your calling is not for everybody because there is a specific group of people you are called to reach in an unique way. Along with a few other things, we also discussed that there is freedom overlooking problems you are not called to solved. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - I have discovered through the Word of God that when we have a financial need, asking God to give us money is the wrong prayer to pray. The reason is that God can only give us what He has. Money is a human creation, not a God creation. Therefore, we need to ask God for what He can give, and what God gives is wisdom that leads to you making money. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - In this short video, I want to encourage you to embrace the journey of your calling. When you don't embrace the journey, you lose your peace, become frustrated, and potentially quit. The journey God places you on is a long one, but a victorious one. Take a listen to hear more about this concept. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - There is a misconception among some believers about the purpose of the Bible. They study it looking to find God's specific plan for their lives. However, they become disappointed when they can't find it. The reason is that God designed the Bible to teach us spiritual principles, not to give us an exact blueprint for our lives and calling. However, if we learn the principles, then with help from the Holy Spirit, we can discover our own blueprint. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - Today I reflected on how God had me start the process of launching a local church, without knowing why I am doing it. We also discussed finding your lane in your calling, and a few other interesting things. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Since the beginning days of Christianity, believers have had disagreements over the meaning of various spiritual principles in the Word of God. A lot of these early disagreements are actually documented in the New Testament. What is amazing about these early disagreements is that God did not step in and correct everyone. Instead, He left it up to us to correctly discover spiritual truth from His Word. Therefore, when you are listening to other believers and ministers interpret the Word of God, you are bound to hear contradictions and disagreements. When this happens, we have to resist the desire to enter into fruitless arguments. In a real sense, to grow spiritually, we have to graduate from needing other Christians to agree with us.

Daily Word - Many believers with entrepreneurial callings have a list of unfinished instructions from God. It is tempting to go back and try to finish the list; however, the season for those particular assignments may have passed. God is a right now God. Instead of going backward, find out what God is asking you to do now because the anointing on your unfinished assignments might be gone. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - When God created man, he didn't create us to master the ability to follow a bunch of rules. He created us to master the art of making godly decisions. He is training us to be decision makers, not rule followers, decision makers who can rule the earth and subdue the devil. Therefore, instead of running from the decisions along the path of your calling, embrace them. Every time you make a decision, you strengthen your decision-making muscle and increase your ability to make godly decisions, which is the key to success in your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - When God called you, He knew that you would not perfectly implement the vision. He called you because He knows that you will listen to his corrections when needed. When you do make mistakes, because He loves you He will do everything in his power (including stopping the sun) to help you correct those mistakes. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Reaching the next level of success in your calling usually occurs through a divine opportunity. These opportunities are from another person or organization who has noticed your current success, and they help you reach higher levels. However, to be noticed, you must be in diligent pursuit of the right course of action. Discover your right course of action, so you don't miss your opportunity to accelerate to your next level of success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God sees the end from the beginning. Thus, He has already seen the needs and challenges you are currently facing in your life and calling. Since God is good, He has already gifted you with everything you need to turn your current situation around. When God calls you, He equips you to win. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - I shared the faith lessons I learned from God opening the door to our Atlanta campus. I believe these lessons will help you to stand in faith and wait in rest for what God is calling you to do. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As parents, we have to be mindful not to leave a vision for our children. God has called us to leave an inheritance for them, but not a vision. We can become so excited and passionate about our calling that we want our children to work with us and eventually take over from us. However, this is very dangerous because we could be hindering the calling God has given them by placing our calling on them. Links - Join, Partner

I am happy to announce that the Holy Spirit opened a door of opportunity for us to open our first church campus in Atlanta, Georgia in the Roam Buckhead coworking space.

Daily Word - As you work on the vision God has given you, you will periodically experience some tough situations that may cause you to wonder if God has called you to do something else. In those times, it is important to get reconfirmation from God about your vision. It is not a sin to ask again. In fact, by getting reconfirmation, you will strengthen your faith and acquire the needed motivation to push on to victory. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that competition is a faith killer because it creates false faith. Along with other great topics we also discussed that we need to stop stressing over challenges and just live. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - It is likely that the vision God has given you is large and will impact the lives of many people. Therefore, God will probably train you through small victories before you step into the primary calling He has given you. This is similar to being a baby. We must learn to crawl before we walk or run. If we rush straight at the vision God has given us, we won't have the necessary skills (which are developed through training in smaller battles) to win.

Daily Word - One highly debated issue in the body of Christ is the question: "Can you lose salvation?" Some say once saved, you are always saved. Other say that you can actually lose salvation after being saved. Let's comb through the Bible to examine this question. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - To succeed in your vision you need faith. When God first places the vision in your heart, your faith is high. However — with most people — over time, their faith erodes. This happens because faith is not a one-time event. Faith is something that you have to intentionally fight to keep. If you don't continually stay in faith, then you will fail in your vision.

Daily Word - Does it seem like you are on a bumpy roller coaster ride with the vision God gave you? Well, hold on because victory is coming. Even God's dream for humanity was a bumpy ride (that is still not over). Just like God, we will win in the end. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - From interacting with negative people and having negative experiences, our minds are filled with limiting thoughts. Thoughts like "People like us don't do that," "You don't have the money for that," "You'll never achieve that goal," etc. Those thoughts must be rooted out of our minds if we are to achieve all God has for us to do. The new ideas God has placed inside us require new thinking. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - What is morality? Are there really some things that are absolutely right and some things that are completely wrong? Questions like these are constantly debated between believers and non-believers. Today we explore through a biblical lens the concept of right and wrong. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Let's have some real talk. More than likely, the dream God placed in your heart of your entrepreneurial calling is going to take a while, which means you are going to be tempted to quit because it is taking too long. It may even feel like God forgot about you. But rest assured He has not. Everyone's dreams take time to manifest, and there are neither magic pills nor secret techniques to speed them up. The main techniques you need are simply trusting in God and having patience. As you follow God in leading you towards your dream, you will grow the skills needed to take hold of the dream and conquer it. Don't give up. Every day you will get closer, and at some point, after diligence and faithfulness, you'll be only one day away from manifesting the dream. Links - Join, Partner
