Church for Entrepreneurs

Daily Word - God gave us the Bible to instruct us on how we should live and be successful. However, if you study the Bible incorrectly it is very easy to build bad doctrine (instructions) that could derail your life and success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - To truly achieve great success, we must believe deep down in our hearts that we deserve success. If you feel you don't deserve it, you will unconsciously sabotage your success and not have the necessary faith to receive success. The reason you deserve success is not because of what you did or didn't do. Rather, it is because God loves you. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Just because you started a particular business or ministry that failed, doesn't mean you should not try again. Failure comes mainly because we lack the anointing. Therefore, if God is speaking to your heart to go back and restart a failed project, then this time it will work because you will be doing it again with the anointing. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - Maturity is essential to fulfilling your purpose. Our ultimate destination goes beyond the study of scripture. The purpose of scripture is to point us to the person of Jesus Christ. In Christ, we learn how to think, speak and act like God. And in Him, we mature into sons of God to become gods in the earth. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - One of our biggest challenges as entrepreneurs is success. This is a challenge because it is a test of authority. If we contribute our success to ourselves and our own actions, then we are challenging God's authority in our lives. Listen to today's Word Training and discover why taking credit for your success is dangerous. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We aren't achieving our goals because we are setting goals without input from God. Setting a goal without a word from God equals trying to throw a rock at the moon. Allow God to set your goals, and watch your goal achievement rate dramatically increase to almost 100%. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We all make mistakes as we are implementing the calling that God has given us. In fact, when He called us, He knew we would make mistakes and prepared provisions for those times. Therefore, we should not allow the fear of making a mistake to hold us back from moving forward in our calling. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum — We discussed that some of the faith testimonies we have heard may have been God's mercy, not faith; therefore, we need to grow in faith instead of always needing God's mercy. We also discussed how to learn how to hear God instead of needing a prophetic voice to tell us what God is saying about our life, how we needed to create intentional margins in our life so we can be free of distraction to hear God, and a few other interesting topics.

Daily Word - The vision statement usually provides the future goals of your business or organization, whereas the mission statement communicates how you serve your customers or clients and the outcomes they can expect. Understanding this critical difference will help you communicate better with your customers or clients. Instead of sharing your vision with them, share your mission. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Human language has only a fraction of the communication power as God's spiritual language. Therefore, God's word cannot be directly represented in a one-to-one representation of human words because our words are limited. His words are spirit and our words are natural. To hear the spirit words behind the human words in the Bible, we must meditate the words in the Bible until our spiritual ears hear God's true revelation. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that we should not over reach and call it faith. Several people gave testimonies of God doing great things in their life and calling. We prayed for and discussed divine healing. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - If we desire to receive God's blessings, then we must let go of our preconceived thoughts of how God is going to do it. Our perception of the way God should bring us His blessings is like a spiritual blindfold that binds us to God's unique blueprint on our lives to receive our blessings. Links - Join, Partner

Atlanta Campus - Pastor Stephen and myself are discussing the vision for the Atlanta church campus. In about 2 weeks we will start having interest meetings and seeing who is being led to attend our campus in Atlanta. Take a listen and let me know what you think about the vision.

Daily Word - God desires for you to live in total abundance, with nothing missing and nothing broken. Whatever you need or desire, God is big enough to take care of it—and He desires to take care of it. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - God has given all of us a vision to achieve. However, that vision will be challenged by obstacles from the outside, self-doubt from the inside, and consequences from our mistakes. If we can endure these challenges to our vision, our reward is godly maturity. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - The will of God doesn't happen without help. It requires our participation and the participation of other people. This is a major revelation we must have so our faith doesn't get thrown into turmoil if something "God said" doesn't happen or is very slow to happen. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Receiving the promises of God is not conditional on you perfectly following God. When you make small or major mistakes, don't condemn yourself because God is not condemning you or disqualifying you from success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As we are engaging our entrepreneurial calling throughout our life, it is unavoidable that we will experience the deaths of loved ones. In those times, a deep sense of loss and depression can rush over us and cause us to stop pursuing our calling. Therefore, it is important and comforting in times of loss to see death from God's perspective. Let's discover that because God sees heaven as the safety net of life for believers, the death of a believer may be sad to us, but not a terrible thing for them. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that we need to surround ourselves with people who can encourage us in our calling and remove people who discourage us. We also discussed that faith looks like stubbornness, and whether you should take care of an aging parent. We wrapped up by discussing how God saved us because He loved us, not because we did anything to deserve it. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Lack of talent or anointing is not the reason many believers are unsuccessful in their calling. The real culprit is a lack of focus. Without focus, success is slow at best and nowhere to be found at worst. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As believers with entrepreneurial callings, we desire to see people discover Jesus through our work. But how does that happen? Some people believe that serving and loving people through our work is enough, and that indirectly they will eventually come to experience Jesus. However, others say that you have to be more bold and direct. Is there a correct way? Well, there is one way for people to be saved, but many ways to warm them up to consider the possibility of accepting Jesus. Let's explore how to allow God to use your entrepreneurial work in a way that enables non-believers to experience the saving grace of Jesus. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed the difference between faith and foolishness and a blessing and a mistake. We also discussed how if we are mature Christians, we can trust our feelings to show us God's will. As we closed, we examined the idea that we are not fighting a war against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, which requires us to become a prayer warrior using our heavenly prayer language.

Daily Word - The results we reap are a direct product of the thoughts we think. Our minds are the engines that drive our success; therefore, we have to intentionally program how we think. If we allow worldly thinking to program our minds, then we will reap success mired with sorrows and pain. If our minds have a mixture of worldly and godly programming, then we will be unsuccessful and frustrated. However, if we program our minds to think like God, then we will have success without the hustle and sorrows. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God gave Jesus a very specific and powerful calling while He lived on the earth. Jesus' calling sets the tone for all of our callings, but more than likely your calling will look different than Jesus' calling. When you study all the things Jesus did, you can learn from them, but you might not find your exact calling in the things Jesus did on earth. Therefore, don't limit what you are called to do just because you did not see Jesus do it. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - God has given all of us a vision to accomplish in our lives. However, you have to prove to yourself the vision God has given you. Another way to say it is that you have to convince yourself of what God has called you to do. If you don't, you won't have the required faith to succeed in your vision. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Traditionally, pastors have been male; however, can a woman be a pastor? God calls women in all other aspects of life and leadership but the concept of a female pastor is highly contested in the body of Christ. In today's message, we examine this issue from a biblical perspective. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - After working on their calling, the next most pressing issue consuming the minds of many single Christian entrepreneurs is finding a spouse, an undertaking that can create depression and derail their calling. Therefore, in today's message, we are digging into the topic of how to actively find a spouse. In particular, we are examining the concept of soul mates, the bible's process for finding a spouse, and the male and female roles in the spouse-finding process. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Yes, wait on God for direction when you are unsure about your path. However, if God has given you direction, go forward and don't hold back on your calling. Too many believers are tiptoeing down the road of their calling because they are afraid of making a mistake, or fearful they are being greedy. This timidness hinders or slows down success and reduces the magnitude of success. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We explored the issue of why men don't go to church, which led us into a discussion about why men are stepping back from leading in society and their families. We also discussed overcoming bitterness, divorce, finding your ideal client, and a few other interesting topics. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Praying to God has many purposes. One purpose that is often underutilized, however, is receiving instructions. In Jesus' life, when He prayed, He was not really requesting healing for people or asking for financial miracles; He was seeking and receiving instructions. Listen to today's message and learn more about this important application of prayer, so you can receive the instructions you need for your calling. Also, at the end, a few steps to guide your prayer time have been provided. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - If you are a married entrepreneur, there are two main things you should do consistently to be happy. First, implement your calling, and second, please your spouse. Doing these two things consistently will bring excitement and happiness to your life. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed not stressing out over the work that needs to be done, should you get a side job in the meantime, and a few other interesting things. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As believers, we have to remove the limits on our mind to fully receive all of the things we desire from God. One limit we need to remove is the idea that God has a priority system ranking some desires above others. The reality is that the unlimited power of God does not prioritize needs or desires. He cares as much about your desire for a new car as a starving child's desire for food. In today's message, we examine this concept in detail to help you expand your thinking and increase your faith.

Daily Word - If you ask most Christians why they want success in business, they'll say something like, "to make a lot of money, so I can extend the kingdom of God." This is a noble motivation, but most Christians who say this are lying to themselves, because they believe God would not approve of their true motive. Here's the problem: when you lie to yourself about why you want success, you won't be successful. Success is built on true motives. And guess what, if your true motive is to make a lot of money to have an enjoyable life for you and your family, God is cool with that. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept, so you can have an honest conversation with yourself about your motives for success. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - Most believers ask the question, "how do I know what I am called to do." Well, the simple answer is that God has to tell you. However, the not so simple part is "how do you hear God speaking to you." In today's service we are going to learn that the key to knowing your calling by hearing God speak to you is to renew your mind to think like God. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Believers will often say, "If God wants me to go this way, then He will open a door of opportunity," or, "this door closed because God has something better for me." God can open and close doors of opportunity, but the state of the door (aka opportunity) doesn't indicate the will of God for your life. Watching doors open and close can mislead you and put you in a state of confusion. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - In most cases, receiving your healing requires faith plus actions. These actions are not really that difficult, but they are necessary. In today's message learn about two actions you can take in faith to receive your healing. Links - Join, Partner

Partnership Friday - Each week I have a partnership discussion to encourage people to check their spirit to see if God is calling them to partner with us. In today's partnership discussion, I am examining the concept of starting your vision with partial details. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - When you see another believer fail to receive their healing, especially when they have been praying for it, it can really cause you to doubt. However, we don't really know why they didn't receive healing, and we can't allow their failure to receive it to derail our faith in divine healing. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Divine healing is a two part equation. You first need to have an expectation for healing, and then have faith in that expectation. In today's message learn how to receive healing through faith and expectation. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - The enemy is trying hard to destabilize God's system of preaching the gospel on Earth by attacking its financial system. His strategy is to have Christians argue over tithing and giving, debate what preachers should or shouldn't spend money on, and making it a choice between giving to the poor verse giving to ministry. For God's system of preaching the gospel to function correctly, every believer (including ministers) should sow into one or more ministries. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed Christian dating and some of the challenges with it. We also looked at the characteristics that make for a good spouse, casting out cares on God, waiting on God is not a waste of time, and other interesting topics. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God speaks to us mainly through His written word. However, He is also in the business of giving us dreams and/or visions as part of our toolkit for direction for our entrepreneurial calling. A simple distinction I use between them is that dreams happen when you are asleep and visions happen when you are awake. In today's podcast I am providing a few basic principles to interpret dreams and visions. This is by no means a complete study on the topic, but it is a great starting point. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - In today's guru culture, people are flocking to programs, masterminds, and VIP coaching packages, seeking advice on how to be successful in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Seeking advice is a wise thing to do; however, as believers, we have to be careful about the sources of advice. Counsel from unbelievers can be a dangerous business that leads you into a pit of failure. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - The vision God has given you requires many decisions that need to be made for you to accomplish it, from simple decisions like the color of your website to major decisions like where should your business or ministry be located. So, is God directing every single decision you need to make? Not really. It is more like a partnership with God than God being a dictator. He is not micromanaging every decision you need to make in your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - It is very tempting to criticize another Christian when we see them doing something that goes against our understanding of scripture. For example, you see a pastor asking her followers to sow into her ministry, so she can purchase a private jet. Perhaps you see a Christian music artist starting to sing secular music. Maybe a Christian entrepreneur is operating his business differently than you would expect of a Christian. And the list can go on and on. Here's the problem: when you criticize another Christian as they are operating in their calling, you're not really criticizing them, you're criticizing God. This puts your own calling in jeopardy and limits your own success. Listen to today's podcast and learn more about this concept. Links - Join, Partner

Partnership Friday - Each week I have a partnership discussion to encourage people to check their spirit to see if God is calling them to partner with us. In today's partnership discussion, I am talking about the tendency to downgrade our vision to fit our comfort zone. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - If God has called you to be an entrepreneur, the first thing you need to do is change your mind. The mindset of an entrepreneur is very different from that of an employee. If your mind is not changed, you will struggle in your calling. Therefore, most entrepreneurs must go through a personal wilderness experience (one of lack) for the purpose of mindset renewal, so they can achieve all God has planned for them.

Open Forum - We discussed that we shouldn't allow our age to cause us to be impatient and rush success. We also talk about can we expect a financial seed to produce a harvest of finances, can we pray for healing for others, is tithing required as new covenant believers, and a few other interesting topics.
