Daily Word - Entrepreneurship culture promotes the idea of starting your own thing, so you can be your own boss. This idea basically promotes an escape from submission. However, this is a dangerous motive, because, to succeed in entrepreneurship, you need to be able to submit to other people. Links - Join, Partner

In this clip, my wife is sharing her initial thoughts when I told her that we were starting a church in Atlanta.

Open Forum - We discussed that your calling is not normal, so stop trying to be normal. Therefore, we should measure our progress by our calling, not by other people's standards. We also discussed how progress makes look like you are moving backwards, and a few other interesting topics. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Jesus teaches us in the Bible that all things are possible for us if we have the faith to receive it. These include success in life and entrepreneurship, as well as health, healing, and much more. In today's message, I am examining this concept so that you can experience a life of manifested possibilities. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - I am addressing the idea that if we want to see results, we must believe "for real." Many Christians desire things (e.g., a new house, improved health, success in business, etc.). However, they don't truly believe that they will receive their hearts'desires. This lack of faith kills their results. Without true and unwavering belief, we are not in position to receive from God the things we desire. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed how to decide if you should take on another project, overcoming fear so we can follow God, and a few other interesting topics. Pastor April joined us today and shared her thoughts on Pastor Amos moving faster than she is ready for some things. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We are instructed from scripture to pray for the things we desire. However, the experience of many Christians is that some, if not all, of our prayers go unanswered. Why is this the case? Jesus tell us why in Scripture. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - I want to talk about something that is common but rarely preached about, which is what to do when you doubt your faith in Jesus. Faith in Jesus is not consistent among many believers. We believe when things are good. But sometimes, we wonder if God is real when the pressures of life are beating us down. In today's message, I am addressing this issue and discussing how to handle it. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - The bible instructs us to live by the spirit and not the flesh. This is because the abundant life that Jesus died for us to have, will come from our spirits through our souls. We are to live through our spirits, surrendering our souls to the dictates of Holy Spirit. But if the soul is not developed or renewed, we will miss the abundant life intended for us.

Daily Word - Do you desire better results in your life and calling? If so, you need to be like God and create the future you desire. And the way God creates is speaking the end from the beginning. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - I want to ask you a question: Is Jesus master or Lord to you? The answer to this question determines whether you will just follow His teaching in an optional way with spotty results in your entrepreneurial calling or allow Jesus to lead you all the way to success in your calling.

Daily Word - Many believers give Satan too much power over them. They do this by contributing God-like attributes to him. For example, God can read our thoughts, so many assume Satan can as well. However, he is a fallen angel, not God. Therefore, Satan can't read our thoughts and bring the fears in our thoughts to pass. This revelation brings peace, so we can process and work through fearful thoughts without being afraid that Satan knows what we are thinking and can use that against us. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed what should comprise the essentials of your calling and the importance of developing those essentials so you don't get pulled off course.

Daily Word - A misunderstanding of contentment is causing many of us to hold back the growth of our calling. Some think contentment means complacency. However, Biblical contentment means that during the ups and downs of pursuing your calling, you have an internal joy and peace that result in increased success in your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As Christians, at times, we are timid in declaring why our business is great for the job to potential clients. We do this because of a false sense of humility. We don't want to sound as though we are bragging or come off as prideful. However, when you have the opportunity to pitch your business (or yourself) to a client, don't hold back. Boldly present your credentials and how you will solve the client's problems. If Jesus was bold to declare that He was the way to salvation, we should boldly declare that our business is the way to solve a client's problems. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum — We discussed: that we shouldn't get involved in problems we are not called to solve; that there is a difference between multitasking and being multifocused; that we need to intentionally procrastinate some decisions; and a few other interesting topics. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - What holds us back from entrepreneurial success is natural thinking based on our limited resources. For example, God calls you to open up a daycare, but you only have one hundred dollars in the bank. Your natural thinking says, "I don't have enough to do it." However, God's thinking says you have enough money; you just need to use your faith to get more. For us to prosper, we must think on God's level. Links - Join, Partner

Bible Study - Last Sunday, I discussed how I believe that giving to ministries should be done based on a leading from the Holy Spirit instead of following the Old Covenant rule of tithing. However, I did not show all the Bible research I did to come to this conclusion. In this longer format message, I go through the Bible study I went through to come to this conclusion. If you would like to hear all the details and have about 30 minutes, then I invite you to listen to this message. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - There are two economic systems on Earth – the world system and God's system – which operate entirely differently. Jesus told us that the children of this world are wiser than the children of light. This means that they understand how to get ahead financially within their own economic system, whereas God's children are unaware and don't make full use of their economic system.

Daily Word - There is a popular expression that says, "Fake it until you make it." Some people have applied this concept to faith; however, you can't fake faith until you get it. Pretending to be in faith doesn't give you the power to receive the things you desire. Instead, be honest with God if you lack faith, and He will help you. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Do you pray because you are supposed to? Do you go to church because you have to? Do you tithe or give because you are robbing God if you don't? Well, I know I have done these things and felt these ways before. This is because I used to be a performance Christian. Meaning, I would do things out of obligation. If I didn't pray enough, or give enough, or go to church enough, etc., then I felt condemned. However, after studying the Word and gaining insight from Holy Spirit, I have since learned that performance Christianity doesn't produce faith or get me closer to God. Let's discover how the grace of God brings the performance to an end and changes our motives from obligation to love. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - There is a battle in the body of Christ that is occurring over the question, "Should Christians attend church?" Research shows that each year 3 million Christians stop attending their church, and only 15% of Americans attend a local church. Given that people are leaving church by the millions, let's address this issue by examining the scriptures to bring light to the question of church attendance. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God has many powerful promises in His word, like living without debt, in perfect health, and lacking nothing. These promises are accessed through our faith, but let's face it: Our faith may come up short. However, don't get in condemnation, because the promises of God are not all or nothing. God meets us at our current level of faith, so we can walk partially in His promises until we develop our faith to walk fully in them. Receive what your faith can receive now. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - There is an idea that we need to eradicate from our thought processes so we can experience God's best in our lives. It is the idea that healing and prosperity are rewards for good behavior. The truth is that healing and prosperity are part of our salvation benefits package, which is based on God's love for us, not our behavior. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so we could be reconciled back to God as his children. Jesus' calling was to save us, and He did it well, but to accomplish His calling, He had to "take up His cross." In like manner, Jesus instructs us to "take up our cross" and follow Him. However, what does this really mean? Well, for those of us with entrepreneurial callings, taking up our cross represents going in a different direction than normal society and being considered foolish for following the dream God has given us. It is the complete surrender of our will to achieve the calling God gave us, until we leave this earth through death or rapture. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Many believers have a misconception about faith. They see faith as taking a giant leap into the unknown; however, real faith is simply following the steps God has laid out for us. This means that, nine times out of ten, your success in entrepreneurship will come in steps — not leaps — of faith.. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - There are two paths of life in which we can choose. A life path of our own effort or the life path predestined for us by God. The life path of our own effort involves much toil. The life path God has for us involves resting in His finished works. Therefore, we have before us, death and destruction or life and prosperity. Today, we will explore the difference between the two.

Daily Word - On a regular basis, most of us face the "success dilemma," which is choosing between following our calling from God or doing something else "we think" will make more money. I know I do. However, this success dilemma is a trick of Satan to get us out of the will of God. But the truth is if we simply stick to our calling, we will be in God's will and achieve financial success.
