Don't build for the future
Build your business or ministry to serve the people you are called to serve today, not the people in the future. Don't build for the future, build for now. If you focus on building for the future, you'll be ineffective in the now. The future will handle itself.
Marriage is not easy
Today I am wrapping up this week's marriage series by letting Holy Spirit flow through me to share what is in God's heart for our marriages. This message had no script. It was a free flow of Holy Spirit. A major theme that emerged was that marriage is not easy and that it requires a level of maturity to live a married life, but God is here to help us. I pray that this week's series and today's message are a blessing to your marriage (or future marriage).
How to actively find a spouse
Today's message and this entire week have been focused on marriage. However, I feel led to share some thoughts for single Christians desiring to find a spouse. Therefore, I am teaching a second message today for singles on "How to actively find a spouse." In particular, I am 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.
Why God asks wives to submit and husbands to lead
Submission is a topic that has often been fought over between husbands and wives. However, when God created the concept of submission it was not supposed to be a weapon. In today's Daily Word, you'll discover the proper context of submission, and learn why God asks wives to submit and husbands to lead.
How to have a pleasurable sex life with your spouse
Your calling will succeed or fail based on your relationship with your spouse, and sex is a big part of that relationship. But unfortunately, many married couples are not experiencing the fullness of sex that God desires for them. Therefore, in today's Daily Word, discover how to have a pleasurable sex life with your spouse.
How to get back in love with your spouse
Married couples hate to admit this, but it happens often and to many marriages. There are times when they don't love each other. Why is this the case? In today's Daily Word, we explore this idea by first defining love from the Bible's perspective so that we can learn how to get back in love with our spouse.
This is the main purpose of marriage
Marriage is something that two people can only experience while on earth, because once we go to heaven we won't be married to our spouse anymore. So, there must be something very important God wants us to experience in marriage while we're here on this planet. In today's Daily Word, we are going to explore the main purpose of marriage, from God's point of view.
Presumptuous faith brings no results and weakens real faith
Real faith brings results, but presumptuous faith produces nothing but depression. Eventually, it will cause you to say that this faith stuff doesn't work. Take a listen to today's Daily Word to dig into this concept and learn how to stay out of the presumptuous faith trap.
Entrepreneurship should not be a replacement for spousal affection (Faith Chat)
Many married entrepreneurs who feel as if they don't love their spouses the way they used to or that they are not receiving the affection they desire from their spouses use entrepreneurship as a replacement. This is very easy to slip into, and if left unchecked, it will result in divorce. God has not called us to entrepreneurship so we can replace what we are missing in our marriage. Listen to today's Faith Chat to explore this concept more.
Jesus had to use Faith to achieve His calling
Jesus' calling was to die on the cross and go to hell so we could be saved. We often assume that this was easy to do because, after all, Jesus is the son of God. However, this is far from the truth. Jesus walked the earth as a man and had to overcome stress and fear (just like the rest of us) to fulfill his calling. In today's Daily Word, learn how Jesus used faith to overcome the largest difficulties of his calling. As you listen, look for ways that you can model Jesus' walk of faith to achieve your calling.
God designed faith to create things
We can use faith to obtain healing and overcome life's problems. However, God originally designed faith to create things. Now, this is interesting because, as entrepreneurs, what we do is create things and bring them to the marketplace. This means that our primary tool for success is faith. In today's Daily Word we are examining this concept of using faith to create.
Speak the Word in Faith and then Move on with your calling
Faith does not require that you speak to your problems in life and business over and over again. Instead, faith says speak the word in faith once and then move on with your calling. Take a listen to today's Daily Word and learn about this concept.
Be honest with God if you lack faith
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.
Seeking God early is critical to your daily success
We hate waking up early in the morning. However, if you don't seek God before you get started with your day, then you're missing out on valuable information related to your success for that day. In today's Daily Word, learn how seeking God early is directly related to your success as an entrepreneur.
Don't allow your vision to become your god
A tricky trap is allowing the vision God gave you to become your god. When this occurs, you become obsessed with the vision, which leads to stress and anxiousness. Also the vision becomes unsuccessful and destructive to your life. If you continue in this way, at some point, God will remove the anointing for the vision from you. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn about this concept so you can avoid it from happening to you.
Is the assignment for provision or purpose?
When you receive an assignment from God, it is critical to know if the assignment is for provision or purpose. An assignment for provision is usually temporary and is designed to take care of an immediate financial need, whereas an assignment for purpose is long term and is the reason why you were born. Knowing the difference helps you have the appropriate mindset to implement the assignment and positions you for success in the assignment. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn more about this idea.
Natural knowledge is needed to act on spiritual knowledge
God gives us spiritual knowledge to implement in a natural world, so our entrepreneurial endeavors can be successful. However, if we first don't have natural knowledge related to our calling, then spiritual knowledge is useless. Listen to today's Daily Word and learn why you need natural knowledge to act on spiritual knowledge.
Your feelings can discern your calling
As believers, we downplay our feelings and treat them like a bad guide. We do this because many of us have been taught not to trust our feelings. However, God created our feelings, just like He created our body and spirit, so why would we throw away something He created? Instead of throwing our feelings away, let's learn to use them. A born again believer who studies and meditates the Word consistently can trust their feelings as a guide to discern their calling.
Reflections on the passing of Kobe Bryant
Unfortunately, today, NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter were among five people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. Like many others, when I heard the news, I was shocked and sadden all at the same time. In this quick message, I am sharing some reflections on this tragic event.
Prophecy About Donald Trump's Presidency
Around 2016, after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, God revealed to me a prophecy about his presidency. I have not shared it publicly since I saw it; however, recently I heard another minster of the gospel share, almost vision for vision, what was revealed to me in 2016. Once I heard him say it, I almost immediately heard God tell me it is time to share what I saw publicly. Therefore, I have recorded a special message for you today, in which I explain the details of the prophecy God showed me about Donald Trump's presidency. Please listen and share with other believers.
Beliefs about speaking desires into existence
Is it possible to speak our desires into existence? Do our spoken words move God to action? Is there a limit on what we can speak into existence? I address these questions and more in today's Daily Word, which is part of my Belief series, where I discuss my beliefs about various spiritual and life concepts based on my understanding of script
Beliefs about tithing
Is tithing to a church a requirement for Christians today? I address this question in today's Daily Word, which is part of my Belief series, where I discuss my beliefs about various spiritual and life concepts based on my understanding of scripture.
Beliefs about biblical marriage
Does God have a standard for marriage? Is it only between males and females? What about same-sex relationships? I address these questions and more in today's Daily Word, which is part of my Belief series, where I discuss my beliefs about various spiritual and life concepts based on my understanding of Scripture. The concept I am sharing my beliefs on today is God's design for marriage.
Beliefs about financial prosperity
Does God desire for you to have lots of money? Why are non-Christians rich? Is financial prosperity meant for every Christian or just some? How long does it take to become prosperous? I address these questions and more in today's Daily Word, which is part of my Belief series, where I discuss my beliefs about various spiritual and life concepts based on my understanding of Scripture. The concept I am sharing my beliefs on today is financial prosperity.
Beliefs about supernatural healing
Does God desire to heal you? Is supernatural healing for Christians of today? Does God pick and choose who receives healing? I address these questions and more in today's Daily Word, which is part of my Belief series, where I discuss my beliefs about various spiritual and life concepts based on my understanding of Scripture. The concept I am sharing my beliefs on today is supernatural healing of our bodies.
God desires for you to live in abundance
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. Today's Daily Word is designed to renew your mind to the total prosperity God desires for you to walk in.
What's the "Love of Money"
The Bible teaches us that the love of money is the root of all evil, but what does that really mean? Does it mean we should give all our money away and live a very modest life? Does it mean we shouldn't devise plans to make money from our businesses? Well, we need to find out, because our understanding of this Bible concept affects our entire life and success in our calling. Listen to today's Daily Word and learn what really is the "love of money" sin.
Pursuing profits is moral and noble
What holds most Christians in business back from maximal success is this nagging question in the back of their mind: Is pursuing money okay? This uncertainty has them charging less money than they should or wanting to give their products and services away for free. Due to worldly and churchly pressures, we are inundated with messages that say making money is bad, from Hollywood to the Pulpit. They see the pursuit of profit in business as a necessary evil at best, and at worst they see pursuing profit as taking from society and the poor. There are very few things that the world and the church agree on, and it seems like that they both have deemed pursuing profit as bad. However, this thought process will hold you back from fulfilling what God has called you to do in business. To combat this wrong and destructive thought process, in today's Daily Word, learn why pursuing profit is both moral and noble.
The Lord has need of money coming to you now
For many believers, lack of financial stability is a hindrance to the calling God has given them. It is not a hindrance because God can't use us if we are in lack. However, in many cases, financial lack causes us to focus our time and creativity inwardly instead of outwardly. An inward-focused mind is in the wrong position to hear God for the fullness of the vision. Therefore, in the Bible, we see many times how God provides for people's personal financial needs first, and then they step into a major area of their vision. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn more about this idea and discover why the Lord has the need of money coming to you now.
Selling is a blessed activity
As Christians, we are conditioned to charitably give things away; therefore, many Christians who run businesses feel weird and uneasy about selling their products or services in exchange for money. This awkwardness may lead us to under price or give away too much, which can bring about frustration and eventually cause us to go out of business. To succeed in your business, you need a paradigm shift in selling. Because selling stuff for money is a blessed activity. Listen to today's Daily Word and renew your mind through the Word of God about selling.
Success of your vision is not based on the will of God
It's tempting to say that because our vision is God's will for our life, it will automatically be successful. However, this is far from reality because the success of our vision is not based on the will of God. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn what your success is based on.
You are perfect for your calling
God chooses people to do things who seem like the wrong choice to normal eyes. For example, He calls high school dropouts to start colleges, medical doctors to open art galleries, and so on. God specializes in using people who are seemingly the wrong person to do amazing things. If God called you to do it, then you are the perfect person to do it.

Hearing the voice of God
Your calling is composed of a multitude of decisions both small and large. Each decision carries consequences; therefore, it is important to clearly hear the voice of God on what decision to make. But of course, hearing the voice of God is difficult if you don't know how. Listen to today's Daily Word to discover how to hear to voice of God.

Clarity requires patience (Faith Chat)
Our success is based on clearly hearing God for the instructions to implement our vision. Honestly, I have a bad habit of becoming impatient while I am seeking clarity. However, when I get impatient, I also get frustrated and stressed. In a state of stress, hearing God for clarity is almost impossible; therefore, clarity requires us to be patient.

A good outcome doesn't mean God approves the path
Many times in life, things just work out in our favor because God loves us. However, we have to be careful not to assume that the paths we took that led to good outcomes were approved by God. If we make that assumption, we run the risk of repeating unauthorized paths or setting goals based on un-anointed past experiences. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea.

It's not you: it's me (Faith Chat)
There is a cliché that says "It's not you: it's me." This is usually in reference to breaking up a dating relationship. Holy Spirit conveyed to me that this concept also applies to breaking up with churches and/or ministries. Listen to today's Faith Chat to explore this idea and discover a right perspective, if you feel like you need to break up with your church or a ministry you have been following.

Don't allow temptation to cause you to give up the vision
Everyone is tempted to give up on their vision at various times because even God-given ideas experience obstacles occasionally. However, the obstacles actually help strengthen us so we can be successful in our vision. Therefore, don't allow temptation to cause you to give up. Listen to today's message to dig into this idea.

What's happening in 2020
I recorded a message that shares what's happening at Church for Entrepreneurs in 2020. In particular, I am discussing our broadcast schedule and the first quarter gathering.
The Word for 2020 is Clarity (Part III)
I am wrapping up our three part teaching on the Word for 2020, which is "Clarity." We've discovered that those who know, accept, and execute their calling will experience unprecedented levels of success in 2020. Over the past two days, we did a deep dive into the concept of knowing and accepting your calling. In today's message (which is Part 3), we are looking at executing your calling.
The Word for 2020 is Clarity (Part II)
I am continuing to teach the Word for 2020, which is "Clarity." We discovered yesterday that those who know, accept, and execute their calling will experience unprecedented levels of success in 2020. In particular, we did a deep dive into the concept of knowing your calling. In today's message (which is Part 2), we are looking at the necessity and importance of accepting your calling.

At the beginning of each year, God shares with me a concept that He desires for those who are connected with Church for Entrepreneurs to focus on for that entire year.

Radical receiving through your radical giving
The Word God gave me to share for 2019 was "Radical Giving and Receiving." Radical, meaning that it is extremely different from anything else you have done or received before. The year is not over, and this Word is still in operation. In today's message, I am revisiting this Word from God so that you can take full advantage of all that God has for you this year.

Your faith is either increasing or decreasing
By your faith you receive the desires of your heart and are successful in the calling God has given you. Therefore, your faith is the most precious possession you have, so you must be careful not to lose it. The most common way Christians lose their faith is by not growing daily in faith, because if you aren't increasing in faith, you are decreasing in faith.
Have Faith (Trust) in God
The bottom line of receiving things by faith is to have faith in God. And faith in God simply means you have to trust in God. Trust that He has your best interests at heart, He is real, and He will reward you if you seek him. Listen to today's message to dig into this concept.

Set goals with input from God
Most times when we don't achieve our goals it's because we set those 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%. If God is leading you to partner with us, go to https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner/
Why God ideas fail to succeed (Part II)
We have all experienced this: You get an idea from God for the marketplace. Then, you implement that idea, but no one buys it, or you sell very little of it. What is the deal? In today's message (which is Part 2), I am examining why God ideas fail to be successful from an internal perspective. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, follow this link https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner/
Why God ideas fail to succeed (Part I)
A God idea is insight from God to your spirit to implement a particular idea in the marketplace. These ideas are designed to be profitable, but many believers struggle to find success with them. In today's message (which is Part 1), I am examining why this is the case. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, follow this link https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner/
We have to break negative associations
Have you ever experienced a major business or life failure? If so, you may have negative associations resulting from that experience, which is affecting your current decision-making. To move forward and succeed in your calling, we have to break those negative associations. In today's message, I examine this concept by talking through my own experiences and the Word of God. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, follow this link https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner/
Is ministry more important than entrepreneurship?
In many believers' minds, an entrepreneurial calling is not as important as a ministry calling. Some even feel that entrepreneurship is just a stepping stone to get into "real" ministry. Is this true? In today's message, I search through the scriptures to determine the answer. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, follow this link https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner/
You are worthy to succeed
In order to achieve success in your calling, you first have to believe you deserve success. However, many people feel like they are unworthy of success due to past sins, mistakes, and/or missteps. Most of us have done things we are not proud of, but God stills finds you worthy of success. You are worthy of achieving the calling that He has placed in your heart.
