Church for Entrepreneurs

We are continuing our lesson series in Children's Church today called, "Focus on God." In this series, your children will learn the importance of focusing on the Word of God and how to prevent Satan from distracting them with his negative words.

I am at a crossroads in my calling. I am feeling the need to transition into my calling full time. However, recently I realized that I had my faith in the wrong place, which has slowed down my transition. Instead of having faith in God, I had faith in meeting a certain revenue goal. Thus, my faith to fully follow God rested on a situation rather than in God. In today's Faith Chat, hear more about this and discover how to prevent this from happening to you.

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.

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.

Having a strong desire for something can deceive you into thinking that you have faith for it. However, wanting something badly is not faith. Faith is not a strong desire; it is believing that you will receive the object of your desire. No matter how much you want something, if you don't have faith for it, you will not receive it. Listen to today's Word Training to learn more about this concept.

An effective way to reduce stress and confusion in your life is to let things unfold instead of trying to plan every single detail of your calling. God has called us to live by faith, not by a long-term strategic plan. Yes, planning is important, but if we are not watchful, planning can easily turn into trusting a plan over trusting God.

We are concluding our two week lesson series in Children's Church on "Love." In this week's lesson, we are teaching your children that non-believers will know that they are believers by the love they have for one another.

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.

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.

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. In today's Word Training we comb through the Bible to examine this question.

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. Listen to today's Word Training to learn more about this concept.

The vision God has given you requires you to change your mind. 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.

We are teaching a two week lesson series in Children's Church on "Love." In this week's lesson, we are teaching your children about the greatest commandment God gave us, which is to love Him.

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. In today's Word Training, we explore through a biblical lens the concept of right and wrong.

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 faith chat, discover how these three pivotal bible truths work together for our success.

When we are believing God for something in our calling or family life, it's tempting not to tell our kids. However, when we don't share what is going on and what we are believing for, we miss this opportunity for our kids to see the power of God to provide. We also miss an opportunity for them to learn how to stand in faith. In today's faith chat, learn more about this concept and discover how you can actually lean on their childlike faith for the outcome.

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.

On today's message, we are answering the question "Is there a time and season to divorce my wife?"

We are starting a new lesson series today called, "Focus on the Lord." In this series, your children will learn the importance of focusing on the Word of God and how to prevent Satan from distracting them with his negative words.

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. Therefore, in today's Word Training, learn how to study the Bible correctly, so you can avoid creating bad doctrine.

Today's manifest story is with Shae Bynes. She is the co-founder of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, an organization that inspires, teaches, and mentors Christian entrepreneurs to be led by God in their business, so they can experience His best and have greater Kingdom impact in the marketplace. She is sharing her story and faith lessons learned from losing her home because she quit her job and consulting side projects to work full time on the business God placed on her heart. In her story, see how God provided for her and her family through a turbulent time of moving, from hotels to staying with family to finally receiving a house, all while she was still working on her calling and God provided crazy financial success in her calling.

Today's message is a Get Answers episode. I answering the question "Is it time to quit this business?"

We deserve success because God loves us; however, God doesn't just hand success to us. We access the success God has for us by following the process. Everyone has a unique process, which is the set of instructions God has given to us to implement the calling He has placed in our heart.

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.

We are concluding our study of the names of God. In today's Children's Church lesson, your children will learn about the name I AM.

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.

I have found that many believers are waiting for permission from a human authority figure (pastor, boss, parent, etc.) to get going with the calling God has given them. Yes, we need counsel from other people, but not permission. The only permission you need is from the Holy Spirit.

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.

If you are not building what God called you to build, then it doesn't matter. God's anointing for good and no-stress success is on the original vision He gave you, not a modified version of it. Take a listen to today's Word Training to dig into this concept.

There is a myth that says, "If I had more time, then I would be successful." This statement is false because it is not time that makes you successful, it is the anointing of God on your life that makes you successful. One hour of working under the anointing can generate one million dollars in revenue. However, without the anointing, we can work for 20 years and never make a dollar. Listen to today's Faith Chat to learn more about this idea.

We are continuing our study of the names of God. In today's Children's Church lesson, your children will learn about the name Jehovah Rapha.

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%.

Today's message is a Get Answers episode. We are answering the question "How do I fulfill my role as a wife and entrepreneur?"

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.

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.

Today's message is a Get Answers episode. The question we are answering is "Is it OK to get a side business or job that is not my calling?"

We are continuing our study of the names of God. In today's Children's Church lesson, your children will learn about the name Jehovah Jireh.

Today's message is a Get Answers segment. We are answering the question "How do I build my email list?"

There is a popular wealth principle of creating multiple streams of income. While this is a great principle, if you attempt to create them without a personal word from the Lord, then you will end up breaking your focus and derailing your calling. Everything we do should be God inspired, not world inspired - no matter how great the principle sounds or works. Listen to today's Faith Chat to learn more about this idea.

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. Listen to today's Word Training to learn more about this concept.

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.

The calling that God has given you requires you to spend time perfecting it. Most days, you will end up spending more time on your calling verse the time spent studying the word. Because of this imbalance, it is tempting to feel bad or condemn yourself. However, you don't need to feel bad about this. We should and need to read and meditate on the Word of God daily, but we need to do it alongside our time spent becoming great at our God-given calling. Listen to today's Faith Chat to explore this idea.

We are continuing our study of the names of God. In today's Children's Church lesson, your children will learn about the name El Shaddai.

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 Word Training is designed to renew your mind to the total prosperity God desires for you to walk in.

Today's message is an Get Answers episode. We are answer the following question "Do I really need a business plan?"

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. Listen to today's word training to learn more about this concept.

After many years of studying tithing, I have come to the conclusion (based on the Word of God) that tithing is not an obligation to new testament believers, but a choice. It is a choice that must be done in faith rather than out of obligation. If you tithe because you feel obligated, you nullify the blessing of the tithe. If you tithe in faith, then you activate the financial blessing associated with the tithe. Listen to today's Faith Chat to dig into this concept.

Today's message is a Get Answers episode. I am answering the question "How do I know if a business opportunity is Okay with Jesus?"

We are continuing our study of the names of God. In today's Children's Church lesson, your children will learn about the name Elohim.

Within the body of Christ, there are serious disagreements among believers about how we should approach the idea of church. Some say you have to go to a local church; others say we have to go to church on Saturdays; and still others say you don't have to go at all. So is there a right way? In today's Faith Chat, I explore the concept that the Bible doesn't give us a blueprint for a church structure, but rather a set of church principles. If we are stuck on debating the structure, we are missing the power and future growth of the church.
