#180: Have you ever wondered about the difference between waiting for God to open doors and pursuing what he has asked us to do?Today's guest sheds light on this, as she shares with us insights into the 5th anniversary of her book, Grace Over Grind, that both options require hard work, but working by God's grace means being attuned to His presence and the divinely sustainable rhythm available through Christ.Not only do we get a sneak peek inside of her book and her entrepreneurial journey of co-founding and growing Kingdom Driven Entrepreneurs, but we also discuss the topic of hustle and grind and the idea that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. It's easy to confuse working hard with grinding, and there's a common misconception that therefore we have to figure a way to carry this load alone. Our guest disagrees, stating that building a Kingdom-driven business requires more than we can handle alone, but nothing that God can't handle. Our ability to endure, persevere, and thrive is the fruit of God's grace that rests on our lives.So, whether you're working hard under the pressure of hustle and grind or flowing in God's grace, this episode will inspire you to keep going and trust in His plan.Shae Bynes is a passionate storyteller, mentor, and strategist who equips leaders to be catalysts for transformation in the marketplace.

#143: Who are you striving to be? Is it a copy of your role model or who God called you to be?Most of us don't realize it, but we try to copy and do what our role models do to become better versions of ourselves. A lot of times, that's great because it's getting us to think another way or implement healthier habits in our lives, but if we aren't careful, we'll just turn into clones of our role models and that's not who God has called you to be.

Now, she lives B.I.G. (Believing It’s God) in her marketplace assignment and helps others to do the same.This episode covers what unbecoming means and how we can get that revelation from God who we are meant to be, and how the Holy Spirit is our partner in all things, personal or professional.This episode is jam-packed full of great ideas, so let's get to it! Learn How to Unbecome You ...[04:08] Eboni's latest book - Unbecoming and what it's about[06:07] Her journey into entering the industry and becoming a business coach[10:24] What prompted her to write this book?[11:34] Why you are more than qualified to fulfill the calling God has for you[19:43] Definition of unbecoming and how that applies to your life and you[28:39] No one can tell you differently once you have had that revelation from God[33:44] Why we have to go through a hard place to figure out who we are meant to be[40:11] Listen to the Holy Spirit and His strategy - here's why!Important Links & Mentions in this episode:Eboni's BookEboni's WebsitePower of One Framework MasterclassSubscribe + Review on iTunesSubscribe + Listen on Spotify   Remember, YOU Matter!
