#121: Easter Christian Business Series: Why It's Important To Have a Good Relationship with God with Danika and TunjiHow close would you say your relationship with God is?While we may think that God and business are two different parts of our lives, they actually mix and intertwine a lot more than you would think! Our first guest is Tunji Olujimi and he was writing books and then people asked him how he wrote them and he started a consultancy business on the side. However, he wasn't ready to jump in, until during the pandemic last year he got a nudge from God that he needed a mentor which allowed him to get his business running at full speed. Yet, if he hadn't listened to God, he wouldn't be where he is now. Our second guest is Danika Deva and she loves practical solutions. Her pivotal moment came when she was miraculously healed from her chronic illness and during that journey, she heard from God to create content and little by little, she was uploading them online. Fast forward to several months later, God revealed to her the business plan of what to do with that content and now she is running her business with the life motto to be intentional.

Our second guest is Traci Warren and it seemed like she made it to the top, yet even though she checked off all the boxes for success, she felt a lack of fulfilment in her work.

However, due to the details surrounding the promotion, Natalie Lavelock realized that God was sending her a message that it was time for her to start her own business, but she had 4 days to decide what to do, whether it was to take that promotion or quit. Talk about a time crunch! As she fasted and prayed, she like all of us doubted if she could provide for her family with this new business especially as she was the main breadwinner for the family.

#112: Easter Christian Business Series: Shining A Light For God In The Marketplace with Ian Anderson Gray and Michelle MaysWhy are you running your business?Why did you start your business? There is no right or wrong reason, but for many new entrepreneurs, the why behind what they do, helps them get through those rough patches. Christian entrepreneurs in general are fairly afraid to be seen because they feel that God should have the spotlight, which is true. However, as Ian Anderson Gray talks about in the first half of this episode, we need to do what we do in order to glorify God, otherwise how can God have the credit if we don't build up our businesses? Part of building up our businesses is through social media and live video (Ian's speciality). Michelle Mays, our second guest on this episode didn't think she would end up in the luxury wedding planning business, yet here she is as one of the best! However God didn't leave her hanging after she received that calling from Him, He sent her the right people to help her understand all the various components of working in the marketplace and helped her find a tribe that would help her and encourage her along the way. If God can do that for her, why wouldn't He do that for you? This episode reminds us all that while God plays a big part in our businesses, we shouldn't be hiding our talents away, we all have a niche to serve, people we are called to serve and it would be selfish of us to not heed that call. Additionally, He is always looking out for us and will send us who/what we need when we need it.

#109: Easter Christian Business Series: Asking God For Confirmation with Dr Richelle Whittaker and Hollis MooreAre you worried that you heard God wrong or that you're not certain it was Him talking to you? Both of our guests can reassure you that if it was God, He will confirm it many times over, through signs, messages, friends, etc as long as you are keeping an open mind and paying attention to it.Our first guest, Dr Richelle Whittaker, was all ready to set up a maternal health center last summer during the pandemic, when mental health cases was at an all time high. Even before she was completely set up, she had calls coming in left and right, referrals and plenty of business. Yet, it was at that time, when God told her to stop and pivot to a completely different niche in the medical field. It takes a massive leap of faith to be able to do that, especially when it looks like she had a success on her hands already. She worried that she heard wrong and didn't understand why, but as she will share in this episode, God made it very plain to her that this was what He wanted her to do and as she said, "You need to give your faith a job." It's not believing if you know the outcome. Our second guest has also quite the story, meet Hollis Moore. She was going to publish children's books, but met roadblock after roadblock. It was in her car that the revelation came that she needed to change what she was doing. This episode will definitely inspire you to pay more attention to what God is saying and how while it seems difficult and appears to make no sense in the natural world, the change that God is asking you to do, will one day make sense. Your faith will pay off.

As he tells us, there are seasons when we need to run full speed ahead, but we cannot always do that, otherwise we will burn out. We need to ensure that with these waiting seasons, we go back to God to sharpen ourselves and our spirits so that we remain productive for those full steam ahead seasons! After Andrew, up next is Althea McIntyre, who took 7 years before finally answering God's call to pivot what she was doing in business.

#106: Easter Christian Business Series: God is the best marketer with eboni trussDid you know that God is an entrepreneur?  Yes, it's very much true! As our guest speaker Eboni Truss will detail today, the Holy Spirit is the best marketer ever! Interestingly enough, Eboni only found that out in more recent years, even though she's been an entrepreneur for almost a decade , however in 2013, God called her on a journey of personal development and trained her to become a speaker, teacher, and trainer.However, what's most surprising is that Eboni hasn't done any of the traditional sales method that we see today. You know, giving away freebies to build up an email list, then sending weekly emails to get the audience warmed up before asking them to buy a program or product. None of that! Rather the Holy Spirit did the work for her through her voice . She had clients lined up before she knew what she was selling! How crazy does that sound? This episode will astound you and remind us all that regardless if we are introverts or extroverts, God can magnify our gifts and pave the way for us in business as long as we follow His calling.  Note: This mini series will have episodes uploaded every day from March 27th until April 17th, so check back daily to hear first-hand stories from different Christian entrepreneurs about how they heeded God's call and what happened after they took that first step.... Important Links & Mentions in this episode:Download the Cliffnotes for all 37 speakers of the Easter Mini SeriesEboni Truss' WebsiteAccess the free masterclass/Kelly's on-stage presentation about the Power Of One FrameworkLearn more about Christian CEO Learning HallSubscribe + Review on iTunesSubscribe + Listen on Spotify    Remember, YOU Matter!

#105: Easter Christian Business Series: Rediscovering My Calling From God with Shawn QuinteroWhat would you do if you found out that you weren't doing what God called you to do? Our guest speaker on this episode, can tell you first-hand what it was like to hear such a statement from God and then have Him go radio silent for 2 weeks! At that point, Shawn had already built up quite a reputable name for himself and was on the path to success, it seemed like he had "made it." Yet, God wasn't done with him yet. Through his journey, Shawn learned at a revival concert, no less, that there is a difference between obeying God and abiding God. Many of us don't even realize sometimes that we just follow along with what He says not out of obedience but because we're humoring Him in a way. This episode reminds us all that when we serve God, we need to do so with childlike faith and that should we ever have a time of radio silence from God, something's up and we've probably missed out on doing something He told us to do...Note: This mini series will have episodes uploaded every day from March 27th until April 17th, so check back daily to hear first-hand stories from different Christian entrepreneurs about how they heeded God's call and what happened after they took that first step....

#104: Easter Christian Business Series: How to Utilize Your Unique Selling PointAre you having a tough time trying to stand out in your niche? However, what if instead of trying to focus on your USP (unique selling point), you focused on showing off your God given gifts?

One of the keys to great copywriting is being authentic and showing your core. To do that, means unlocking your God given gifts which He has blessed you with and centering your business around that.

#103: Easter Christian Business Series: Importance of Faith and Radical Obedience with Kevin Kolbe and Tasha GloverAre you at a period of time where you are thinking about transitioning from working full-time for someone to starting your business or taking it to the next level? As both of our guest speakers today can attest to, they've been there and done that. Not only are you thinking about what happens if all goes south, but whether or not this idea you have is actually coming from God. However, in both of these stories, God made it very clear through a series of closed doors and tons of confirmations from friends, signs and Bible verses that this was the path that He wanted them to go on. Our first speaker is Kevin Kolbe. He spent 14 years in the Tv and film industry before he was laid off and through a series of closed doors, realized that God was calling him to do something else. He tells us how all his time spent in that industry was just about preparing him for the business that he's now built up. After Kevin, we have Tasha Glover, who gave us the wonderful equation of ROO = ROI. Curious to find out what it means?

Years ago, I never thought that I would start a podcast, especially after something a mentor at the time told me. Yet, here I am, 5 years later and this is my 100th episode! 🎉 WOW!

It's time to put the focus back on Christ this Easter season! :)So in this series, you will hear from over 35 fellow Christian entrepreneurs, from a vast array of industries, backgrounds, ages who all heard God's call to start their business or change directions, and following that call changed their lives, for the better!

#99: Regina L Henry - The Coach For Female Corporate ExecutivesDo you feel that you don't know how to pace yourself and continue being Super Mom, multitasking every second of the day?As a mother of 2 young adults myself, let me tell you that it's okay not to be on top of every single little thing.
