We need a bright light if we're going to shine it so that people see God through us! But that's the exact opposite of what Satan wants from us. There are (at least!) 10 ways that we are regularly tempted to dim the light that God has put in us when becoming Christian entrepreneurs. They include things like falling prey to unnecessary mom guilt, focusing on shallow status symbols and making it abou...

If our goal is to shine God's light for the world to see, then what fuel is needed to burn our proverbial lamps?

When these emotions show up, we can be tempted to think that this means we're doing something wrong or that God is trying to tell us something. In truth, it just means we'r...

If you're human, then you probably know that we spend most of our life just trying to feel good. The problem with this chronic avoidance of negative emotion is that the hard, bad and scary stuff is actually what makes the good stuff BETTER. Understanding this concept and embracing the "bad" stuff will ensure you can fully step into the role of entrepreneur and become a shining example of God's lig...

But feeling compassion for ourselves with all our faults? That feels almost impossible!

Did you know that you can learn to trust yourself just like you would trust someone else? In fact, I highly recommend you DO learn to do this.
