Church for Entrepreneurs

Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don't have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success. However, none of that matters to God because God's blessing for your success is not based on societal biases. Listen...

Many times, when we need business advice, we seek out the latest guru. Yes, human input is important. However, your best source of advice will always be the Holy Ghost. Without His guidance, your likelihood of success is quite low. Listen to today's message to learn more about seeking business advice from the Holy Ghost.

God has given the Church great power to impact the world. But why aren't we? In today's message, let's explore the scriptures together to discover the answer.

Research shows that two to three million churchgoers leave their church every year. Most leave because of burn out or because they were hurt in someway by their church. With these statistics in mind, in today's message, I am addressing the reality that so many Christians are contemplating leaving a church.

So far, we have learned that God desires for believers to fellowship together. And when believers do come together, conflict will eventually arise. However, even though the possibility of conflict between believers exists, God still desires us to be in fellowship together regularly. Why? Because the process of becoming the Church is becoming like God. Listen to today's message to dig into this ide...

I have been a member of a local church for 20 plus years. This has afforded me the opportunity to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of church life. I believe God desires for Christians to gather together on a regular basis, but when people come together over long periods of time conflict arises. In today's message, I am addressing three major reasons why being a church member is difficult with s...

There is a battle in the body of Christ that is occurring over the question, "Should Christians attend church?" Research shows that each year 3 million Christians stop attending their church, and only 15% of Americans attend a local church. Given that people are leaving church by the millions, I felt led to address this issue in today's message by examining the scriptures to bring light to the que...

Over the last two days, I have been teaching on the topic of "feeling like you need more time." Today I am going to wrap up this topic by discussing the right motive behind desiring to quit your day job. Most Christians with entrepreneurial callings desire to quit their day job because they believe they need more time to put into their calling. However, this is the wrong motive for quitting. Liste...

I am picking back on the theme of feeling like more time is needed. Yesterday, we discovered that more time is not the key to our success; rather, it is the anointing. In today's message, I want to unpack the idea of using this season of your life when there is less time as an opportunity to learn how to better organize your time because there is an anointed speed on organizing time.

In the beginning, most entrepreneurs work a day job and using their remaining time to work the vision God give them. Under this scenario, most will say "if I had more time, I would be more successful." This thought process places their faith for success in the amount of time they have to work on the vision. However, this is misplacing your faith. You are successful not because of the amount of tim...

It is critical for us to stay aware of God's current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will allow us to keep going without His anointing. However, this is...

Entrepreneurs have a tendency to buy the latest business tools and seek out the newest marketing techniques. We do this in an attempt to create success in our business. However, we achieve success not because of the tools or techniques we acquire, but because of the anointing.

Recently I have been feeling like my pursuit of my calling should be further along than it is. Because I was having these feelings, I was condemning myself for them. However, Holy Spirit nudged me to not condemn myself and to ask God some clarifying questions. He was showing me that it is not from a lack of faith that we ask God questions like: Should I be further along? Should I be doing somethin...

Many times we lack success because fear is stronger than faith in our lives. Even a little bit of fear is like kryptonite to our faith and makes it ineffective. In today's message, discover why fear is stronger in your life and how to flip the situation around to make your faith stronger.

Christians disagree about whether Jesus was rich or poor. However, the question may be ill-conceived, because while money was necessary to Jesus' life and ministry, it was irrelevant to him personally. Whenever money was required, Jesus manifested money or its equivalent to meet his needs and the needs of those around Him. On today's podcast, we're analyzing the ease with which Jesus acquired mone...

Currently, the body of Christ is learning about Grace and how God accepts us just as we are. This means that "getting our lives right" is not a prerequisite for salvation or receiving God's love. However, if we desire to lead and succeed in our calling, then our lifestyle has to line up with how God designed us to live (aka living holy). In fact, living at a certain level of holiness is a prerequi...

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 p...

This week (September 23rd - 27th), we are taking a fall break. This means that there will not be any new podcasts this week. However, to still receive the word on a daily basis, visit our podcast archive of over 400 messages and select one to listen to. Our messages in the archive are broken down by category and topic, so you can easily find the right message for you each day. We will resume with...

After having hundreds (maybe even thousands) of conversations with Christian entrepreneurs around the world, I have discovered that we can partition a calling from God into three stages. Stage one is the core (aka the big idea), stage two is the implementation details, and stage three is the adjustments and additions to the details along the journey. Listen to today's message to hear more about th...

As you become more successful, your time is going to be more in demand from clients, new opportunities, requests for partnerships, and people asking for advice. To stay centered with God and not become overwhelmed, we need to take intentional long-periods of time to be alone with God. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.

For most of us, we are doing a lot of things, striving to succeed in our calling. Some things God called us to do and other things we decided to do. However, in either case, when God drops insight in your spirit for a new opportunity or direction, there is a strong possibility that He is also telling us we need to stop doing some things. He tells us to stop doing some things so that we can free up...

You have probably heard that hard work is the key to success; however, you know many people (and maybe yourself included) who work hard, but success is far from them. This is because hard work is wasted energy if it's not focused and directed by wisdom. Take a listen to today's message to dig into this concept.

I have had several conversations with people about their calling. What's very common among those I have talked to is a feeling of being overwhelmed with the vision and not knowing what to do to achieve it. This is a completely normal feeling when it comes to tackling big visions. To overcome this challenge, I find that it is extremely helpful to have a daily to-do list of little steps that move th...

Once a month I am instructed to remind you about the Word for 2019, "Radical Giving and Receiving", so you can take full advantage of the harvest God has for you this year. In today's message, let's look at having a heart to give to others without an expectation of receiving something back from them.

It would be nice if we could succeed in our calling after only a year or two. However, God has not designed it that way. Instead, He takes us on a progressive journey to achieve our calling over a significant period of time. This enables us to become the person we need to be in order to fully reach our potential. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea.
