Church for Entrepreneurs

Open Forum — Whether you are a saver or spender, if the amount of money in your bank account controls your mood, then your bank account is an idol. We also discussed how a setback should not cause you to pivot your business and provided talking points for dealing with family members who doubt your vision. (Note: This is our last open forum until after our Sabbath. Our next open forum will be on Ju...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Judges 7:2-7. In this passage, God instructs Gideon to fight 120,000 Midianites with only 300 men. The revelation we are going to process is that God intentionally calls us to win in our calling with fewer resources than we think we need. He does this so He can get the glory, not our resources.    Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community , Ministry School , Partner...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring 1 Peter 2 and 3. In these passages, Peter discusses how, as believers, we are required to submit to the government, our employers, and our spouses. The revelation we are processing is the importance of submission in the life of the believer. Submission is not just about wives submitting to their husbands—all believers are under a requirement of submission. Links —...

Bible Study — Within the body of Christ, churches are splitting from each other over the question of homosexuality. Some churches believe that homosexuality is sinful, while others believe that it is a perfectly congruent lifestyle with Christianity. So which group is right? Is it or isn't sin? Let's comb through the scriptures to answer these questions.  Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community ,...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring two questions: (1) how do I know what I am call to do and (2) how do I know the steps of that calling. The answer to both questions is a three-part framework: study the Word, receive godly counsel, and commune with like minded believers.  Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community , Ministry School , Partnership

Open Forum — We discussed how do we know what God's plans are verses our plans. We also talked about how to avoid being a people pleaser, and we ended with a discussion on the idea that everyone connected with CFE is called to ministry in someway.    Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community ,   Partnership

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring John 16:5-15. In this passage, Jesus explains the job of Holy Spirit, which is to lead us into the truth. The revelation we are going to process is, how do we determine when Holy Spirit is speaking to us versus when we are hearing what we want to hear?    Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community , Ministry School , Partnership

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Numbers 14:39-45. In these passages, the Israelites override God's instructions to stay in the wilderness for 40 years. Instead of accepting God's delay, they attempt to conquer the promised land and they are completely defeated. The revelation we are going to process is that God may intentionally delay us, which is designed to grow our faith, so we should not try...

Open Forum — We discussed that our calling needs to be fluid, so God can shape it. We also explored that if God has you in a slow season of your calling, then embrace the slowness and be patient.   Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community ,   Partnership

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Matthew 13:58, Matthew 17:19-20, Exodus 13:17-18, and Numbers 14:29-33.

Ministry Insights — Over the last election cycle, ministers of the gospel were on various sides of the political spectrum. Some ministers vocally and wholeheartedly supported President Trump, and others, with the same amount of energy, supported President Biden. Honestly, that election cycle felt like it almost ripped the body of Christ in America into pieces (and maybe it did). In this Ministry I...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Mark 4:13-20 from the Message Bible. In these passages, Jesus describes four types of people who have varying levels of success in their calling. The revelation we are going to process is introspective. Which of the four people are you in this passage? Based on the answer, the revelation of what's up with the success of your vision is revealed.   Links — CFE Atlan...

Bible Study — Most of us are in a rush for success in our entrepreneurial calling. However, God may take you the long way to success instead of the quick path because there are things you need to learn before you get to success. If you go too fast, you won't have the skill and character to maintain your success. The data based on lottery winners shows this to be true - about 70% of all lottery win...

Ministry Insights — I heard a popular YouTuber today say that "Christians don't take Joel Osteen seriously." This statement perfectly embodies the misunderstanding of Christianity today. Each group of Christians feels like their group has a lock on the truth of God, and anyone else outside of their group is false. In this insight, I will share how I teach the Word in this environment where everyon...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring a few passages today — Genesis 20:11-13, Leviticus 18:1-9, and Genesis 17:19. In these passages, we are going to discover that Abraham and Sarah's marriage was illegitimate but God made them right for each other. The revelation we are going to process is that even though you married the wrong person, God can still bless your marriage — if you allow him to.   Links...

Open Forum — We discussed that we have to be careful about helping people process traumatic experiences — if God has not anointed you to do so, then someone else's traumatic experience could cause you to crash and thus pull you away from your calling. We discussed the importance of self-care and when it is time to let someone go out of your life.   Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community ,   Partn...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Mark 5:35-42. In this passage, a 12-year-old girl dies while Jesus is on His way to heal her. After the father hears the bad news, Jesus tells him, "Be not afraid, only believe." The main revelation we are going to process from this text is that when we receive bad news about our vision, we are to not be afraid, but only believe. Because God anointing on our life...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Mark 4:35-41. In this passage, Jesus instructs his disciples to take a boat to the other side of a lake. But the disciples become fearful when a storm occurs and accuse Jesus of not caring about their lives. The main revelation we are going to process is why we are so fearful when obstacles come against our vision.   Links — CFE Atlanta,   Online Community , Minis...

Open Forum — We discussed that we need to allow God to do new things through us. However, for that to happen, we need to clear our table (aka the activities that we are doing), and only place the activities that we love, back on the table. We also examined the idea that we need to have correct expectations for success and wrapped up by discussing how to overcome the emotional hurt of an abortion. ...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Matthew 15:1-9. In this passage, the Jewish leaders accused Jesus of breaking tradition, but Jesus flipped the script and accused them of breaking God's word because of their traditions. The main revelation we are going to process is that there are traditions that we follow subconsciously that are not allowing us to hear God's new direction for our life.   Links —...

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Luke 5:1-9. In this passage, Jesus uses Peter's fishing boat to preach the word. After preaching , He instructs Peter to go fishing, but Peter is hesitant. The main revelation we are going to process is that just because past data tells you something can't work, a word from God can override what the data says. Therefore, we need to follow God over the data.   Link...

Atlanta Sunday Service   —   The will of God doesn't happen without help. It requires our choices and the choices 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.

Ministry Insights —  I am starting something new. For ministers in either a church or marketplace context, I will periodically share insights I have learned with the goal of helping you succeed at your ministry.  In this insight, I am sharing thoughts on how to choose a topic to preach on.   Links —  Online Community , Ministry School , Partnership

Daily Word 2.0 — We are exploring Genesis 17:1-21. In this passage, God clearly lays out the vision for Abraham and Sarah. However, because of Abraham's limiting beliefs about his age, he tries to downgrade the vision. The main revelation we are going to process is the importance of not changing the vision God gives us to fit our limitations.   Links — CFE Atlanta, Bible Study , Open Forums , Onli...

Open Forum — We discussed that we need to let go of traditions to see the new future God has for us. We also examined that if you are too busy, you can't hear God and that success is not a numbers game.     Links — CFE Atlanta, Bible Study , Open Forums , Online Community ,   Partnership
