Church for Entrepreneurs

Open Forum - We discussed how if you are truly doing what you are called to do, then you won't desire to quit. You might have difficult times, but quitting won't be an option. We also talked about embracing your gifts and talents, and not conforming to a particular mold. We wrapped up discussing a few other interesting things, including the idea that just because you like doing something, that doe...

Daily Word - Most Christians are confused about what is the "mark of the beast." However, God never intended for this to be a confusing or misunderstood topic, because it has great impact on believers, especially believers in the marketplace. This is because the mark of the beast is an economic system that's designed to force believers to conform to worldly non-Christ-like norms and practices. Lin...

Daily Word - It is not an accident that the moment you accept God's calling for your life that an unexpected sickness or a financial hardship comes your way. These things are attacks of Satan to imprison you in pain and lack to stop you from succeeding in your calling. Well, don't fall for this trick. Use your authority to knock down those prison walls and achieve your calling. Links - Join , Part...

Daily Word - As you are implementing the calling God has given you, unfortunately bad situations will occur along your journey. However, when a bad situation happens, don't focus on why it happened, instead just ask God to fix it and keep pressing until you receive victory. Asking why is a waste of energy and time, and usually doesn't yield satisfactory answers. There is a peace in not focusing on...

Daily Word - As a believer, you are not successful because you make the best business, life or ministry decisions. You are successful because of the anointing on your life. Therefore, don't stress out over the decisions you need to make. Instead, make a decision and relax in the anointing of God. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - With God, all people are created equal and have the same value. However, society does not think this way. Society has evolved to esteem some physical characteristics and social standings as more valuable than others. For example, if you're the right color, the right height, or the right gender, then you may have an advantage over somebody who's doesn't have one of those characteristic...

Open Forum - We talked a lot about having the patience to wait on God to bring the resources for our vision. We also discussed how we can't allow internal or external pressure to cause us to move faster than God. Finally, we looked at how to distinguish between not acting out of fear versus out of a warming for God, and a few other interesting things. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - When bad things happen to us or to others we are tempted to ask, "God, don't you care? Why aren't you doing something about this?" It looks and feels like God is absent or does not care. Well, God does care and has already done something about the bad situations you and others face.  Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - Idle words are words said in passing when you are caught off guard. For example: Someone may ask you, "How are you doing today?" and you may instinctively say, "I have seen better days." Or maybe your child may ask, "Could you buy me this new toy for me?" and you may say, "Honey, we cannot afford that." Well, saying idle words like that negate your words of faith for the great days or...

Open Forum - I reminded everyone about the word of the year - "REST." We discussed information overload, money is an unreliable god, moving to another state, don't over prepare, and other interesting topics. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - Your confession (through the words of your mouth) requests, commands, and receives the things you desire. However, even if you have faith and say the right words, you won't receive what you confess if your words are disconnected from the power source, which is God. Links - Join , Partner

Pastoral Chat - Jesus warned us that in this world we will have problems. Things will come against us to attempt to stop our calling. However, He encouraged us to be at peace because He has overcome all problems, so we will win in the end. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - God has given you a vision for a business, ministry, or nonprofit. However, cash is running low and the vision currently cannot pay your bills. What do you do? Well, don't quit the vision. Instead, look for an additional source of income. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - A counterfeit is defined as anything made in the image of something valuable or important, with the intention to deceive or defraud. As this definition describes, money is a counterfeit of faith. Money is designed to look, feel and act like faith, but it is an imitation of faith designed to defraud you into trusting it instead of placing your faith and trust in God. Links - Join , Par...

Daily Word - As Christians, we are conditioned to charitably give things away; therefore, many Christians who run businesses feel weird and uneasy about selling their products or services in exchange for money. This awkwardness may lead us to under price or give away too much, which can bring about frustration and eventually cause us to go out of business. To succeed in your business, you need a p...

Partnership Friday - On Fridays I have a partnership discussion to encourage people to check their spirit to see if God is calling you to partner with us. Listen to today's partnership discussion and learn why I am honored when people sow small amounts into our ministry. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - A trap that many entrepreneurs and ministers fall into is making their God-given vision their god, instead of the Lord being their God. This is a deceptive trap. All your outward actions may look godly and in line with the vision, but your heart motivation is no longer right. This is dangerous because outward actions are meaningless when your heart motive is wrong. Links - Join , Part...

Open Forum - We discussed if you should join primerica, is it time to move to a new state, open doors doesn't indicate the will of God, stay focus on your calling, it is ok to float for a season or two, and a few other interesting topics. Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - Have you made a mistake implementing the vision God has given you? Maybe you have made many mistakes and it looks like the vision is in jeopardy. If this is the case, don't beat yourself up over it. God has given you an abundance of do-overs. No matter how many mistakes you have made, God is not upset with you. Just keep going.

Daily Word - Because we are children of God, we have an embedded desire to help others. However, before we can help others, we first need to take care of ourselves. If we get this out of order, we will fall and pull others down with us. Once we are whole and stable, we can truly help others.  Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - Worrying about your finances is not healthy because it can cause depression, stress, and sickness. Financial worry is something you don't want in your life. To remove it from your life, however, you must address the root cause – in other words, worry is a sign that money has become your master. Therefore, to remove worry you must switch masters.  Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - God created us as three parts: spirit, soul, and body. The part of us that got born again was our spirit; therefore, the faith that moves mountains lives in our spirit, not our soul (a.k.a. our mind).  Links - Join , Partner

Daily Word - Having a strong desire for something is deceptive because it makes you think you are in faith. However, wanting something badly is not faith. Faith is not a strong desire; it is believing that you will receive the object of your desire. No matter how much you want something, if you don't have faith for it, you will not receive it.
