Church for Entrepreneurs

Earlier today, our podcast message was about submitting your vision to your spouse. From that message, I received a listener's question asking what should they do if their spouse is not ready to walk in the vision God has given them. Since this question reflects many married couples' situations, I recorded a Pastoral Chat sharing my thoughts on this question for all of us. Link: Partner

Submission in many households is a bad word, but it is a word God loves. We may be familiar with i t in  the context of wives submitting to their husbands. However, this word also applies to our businesses or ministries. If you are married (husband or wife), God expects us to submit our business or ministry to our spouse. Links: Subscribe , Partner

One of our Church for Entrepreneurs' members asked me to address a question in his marriage. He is considering divorcing his wife and is wondering if there are a time and season for divorce. In today's message, I share his story and provide an answer to his question. Links: Subscribe , Partner

Many of us are guilty of over-analyzing the calling and direction God has given us. However, over-analyzing what God has called us to do will delay our success.  Links: Subscribe , Partner

God's word has a lot of promises to us — from financial prosperity to a long, healthy life. However, many of us are not experiencing all the promises of God in our life. Why? Is the word not working? Well ... no. The word works. Listen to today's message to discover why the word may not be working in your life. Links: Subscribe , Partner

We tend to think that any opposition to our prosperity is a spiritual warfare issue. However, the issue can sometimes be the posture of our heart. In today's message (taught by Shanawa Richardson),  we learn how unforgiveness can stop the flow of God's blessings. Links: Discussions , Partnership

Most of our calling is composed of small steps of faith directed by Holy Spirit. However, at opportune times for us to advance to our next level of success within our calling, a bold move of faith is required. All of our previous small steps have built up our faith in God, so when the time comes, we have the required faith to move up in a big way. Our next level is not gained by playing it safe, b...

Your most effective weapon to stay focused on your calling is the simple word, "NO." When you say no to people who are requesting your time, you are saying yes to your calling. Listen to this Pastoral Chat to explore this idea.

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: Discussions , Partnership

Most of us know from Proverbs 10:22 that the blessing of the Lord makes us rich. However, if we are honest and look around us, we will notice that many, if not most, Christians are struggling financially. So is the Bible wrong about us being prosperous? Let's find out in today's message. Links: Discussions , Partnership

Most of us grew up in the midst of debt. Our parents had house and car notes. Our churches had mortgages on the Church builds. And so on. Because of the culture influence of debt many of us have debt on everything from clothes to cars. However, this is not how God designed us to live. He designed us to live debt free because debt hinders the call of God on our life. Links: Discussions , Partnershi...

If God has called you to start a ministry, a question that comes up is: should you profit from your ministry or should you just minister without asking people to sow into your ministry. Listen to today's message to examine this question from a scriptural viewpoint. Links: Discussions , Partnership

Many times when I ask believers why the y  want  to start a business, they usual ly  say they want more money to help extend the Kingdom of God. This sounds good, but it s  usually not their true reason. They 're   saying  what they think they should say   and  not  shar ing  their real motive ,  which is  the  need to make some money. Here is the thing, God is cool with us making money. There is...

There are lots of problems in the world that desperately need to be solved. However, if you desire to be effective for God, you must turn your back on all of them and focus exclusively on the problem God has called you to work on.

There are many things to consider along your entrepreneurial journey, but wholeness is one thing that often gets overlooked. In today's message, we learn why emotional wholeness is critical for prosperity. This message is taught by Shanawa Richardson. For those looking for guidance in their emotional healing journey, Shanawa would like to offer you a free coaching session. 

Success in life is based on our ability to hear the voice of God. His voice guides us safely through life's challenges, helps us understand the holy scriptures, and reveals to us our calling. However, hearing God's voice is not automatic; it's learned. And what better time to learn to hear God's voice but as a child. As parents God has tasked us to teach our children how to hear His voice. Listen...

Imagine a dad promises to buy a car for his daughter. If the daughter doesn't believe her dad's word, then she is expressing that she feels her dad is lying and untrustworthy. This is the same situation when we don't believe God's written word in the Bible or His spoken word to our spirit: we are basically calling God a liar. Links: Workshop , Partnership

It is very tempting to criticize another Christian when we see them doing something that goes against our understanding of scripture. For example, you see a pastor asking her followers to sow into her ministry, so she can purchase a private jet. Perhaps you see a Christian music artist starting to sing secular music. Maybe a Christian entrepreneur is operating his business differently than you wou...

The Bible is black and white on lots of issues. However, there are many issues (we'll face in life) that are not directly addressed in the Bible. These are gray areas of Christianity, and they can weaken your Faith if you aren't careful. Listen to today's message to learn about this concept. Links: Workshop , Partner

In today's message, I am answering a question from one of our listeners. The question is, "Should Christians be secretive in business dealings?" The scenario behind this question is that this listener and their cousin are starting a Christian radio station. They want to purchase a radio commercial in an effort to learn about the process of selling radio air time and commercials. However, they don'...

We talk a lot about following God's directions so that we can succeed in our life and calling. However, how does God get a specific word to us so that we can follow His directions for our life? If we do not understand how this happens, we are not going to hear what He is guiding us to do. Therefore, in today's message, learn how God transmits His instructions to us.

God gives us grace in implementing our calling when we are unsure about some of the details because we all are a work in progress. However, we must be vigilant not to deviate from the details we do know. Success is in the God-ordained details of our calling, and failure is in the deviation from those details. God is good, so He warns us when we are deviating. But our hearts must be open to heed Hi...

Mary's faith to conceive Jesus is a great example for us of how to stretch our mind and spirit to receive the vision God has for us. When presented with the greatest calling of all time (giving birth to the messiah) instead of doubt, Mary stretched her mind beyond human understanding and simply asked - How shall this be.

There are many times along your entrepreneurial journey where you need to quit certain activities to gain more success. These times occur because you either misheard God, or the seasons for those activities have ended. In those times, you need to quit the details, but not the vision, and allow God to course correct or course update. Links Workshop Partner

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. Listen to today's Daily Word to...
