Church for Entrepreneurs

To lead, you don't need to lose weight, dye your hair, change your eye color, or do anything else society finds attractive. Your ability to lead is not based on what's attractive to society, but the anointing that's on your life. This is critical to know because if you think (or even slightly think) your ability to lead is tied to looking like what society finds attractive, then you will fail. Tak...

We had a great live discussion today about George Floyd. Multiple races and countries were represented, which provided a rich perspective. The discussion was not recorded, but I have recorded this short podcast sharing the thoughts that emerged from this much - needed discussion.  Links Workshops Partnership

Watching a person be murdered on social media is a traumatic experience for all who watched — regardless of race. However, it causes extra trauma for those of the same ethnicity as the person being murdered because they have seen this evil behavior many times before and have watched the perpetrator of the injustice go unpunished. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn how I process injustice throug...

When harm (intentionally or unintentionally) comes to us or those we love at the hands of another human, our flesh cries out for vengeance. However, vengeance is a seed we cannot afford to sow because the harvest of the vengeance seed is death. The only person who can handle the harvest of vengeance is God. Listen to today's Daily Word to explore this concept. Links Workshop Partnership

The vision God has given you requires you to change your mind. From interacting with negative people and having negative experiences, our minds are filled with limiting thoughts. Thoughts like "People like us don't do that," "You don't have the money for that," "You'll never achieve that goal," etc. Those thoughts must be rooted out of our minds if we are to achieve all God has for us to do. The n...

Most believers already have a good basic knowledge of what God has called them to do because God has not been hiding it from them. He has revealed it to them throughout their lives. The real issue is that many of us have not accepted our calling. We are full of self doubt and excuses. However, until we willingly accept our calling, we can't even begin to be successful. Listen to this replay from o...

It has been a rough week in America from a police officer killing an unarmed African American to riots in the streets. In today's Faith Chat, I want to share with you a revelation God showed me about the paradox of America that can help explain what's happening. On one hand America is great and on the other hand it is corrupt. This message will give you a biblical perspective on why things are hap...

Believers will often say, "If God wants me to go this way, then He will open a door of opportunity," or, "this door closed because God has something better for me." God may open or close doors of opportunity, but the state of the door (aka opportunity) doesn't indicate the will of God for your life. Watching doors open and close can mislead you and put you in a state of confusion. Listen to today'...

You may think that because I have a PhD in Engineering I am really smart. Well, maybe I am and maybe I am not. I have a PhD not from being smart, but from being focused and persistent. Success in your calling comes not from being smart, but from focus and persistence. In today's Faith Chat, I explore this idea with you and share a major learning challenge I have struggled with my whole life, that...

Once again, the USA finds itself in the midst of racial tensions due to the death of an unarmed black American at the hands of a white police officer. There are many voices demanding justice and desiring everyone to speak up and do something. However, what should be done? After meditating on this question, the Holy Spirit whispered to me, "Play your position." Listen to today's Daily Word to explo...

If you are like me, you want to know how everything works. And when they don't work, you want to know why. However, this attitude can stunt our spiritual growth because we won't know some things about God and His ways until the return of Christ. We have to be able to live with this mystery. Adopting this attitude about learning the Word of God helps us not to lose faith when things don't work out...

Each day of our life, seeds are being intentionally and unintentionally sown into our hearts which either produce the fruit of faith, or fear. This is important because the results you experience in your life are based on faith or fear. Faith that is acted on produces success; and fear creates inaction, which produces failure. Thus, most of us are experiencing wild swings in emotions, various degr...

Are you struggling in your business? Maybe you sometimes succeed in business, but then something bad happens that causes a failure. Well, if you are constantly failing, then you may have sown seeds of failure. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn how to stop sowing seeds of failure and begin succeeding in business by intentionally sowing the results you desire. Links Ministry School Partnership

When God gives us an assignment, there is also a time frame associated with it. If we delay implementing the assignment, then we need to check with God to make sure He still wants us to do it. Going back and doing what God has told us to do in the past (without checking in with Him) could cause unnecessary problems in our life. Listen to this replay from our live  Faith-Discussion  to receive reve...

The Bible teaches that we should leave  an  inheritance for our children's children. Many of us with entrepreneurial callings take this to mean that the business God has called us to build will be an inheritance for our children, who can then pass it on to their children. However, this is not quite the correct way to go about leaving an inheritance. When we leave our children a business, we are le...

As I was meditating on the word, my thoughts went to the account of Jesus walking on water. I have read it many times before, but I felt in my spirit that the Holy Spirit wanted me to see something different about it. So, after reading it again, the Word of the Lord came to me saying that after the shutdowns are over, many of us will experience miraculous restarts. Listen to today's Daily Word to...

A revelation I received from God was that He anoints people, not organizations. This means that the Church for Entrepreneurs is anointed through me. Likewise, your organization is anointed because of the anointing God has placed on you. Our organizations just amplify our calling. The example the Holy Spirit gave me is that of the Black Lion from Voltron. Without the pilot, the Black Lion doesn't w...

The vision statement usually provides the future goals of your business or organization, whereas the mission statement communicates how you serve your customers or clients and the outcomes they can expect. Understanding this critical difference will help you communicate better with your customers or clients. Instead of sharing your vision with them, share your mission. Links Faith Discussions Mini...

The callings that God has placed in our hearts is really simple. If the calling feels complex, then the complexity is coming from us adding things to it God never called us to do. God is not the author of confusion. Confusion comes when we add God's instructions with our assumptions. Links Ministry School Partnership

Your calling from God can be articulated through the what, why and how framework:  what  is the big picture of your calling;  why  is the reason God wants to undertake your calling; and  how is the implementation details of achieving your calling. Knowing the why, why, and how of your calling guides you in making decisions that lead to success in your calling.  Link: Partnership

The spiritual force that brings financial prosperity is the blessing. The blessing is not a reward for good behavior, it is a free gift given to us through Jesus Christ. However, many Christians are not prosperous. Why? Because the blessing for prosperity is activated by the work of our hands. And the location of our hands determine our level of prosperity. If our hands are in other people's busin...

It is likely that the vision God has given you is large and will impact the lives of many people. Therefore, God will probably train you through small victories before you step into the primary calling He has given you. This is similar to being a baby. We must learn to crawl before we walk or run. If we rush straight at the vision God has given us, we won't have the necessary skills (which are dev...

Is God speaking to your spirit to quit your job and leading you to step fully into your calling? If so, then I have a question He wants me to ask you: If not now, when? There is not going to be a perfect time to leave your job. There are always going to be reasons and natural circumstances saying you can't do it. However, God wants me to encourage you in this Faith Chat to consider that the answer...

Many Christians question their ability to lead their calling to success because they are looking at their natural credentials and past track record. However, if God has called you to do it, then He has anointed you to lead it. It's not about your natural ability; you will succeed in leading because of the leadership anointing that God has placed on you. Links Ministry School Partnership
