Shae Bynes, from Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur and advisor to Church for Entrepreneurs, is interviewing Dallas about how he got started in film and how God used a significant career disappointment i...

There is a misconception that says, "If God called me to start a business or ministry, then I will not lack anything." Well, this is not quite true. As you are on your entrepreneurial journey, God may lead you through periods of financial lack. Now, He is not causing the lack, but the road to your calling may be paved with financial lack.

In May, stay-at-home restrictions are going to be released in many states and cities. However, churches are going to act in one of two ways. Some Pastors will keep their churches closed while others will open up immediately. Here's what might happen (if we are not careful): Christians will call those who decide to stay home faithless, and those Christians who stay home will call those who go to ch...

The results we reap are a direct product of the thoughts we think. Our minds are the engines that drive our success; therefore, we have to intentionally program how we think. If we allow worldly thinking to program our minds, then we will reap success mired with sorrows and pain. If our minds have a mixture of worldly and godly programming, then we will be unsuccessful and frustrated. However, if...

Most times when we don't achieve our goals it's because we set those goals without input from God. Setting a goal without a word from God equals trying to throw a rock at the moon. Allow God to set your goals, and watch your goal achievement rate dramatically increase to almost 100%. Links Ministry School Partnership

Christian entrepreneurs worldwide are trying to "figure out" how to succeed in their calling. However, figuring it out is stressing many of us out. Why? Because God has not called us to make success happen, but to receive success in our calling.

God speaks to us mainly through His written word. However, He is also in the business of giving us dreams and/or visions as part of our toolkit for direction for our entrepreneurial calling. A simple distinction I use between them is that dreams happen when you are asleep and visions happen when you are awake. In today's Daily Word I am providing a few basic principles to interpret dreams and visi...

Today's manifest story is with Paul Wilson, Jr. He is area director of the Small Business Development Center in Atlanta GA. Shae Bynes, from Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur and advisor to Church for Entrepreneurs, is interviewing Paul about how God shifted him from full time entrepreneurship into being an employee working for an organization that serves entrepreneurs. In his story, see how God takes u...

One of the main things this pandemic has caused is fear. People are afraid to be in close proximity to other human beings. While social distancing is a tool to help combat the pandemic, after the pandemic is over the experience of social distancing will leave most of the human population scarred with fear. This embedded fear in people's souls will keep many inside even when it is safe to travel, a...

There is a lot of talk online about how businesses and ministries need to pivot to adjust to the current crisis we are overcoming. In general this is good advice, but it is absolutely the wrong advice if you don't have an unction from Holy Spirit to pivot. As believers we don't allow circumstances to dictate our calling. Watch this quick Faith Chat to hear my thoughts on this. Links Ministry Schoo...

When I was younger, I believed that if I had enough faith, I would be invincible from all problems. However, as I got older and learned more about the Bible, I discovered that it is not quite like that. While having faith does overcomes all problems, faith does not make me invincible like superman. Rather, faith makes me a child led by my father, God. Links Ministry School Partnership

After a few weeks of quarantines, serious disagreements between governments and churches and contentions within the Christian community have emerged. Some are strongly in agreement with the current attempts at reducing the pandemic through quarantines, while others feel that it is overreaching. Christians who don't follow social distancing and mask wearing are calling Christians who do faithless....

We have learned that fear produces a life of failures, and this is a life we don't want. Since fear is a dangerous spiritual force, we need to remove it. Listen to today's Daily Word to discover the root cause of fear and the solution to remove it from your life. Links: Advice Partnership

Jesus' calling was to die on the cross, go to hell, and be raised up so we could be saved. We often assume that this was easy to do because, after all, Jesus is the son of God. However, this is far from the truth. Jesus walked the earth as a man and had to overcome stress and fear (just like the rest of us) to fulfill his calling. Listen to the replay from our Faith Discussion (from April 12, 2020...

The vision that God has given to you requires faith to achieve. However, if you have people in your circle of influence who are casting doubt over your vision, either in words or actions, their unbelief will contaminate your faith. When this happens, your once strong faith becomes ineffective and your vision fails. You need to remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence in order to avo...

The word God spoke to my heart for 2020 was clarity. In particular, that those of us who implement their calling in clarity would experience unprecedented levels of success. However, in the midst of 2020 a global economic shutdown has occurred, so does that mean the word for this year is wrong? No. In fact, the global crisis is acting like a purifier that is clarifying (if we allow it) our calling...

It may seem like you have been working endlessly to accomplish your vision with little to no success. But whatever God has called you to do, it has a due season for success. However, the caveat to receiving your due season is not to quit and not to lose faith. Listen to today's Daily Word and build up your faith to step into your due season.

I'm sitting on the back porch tonight and felt led to record a faith chat. What is on my heart is to encourage you to not  let  this global shutdown crush your vision.  Yes ,  for some, the vision may have to pause for a moment, but it's just  a  pause  —  not hing else . For others, your vision needs to continue function ing  during the shutdown.  Listen in to explore this with me tonight. Links:...

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 the bad, but...

Finding solutions to problems such as a global health crisis is not faith versus science, rather it is faith guiding science. When faith and science attack each other, we significantly increase the time it takes to solve problems. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn more about this concept.

Faith is not "see it then believe it." Instead, it is "believe it then see it." Faith brings your desires into the present. Faith doesn't stop working just because our calling is challenged by a world crisis. Faith doesn't believe in facts. Faith changes facts. Faith dictates your calling, not the facts of circumstances.

Think about the time when you were in high school. In order to advance to the next grade, you had to pass some tests. In the same way, to advance to the next level in your vision, God is going to give you a test first. In today's Daily Word, we'll learn how God tests us to determine if we are ready to advance to the next phase of our calling. Links: Ministry School Partnership

God has many powerful promises in His word, like living without debt, in perfect health, and lacking nothing. These promises are accessed through our faith, but let's face it: Our faith may come up short. However, don't get in condemnation, because the promises of God are not all or nothing. God meets us at our current level of faith, so we can walk partially in His promises until we develop our f...

Your way is any way that is planned and implemented without the counsel of God. Most times you have good intentions, because you are walking in God's calling for your life, so it seems like you are in God's will. However, no matter how great your intentions, your way can lead to unnecessary delays and collateral damage to your marriage, friendships, followers, finances, and/or health. Links: Praye...

I had a strong leading from God in my spirit to explore with you the question of "How do we know who is prophesying correctly?" Why? Because in times of crisis, many people rise up and declare "what thus saith the Lord is." If you just casually glance at social media, this is not too hard to find (especially since everyone is preaching online these days). One prophet says this. Yet another says th...
