While you believe that the Lord is your Provider, how do you define provision as a Christian entrepreneur? And what if whatever challenge you're facing IS the provision?

It's so easy to think our productivity and progress are OURS, which is a slippery slope to misappropriating glory, i.e., taking the glory that belongs to God, when it's clearly not about us!

While we desire to let Jesus lead, wouldn't it be GREAT to have clear instructions on how to do that? Many of us high-achieving Christian women are letting Jesus lead in some places but not others.

There's a better way — and Jesus gives us five clear instr...

What does it look like to operate in Kingdom business vs. the world’s way? Let’s take a look at three disciplines Jesus gave us for doing so, starting with a lesson from Simon Peter’s obedience in Luke 5: “Nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the nets.”  In short, we are to have the same response, “at Your word, Lord, I will obey.” How do we surrender our ambition to operate this way? By fo...

In this episode, we’re learning from Job, Romans, and Colossians to counter the world’s messages to “...
