In her song, The Breakup Song, @francescamusic give us a battle cry against fear: Fear you don’t own me! And in her new book, Fear is Not the Boss of You, @jenniferallwood does an incredible job calling us out on our allowing fear to stop us from doing the work we’re called to do (with love and biblical truth)! This week I dig into some juice bits of the book’s content - I can’t wait for you to ex...

When Paul says in Ephesians 5:15-16 that "the days are evil" it's really about using our time wisely for the Lord and not being distracted. But how do we do that with so much distraction in the world, not to mention the issue of losing track of time during our shelter in place circumstances right now? There is a solution: the daily mode of operation! Let's unpack this and how it impacts the system...

Ever feel like you get excited, make progress, then the "old you" starts pointing out how this work turned out before? The thing is, we're no longer that old us...that person was crucified with Christ and we are a new creation in Him! It's time for us to heed the instructions Jesus gave Lazurus as He raised him from the dead and he emerged from the tomb with his hands and feet bound with burial cl...

In this time when we could lose focus and be overwhelmed with the world's chaos, we may feel like we can barely keep our heads above water in business and life. Not so dissimilar to Peter as he walked toward Jesus on the Sea of Galilee, and lost focus in the storm for a moment, starting to sink. Like Peter, we have Jesus as our focal point and the Word to bring calm in the chaos. And as His ambass...

A recent Instagram post by TobyMac got me thinking about the difference between God's grace and mercy for this episode. It said: "The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us." That's a hard one when we're in the midst of something God led us to (or better yet, is leading us through) for our good and His glory, right? As we face the disruptions to business and live cau...

Continuing our conversation on God's purging and pruning of us to product more fruit, we take a different look this week from Psalm1. As we cling to the Vine and let the Word be the foundation of our business, we are able to yield our unique fruit in His time. The fruit He made us to yield. I can't yield yours, and you can't yield mine, but we sure to spend a lot of time wishing our apple tree cou...

God's pruning of us as branches connected to the Vine of Jesus is definitely painful, even though we understand He does it to produce more fruit in us and for the world.  But what about that part of John 15:2 that speaks to what He takes away or purges instead of pruning? And what does that have to do with our pursuit of success His way on our Hustle with Heart journey?  Tune in and dig in with us...

So much of our life is spent looking back and planning for the future, that being present NOW is often an after-thought.  Yet, God is all about the now, about taking immediate action or being immediately and completely obedience, and throughout scripture we're redirected to now with instructions about not worrying about the past or the future.  So how does that impact our business?  Join us as we...

Virtually everyone pursuing success has heard something to the effect of "know your why." Its been said that when your why is big enough, you can handle any "how," but as God-centered entrepreneurs on this hustle with heart journey, our #1 why is all about Jesus. Join us as we unpack this together and discover how this why truly is most important! The community referenced in the call to action for...

The podcasts Erin references in this episode are: Elevation Church Podcast: This Isn't What I Picture...

Ever feel like you do a great job seeking God's wisdom and insight for your business, but applying it eludes you?  Or maybe you're better at the applying than the seeking?  This week we dig in to a perhaps overlooked book of the Bible (Ezra) to understanding how the two must go hand in hand. The community referenced in the call to action for listeners is the Success God's Way community on FB- wher...

Ever wonder what people mean when they say they "heard" God or received His direction?  Wondering if hearing from Him is somehow reserved for those with special gifts or talents, or maybe you think you're clear on His direction but you're not sure if you correctly discerned His voice?  This we we dig into part of a fantastic book by Priscilla Shirer, Discerning the Voice of God, with 5 "M's" you c...
