  • Misappropriating Glory: You Work Isn’t About You, 353

    Misappropriating Glory: You Work Isn’t About You, 353
    Jun 8 2026
    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! Drawing from a raw, honest conversation with a circle of trusted sisters in Christ — and some deeply convicting scripture — this episode unpacks one of the most subtle and dangerous traps for high-achieving Christian women in business: taking the glory that belongs to God and making it about ourselves. In This Episode: The conversation in a circle of sisters that sparked this whole episode What "misappropriating glory" means — and why it is simply pride by another name Why having all the tools, gifts, and talents to make things happen can actually become a trap The question posed that will make every high-achiever pause: "Are you willing to not be used?" A vulnerable personal share about a quiet season in business — and what the Lord is saying through it Scripture References: Ephesians 2:10 Colossians 3:23-24 Psalm 37:7 Psalm 90:16-17 Psalm 2:10-11 Key Takeaway: Work is holy — but it was never about our gain. It was always about his glory. When outcomes don't look the way we expected, the question isn't "did I do enough?" The question is, "Am I willing to glorify him even in the stillness?" Because sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is be still and wait expectantly on him. Reflection Questions From This Episode: Are you working from a place of worship — or a place of self-reliance? Have you gotten ahead of the Lord in your productivity or marketing because you're afraid of what happens if you slow down? Are you willing to not be used in the way you expected? What would it look like to glorify him equally in a full season and a quiet one? Resource Mentioned: C.S.

  • Jesus’ 5 Instructions for Letting Him Lead Your Christian Business

    Jesus’ 5 Instructions for Letting Him Lead Your Christian Business
    Jun 1 2026
    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. And the result of carrying that weight alone often looks like burnout, broken relationships, and a faith that stays neatly contained to Sunday. There's a better way — and Jesus gives us five clear instructions for it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why meditating on God's Word (Joshua 1:7–9) is the first and foundational step to letting Jesus lead your business — and what it actually produces What it means to truly follow Jesus as a Christian entrepreneur (hint: it requires sacrifice and the surrender of self-direction) How John 15 reframes everything about productivity and accomplishment — and why "without me, you can do nothing" is not a warning but a truth wrapped in grace & love Why we seek everyone else's counsel before we seek His — and how Matthew 6:33 corrects that pattern What walking in your new self (2 Corinthians, Ephesians) has to do with how you show up in your Christian business today The powerful example of Peter in Luke 5 — and what his "at your word, I will let down the net" teaches us about obedience in the face of doubt Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:5 Matthew 22:37–38 Joshua 1:7–9 Matthew 16:24 Romans 8:28 John 15:5 Matthew 6:33 2 Corinthians 5:17 Ephesians 4:20–24 Luke 5:1–11 Key Takeaway: Whether you're scaling an established business or refining what you've built, this episode will remind you that Jesus has the exact instructions for how to let Him lead what He's already placed in your hands. And when you follow those instructions, you’ll experience the full measure of His joy and peace as you work! Reflection Questions to Apply Today’s Episode Which of the five instructions — meditate, follow, abide, seek, or walk in your new self — are you most naturally living out in your business, and which one is Jesus inviting you to surrender more fully to Him today? Where in your business are you leading yourself instead of letting Jesus lead? What would it look like to say, like Peter, "At your word, I will move" in that specific area? What old habits, past failures, or need for control are keeping you from walking fully in the new creation He's already made you to be — and what is one step you can take this week to release that to Him?

  • Competition is a Myth: A Controversial Commentary, 351

    Competition is a Myth: A Controversial Commentary, 351
    May 25 2026
    What if competition is a myth for kingdom business leaders? That's the bold claim at the heart of this episode, but the truth is: your assignment is secured! Closing out May with a controversial commentary on competition: truth or myth? In This Episode: Why competition in the world can drive excellence — but operates very differently in the kingdom How coveting and comparison are the real dangers hiding behind competitive thinking What Exodus 31 reveals about God giving specific gifts and talents for specific commissions What Acts 17:24-26 tells us about appointed times and the boundaries of where and how we work Why Galatians 6:4-5 calls us to examine our own work — not compare ourselves to others The Hebrew meaning behind "boundary lines" in Psalm 16:6 — and why your inheritance is beautiful even when it doesn't look the way you expected Scripture References: Exodus 31:1-6 Acts 17:24-26 Galatians 6:4-5 Psalm 16:5-6 Key Takeaway: You are fearfully and wonderfully made — and so is every other kingdom business leader. What God has assigned you is specific and different from everyone else, so the world’s idea of competition is never a factor for your Kingdom business! Reflection Questions From This Episode: Are you spending more energy watching what competitors are doing than seeking the Lord for your own message? Do you trust that the Lord has already aligned the right clients to work with you at the right time? What would it look like to stop trying to differentiate yourself by the world's standards and let him define what makes you distinct? What boundary lines has he drawn for you that you've been resisting or resenting? God made you ambitious, but He didn’t make you for business as usual. And that means you don't have to compete — you just have to be obedient.
