Episodes
Your feelings can discern your calling
February 01, 2022 05:00 - 11 minutes - 16.2 MBDaily Word — As believers, we downplay our feelings and treat them like a bad guide. We do this because many of us have been taught not to trust our feelings. However, God created our feelings, just like He created our body and spirit, so why would we throw away something He created? Instead of throwing our feelings away, let’s learn to use them. A born again believer who studies and meditates the Word consistently can trust their feelings as a guide to discern their calling.

Despising small things will cause you to miss God
January 31, 2022 03:18 - 1 hour - 112 MBSunday Service Online — Living in a society of instant gratification has created a strong desire to circumvent the process. This has robbed us of patience, causing us to despise necessary steps to achieve our callings. Avoiding these steps have caused many to be misled, and even wander, unable to reach the place of their callings. There is a process in working out the potential of your gifts that will ultimately lead you to your calling. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partners...

January 28, 2022 05:00 - 10 minutes - 14.6 MBDaily Word — Does God desire for you to have lots of money? Why are non-Christians rich? Is financial prosperity meant for every Christian or just some?

Don't try to figure it out
January 27, 2022 23:13 - 57 minutes - 78.2 MBOpen Forum — We discussed that God wants us to stop trying to figure out our next move, but to just keep doing what we know to do. As we do what we know to do, He will show us the correct paths to take. We also discussed embracing your uniqueness because you are the missing pieces to someone else's puzzle, taking care of your family first, to not be ashamed of your current results, and a few other interesting topics.

You are perfect for your calling
January 26, 2022 05:00 - 11 minutes - 16.8 MBDaily Word — God chooses people to do things who seem like the wrong choice to normal eyes. For example, He calls high school dropouts to start colleges, medical doctors to open art galleries, and so on. God specializes in using people who are seemingly the wrong person to do amazing things. If God called you to do it, then you are the perfect person to do it.

Managing expectations
January 25, 2022 18:28 - 56 minutes - 77.2 MBOpen Forum — Today, I shared my thoughts on the results of our second in-person service in Atlanta, Ga. At this service, we had 70% less attendance than our first service. Although I wanted to see more people at the second service, God has already shown me beforehand that the second service would start the building process of CFE Atlanta. Thus we would have lower numbers. We discussed the importance of placing our faith in what God shows us instead of our faith in our personal expectation...
Why God ideas fail to succeed (Part II)
January 24, 2022 05:00 - 9 minutes - 13.7 MBDaily Word — We have all experienced this: You get an idea from God for the marketplace. Then, you implement that idea, but no one buys it, or you sell very little of it. What is the deal? In today’s message (which is Part 2), I am examining why God ideas fail to be successful from an internal perspective. Links — Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership
Don’t assume the application of your gifts
January 24, 2022 02:10 - 1 hour - 118 MBSunday Service Online — The application of our God-given gifts (aka talents) is our calling. What our gifts are is easy to determine because they have been there our whole life. However, discovering God’s desired application of our gifts (in terms of whom to serve with our gifts and how to serve them through our gifts) is harder because worldly patterns can easily lead us to make incorrect assumptions about how we should use our gifts.

Why God ideas fail to succeed (Part I)
January 23, 2022 05:00 - 11 minutes - 16.8 MBDaily Word — A God idea is insight from God to your spirit to implement a particular idea in the marketplace. These ideas are designed to be profitable, but many believers struggle to find success with them. In today’s message (which is Part 1), I am examining why this is the case.

God does not need a PR person
January 21, 2022 15:00 - 1 minute - 2.19 MBPastoral Chat — Christians are messy, and will misrepresent God. God knew this from the beginning. Therefore, God doesn't need us to be his PR person by us pretending to be perfect. If we try to be God's PR person, we won't implement our calling because we will be afraid of making a mistake on the chance that we will misrepresent God.

Your gift is important
January 17, 2022 03:32 - 1 hour - 120 MBSunday Service Online — For many believers, it is hard to embrace the concept that the gift (the thing you are talented at) God has given them is important. They may look at their gift and say, “How does drawing advance the Kingdom of God?” or “How is my gift of teaching third grade math important to God?” Well, here is the thing: if God gave you the gift, then it is important to Him and has a purpose within the Body of Christ, even if you don't understand why. We have to accept by faith tha...

January 13, 2022 20:02 - 55 minutes - 75.2 MBOpen Forum — Today we discussed that when you start a new business project, it is like giving birth to a new baby.

God’s blessing for your success is not based on societal biases
January 11, 2022 05:00 - 10 minutes - 14.6 MBDaily Word - Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don’t have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success. However, none of that matters to God because God’s blessing for your success is not based on societal biases. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership
Is the anointing for that assignment gone?
January 09, 2022 05:00 - 12 minutes - 17.9 MBDaily Word - It is critical for us to stay aware of God’s current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will allow us to keep going without His anointing. However, this is not a good situation for us because without the anointing, that same assignment th...

God made me rich
January 02, 2022 05:00 - 12 minutes - 17.7 MBDaily Word - Awhile back I had a dream. In the dream, on my clothes were written the words, “God made me rich.” After waking up, the interpretation came to me. God wanted me to boldly declare (in a visible way) to everyone who was the source of my prosperity. However, this vision is not just for me — it is for you as well. Links - Atlanta, Join, Partner
Anointed growth needs HER
January 01, 2022 05:00 - 10 minutes - 14.2 MBDaily Word - Welcome to 2022. At our last service of last year, I shared that the word for 2022 is Grow. In this year of growth, there is a specific anointing from God to grow in our calling. This word means that for some of us, it’s time to start something new within our calling. For others, it’s time to re-start some old things that were put on the shelf, and for most of us, it’s time to reach more people. Our motto, for us to say to ourselves to build our faith to grow, is: it’s time. How...

Faith does not care about inequalities
December 26, 2021 05:00 - 9 minutes - 13.6 MBDaily Word - Many countries in our world have systematic inequalities where some people are held back and others are promoted based on race, gender, age, education, etc. This shouldn’t be, but one day God dropped into my spirit that faith does not care about inequalities. The simple interpretation of this is that we succeed in life through our faith, regardless of any worldly inequalities. Links - Join, Partner
Merry Christmas - It is because of Jesus not your actions
December 25, 2021 05:00 - 5 minutes - 8.61 MBMerry Christmas everyone. Thanks for your prayers and encouraging words as my family and I overcome COVID. It’s Christmas day, and I have a short message I want to deliver to you. The message is that it is because of Jesus, not your actions. Many Christians believe that their actions make them worthy or unworthy to receive things from Jesus. However, that is far from the truth. We receive the desires of our heart- healing, finances, relationships, etc. -because Jesus loves us. The receiving ...
Is it the “Door” or the “Key”
December 24, 2021 05:00 - 9 minutes - 13.6 MBDaily Word - I am tackling the question of manifestation. In particular, why hasn’t the manifestation of a promise of God happen for you yet?

How to create a happy and exciting marriage within the next 6 months
December 21, 2021 05:00 - 11 minutes - 16 MBDaily Word - God didn’t design marriage to be depressing and unfulfilling. However, because marriage is between two imperfect people, marriage can easily become unfun and difficult. In today’s message, I am presenting a six-month process to turn a marriage from drudgery to happiness and excitement. This is important because there is a connection between having a happy marriage and succeeding in a God-given calling. Links - Join, Partner
The Word for 2022 is Grow
December 20, 2021 01:45 - 1 hour - 110 MBSunday Service - At the beginning of each year, God shares with me a word that He desires for those who are connected with Church for Entrepreneurs to focus on for that entire year. The word for 2022 is Grow. In 2022, there is a specific anointing from God to grow in your calling. This word means that in 2022, for some of us, it’s time to start something new within our calling. For others, it’s time to re-start some old things that were put on the shelf, and for most of us, it’s time to reac...

It’s time to believe for real
December 15, 2021 05:00 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MBDaily Word - I am addressing the idea that if we want to see results, we must believe “for real.” Many Christians desire things (e.g., a new house, improved health, success in business, etc.). However, they don’t truly believe that they will receive their hearts’desires. This lack of faith kills their results. Without true and unwavering belief, we are not in position to receive from God the things we desire. Links - Join, Partner

Understanding Your Control Center
December 13, 2021 01:22 - 1 hour - 106 MBSunday Service - The bible instructs us to live by the spirit and not the flesh. This is because the abundant life that Jesus died for us to have, will come from our spirits through our souls. We are to live through our spirits, surrendering our souls to the dictates of Holy Spirit. But if the soul is not developed or renewed, we will miss the abundant life intended for us.

Satan can't read our thoughts
December 10, 2021 05:00 - 10 minutes - 14.9 MBDaily Word - Many believers give Satan too much power over them. They do this by contributing God-like attributes to him. For example, God can read our thoughts, so many assume Satan can as well. However, he is a fallen angel, not God. Therefore, Satan can’t read our thoughts and bring the fears in our thoughts to pass. This revelation brings peace, so we can process and work through fearful thoughts without being afraid that Satan knows what we are thinking and can use that against us. Li...

Think on God’s level to prosper
December 07, 2021 05:00 - 9 minutes - 13.1 MBDaily Word - What holds us back from entrepreneurial success is natural thinking based on our limited resources. For example, God calls you to open up a daycare, but you only have one hundred dollars in the bank. Your natural thinking says, “I don’t have enough to do it.” However, God’s thinking says you have enough money; you just need to use your faith to get more. For us to prosper, we must think on God’s level. Links - Join, Partner
Tithes, curses, and blessings
December 07, 2021 04:56 - 29 minutes - 41 MBBible Study - Last Sunday, I discussed how I believe that giving to ministries should be done based on a leading from the Holy Spirit instead of following the Old Covenant rule of tithing. However, I did not show all the Bible research I did to come to this conclusion. In this longer format message, I go through the Bible study I went through to come to this conclusion. If you would like to hear all the details and have about 30 minutes, then I invite you to listen to this message. Links -...

Performance Christianity does not please God
November 28, 2021 05:00 - 10 minutes - 15 MBDaily Word - Do you pray because you are supposed to? Do you go to church because you have to? Do you tithe or give because you are robbing God if you don’t? Well, I know I have done these things and felt these ways before. This is because I used to be a performance Christian. Meaning, I would do things out of obligation. If I didn’t pray enough, or give enough, or go to church enough, etc., then I felt condemned. However, after studying the Word and gaining insight from Holy Spirit, I have ...

November 22, 2021 02:34 - 1 hour - 98.6 MBSunday Service - There are two paths of life in which we can choose. A life path of our own effort or the life path predestined for us by God. The life path of our own effort involves much toil. The life path God has for us involves resting in His finished works. Therefore, we have before us, death and destruction or life and prosperity. Today, we will explore the difference between the two. Links - Join, Partner
