Discussion: Let go of your mistakes

November 15, 2020 17:53 - 1 hour - 80.9 MB

When we make mistakes we have to be courageous enough to let them go. Maybe you started a business you should not have, perhaps you said 'yes' to a project that is out of alignment with your calling, or you hired (or partnered with) someone you should not have. In these cases and others, once you realize your mistake, we have to be bold and let go of the project, job, partnership, etc., and trust God to fix the aftermath. Links: Join and/or Partner

Discussion: How to process the US election results

November 01, 2020 16:20 - 1 hour - 60.4 MB

In the 2020 election believers are voting very differently and are very passionate about their candidate. Each side believes their candidate is God's choice to lead now or is better than the other. Thus, part of the Body of Christ will be upset with the results of the election. There will be celebrations and I told you so’s. Therefore it is important as believers to be aware of how God moves in matters of human leadership, so we can process the results correctly. Links: Join and/or Partner

Pastoral Chat: How has God gifted you to function in your calling?

October 30, 2020 02:18 - 2 minutes - 3.88 MB

Knowing what you are called to do is just the first step to success. Once you are clear about your calling, the next question to clarify is, "how has God gifted you to function in your calling?" Do you function as a deep thinker, someone who get things done quickly, someone who thrives under pressure, etc. God can give two people the same calling, but those callings are implemented differently because God gifted them to function differently.

All faith is not real “FAITH” that gets results

October 29, 2020 04:00 - 9 minutes - 11.9 MB

God has given every human the ability to have faith. Some use this ability to have faith that their education will land them a high paying job. Others have faith that medical doctors can repair something broken in their body. However, they might discover that faith in their education, doctors, etc., does not gain them the desired results. The reason is that faith in anything other than God lacks the power to get results. Links: Join and/or Partner

How to receive wisdom for your calling

Your success is not based on hard work, your work ethic, or any other form of effort, but is based on receiving wisdom from God.

Balancing your family and calling isn’t a problem solve

October 26, 2020 04:00 - 8 minutes - 10.2 MB

We have to navigate between caring for our families and spending time in our calling. In fact, both your calling and your family are from God, thus He wants both to succeed. The tension between family and calling is not a problem to balance or solve, but just part of our life.  Links: Join and/or Partner

Discussion: The hard work myth

October 25, 2020 15:06 - 1 hour - 78.9 MB

You have probably heard that hard work is the key to success; however, you know many people (and maybe yourself included) who work hard, but success is far from them. This is because hard work is wasted energy if it’s not directed by wisdom. Links: Join and/or Partner

Pastoral Chat: What if I can't focus?

October 23, 2020 16:16 - 5 minutes - 7.28 MB

Focusing on your calling over a significant period of time will bring success. However, for many people focusing on one thing for a long period of time is a challenge. Let's face it: that can be boring. So we have a paradox—focus can be boring, but focusing is required for success. In today's Pastoral Chat, I share three things you can do to help you focus without getting bored. Links: Join and/or Partner

What did Jesus say about divorce and remarriage

October 22, 2020 04:00 - 12 minutes - 15.4 MB

Divorce and remarriage are two of the most disputed topics in the body of Christ. Some say you should never get a divorce and, if you do, you can never be remarried. Others say divorce is okay because of adultery. And another group says you can divorce and remarry for any reasons. In today’s message, I examine what Jesus says about these two issues.

How close are you to your dream

October 21, 2020 04:00 - 15 minutes - 16.8 MB

Let’s have some real talk. More than likely, the dream God placed in your heart of your entrepreneurial calling is going to take a while, which means you are going to be tempted to quit because it is taking too long. It may even feel like God forgot about you. But rest assured He has not. Everyone’s dreams take time to manifest, and there are neither magic pills nor secret techniques to speed them up. The main techniques you need are simply trusting in God and having patience. As you follo...

Discussion: Who are you?

October 18, 2020 15:06 - 1 hour - 70.7 MB

The answer to the question “who are you” holds the key to your inner peace and success. However, many believers have placed their identity in what they do instead of who they are. The Holy Spirit recently dropped these words in my spirit: "Your identity is based on who you are in Christ, not based on what you do for Christ.

Lack of submission is a major reason for failure

October 16, 2020 04:00 - 10 minutes - 12 MB

Entrepreneurship culture promotes the idea of starting your own thing, so you can be your own boss. This idea basically promotes an escape from submission. However, this is a dangerous motive, because, to succeed in entrepreneurship, you need to be able to submit to other people.

To achieve success you have to stop lying to yourself about why you want success

October 15, 2020 04:00 - 11 minutes - 13.4 MB

If you ask most Christians why they want success in business, they’ll say something like, “to make a lot of money, so I can extend the Kingdom of God.” This is a noble motivation, but most Christians who say this are lying to themselves, because they believe God would not approve of their true motive. Here’s the problem: when you lie to yourself about why you want success, you won’t be successful. Success is built on true motives. And guess what, if your true motive is to make a lot of m...

Alone time with God needs to increase as success increases

As you become more successful, your time is going to be more in demand from clients, new opportunities, requests for partnerships, and people asking for advice. To stay centered with God and not become overwhelmed, we need to take intentional long-periods of time to be alone with God. Listen to today’s message to learn more about this concept.

Discussion: Is your faith ready to take that step?

October 11, 2020 15:48 - 1 hour - 103 MB

The next step in your calling will move you forward in a mighty way. However, don't take that step until your faith is ready for it. When it comes to faith, we can not fake it until we make it. We all have to be honest about our level of faith, because without the correct level of faith, the next step in our calling will be a disaster. It's better to pause and build up your faith, then take that next step when your faith is ready. Listen to the replay from today's discussion to explore this ...

Doing the right thing (Grace vs. Law)

October 08, 2020 04:00 - 10 minutes - 14.5 MB

There is a big question among believers about following the Law from the old convent verses not following it because we are now under Grace. After researching the scriptures, I am comfortable saying that as new testament believers, we are under Grace, not Law. However, does this mean we can do anything we want? Well, no. Listen to today's message and learn how we do what is right because of Grace and not because of Law. Links: Join our community, Partner with us

Decisions are yours to make

October 05, 2020 04:00 - 11 minutes - 15.3 MB

We find ourselves feeling powerless because we don’t realize who we are in Christ and that God has given us the power of decision. And with this power comes great responsibility, but it is our power to use. For example, many women in abusive marriages look to pastors and Bible teachers to answer the question, “Should I get a divorce or should I stay?” And many women get answers that they find unsatisfactory in either direction, and they are plunged into a feeling of powerlessness. Or maybe y...
