Discussion: Let go of your mistakes
November 15, 2020 17:53 - 1 hour - 80.9 MBWhen 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 MBIn 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.

October 30, 2020 02:18 - 2 minutes - 3.88 MBKnowing 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?"

All faith is not real “FAITH” that gets results
October 29, 2020 04:00 - 9 minutes - 11.9 MBGod 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.

The reason is that faith in anything other than God lacks the power to get results. Links: Join and/or Partner

October 23, 2020 16:16 - 5 minutes - 7.28 MBFocusing on your calling over a significant period of time will bring success.

What did Jesus say about divorce and remarriage
October 22, 2020 04:00 - 12 minutes - 15.4 MBDivorce 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. Links: Join us, Partner with us
How close are you to your dream
October 21, 2020 04:00 - 15 minutes - 16.8 MBLet’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.

The main techniques you need are simply trusting in God and having patience. As you follo...

Lack of submission is a major reason for failure
October 16, 2020 04:00 - 10 minutes - 12 MBEntrepreneurship culture promotes the idea of starting your own thing, so you can be your own boss. This idea basically promotes an escape from submission.

To achieve success you have to stop lying to yourself about why you want success
October 15, 2020 04:00 - 11 minutes - 13.4 MBIf 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...

Discussion: Is your faith ready to take that step?
October 11, 2020 15:48 - 1 hour - 103 MBThe 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.

Decisions are yours to make
October 05, 2020 04:00 - 11 minutes - 15.3 MBWe 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...
