Unfulfilled desires cause physical sickness that requires spiritual healing
December 03, 2019 05:37 - 8 minutes - 12.4 MBLet's be honest. There are things in life and business that we are desiring from God that just have not happened yet.

December 02, 2019 05:00 - 11 minutes - 15.1 MBKanye West and his conversion to Christianity have garnered many headlines and many people are talking, wondering if it is real or a publicity stunt.

Resist Thanksgiving Depression
November 28, 2019 07:32 - 5 minutes - 7.47 MBIn the United States of America, today is Thanksgiving. It is a time to spend with friends and family; however, it is also a time when depression can creep in. In particular, for entrepreneurs, Thanksgiving signifies that the end of the year is near, which causes us to look back and wonder, "How come we are not more successful in our calling?" When that thought process happens, it can lead to depression. However, we must resist it. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to eq...
God has already made provisions for your faith shortcomings
November 27, 2019 06:29 - 10 minutes - 14.8 MBGod desires for us to win every fight of faith and walk perfectly in our calling.

With this foreknowledge, before He called you, He made provisions for your faith shortcomings so you would still win in the end. Take a listen to today's message to learn more about this concept. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to eq...
Connecting grace, faith, and living holy
November 22, 2019 05:32 - 8 minutes - 11.3 MBVarious bible teachers and pastors preach on the topics of grace, faith, and living holy. Most times you hear these topics in isolation, and depending on who you listen to, it can appear these topics contradict each other. For example, if we are living under grace, do we have to follow God's law to live holy? If we don't live holy, do we fall out of grace? Or how do faith and grace work together to receive the promises of God? In today's message, discover how these three pivotal bible truths...

Family and friends don't have your faith
November 20, 2019 05:00 - 16 minutes - 22.4 MBWhen family and friends don't see immediate results from your entrepreneurial calling, they may give you the advice to quit. Why? Because they don't have the faith to handle the challenge of your calling. Everyone's entrepreneurial calling is filled with challenges, and it requires faith to handle that. However, your family and friends weren't given the faith for your calling. God gave you the faith for it. So don't get upset when others don't support or have faith in what God has called y...
Studying the Bible with Holy Spirit
November 19, 2019 05:26 - 7 minutes - 10.5 MBIn my early twenties, reading the Bible was difficult. To me, it was just words on a page that didn't make any sense. However, as I matured in God, I have discovered that the Bible does make sense. However, we need to bring the Holy Spirit with us when we study the Bible.

We need both Bible and Spirit for guidance
November 18, 2019 05:00 - 12 minutes - 16.9 MBGod has given us two powerful tools to succeed in life and heed our calling. However, for these two tools to be effective, we have to use them actively together. It like having a sword and a shield. They are helpful on their own, but without using both together, you'll lose the battle. The two tools I am referring to are the Bible and Holy Spirit. Listen to today's message to discover how to connect the two successfully. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believe...
God heals
November 15, 2019 05:00 - 11 minutes - 14.8 MBBecause of the sin of Adam, our human bodies get sick, and it doesn't have to be because of anything we did.

Don't confuse your skills with your calling
November 14, 2019 23:16 - 2 minutes - 3.46 MBGod dropped a thought in my heart to share with you: "don't confuse your skills with your calling."

Why did the death of Jesus saved us?
November 12, 2019 05:00 - 9 minutes - 13.1 MBYou have heard that Jesus's death on the cross brought us salvation. However, have you ever wondered why or how did His death save us? If so, listen up.

Is the Christian Bible real?
November 11, 2019 05:00 - 13 minutes - 17.6 MBNone of us were born at the time of Jesus, which means everything we know about Jesus comes from a book called the Bible. That places our entire belief system on a single book. Therefore arises a legitimate question that we should ask: "Is the Bible real?" In today's messages, let's examine this question together.

Uncontrolled feelings are stressful
November 08, 2019 05:00 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MBMost Christians are controlled by their feelings, which is completely backward from God's viewpoint. At times, it may seem impossible, but God has designed us to control our feelings instead of the other way around. When our feelings are out of control, we become stressed, which leads to constant irritability and long-term depression. On the other hand, controlled feelings lead to sustainable peace and unshakable faith. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believer...
Financial stress is defeated by prayer, action, and praise
November 07, 2019 05:00 - 12 minutes - 16.8 MBAs entrepreneurs, we are internally wired to solve problems. So when we are faced with the stress of financial pressures, we jump into action and try everything we know to make more money. However, this is a recipe for disaster, and it just increases the stress. Instead of acting, we should first pray, then do and praise.

Projects that are unauthorized will stress you out
November 06, 2019 05:00 - 12 minutes - 16.7 MBJust because you can do it or it looks profitable or seems helpful doesn’t mean you should do it. The time God has given you on earth is supposed to be filled with projects commissioned by God. When you involve yourself in unauthorized projects (however good they may be), you will stress yourself out because you will be doing it without God. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, follow...
Love is the antidote to stress produced by fear
November 05, 2019 05:00 - 8 minutes - 11.5 MBStress is a by-product of a fear-filled mind. The bible tells us that fear produces torment, and that is exactly what stress is. It is tormenting your mind with thoughts of death and lack. However, the bible also tells that the antidote to stress produced by fear is love.

Stress renders your words of faith powerless
November 04, 2019 13:11 - 8 minutes - 10.8 MBReceiving your blessings (i.e., healing, prosperity, etc.) from God requires you to speak words of faith.

A major key to success is acceptance
November 01, 2019 04:00 - 13 minutes - 18.1 MBMost believers already have a good basic knowledge of what God has called them to do because God has not been hiding it from them. He has revealed it to them throughout their lives. The real issue is that many of us have not accepted our calling. We are full of self doubt and excuses. However, until we willingly accept our calling, we can't even begin to be successful. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given ent...
Signs of your calling have appeared throughout your life
October 31, 2019 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12.9 MBSince your calling is embedded in your spiritual DNA, you have instinctively manifested aspects of your calling throughout your life. Maybe you've gravitated toward particular work assignments or majored in certain things in college. Perhaps in your spare time you did certain things and learned certain things for free, just because you enjoyed them. Your calling has not hidden itself, but has revealed itself over time. Listen to today’s message to learn more about this idea. If God is lead...
Your calling is inside your spirit
October 30, 2019 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12.7 MBThere is no need to look to outside sources to discover what God has called you to do. He placed your calling inside your spirit for you to draw it out. He has hidden it for you inside you. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea.

The What, Why, & How of Your Calling
October 29, 2019 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12.8 MBYour calling from God can be articulated through the what, why and how framework: "What" is the big picture of your calling; "why" is the reason God wants to undertake your calling; and "how" the implement details of achieving your calling. Knowing the why, why, and how of your calling guides you in making decisions that lead to success in your calling. Listen to today's message to explore the idea more fully.

Radical joy from radical giving
October 28, 2019 04:00 - 7 minutes - 9.78 MBOnce a month, I am instructed to remind you about the Word for 2019, “Radical Giving and Receiving,” so you can take full advantage of the harvest God has for you this year. In today’s message, let's look at the radical joy that comes from radical giving. There is joy in seeing your money or efforts help someone.

Imitating the success steps of another believer is a recipe for failure
October 25, 2019 04:00 - 11 minutes - 8.07 MBSo you heard how God told such and such to give away (fill in the blank), and a few weeks later God blessed them with a brand new (fill in the blank). Then you tried it for yourself and got nothing in return. In fact, you ended up in a worse situation than before. Is God playing favorites? No. Listen to today's podcast to learn why imitating the successful steps of another believer is a recipe for failure. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the w...
Stay under the anointing

Success comes from the anointing of God not your decisions
October 24, 2019 04:00 - 10 minutes - 14.3 MBAs a believer, you are not successful because you make the best business, life or ministry decisions. You are successful because of the anointing on your life. Therefore, don't stress out over the decisions you need to make. Instead, make a decision and relax in the anointing of God. Take a listen to today's message to learn about this idea. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, click ...
Don't allow temptation to cause you to give up the vision
October 23, 2019 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12 MBEveryone is tempted to give up on their vision at various times because even God-given ideas experience obstacles occasionally.

God's blessing for success is not based on societal biases
October 22, 2019 04:00 - 9 minutes - 13.4 MBUnfortunately, 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. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea.
Following the Holy Ghost is practical business advice
October 21, 2019 04:00 - 6 minutes - 9.3 MBMany times, when we need business advice, we seek out the latest guru. Yes, human input is important. However, your best source of advice will always be the Holy Ghost. Without His guidance, your likelihood of success is quite low. Listen to today's message to learn more about seeking business advice from the Holy Ghost.
Why the Church is not impacting the world
October 18, 2019 05:25 - 9 minutes - 13.5 MBGod has given the Church great power to impact the world. But why aren't we? In today's message, let's explore the scriptures together to discover the answer.
How to honorably leave a church
October 17, 2019 04:00 - 17 minutes - 24.4 MBResearch shows that two to three million churchgoers leave their church every year. Most leave because of burn out or because they were hurt in someway by their church. With these statistics in mind, in today’s message, I am addressing the reality that so many Christians are contemplating leaving a church.
Becoming the Church is becoming like God
October 16, 2019 04:31 - 9 minutes - 11.9 MBSo far, we have learned that God desires for believers to fellowship together. And when believers do come together, conflict will eventually arise. However, even though the possibility of conflict between believers exists, God still desires us to be in fellowship together regularly. Why? Because the process of becoming the Church is becoming like God. Listen to today's message to dig into this idea.
Why being a Church Member is difficult
October 15, 2019 04:00 - 11 minutes - 15.7 MBI have been a member of a local church for 20 plus years. This has afforded me the opportunity to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of church life. I believe God desires for Christians to gather together on a regular basis, but when people come together over long periods of time conflict arises. In today's message, I am addressing three major reasons why being a church member is difficult with solutions of how to overcome them so you can thrive in your church.
Are Christians required to attend church?
October 14, 2019 04:00 - 12 minutes - 16.8 MBThere is a battle in the body of Christ that is occurring over the question, “Should Christians attend church?” Research shows that each year 3 million Christians stop attending their church, and only 15% of Americans attend a local church. Given that people are leaving church by the millions, I felt led to address this issue in today’s message by examining the scriptures to bring light to the question of church attendance.
Quit your day job with the right motive
October 11, 2019 04:00 - 8 minutes - 12.3 MBOver the last two days, I have been teaching on the topic of "feeling like you need more time." Today I am going to wrap up this topic by discussing the right motive behind desiring to quit your day job. Most Christians with entrepreneurial callings desire to quit their day job because they believe they need more time to put into their calling. However, this is the wrong motive for quitting. Listen to today's message to see why this is the wrong way to think about it and to learn the corre...
Organize your time for anointed speed
October 10, 2019 10:51 - 11 minutes - 16.3 MBI am picking back on the theme of feeling like more time is needed. Yesterday, we discovered that more time is not the key to our success; rather, it is the anointing. In today's message, I want to unpack the idea of using this season of your life when there is less time as an opportunity to learn how to better organize your time because there is an anointed speed on organizing time.
Don't put your faith in more time
October 09, 2019 04:00 - 8 minutes - 11.7 MBIn the beginning, most entrepreneurs work a day job and using their remaining time to work the vision God give them. Under this scenario, most will say "if I had more time, I would be more successful." This thought process places their faith for success in the amount of time they have to work on the vision. However, this is misplacing your faith. You are successful not because of the amount of time you have, but because of the anointing of God on your life.
Is the anointing for that assignment gone?
October 08, 2019 04:00 - 12 minutes - 17.3 MBIt 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 that used to be...
It’s not the tools or techniques!
October 07, 2019 04:00 - 10 minutes - 14.2 MBEntrepreneurs have a tendency to buy the latest business tools and seek out the newest marketing techniques. We do this in an attempt to create success in our business. However, we achieve success not because of the tools or techniques we acquire, but because of the anointing.
It's okay to ask God clarifying questions
October 04, 2019 04:00 - 10 minutes - 13.9 MBRecently I have been feeling like my pursuit of my calling should be further along than it is. Because I was having these feelings, I was condemning myself for them. However, Holy Spirit nudged me to not condemn myself and to ask God some clarifying questions. He was showing me that it is not from a lack of faith that we ask God questions like: Should I be further along? Should I be doing something additional to increase my success? In today's message, let's explore this idea together so we ...
Jesus manifested money any time He needed it
October 02, 2019 04:00 - 14 minutes - 19.2 MBChristians disagree about whether Jesus was rich or poor. However, the question may be ill-conceived, because while money was necessary to Jesus’ life and ministry, it was irrelevant to him personally. Whenever money was required, Jesus manifested money or its equivalent to meet his needs and the needs of those around Him. On today’s podcast, we’re analyzing the ease with which Jesus acquired money, so you can do the same in your life and business.
A level of holiness is a prerequisite for leadership
October 01, 2019 04:00 - 11 minutes - 16.4 MBCurrently, the body of Christ is learning about Grace and how God accepts us just as we are. This means that "getting our lives right" is not a prerequisite for salvation or receiving God's love. However, if we desire to lead and succeed in our calling, then our lifestyle has to line up with how God designed us to live (aka living holy). In fact, living at a certain level of holiness is a prerequisite for leadership in the Kingdom of God. As leaders, we are held to a higher standard. Listen ...
What kind of assignment has God given you?
September 30, 2019 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12.9 MBWhen you receive an assignment from God, it is critical to know if the assignment is for provision or purpose. An assignment for provision is usually temporary and is designed to take care of an immediate financial need, whereas an assignment for purpose is long term and is the reason why you were born. Knowing the difference helps you have the appropriate mindset to implement the assignment and positions you for success in the assignment. Listen to today's message to learn more about this i...
