Thinking and planning too far ahead is stressful | Faith Chats
May 18, 2018 18:23 - 3 minutes - 4.98 MBWhen God drops instructions in your spirit, don't think or plan too far ahead. You see, God gives us directions in steps and stages. He is giving us a piece of a larger puzzle, and we have to trust that God knows the big picture. Our job is just to implement the new step He has given us. When we try to think or plan too far ahead of that step, life becomes stressful, and it shows that we don't trust God. On today’s faith chat, let's explore this concept and learn how to relax in the steps. B...

Uncontrolled feelings is stressful | Word Training
May 14, 2018 16:45 - 10 minutes - 14.9 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.

God will make your crooked path straight | Word Training
May 11, 2018 04:00 - 10 minutes - 13.2 MBThis week we have been talking about quitting things that God has not called us to do, so we can succeed at the vision He has called us to accomplish. Quitting is hard because it suggests that we have made a mistake, and that can be hard on our confidence in hearing God. However, here's the reality - no one executes the vision God has given them perfectly. We all make minor and major mistakes that throw our vision off track, which creates a crooked path. However, no matter what mistakes ...
Quit the details not the vision | Word Training
May 09, 2018 13:43 - 9 minutes - 12.6 MBLast week, I talked about not giving up on the vision God has given you. However, there are many times along your entrepreneurial journey where you need to quit certain activities to gain more success. These times occur because you either misheard God, or the seasons for those activities have ended. In those times, you need to quit the details, but not the vision, and allow God to course correct or course update.

God may lead you through financial lack
April 26, 2018 03:34 - 9 minutes - 12.2 MBThere is a misconception that says, "If God called me to start a business or ministry, then I will not lack anything." Well, this is not quite true. As you are on your entrepreneurial journey, God may lead you through periods of financial lack. Now, He is not causing the lack, but the road to your calling may be paved with financial lack.
Pursuing profit is both moral and noble
April 24, 2018 14:00 - 18 minutes - 24.4 MBWhat holds most Christians in business back from maximal success is this nagging question in the back of their mind: Is pursuing money okay? This uncertainty has them charging less money than they should or wanting to give their products and services away for free. Due to worldly and churchly pressures, we are inundated with messages that say making money is bad, from Hollywood to the pulpit. They see the pursuit of profit in business as a necessary evil at best, and at worst they see purs...

Say no to every great idea outside of your calling
April 19, 2018 18:28 - 9 minutes - 13 MBAs entrepreneurs, it is very tempting to see a need and start something to fill that need. We have no shortage of money-making ideas or desires to start new ministries to fix various societal ills. However, we need to execute a lot of self-control in this area because great ideas will break our focus and cause us to fail at what God has really called us to do. It may be hard, but we need to say no to every great idea outside of our calling. Take a listen.
Why are bad things happening to you
April 17, 2018 23:39 - 10 minutes - 14.1 MBIs God punishing me? Have I done something to make God mad? Have I been disobedient to His Word? These are just a few questions we ask ourselves when bad things happen to us. However, these are actually the wrong questions to ask. In today's message, we examine why bad things happen to us, and how we can avoid them and stop them from happening in the first place. Take a listen.

New success requires a new you
April 12, 2018 16:49 - 13 minutes - 17.8 MBVarious reasons, some out of and others in our control, cause a lack of results in our callings. A reason in our control is our growth. Not physical growth but personal growth. You see, the person you are today has to grow into the person you need to be for tomorrow's success, because the next level of success in your calling requires you to become a new person. Take a listen.

"God Said" is the only credibility you need
April 05, 2018 16:29 - 12 minutes - 16.6 MBOur society is obsessed with credibility and credentials. If you are a chef, they want to know what culinary school you went to. If you're a business coach, they want to know what successful business you have personally made a million dollars from. If you say you are starting a ministry, people want to know what theology school you got your ministry degree from. These questions are basically trying to judge or challenge your credibility. However, the only credibility you need is simply these...
Can having money keep you out of the Kingdom of God | CFE 20180402
April 02, 2018 21:42 - 11 minutes - 15.5 MBSome Christians believe that seeking and having money will keep you out of the Kingdom of God. They hold this belief, because in the Bible Jesus told a rich, young ruler to sell all he had and give it to poor, and then he could have eternal life. Based on this Bible passage, many have drawn a negative connection between having money and entering the Kingdom of God. So is this true? Well, in today’s message, we examine this concept through the Word of God to make a determination.

Properly combining prayer and fasting achieves great results
March 25, 2018 04:16 - 14 minutes - 19.8 MBHave you ever read a Bible verse and not quite known what it meant? Well, that happens to me a lot.

Another person’s path to success is not your blueprint
March 19, 2018 04:00 - 13 minutes - 18.4 MBIn our guru culture of coaches and mentors, we are being programmed to follow other people's paths to success. This is tempting to our intellect and emotions because we believe that if somebody has made six or seven figures doing it a certain way, then we'll also be successful if we just follow their way. However, this rarely happens. If you look at the results of the guru's students, they rarely reach the same level of success as the guru. And of course the guru says that if you take acti...
God is not testing you by sending problems
March 16, 2018 04:00 - 9 minutes - 12.3 MBIn life, we experience many problems that come up against us. Some problems come in the form of financial hardship. Others come as sickness, or even some come through a close relationship. However, whatever the type of problem, you can be sure that the problems you're facing are not God trying to test you. This is a critical point to grasp, because if you believe that God is sending you problems, then you're going to lack the faith required to remove them. Take a listen.

Following her message, I provide an interpretation of her vision to help us apply it through our calling, so we can become an evangelistic force for God.
When the stress of financial pressure is on (don't do anything) first pray then do and praise
March 08, 2018 16:38 - 12 minutes - 17.1 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.

March 05, 2018 02:11 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MBUnfortunately, the United States of America has an inconvenient truth it needs to come to terms with—Christianity was used to justify slavery and promote racism.

Unauthorized projects will stress you out
February 13, 2018 22:43 - 12 minutes - 16.8 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.
Stop being Sick
February 06, 2018 23:02 - 15 minutes - 21.2 MBBecause we live in a world where people often get sick and sometimes die from those sicknesses, we are conditioned to accept being sick. However, sickness is not something we have to accept; we can choose not to be sick.

Listen to today’s message to learn more about this important concept.
Three type of tithes mentioned in the Bible
February 01, 2018 01:15 - 14 minutes - 19.4 MBChristians debate back and forth over tithing. If we are not careful, we can get confused in the barrage of scripture being thrown at each side of the argument. Even though tithing is highly contested, God placed the concept of tithing in the Bible for a reason — not to argue over it but to learn from it. In today’s message, let’s travel back into the Old Testament to learn about the three different types of tithes and discover their lessons for us believers under the new covenant of grace.
Healing is instant but faith is a process
January 25, 2018 23:21 - 12 minutes - 17 MBDivine healing is not a reward for serving God or living a holy life. Instead, it is a basic benefit of every believer that is designed to be accessed instantly with your faith. However, if we just simply look around, we notice that some people receive divine healing quickly, for others it comes a bit slower, and for many healing doesn't come at all. Why is this the case? Because obtaining faith for healing is a process. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.
