The "Church for Entrepreneurs" daily podcast is back!
September 05, 2023 00:41 - 1 minute - 2.06 MBMy ministry in 2014 began when God asked me to teach Christian entrepreneurs the Word of God every day through podcasting. He wanted me to name the podcast 'Church for Entrepreneurs.' Over the past 9 years, my ministry has evolved to include serving believers with various callings, not just in entrepreneurship. Therefore, it was my intention to retire the daily podcast. However, I have overwhelmingly heard from you all that you want the daily podcast to return. Based on your feedback a...

God cares for you and has already done something about your situation
September 01, 2023 22:21 - 9 minutes - 14.7 MBMessage Series | The Trinity | When bad things happen to us or to others we are tempted to ask, “God, don’t you care?

Marriage is not designed to make you happy
August 31, 2023 22:36 - 55 minutes - 77.1 MBMarriage Conversation | In this first marriage conversation, we began by exploring why marriage is not designed to make us happy. Instead, marriage is an institution designed by God that requires us to serve another person. We also had a conversation around what happens when one spouse is more passionate about a vision than the other spouse. Should you date someone who is less spiritual than yourself? How do you know if a man is mature enough for marriage? What determines if you have a grea...

Doors Do Not Indicate the Will of God for Your Life
August 28, 2023 02:38 - 6 minutes - 9.35 MBMessage | Believers will often say, “If God wants me to go this way, then He will open a door of opportunity,” or “this door closed because God has something better for me.” While God can open and close doors of opportunity, the status of a door (also known as an opportunity) doesn’t necessarily indicate God’s will for your life. Relying solely on the observation of doors opening and closing can lead you astray and leave you in a state of confusion. Partner with Us | https://amosjohnsonjr...

Discovering Your Ministry: God gives each minister a unique ministry
August 24, 2023 02:28 - 1 hour - 126 MBReplay | Every minister has a unique form (how the ministry operates), style (the way the minister ministers), and demographic (who they minister to). We have to embrace the uniqueness God has given each of us, so we can be effective in ministry. If we resist our uniqueness, then the people we are called to lead won’t be served well. Our ministry success is in our uniqueness, not in our sameness. faithleaders | A ministry school that both trains you for ministry and mentors you in develop ...

Race unification within the Church is a requirement for the return of Jesus
August 12, 2023 04:00 - 9 minutes - 13.9 MBMessage Series | Race & Inequalities | The Bible teaches us that Jesus is coming back for a glorious Church without blemishes.

God can use a social privilege for his purposes
August 10, 2023 04:00 - 12 minutes - 18.2 MBMessage Series | Race & Inequalities | With God, all people are created equal and have the same value. However, society does not think this way. Society has evolved to esteem some physical characteristics and social standings as more valuable than others. For example, if you’re the right color, the right height, or the right gender, then you may have an advantage over somebody who’s doesn’t have one of those characteristics or features. This isn’t fair; however, God can use a social privileg...
Racial segregation in the Church makes us ineffective
August 09, 2023 04:00 - 8 minutes - 13.1 MBMessage Series | Race & Inequalities | Research shows that 9 out of 10 churches in the United States are segregated. This means that if you randomly visit any church in America, there is a 90% chance that the congregation will be all black, all white, all Asian, all Hispanic, etc. This makes the Church one of the most segregated organizations on the planet. Because of this racial segregation in the Body of Christ, the Church is ineffective in effecting change in the culture. To listen to a...

Avoid misinterpreting God's anointing as white privilege
August 07, 2023 04:00 - 10 minutes - 15.6 MBMessage Series | Race & Inequalities | Due to systemic inequalities within our culture, when a white Christian achieves success, many non-white Christians may attribute their accomplishments to white privilege rather than recognizing it as God's anointing.

I was doing it wrong because my thinking was wrong
August 01, 2023 17:39 - 49 minutes - 68 MBOpen Forum | We discussed the lessons I am learning from starting a local church in Atlanta, GA (CFE Atlanta).

Getting your spouse on board with the vision
July 30, 2023 04:00 - 8 minutes - 12.7 MBMessage | Marriage & Family Series | Many married entrepreneurs and ministers are frustrated because their spouse doesn’t believe in or support their vision. Why? Because God gave you the vision, not your spouse. Your faith has been activated to see something that doesn’t exist yet, so you can believe the vision without seeing proof. However, your spouse may not have received a word from God about it, so they don’t have a basis for faith yet, which means they will need to see some tangible p...

July 27, 2023 04:00 - 11 minutes - 16.4 MBBible Study | Some churches teach that believers are required to tithe 10% of our income to support the church.

Success cannot accelerate until clarity comes
July 18, 2023 18:11 - 41 minutes - 57.8 MBOpen Forum | Today, we discussed that our calling cannot accelerate until we have received clarity from God regarding what He has called us to do.

Your idle words must align with your faith
July 11, 2023 04:00 - 10 minutes - 14.9 MBMessage | Idle words are words said in passing when you are caught off guard. For example: Someone may ask you, “How are you doing today?” and you may instinctively say, “I have seen better days.” Or maybe your child may ask, “Could you buy me this new toy for me?” and you may say, “Honey, we cannot afford that.” Well, saying idle words like that negate your words of faith for the great days or the financial harvest you are believing will come.
