Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

Gabe Cox

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals? With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider. But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in. Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do. My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place. Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too! As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger.

    Hey Winner, What happens when you know how to move forward... but your heart just won't let you? In this conversation, I'm joined by my coaching client, LuAnn Collins, who vulnerably shares her journey through divorce, financial disruption, grief, and rebuilding trust in both herself and God.   What started as a conversation about business coaching became something much deeper.

    Ep 377 | What the Road Less Traveled Actually Requires with Dr. Leslie Davis

    Hey Winner, Some seasons don’t look the way we expected. They feel slower, quieter, or even a little uncertain, and it can be hard to tell if we’re actually moving forward. In this conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Leslie Davis, who shares what it means to walk through those “wilderness seasons” with faith, trust, and a willingness to follow the next right step. We talk about what it looks like to anchor your life and business in God instead of outcomes, how obedience creates clarity over time, and why resistance may actually be a sign that you’re growing into something new. If you’ve been in a season that feels unclear or stretched, this episode will meet you with both truth and encouragement. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast?

    Ep 375 | The Pricing Fears Nobody Talks About

    Hey Winner, Why can pricing feel so uncomfortable when you know you’re good at what you do? In this conversation with my mastermind group (think view-like without the politics), we’re digging into some of the fears and beliefs that can make it difficult to confidently price our offers. We talk about the fear that people won’t pay, the pressure we can feel once someone does pay, and why hearing “no” feels a whole lot more personal when you’re selling something you created yourself. We also get into the deeper money beliefs that can show up as Christian entrepreneurs, including the idea that being helpful and getting paid somehow don’t belong together. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re charging too much, questioned whether your work is really worth the price, or taken someone’s “no” a little too personally, this conversation will help you look at pricing from a different perspective.

    Ep 373 | The Shift I Didn’t Expect to Make This Year

    Hey Winner, In this episode, I’m sharing a change that’s coming to the podcast and the heart behind it. After reflecting on our Grow Your Biz without Social virtual event, Implementation Week, and the conversations that came out of both events in May, I realized I want this podcast to serve you with more intentionality, depth, and relevance instead of simply keeping up with a publishing schedule. So today, I’m talking about why the podcast is moving into seasonal episodes, what this shift will look like moving forward, and when new episodes will return. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, pressured to constantly produce, or unsure how to build sustainably in this season of business and life, I think this conversation will really encourage you.
