    149. Why Growth Requires A Cost: The Spiritual Principle of Exchange

    In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the concept of growth and the inherent costs associated with it. Building on our previous discussion about transforming our businesses into platforms for discipleship, I explore why growth—whether spiritual, personal, or professional—requires an exchange of value. I begin by emphasizing that growth is not just a linear progression; it often involves sacrifices of time, money, or energy. I challenge listeners to reconsider their approach to growth by asking not whether they are willing to pay for it, but rather what the cost of not pursuing growth might be. I share insights from my book, The Money Mandate, discussing how God established a value system that assigns different worth to various things, which ultimately shapes our economy and our lives.   Read The Money Mandate HERE Get my FREE 3 day masterclass on money mindsets straight to your inbox.

    147. Your Business Is A Platform For Discipleship

    In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that has been weighing heavily on my heart: the intersection of business and ministry. As many of you know, there is a growing movement among Christian entrepreneurs who are eager to integrate their faith into their business practices. However, this desire often leads to confusion and conflict about how to balance these two important aspects of life. I begin by addressing the common struggle many face: the feeling that they must choose between running a successful business and fulfilling their ministry calling. I share my own journey of stepping away from formal pastoring to embrace the business world, driven by a revelation that God is moving powerfully within the marketplace. This shift is not just a personal experience; it reflects a broader revival where businesses are becoming platforms for reaching people for the Kingdom of God.   Join the Kingdom Leaders Community HERE Get on the email list (where the really good stuff is) HERE   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:01 - Welcome to Wisdom's Table Introduction to the podcast and its purpose. 00:00:26 - The Conflict of Business and Ministry Exploring the tension between running a business and doing ministry. 00:01:50 - The Rise of Faith-Driven Business Discussion on the recent trend of Christians wanting to integrate faith into their businesses. 00:03:45 - Bridging the Gap Addressing the false divide between business and ministry. 00:04:38 - Defining Business vs. Ministry Clarifying the differences between business transactions and ministry activities. 00:07:06 - Understanding the Exchange Explaining how business involves an exchange of value, while ministry is about giving freely. 00:10:04 - Finding Your Unique Blend Encouragement to define the gray area between business and ministry for oneself. 00:11:50 - Personal Experience in Coaching Rachel shares her journey of integrating ministry into her coaching business. 00:12:21 - Business as a Kingdom Tool Understanding how business can serve as a platform for the kingdom of God. 00:15:18 - People as Portals The concept of people being portals to new dimensions in Christ. 00:17:03 - Being a Minister in Business Encouragement to minister to clients and coworkers through business interactions. 00:18:05 - Your Business is Part of God's Plan Reassurance that business is not in conflict with God's plan but is part of it. 00:19:17 - Next Steps for Integration Practical steps to begin integrating prayer and ministry into business. 00:21:11 - Closing Thoughts and Future Topics Wrap-up of the episode and a teaser for the next episode.

    145. Ruthless Confidence: Building Your Kingdom Assignment

    In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to share a powerful message that I believe God has placed on my heart for you. As I reflect on the incredible growth and acceleration I've experienced in my life and business over the past few years—thanks to the grace of Jesus—I want to encourage you to embrace a mindset of holy audacity. I dive deep into the importance of believing in the vision God has given you. I emphasize that no one will champion your dream more than you will, and waiting for external validation is a fool's errand. It's crucial to take ownership of your calling and to steward it with confidence and faithfulness. I remind you that our confidence comes from Jesus, and I challenge you to ask yourself if you truly believe in the assignment God has placed on your life. Throughout the episode, I discuss the necessity of being ruthlessly audacious in pursuing your God-given dreams. I share practical steps on how to build trust with God, encouraging you to seek His confirmation and to end the wavering mindset that often holds us back. I stress that audacity means not worrying about others' judgments and instead focusing on the impact your obedience can have on those waiting for your "yes."   Want to gain confidence and take your business to the next level?

    143. The Peaceful CEO Part Two: Mastering Productivity & The Peaceful CEO's Guide to Energy Management

    In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into part two of our series on being a peaceful CEO, focusing on the crucial concepts of productivity mapping and time protection. Building on our previous discussion about the tyranny of the urgent, I emphasize that a peaceful, biblically grounded CEO is not passive or disengaged; rather, they are anchored, clear, and equipped to combat chaos. I begin by addressing the common struggles many CEOs face with time management, highlighting that simply managing time without considering energy management will not lead to true organization. I stress that God is not asking us to do more but to steward our responsibilities better. Sometimes, the solution to feeling overwhelmed is not more hours in the day but more purpose for those hours.   Let's keep the connection going.
