The Estherpreneur

Edna Harding

The Estherpreneur Podcast is for faith-driven founders and Kingdom leaders who know they are called to build but refuse to do it disconnected from God. Hosted by Edna Harding, Christ-Centered Business Architect and CEO of Favor & Wealth, this podcast is where biblical wisdom meets business strategy, leadership, wealth, identity, and spiritual alignment. Here, we talk about what it really takes to build what God assigned to your hands: obedience, clarity, sales, stewardship, emotional maturity, spiritual warfare, and the courage to come out of striving. Each episode will help you discern what is misaligned, strengthen who you are becoming, and build with excellence, favor, and wisdom. Because you are not just growing a business. You are stewarding an assignment. And the leader God is forming in you matters just as much as what He is building through you. Visit FavorandWealth.com and EsthersOil.org.

    Delay Is A Decision

    There’s a hidden reason many leaders stay stuck longer than necessary. It’s not lack of vision.It’s not lack of prayer. Sometimes it’s lack of agreement. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore why delays in life and business aren’t always about God preparing us—they’re sometimes about our reluctance to say yes. Drawing from biblical examples and personal leadership experience, I unpack how agreement activates movement and why indecision can quietly stall progress. If you’re a Christian entrepreneur wrestling with a decision you’ve been postponing, this episode will challenge the way you think about timing, obedience, and partnership with God.

    Grace Is Not Permission

    Grace is not permission. It’s empowerment. For Christian entrepreneurs and leaders, confusing grace with permission can quietly affect how we handle discipline, leadership, growth, and accountability in our businesses and personal lives. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore how grace actually functions in the Kingdom and why understanding it correctly can unlock deeper transformation and leadership maturity. If you're building something meaningful while pursuing God’s calling, this episode will challenge you to rethink how grace is shaping the leader you are becoming!

    From Nothing to Fruit

    “I would start… if I just had a little more.” More money.More clarity.More support. But in this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I challenge that mindset with a powerful truth rooted in Scripture and real entrepreneurial experience. God has never required abundance to begin a vision. He asks for obedience with what’s already in your hand. In this conversation, I explore how many entrepreneurs misinterpret scarcity, why overcomplication often hides fear, and what it really looks like to begin building something meaningful before everything feels ready. If you're a Christian entrepreneur trying to steward a vision that feels bigger than your current resources, this episode will give you a perspective shift you may not expect.  The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

    Why It's Not Working

    If someone is truly anointed by God… why do their efforts sometimes produce so little fruit? In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore a powerful truth that can reshape how Christian leaders approach business, leadership, and personal growth. Anointing and effectiveness are not the same thing. One is God’s authorization.The other is our stewardship of that authorization. Drawing from Scripture and real leadership experience, I unpack why some gifted leaders struggle to sustain impact—and what often stands between calling and effectiveness. If you're a CEO, founder, or entrepreneur trying to build something meaningful while honoring God, this episode may reveal why certain efforts feel stalled—and what God may actually be developing beneath the surface.

    Competing Wills

    One of the most common phrases Christians say is this: “It must be God’s will.” But what if that assumption is one of the biggest reasons many believers struggle in life and business? In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I challenge the idea that everything that happens in our lives automatically comes from God. Scripture paints a far more complex picture—one where multiple wills are operating at the same time. In this conversation, I unpack how different forces can influence the outcomes we experience in leadership, business, and personal life—and why discernment is one of the most important spiritual skills a Christian entrepreneur can develop. If you're trying to build a business while faithfully following God, this episode will challenge how you interpret setbacks, opposition, and even success. Because not every open door—or closed one—comes from the same source. The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

    Stewarding Vision with Order

    Your calendar is preaching something. The question is: is it preaching divine assignment… or survival? So many entrepreneurs say they want to be Spirit-led, but their weeks are being discipled by urgency, inboxes, meetings, client needs, and other people’s panic. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I actually structure my week as a Kingdom-minded strategist carrying a big vision — not from pressure, performance, or productivity culture, but from stewardship. Because the way you order your time reveals what you believe you are responsible for. And some of what has been filling your calendar was never yours to carry. I’m sharing the weekly rhythm that helps me protect my peace, honor my capacity, create space for deep strategic work, and stay aligned with what God has actually assigned me to build in this season. This is not about becoming more efficient so you can do more. It’s about becoming more obedient so you can carry well. If your week has been running you instead of serving the assignment, this conversation will help you pause, reassess, and rebuild your rhythm from a place of clarity. Because urgency may be loud, but it is not Lord. Listen in and don’t just take notes. Let the Holy Spirit show you what needs to be reordered. Enjoyed today's episode?

    Stop Pitching. Start Fishing.

    Most Christian entrepreneurs say they hate cold calling. They say it feels awkward. Pushy. Maybe even a little manipulative. So they avoid it. But what if the real issue isn’t cold calling at all? What if the discomfort is revealing something deeper about how many faith-driven entrepreneurs see their role in the marketplace? In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore a question that may challenge the way you think about outreach, sales, and even calling. Somewhere along the way, many believers began assuming that being authentic means waiting to be discovered. But what if that assumption is costing more than we realize? What if the conversations we avoid are connected to the very people we’re called to serve? This episode opens a deeper conversation about initiative, stewardship, and the tension many Christian founders feel when faith and business growth collide. This perspective will shift the way you see sales, service, and your assignment in the marketplace. Because sometimes the thing we resist the most… is the doorway to the people we're meant to reach. If you're a CEO, consultant, or founder who wants to grow your business without compromising your faith, integrity, or calling, this episode will challenge the way you think about sales—and the role you play in the marketplace!  The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.
