    How to Rebuild Your Business After Losing Everything as a Christian (with Bradley Hawkins) - Episode 605

    How do you rebuild your business after losing everything as a Christian? Bradley Hawkins lost his companies, his reputation, and nearly every friend he had when authorities froze his accounts over a Ponzi scheme run by someone else. Two years later he was cleared, and he was working at a body shop to buy groceries. In this episode, Rachel and Brad talk about the day on his back deck that changed how he reads the Bible, what God showed him about Job and eternal rewards, and how he rebuilt with a wedding venue business and an international cybersecurity company. He also shares the NUDE model he uses to test every business plan, and how he brings business decisions to God through Scripture and journaling. For any Christian business owner rebuilding after loss or weighing a new idea, it is an honest and practical conversation. "Dependable is either zero or a hundred. It can't be 50 dependable."

    Why God Allows Disappointments to Redirect Your Life (with Curry Pikkaart) - Episode 604

    Why does God allow disappointments, especially the ones that knock you off the path you planned? Pastor Curry Pikkaart has spent more than 50 years in ministry learning that God often uses them to redirect and refine us. A bad grade ended his music career and launched his calling, and his son's long, unexplained illness tested everything he preached on Sundays. In this episode, Rachel and Curry talk about the refiner's fire, why 90% of caring is just showing up, and what walking in obedience looks like when God keeps moving you. They also get practical about discerning God's voice before a big decision, what finishing well looks like for a leader, and how parents and grandparents can pass their faith on to the next generation. For any Christian leader or business owner walking through a hard season, it is a steady, encouraging conversation. "Talking about faith and living out faith are two very, very different things."

    Successful but Unfulfilled? How to Find Harmony With God (with James Reid) - Episode 603

    Why do so many business owners feel successful but unfulfilled? James Reid, human performance coach to pro athletes and executive athletes, sees it every week: the career is thriving, yet they come home drained, irritable, and sure something is missing. His answer starts with sitting with Jesus and letting him set the rhythm for every area of life. In this episode, Rachel and James. talk about why work-life balance is a myth, how James tithes the first 10% of his day, and the car accident in 2016 that led him to put his family first. They also get practical about the phone habits that make silence feel impossible, the blank wall test for rebuilding your attention, what failure teaches about surrender, and the morning and evening routines that protect sleep and focus. For any driven Christian entrepreneur who is doing well at work and running on empty at home, it is an honest and practical place to start. "Failure has constantly shown me where I'm not surrendering to Christ."

    How to Grow Your Business Without Sacrificing Your Family (with Lauren Apple) - Episode 602

    How do you grow a business without sacrificing your family? Lauren Apple, keynote speaker, former pastor of ten years, and founder of Profit & Presence Co., makes the case that ambitious mothers can stay as successful as they want to be while staying present for the people the work is meant to serve. She calls the alternative the Beautiful Prison, the point where a Kingdom business becomes Kingdom bondage. In this episode, Rachel and Lauren talk through the whole thing: the success trap that catches driven women, why ambition is not something to feel guilty about, how structure creates freedom rather than limiting it, and the yearly alignment audit Lauren uses to turn vague values into standards she can live by. They also get practical about delegation, biblical stewardship beyond money, and the anchors that protect her hard 4 PM stop while she raises five kids. For anyone building something meaningful who wants to stay present at home, it is a grounded, practical starting point. "Structure is actually what provides us freedom."

    How to Use Your Career to Build God's Kingdom (with Olly Perkins) - Episode 601

    How do you use your career to build God's kingdom? Olly Perkins, who leads the ministry Fruitful Work, makes the case that your career can be one of the primary engines for building God's kingdom and making disciples, not just a way to earn a living. In this episode, Rachel and Olly talk through the whole idea: the three pathways Fruitful Work points people toward (ministry, discipling the culture, and gospel patronage), what a lifestyle cap is and why setting one early frees up real generosity, why more money stops adding to your happiness past a certain point, and why a business owner has more freedom than almost anyone to set a distinctly Christian culture. If you have ever felt that real kingdom work only happens in full-time ministry, this is a grounded, practical way to see the work already in front of you. "I'm going to go into investment banking, I'm going to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds, but I'm going to live as if I chose that path as a teacher."

    How to Grow Your Team Without Hiring (with Brittany Braswell) - Episode 600

    How do you grow your team without hiring? Brittany Braswell, a registered dietitian turned internship strategist, shows you how to hire interns for your small business and build a profitable internship program that adds real capacity without adding a dime to payroll. In this episode, Rachel and Brittany talk through the whole process: how to tell what to hand off first, how to separate the work that truly requires you from the work that only feels that way, where to actually find quality interns, and how to run a program that takes under ten minutes a week to manage once it is set up. If you are the bottleneck in your own business, running everything yourself because it feels faster, this is a grounded, practical path to building a team so the business grows while your hours come back down. "The most dangerous person in a small business is a highly competent CEO who never learned to stop proving it."

    How to Hear God's Voice Through Listening Prayer in Your Business (with Angela Frost) - Episode 599

    How do you actually quiet down and hear God's voice over your business, especially when you've been trying to do it alone? In this episode I sit down with Angela Frost, co-founder of The Well Exchange, to talk about hearing God, leading from who He says you are, and why you were never meant to do it alone. Angela shares how a small intercessory prayer team covering business leaders grew into full executive advisory and coaching, and how she hears God as a feeler, a knower, and a seer. We get into her step-by-step listening prayer process, how to grow your discernment without sliding into suspicion or striving, why a big prophetic word needs community to carry it, and the quiet patterns that hold entrepreneurs back: unforgiveness, isolation, and a lack of trust that follows us right into our relationship with God. Angela also opens up about being a recovering control freak, what it means to reveal your heart to God instead of controlling His timing, and hearing Him in the ordinary moments of a homeschooling, home-business, mom-of-five life. Whether you are a Christian entrepreneur, a ministry leader, or a business owner trying to discern your next move, this conversation will change how you listen for God and how you lead. __________________________________________________________ 🎙️ Christian Entrepreneurs Rise Up: biblical leadership for the Christian business owner who's already effective and ready to lead at the level her calling requires. 👉 Grab the free Kingdom Profit Plan: https://rachelngom.com/profit Host Rachel Ngom helps Christian entrepreneurs become stronger leaders so they can scale and multiply their Kingdom impact, without burning out.   Connect with Rachel:  🌐 Website: https://rachelngom.com ✉️ Substack (Called to Build): https://rachelngom.substack.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/rachelngom1 ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@rachelngom9131

    5 Questions to Make a God-Led Business Decision When You're Stuck - Episode 598

    How do you make a God-led business decision when you're stuck and one more strategy isn't breaking it open? In this solo episode I share the five-day fast that didn't heal me the way I asked, but gave me something so much bigger: the diagnosis no doctor had named in seventeen years, the surgeon who could finally fix it, and an encounter with God that rerouted my life. Then I walk you through what to do when you're stuck on a decision in your business, why a breakthrough matters more than more information, and the five questions I run every major decision through before I move. If you're a Christian woman entrepreneur sitting on a launch, a pivot, or a hire and you can't find peace about it, this episode will help you get quiet, hear God, and take the next step in faith. __________________________________________________________ 🎙️ Christian Entrepreneurs Rise Up: biblical leadership for the Christian business owner who's already effective and ready to lead at the level her calling requires. 👉 Grab the free Kingdom Profit Plan: https://rachelngom.com/profit Host Rachel Ngom helps Christian entrepreneurs become stronger leaders so they can scale and multiply their Kingdom impact, without burning out.   Connect with Rachel:  🌐 Website: https://rachelngom.com ✉️ Substack (Called to Build): https://rachelngom.substack.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/rachelngom1 ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@rachelngom9131
