    219. Do You Need a "Christian" Business? The Intersection of Christianity and Entrepreneurship

    Christian business content is trending everywhere right now, and with that popularity comes a unique pressure. Many Christian business owners carry guilt that their business isn't "Christian enough." Whether that means not having Bible verses on the packaging, or no gospel presentation at checkout. Or maybe it is just a little feeling that you're missing "something." In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I answer a question a woman asked me at a Money Mandate summit in Nashville: does being a Christian in business mean you have to run a Christian business? My answer may surprise you, and I believe it will set you free. I share a lesson from church history about what happened to Christianity when it became popular under Emperor Constantine, and why something being trending doesn't automatically make it godly. I also open up about how my husband and I approach faith in our real estate brokerage, an industry with clear legal boundaries, and the phrase he uses with clients: "We are not a Christian business. We are Christians who run a business." In this episode, you'll learn: Why how you build matters more than what you build as a Christian entrepreneur How God uses your business to build you while you build it What it looks like to let the Holy Spirit lead how much of your faith shows up in your business How to tell the difference between Holy Spirit discernment and fear of sharing your faith The pastoral advice that shaped how we serve every person who walks through our doors What questions to ask before hiring a faith and business coach Whether God has called you to make your business an open ministry or to quietly serve with excellence, kingdom entrepreneurship starts with obedience to what He has asked of you.

    218: On Mondays We Pray: Against False Humility

    There's a prayer you've been afraid to pray. It's the one where you ask God to make you bold, because part of you worries that boldness and pride are the same thing. They aren't. And today we're settling that in the presence of the Lord. On this week's On Mondays We Pray, we're asking God for holy audacity. The kind of courage that owns what He placed in your hands and refuses to bury it. We're breaking agreement with false humility, the voice that keeps you small and calls it safe, and we're asking the Holy Spirit to make us faithful stewards of every gift, every skill, and every assignment He's entrusted to us. Jesus knew exactly who He was, and He used it to serve. We're praying for that same security in our identity, so we can shine like a city on a hill and point every bit of the glory back to Him. 3 minutes. One prayer. Pray it with me and expect God to move.   Share this with someone you know will need this prayer.

    217. The Crippling Effects of False Humility

    You've accused yourself of pride more times than anyone has ever said it to your face. So you shrink. You undercharge. You hold back the post, the price, the pitch, and you call it humility because staying small feels safer than being seen. I lived there for a long time. I dimmed my light and told myself I was guarding my heart. When I finally got free of it, beautiful things started coming. In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I'm naming false humility and the three ways it  cripples Christian entrepreneurs: It underestimates what God put inside of you. It buries the gift He told you to use. It convinces you that serving means becoming smaller. Romans 12:3 calls us to sober judgment. Accurate judgment. Owning your gift while knowing exactly where it came from is real humility, and it's what the parable of the talents asks of every one of us. Here's the part I want you to sit with this week: "Pride takes the credit. Humility takes responsibility."   In other news, we are hosting an event for Christian entrepreneurs and business owners like you in Oklahoma City, OK. This is your chance to get in the room with us, encounter God together, and get filled up for the new year.

    216. On Mondays We Pray: To Encounter God's Grace

    You've been working to earn a place you already have. Refreshing the numbers, adding one more task, pushing through exhaustion, all while wondering if God is disappointed in how far you still have to go.  The new covenant speaks a better word over you. Through Jesus, God has written His law on your heart, forgiven your sin, and promised to remember it no more (Jeremiah 31:33-34, Hebrews 8:10-12). Your standing with Him was secured at the cross, and grace is the ground you build on (Ephesians 2:8-9). In this episode, Rachel prays for the leader who is tired of proving and ready to receive. This prayer breaks agreement with striving, silences the voice that says you're never enough, and invites you into the rest Jesus offers to everyone who is weary and heavy laden (Matthew 11:28-30). Let His grace meet you in your business, your family, and the places you've been carrying alone. Come to the table. Put down the weight. Receive what's already yours.

    215. Four Essential Steps to Embrace Change and Growth in Your Life

    You say you want to grow. You've prayed for it. You've even sensed God calling you into it. And then, right when it's time to move, something in you backs down. I know that place well. As a teenager reading Romans 9 in my NIV study Bible, I agreed with a lie that I was made for "ordinary use." It haunted me for close to 25 years. I would want the change, believe God was calling me to it, and then that lie about my worth would get in the way. Here's what I've learned: growing is going to cost you something. Staying the same is going to cost you more. Four things are required to create a change: 1️⃣ A choice to believe 2️⃣ A willingness to act 3️⃣ An acceptance of being nimble 4️⃣ A perseverance to see it through So let me ask you two questions. Where is God challenging you to grow? And what would happen if, a year from now, you stayed exactly where you are? If belief is where you're stuck, start there. In my book The Expansion Mandate, I walk you through the four battles every Christian has to fight and win to fully step into their promised land. And it all begins with your ability to believe. Your copy is waiting for you at HERE. Come take the first step with me. 📖   TIMESTAMP 00:00:01 - Welcome to Wisdom's Table Introduction to the podcast and its purpose. 00:00:27 - The Cost of Growth Discussion on the importance of growth and the costs associated with it. 00:01:09 - The Principle of Exchange Exploration of the biblical principle of exchange and its relevance to growth. 00:04:09 - What Happens When We Don't Grow Insights into the consequences of not engaging in growth. 00:04:40 - Four Components of Change Introduction to the four essential components required to create change. 00:05:01 - Belief in Change The necessity of believing that change is possible. 00:09:47 - Willingness to Act The importance of having the courage to act differently. 00:10:29 - Acceptance of Being Nimble The need for flexibility and adaptability in the growth process. 00:10:39 - Perseverance to See It Through The significance of perseverance in achieving growth. 00:12:12 - Consequences of Not Engaging Discussion on the costs of not participating in the growth process. 00:13:27 - No Neutrality in Growth Understanding that in the kingdom of God, one is either moving forward or backward. 00:15:02 - Believing in Yourself The importance of self-belief and its impact on growth. 00:16:47 - Loving Yourself to Love Others Exploration of the relationship between self-love and the ability to love others. 00:18:22 - The Cost of Staying the Same Reflection on the consequences of remaining stagnant. 00:20:08 - The Importance of New Environments The role of new settings and influences in personal growth. 00:22:05 - Aging and Growth Insights on how aging impacts growth and the importance of taking action. 00:24:26 - Your Potential for Growth Encouragement to recognize and act on one's potential for growth. 00:24:47 - Closing Thoughts Wrap-up of the episode and encouragement to share the podcast.

    214. On Mondays We Pray: To Seek First His Kingdom

    You've been carrying tomorrow into today. The launch that hasn't happened yet. The payment that hasn't cleared. The conversation you keep rehearsing in your head at 2 a.m. You call it planning, but your body knows it as dread. Jesus spoke directly to that weight. In Matthew 6:33-34, He gives a clear order of operations: seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first, and everything else will be added. Then He releases you from borrowing tomorrow's trouble, because today already has enough of its own. In this prayer episode, Rachel prays over the entrepreneur, the leader, and the builder who is ready to lay down the burden of tomorrow and pick up the assignment of today. This prayer realigns your priorities under His, breaks agreement with anxiety over provision, and invites the peace of God to govern your decisions, your finances, and your next step. Come to the table. Bring your tomorrow. Leave it with Him. Scripture reference: Matthew 6:33-34 ESV.

    213. 4 Hidden Struggles From Success No One Talks About

    You hit six figures. Then seven. And instead of feeling settled, something else starts happening: you're saying no more than you ever have, the people around you stop seeing your struggle, and somehow you feel more used and more alone than when you started.   In this episode, Rachel Wortman breaks down four things that happen to your heart when your business starts working, the parts of success nobody puts in a course. Drawing from coaching nearly 140 businesses with combined revenue close to $40 million, Rachel names what's actually going on when success gets disorienting: the guilt of learning to say no, becoming blind to your own weight because you carry it well, getting dehumanized by people who need you to be less than human, and the slow realization that you're being used and can't say so out loud.   She also shares a story from her own life, a milestone trip to Paris and Lake Como that turned into one of the hardest seasons of her adult life the moment she got home, and what she learned about betrayal, forgiveness, and staying in her calling anyway.   If you're building something and it's starting to work, and it feels heavier than you expected, this episode is for you.   In this episode:   -Why successful entrepreneurs have to relearn how to say no -The hidden cost of carrying weight well -How success gets you dehumanized in other people's eyes -Why you get used by people and can't call it out -Joseph of Arimathea, Lydia, and what the Bible says about funders -A personal story of betrayal and how Rachel worked through it   Find Rachel on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@therachelwortman Join us in person at the Signet Conference.
