    Who Is Your Business Here To Serve?

    We spend a lot of time in business asking who we help, what we do, and why it matters. But what if we're missing a bigger question? As Christian business owners, we're not just building businesses for ourselves. We're also answering a calling—and sometimes the people God has put on our hearts aren't the people we're currently reaching. So who is your business really here to serve? And what might that mean for the way you're running it? Let's talk about it. 💬 I'd love to hear from you: Who is your heart broken for? Share in the comments, and I'd love to lift you up in prayer as you navigate what God might be asking of you.

    Quit Is Not a Four-Letter Word

    What if “quitting” isn't about giving up on your business at all? In this Quick Focus, I'm talking about something I've been really convicted by lately: the expectations we put on ourselves to be the best, the most successful, the most capable, or the most influential. Ambition isn't the problem. But what happens when we're trying to win a race God never asked us to run? I'm sharing the idea from Jess Connolly's You Are the Girl for the Job that I initially resisted—and eventually realized was really speaking to me. The question I'm sitting with this week is: What do I need to take myself out of the running for? What about you?

    Is Your Business Being Shaped by a Story You Believe About Yourself?

    What story are you running your business from? We all have things we've decided about ourselves—I'm not good at sales. I'm not a leader. I'm not creative. But what happens when those stories start influencing what we believe we're capable of? In this Quick Focus, I'm asking a question I think every business owner should sit with: What have you decided to believe about yourself that, whether it's true or not, is negatively impacting your business? Let's start paying attention to the stories we may be carrying—and what God might be inviting us to let go of. This episode is part of our October Faith + Focus series, inspired by You Are the Girl for the Job by Jess Connolly.

    How to Keep Going When Your Business Beats You Down

    Do you ever feel like you're the wrong person to be running your business? I've felt that way in a lot of different seasons of my entrepreneurial journey—including some of the seasons that looked the most successful from the outside. But I've been thinking about something lately that has completely changed the way I'm looking at that feeling: maybe the problem isn't always capability. Maybe it's capacity. There's a difference between not knowing how to do something and not having the mental, emotional, or physical capacity to carry one more thing. And then there's another kind of capacity we don't talk about nearly as much: our capacity to endure disappointment, uncertainty, and seasons where we don't see the results we hoped for. How much disappointment can I absorb without giving up? How long can I remain faithful when I don't see results? Can I keep moving when I'm questioning whether this is actually working? As Christian business owners, we're not ultimately supposed to lead from our own capacity. We're invited to depend on His. We'll look at Moses, who kept pointing to his own limitations while God kept pointing him back to His presence: "I will be with you." And we'll also look at Ruth, who had no idea what her future held but simply took the next step in faith. This conversation was inspired by Jess Connolly's book You Are the Girl for the Job, which I'm currently reading as part of a women's leadership circle. The book isn't the subject of this series, but it has been stirring up some really important conversations for me—and I wanted to bring them here. If you're a Christian business owner who has been wondering whether you have what it takes to keep going, I hope this encourages you. 💬 Have you been struggling lately to keep going when your business isn't going exactly as you planned? I'd love to hear about it in the comments. 📖 Scripture: Exodus 3–4; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ruth And if this conversation helped you, consider subscribing and sharing it with another Christian business owner who might need the reminder that she doesn't have to do it all from her own capacity.

    Ready to Quit? What to Do When You're Discouraged | A F+F Conversation with Hansi

    What do you do when you're exhausted, discouraged, and wondering if it's time to give up? In this final conversation with Hansi, we talk about what comes before advice: rest, remembering who you are, asking better questions, and trusting God enough to take the next step—even when you're afraid. Hansi also shares where God is stretching her faith right now and why, no matter what happens with our businesses or our lives, there is still hope. Because our hope isn't found in the outcome we're praying for. It's found in the One we're trusting through it all. Connect with Hansi and learn more about her coaching through the links below.

    Is Your Business Becoming Your Identity? | A F + F Conversation with Hansi

    What happens when your business starts feeling like a reflection of who you are? In this conversation, Hansi and I talk about expectations, disappointment, identity, and what it looks like to trust God when life—or business—doesn't unfold the way we thought it would. Hansi shares something God has been teaching her: before she's a leader, business owner, pastor's wife, mom, or anything else, she's a daughter of the King. We also talk about the difference between hoping for something and hoping in Jesus—and how that changes the way we wait for what we want. If you've ever struggled to separate your business results from your sense of worth, I think this conversation will encourage you.

    What Does Faith Actually Look Like in Business? | A F+F Conversation with Hansi

    What does it really look like to trust God while building a business? Faith doesn't just show up on Sunday mornings. It shows up on ordinary Tuesdays...when you're making decisions, serving clients, wondering if you're on the right path, and trying to trust God while building a business. In this conversation, Hansi and I talk about biblical faith, active waiting, obedience, entrepreneurship, and why following God often looks a lot less dramatic than we expect. If you're a Christian entrepreneur trying to build a business that honors God, I hope this conversation encourages you. Want to watch the full, uncut conversation today?

    What Biblical Hope Really Means | A F+F Conversation with Hansi

    Hope isn't an outcome. It's a person. That simple idea shaped this entire conversation with my friend Hansi. In this first episode, we unpack the difference between hope, expectation, and faith—and why understanding that difference can completely change the way we navigate hard seasons in business and in life. If you've ever found yourself wondering why you're discouraged even though you're trying to trust God, I think this conversation will encourage you. Want to watch the full, uncut conversation today?
