Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

Gabe Cox

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals? With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider. But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in. Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do. My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place. Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too! As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger.

    Ep 375 | The Pricing Fears Nobody Talks About

    Hey Winner, Why can pricing feel so uncomfortable when you know you’re good at what you do? In this conversation with my mastermind group (think view-like without the politics), we’re digging into some of the fears and beliefs that can make it difficult to confidently price our offers. We talk about the fear that people won’t pay, the pressure we can feel once someone does pay, and why hearing “no” feels a whole lot more personal when you’re selling something you created yourself. We also get into the deeper money beliefs that can show up as Christian entrepreneurs, including the idea that being helpful and getting paid somehow don’t belong together. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re charging too much, questioned whether your work is really worth the price, or taken someone’s “no” a little too personally, this conversation will help you look at pricing from a different perspective.

    Ep 373 | The Shift I Didn’t Expect to Make This Year

    Hey Winner, In this episode, I’m sharing a change that’s coming to the podcast and the heart behind it. After reflecting on our Grow Your Biz without Social virtual event, Implementation Week, and the conversations that came out of both events in May, I realized I want this podcast to serve you with more intentionality, depth, and relevance instead of simply keeping up with a publishing schedule. So today, I’m talking about why the podcast is moving into seasonal episodes, what this shift will look like moving forward, and when new episodes will return. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, pressured to constantly produce, or unsure how to build sustainably in this season of business and life, I think this conversation will really encourage you.

We unpack how referral-based marketing can become a steady and sustainable way to grow your business without feeling like you’re constantly promoting yourself. Morgan shares practical ways to turn happy clients into natural advocates, how to build genuine referral partnerships, and how to ask for referrals in a way that feels aligned and easy.

    Ep 370 | How to Hear God’s Voice and Discern the Real Root of Your Struggles with Heather O'Brien

    Hey Winner, If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing decisions, overanalyzing every move, or wondering why your business feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Heather O’Brien, prophetic healing coach, author, and host of the Heal with God podcast. Together, we explore why so many entrepreneurial struggles aren’t actually strategy problems at all, and what changes when we slow down long enough to ask God what’s really going on beneath the surface. Heather shares how fear, unresolved pain, or old belief systems often masquerade as procrastination, burnout, or confusion, and how learning to discern the true root brings clarity and peace even before circumstances change. If you’re faithful, capable, and doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode offers a gentler, wiser way forward. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast?

    Ep 369 | The People Matter More than the Numbers

    Hey Winner, It’s easy to start measuring growth by numbers. Followers. Reach. Engagement. But over time, those numbers can become the focus… and we can lose sight of what actually matters most. In this episode, we’re taking a step back to look at a different way of building—one that prioritizes people over metrics, connection over attention, and impact that actually lasts. If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow your audience or wondering if there’s a more meaningful way to build your business, this conversation will help you refocus on what really creates lasting impact. This is for the entrepreneur who wants to grow without losing the heart behind why they started. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast? Start here: https://redhotmindset.com/podcast-start/   LISTEN TO HEAR: • Why numbers were never meant to be the main focus • The difference between attention and real connection • What actually builds trust in your business over time • How to create deeper, more meaningful impact • A simpler, more sustainable way to grow   LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE: Join us at the Grow Your Biz without Social virtual event (May 4-8, 2026): https://redhotmindset.com/gbws-register/   CONNECT WITH ME: ➡️ Website: https://redhotmindset.com/ ➡️ Join the Red Hot Accountability Club: https://redhotmindset.com/rha/ ➡️ Free mini course: Craft Your Marketing Strategy Without Social Media: https://redhotmindset.com/marketing/ ➡️ Free workshop: 3 Secrets to Making Progress on Your Goals without Burnout—Even When Life Feels Chaotic: https://redhotmindset.com/goals/
