If you’re a Christian entrepreneur carrying the weight of business, family, and faith all at once, take a deep breath — you’re in the right place. Maybe you’ve found yourself Googling “How to trust God in business,” “How to hear God clearly,” or even “Business meeting with God,” hoping for direction. You want to scale your business without losing your peace, your family, or your connection with Jesus. And honestly? The overwhelm, the pressure, and the constant push to hustle are wearing you down. Here’s the good news: you don’t have to build alone, and you don’t have to build exhausted. This podcast is where faith and business finally come together in a way that feels natural, sustainable, and deeply aligned with God’s heart. Each episode helps you replace striving with surrender, confusion with clarity, and burnout with a rhythm of less hustle, more peace. You’ll learn how to integrate your faith into your business decisions, balance your roles without guilt, hear God clearly in your work, and grow in a way that keeps your soul — and your schedule — steady. I’m Dr. Betsy — a therapist, entrepreneur, wife, mama, and woman who once believed overworking was the only way to succeed. I tried hustling my way to growth, DIY’ing everything, and sacrificing my weekends… until God invited me into a different way. A steadier way. Once I integrated the parts of me — my clinical training, my pastoral heart, and my identity as a daughter of God — everything aligned. Now I’m scaling with peace, protecting what matters most, and building a business that honors both my calling and my family. If you’re longing to build it God’s way, strengthen your relationship with Him, grow your business with clarity, and feel secure in Christ and steady in business, this podcast was made for you. Welcome to The Abiding CEO® — where we slow down enough to hear God, follow His lead, and build something that actually lasts. Let’s get secure in Christ and steady in business.

    What if the real thing draining your energy isn't your workload, but the resentment you're carrying? In this honest conversation, Dr. Betsy Mejias is joined by her husband, Jarvis, to discuss how bitterness, comparison, and the desire to prove yourself can quietly influence your business decisions, leadership style, finances, and relationships.

    Why Forgiveness Could Be the Missing Key to Clarity in Your Business

    In this honest and eye-opening episode of The Abiding CEO® Podcast, Dr. Betsy Mejias explores a topic rarely discussed in entrepreneurship: forgiveness. Business is deeply relational, which means leadership inevitably involves disappointment, betrayal, conflict, hurt, and emotional wounds. Whether it’s employee issues, unhealthy competition, gossip, broken trust, or difficult business relationships, unresolved pain can quietly impact decision-making, emotional regulation, and leadership clarity. Drawing from both neuroscience and biblical wisdom, Dr. Betsy explains: How unforgiveness affects the nervous system Why forgiveness improves clarity and executive functioning The connection between emotional pain and leadership Why Christian business owners must learn continual forgiveness How unresolved hurt can sabotage growth What healthy forgiveness actually looks like in business If you’ve ever struggled with betrayal, disappointment, leadership wounds, or relational hurt inside your business journey, this episode will encourage you to release what no longer serves your peace. 🎧 Listen now and learn why forgiveness is not weakness, it’s wisdom.   Have a topic you want her to cover?

    Imposter Syndrome vs. Your Identity in Christ: What Every Christian Business Owner Needs to Know

    In this powerful episode of The Abiding CEO® Podcast, Dr. Betsy Mejias unpacks the hidden battle many Christian entrepreneurs face: imposter syndrome. What happens when you’re qualified, capable, and called… but still feel like a fraud? Dr. Betsy breaks down the psychological roots of imposter syndrome and contrasts it with the truth of Scripture, showing how insecurity, fear, overworking, and self-doubt often stem from agreement with lies rather than agreement with God’s Word. Through Galatians 2:20 and Romans 12:2, this episode explores: What imposter syndrome actually is How trauma and past experiences shape internal narratives Why insecurity can keep entrepreneurs stuck The connection between neuroscience and renewing the mind How to stop shrinking and fully embrace your God-given calling What it means to be secure in Christ and steady in business If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong in the room, struggled to celebrate your success, or constantly felt like you had to prove your worth, this conversation will challenge and encourage you deeply. 🎧 Listen now and begin replacing fear with truth.   Have a topic you want her to cover?

    The Power of Perspective: Seeing Opportunity When Others See Giants

    In this unscripted episode of The Abiding CEO® Podcast, Dr. Betsy Mejias draws wisdom from Numbers 13 and 14, reflecting on the leadership perspective of Joshua and Caleb and what it means for Christian entrepreneurs today. When fear dominates the narrative, murmuring multiplies, and the world insists it’s not the right time to build, God may be inviting you to move forward in faith. This episode is a timely reminder that visionaries are called to see differently and to trust God’s promises even when others see only giants. If you’ve been discouraged, second-guessing your calling, or tempted to play small, this conversation will anchor you back to God’s perspective and remind you that obedience still leads to milk and honey.
