On today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about embracing the success that God has for you.  As Christian women today, we shy away from being exalted. We think that humility means that we need to stay out of the limelight and the attention doesn’t need to be on us. We feel uncomfortable being promoted, elevated or praised for our accomplishments.   But is this really humility?  What if in the attempt to be humble and not boast, you’re actually preventing God from exalting you?  When you’re called to business, then that means you will have authority in a space. If you’re preventing God from exalting you, then you could be preventing Him from giving you the provision, business and success you’ve been praying for.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.  __________________________ 📣** Announcement** 📣 Upcoming Beta Group Coaching program As a Christian entrepreneur, you know that building a business takes more than just hard work and dedication.

In this 2 part interview, I’m joined by Leslee Kiser (author of The Course of This World) to talk about all the ways the enemy tries to keep you from fully walking in what God has for you.  From distractions to our identity, the enemy comes at us from all angles as he tries to keep us focused on ourselves and turned away from God.  Leslee shares her own journey of wrapping her identity up in her performance, ability, looks and possessions and realizing none of that really defined her.  She talks about the power of knowing the Truth in Scripture and how the truth really can set you free from so much.  Some topics you’ll hear about: What it really looks like to take your thoughts captiveHow to recognize the ploys of the enemyKeeping our thoughts focused on God Embracing our identity in ChristComparison steals our joyConfidence in Christ  and what that looks likeMuch more! As entrepreneurs, imposter syndrome and doubt are constantly coming up, so I know this conversation will resonate with so many of you.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.  More about Leslee I grew up in Goodlettsville, TN, in the same house for 21 years. I couldn't wait to get out, then I got out and couldn't wait to get back. I was raised in church but didn't grow spiritually like one would hope. Because I was just out of hell and into heaven, I made a lot of bad decisions based on what I wanted, how they made me feel, or what I got from them. This led me down the road to selfish ambition and insecurity. People who knew me at the time probably had no idea that the weight of comparison was crippling me. The way I coped at the time was to be more of all the things....have nicer clothes, better shoes, be louder, dance better, win more. I was very driven by what others thought. I remember praying that something had to change. I knew the road I was going down would lead to terrible things, possibly even death, but I didn't know how to get off it. After that prayer, little by little, God began to show me that His opinion mattered more than everybody else's. Once He started showing me who He was, and in turn showing me who I am in Him, my life turned upside down. The insecurity started melting away. I started to realize that all the things didn't sustain me, He did.   Watch Youtube video of this interview here: https://youtu.be/mZd52PA1wA8 Connect with Leslee   Email: lesleekiser@gmail.com Learn more about her book on Amazon (affiliate link): The Course of This World   ________________________________________________________________ Feeling stuck?

Do you find yourself questioning if you’re doing the right business? One thing that comes up a lot with clients is that they are confused about their business. What should their niche be? Really, as Christian entrepreneurs, this means who should their business be serving? When someone is asking questions like this, it can mean that they’re getting stuck in the weeds of all the business strategy stuff and, honestly, looking to the business world to decide who they should be serving with their business.  This happens to so many people (myself included) but it’s not intentional. When we try to use business logic to decide our business direction instead of seeking God’s direction, it causes us to feel lost and confused.  So I want to talk to you today about why it’s important to seek God’s insight on who you are to serve, what that looks like and how to do it.    We’re going to be talking about:  How this is a calling and God has a specific purpose for you and your business. His plan includes you being yourself and leaning into the business He’s given you. What it feels like when your business is focused on the person He called you to serveHow to stay focused on where God is leading or if you’ve found that you’ve drifted away from that, how to get back on track. Doing these 3 things will take away a lot of the uncertainty and confusion about your business and help you have peace and confidence that you’re on the right path.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.  Reminder: Q2/Spring sale - happening through Apr 16th!

As we end Q1 and head into a fresh quarter, we want to be excited in anticipation of the amazing things we are going to be doing this next quarter. But for many of you, I know that instead of excitement, you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed at the thought of doing more things. Either you’re stressed about what you didn’t get accomplished in Q1 or you’re overwhelmed thinking about all the things you want to do for Q2.  In reality, you’re stretched too thin. You’re doing too much. It feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day for all the things you want to do in your business, while still being able to be the mom and wife you want to be.  In this episode, I want to talk about how to calm the stress and overwhelm and operate from a place of peace and knowing as you partner with God in your business and life.  You’ll learn how to check your thinking and your heart in these 3 areas and walk away knowing how to discern which areas need the most help and what to do about it.  I pray you’re able to hear and receive what God has for you from this episode.  Episode Freebie: The Blessed Balance Guide - designed to help you prioritize what’s going on this season as you head into Q2.

Do you ever find yourself asking permission from an online business coach/teacher/mentor? Asking if you’re “allowed” to do something in your business? Or maybe you felt God was leading you in one direction, but you heard an online teacher say the opposite, so you started to doubt what you heard from God.  I think what started as seeking wisdom subtly leads into seeking permission and listening to an online teacher over what God has said.  But I don’t think this is intentional, so I want to talk to you today about why this happens, how to recognize it and how to fix it (or prevent it in the first place).  There are three main lines of thinking that contribute to this happening. What’s wild is that you often won't even recognize you have these thoughts and you’ll just kind of find yourself in that position without even realizing it. Good news is that it really is something you can fix because it starts with thoughts and beliefs and we know those can be changed. So listen as we dive into these 3 thoughts and look at them through a Biblical lens to see how to ultimately trust in God’s plan above all else.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.  Coffee chat sign ups: I want to hear from you.

This revival that’s happening in the United States that started at Ashbury University shows us what revival looks like. I believe a revival is happening in the online business space for moms.   God is calling women back to Him. To see Him in all that they do, to follow Him, to have a yearning to know Him and be used by Him. I know you all can feel it. Let’s be real for a minute: You don’t have to have a business and you don’t have to do it this way.  But you are. And there’s a reason.  You’re listening to this podcast because there’s something in you that’s saying “I want to do this the right way. I want to go where God is leading but I don’t know how or I want to keep my focus on Him because it’s so easy to go astray.”  When God moves, big things happen.  The impact of moms being revived spiritually and on fire for Jesus is HUGE.  As you seek God and grow this business for Him, as an act of worship, then you will see lives changed in His name.  You will build wealth- not because you were seeking it but because you were willing to receive it as God gives it and do His work with it.  But we must remember, revival happens when God moves and the Spirit is working.  But we also have to have willing hearts.  That’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode: How can we prepare our hearts to sense when God is moving and fully surrender to that when it happens?  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    Need coaching support?

Pivoting and changing direction with your business can bring with it a lot of shame. Why can’t you just get it together? When your husband gets frustrated that you’re changing business directions (again), it can be hard. But at the same time, you’re trying to figure this out. You care about your business and following where God is leading so what’s the deal?  In this episode, we’re going to be talking about why changing directions isn’t necessarily a bad thing (though it can be) and how to tell if it is.  I’m going to first change the narrative around what it means about you if you keep changing business directions (this is powerful).  And then I’m going to give you 3 questions you can ask yourself to make sure your heart is in the right place when you are making the decision to change directions in your life or business.  These questions will help you go from feeling shame around the whole thing to knowing exactly what’s going on in your head so you can take the action you want to take and move forward in confidence.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue seeking a Biblical mindset as you pursue your calling.    Biblical Mindset Coaching:  Grab a Biblical Mindset session to have a powerful breakthrough to move forward confidently in your business.

Making a big business decision is the number one thing clients come to me with. It can be anything from deciding which business they should start to deciding which course or product they should create next. Sometimes you can pray and think on the decision, and then you’ll know what you should do. But sometimes, you are faced with a decision that you just can’t seem to figure out what you should do. Often, this kind of decision is one that you’ve been thinking on for months or even years. You’re stuck until you can make this decision. So what do you do?  Like you heard from the live coaching session I shared on episode 77, making a decision isn’t just the tactical, logical aspect. There is a mindset and spiritual component that’s really important too.  That’s what I want to talk about in this episode. You’ll learn about 3 mindset hurdles you need to look out for when it comes to making business decisions and how to overcome them so you can (finally!) make a decision that you know is right and move forward with God has called you to do.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.  From Confusion to Clarity Guide: Grab your copy of this free guide that gives 5 practical steps to clear your thought so you can hear what God is leading you to do.
