GOD-LED BUSINESS - Make Money Online, Work From Home, Passive Income, Online Business, Start a Podcast

You were called to lead, friend. So why does it feel like you're still waiting for permission? If you've ever wondered what a woman from the Old Testament has to do with your online business, this episode is going to surprise you. If you're searching for what the story of Deborah teaches us about faith, leadership, and building a God-led business, you're in the right place.

In this episode, I'm unpacking the story of Deborah, judge, prophet, and military commander, and what her "palm tree" model reveals about building a business as a woman who feels called but keeps waiting for the right conditions. We look at how Deborah led without waiting for conditions (Judges 4:4-6, NLT), how she moved even when the general Barak hesitated (Judges 4:8-9, NLT), and how she gave God the credit the moment the battle was won (Judges 5:2-3, NLT).

I  share with you the DEBORAH Decision, my 3-Step Lead Anyway Plan, and 3 things her business model teaches us: niching down and staying put, partnering without shrinking, and acting on the word instead of the feeling. Obedience, even in the small things, is still obedience. Deborah didn't need a bigger platform. She needed a calling and the courage to use it.

I pray this blesses you, friend!

You don't have a readiness problem, friend. You have an obedience problem. And in this episode, I'm walking through why God has never once called a ready person, He calls available ones, and why waiting for the "right" conditions might actually be fear wearing a responsible outfit. We look at Moses, who gave God every logical reason he was the wrong man for the job (Exodus 4:10-12, NLT), and Joshua, who was commanded to be strong and courageous BEFORE he felt it (Joshua 1:9, NLT). We also sit with the parable of the buried talent (Matthew 25:25-27, NLT), because the "safe" choice to wait isn't always the wise one.

I'm giving you 3 signs you're waiting for ready when God is actually asking you to move, and walking you through my AVAILABLE Framework, a simple 4-step plan to take your first obedient step today, even with zero clarity and zero confidence. God is so faithful to meet us exactly where we're standing, even when where we're standing is scared and unsure. He's not asking for readiness. He's asking for availability.

893 — Afraid to Start Your Business?

959 — Not Starting Your God-Led Business Isn't Humility. It's THIS.

949 — God Won't Give You Clarity Until You Commit

A lot of Christian women are building businesses while secretly believing that wanting real financial growth is unspiritual. They pray for provision but cap what they let themselves pursue. If you’re searching for "God and making money in business" or "is it okay to want to make money as a Christian entrepreneur," this episode  directly answers that question.

In this episode I share three lessons God actually taught me about money, the real, honest, liberating truth that changed how I build and how I earn. The three lessons are: God can't bless what you won't build (provision flows through obedience and infrastructure, not just prayer); guilt about money is not humility, it's a lie the enemy uses to keep Kingdom women financially small; and consistent income requires a consistent system, not constant hustle. 

The parable of the talents frames the entire teaching — burying what God gave you is not humility, it is disobedience. Scripture anchors include 1 Timothy 6:10 (it's the LOVE of money that's the problem, not money itself) and Luke 16:10 (faithful with little is the qualification for being trusted with more). 

The episode closes with a Four-Step Action plan: audit your money beliefs, audit your offer and funnel, repent of anywhere you've buried your talent, and a word-for-word prayer of surrender and stewardship. God is not withholding financial blessing from you because you want it too much. He is waiting to see if you will faithfully build what He told you to build. 

I pray this episode sets you free.

969 — God Didn't Call You to Hustle, He Called You to Build a Business His Way

973 — God Can't Bless a Business Built on Fear

You've been saying you need more clarity. You've been waiting for one more sign. But what if the real issue isn't confusion at all? If you’re searching for "afraid to follow my calling" or "confused about God's calling for my business," this episode  directly answers that question.

In this episode, I reveal one of the most common lies Christian women believe about their calling; that they don't know what it is, when in reality, they do know. They're just afraid. Here I walk you through the 3 Signs You're Afraid, Not Confused: continuing to research instead of deciding, feeling peace about the idea but dread about the action, and waiting for a sign that God has already given. I then name the three fears underneath the stalling; fear of wasting time, fear of being seen, and fear of not being enough and explain how Scripture addresses each one directly.

This episode is anchored in 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9, and Jeremiah 1:6-8, each demonstrating that called people in Scripture were afraid people who moved anyway. The courage came through the obedience, not before it. I close this episode with a four-step action plan including a word-for-word prayer and one small obedient action to take today.

If any of these sound like you,  feeling stuck in "waiting for clarity," an entrepreneur who keeps researching instead of launching, faith-based business owner that knows God's calling  but paralyzed by fear, or anyone asking God for a sign He's already given, please tune in now!

 

I pray this episode is the nudge you needed.

893 — Afraid to Start Your Business?

949 — God Won't Give You Clarity Until You Commit

959 — Not Starting Your God-Led Business Isn't Humility. It's THIS

You have the episodes recorded. You have the equipment. You have the plan. And you still haven't launched. In this live coaching snippet, I sit down with P2P student Lori Parks, host of Raw Milk, Real Food,  who had been sitting on three months of recorded content, telling herself she wasn't ready. What we uncovered together wasn't a strategy problem. It was fear of judgment from the people closest to her.

Listen in as I coach Lori through the real reason so many women delay their launch, it's not tech confusion, it's not imposter syndrome about their niche, it's the weight of what the people in their personal lives might think.

If you've ever felt that specific kind of fear, not fear of strangers but fear of the people who already know you, this episode will name it and walk you through it. We also refine Lori's tagline on the call and land on one of the most freeing reframes in podcasting: nothing about launching is permanent. You can always adjust, update, and evolve. The only mistake is not starting.

By the end of this call, Lori had a hard launch date. May 20th. That's what obedience looks like, not perfect, not fearless, just decided. God is so faithful to the women who finally say yes. Obedience, even the small scared kind, is still obedience. 

 

Recommended for: Christian women who have recorded episodes but haven't launched, podcasters paralyzed by fear of judgment from family or friends, entrepreneurs sitting on a calling they haven't acted on yet, and anyone who needs permission to launch before they feel ready.

I pray this blesses you!
