Unlock your identity from the past to move forward
Pastoral Chat - Many of us have spent many years identifying ourselves as this profession or that profession. Maybe you have been a social worker for the past fifteen years, a brain surgeon for thirty years, or a high school teacher for five years. In any case, now God is calling you to step into something new that requires you to unlock your identity from what you were in the past. It can be scary because this is who you have been for so long, and you have found a sense of comfort in identifying as a social worker, brain surgeon, or high school teacher, etc. However, to move into your future, you have to unlock your identity from the past.

Get comfortable with taking action on partial information from God
Daily Word - Ninety-nine percent of the time God gives us partial information about our calling. Therefore, we must get comfortable with taking action on partial information if we desire to be successful. I know this all too well, because just recently Church for Entrepreneurs entered a new phase of its calling: from just a podcast to an online church home to entrepreneurs worldwide. This path was filled with partial information from God. In this message, I am examining this concept and presenting our story as a case study to help you see how God is guiding you over the years, even if you don’t know exactly where it is all going.

Do you have the courage to create content for one person?
Pastoral Chat - Can you do it for one? If God has called to be a content creator, the question is, can you just do it for one person? When you make a video, if only one person watch, can you still make that video, can you keep creating content? Jesus said he left the 99 to go after the one. So can you do it for the one? If you can't do it for the one, you're not going to have the stamina to keep creating until you reach the thousands and millions. Links - Join, Partner

COVID, Masks, Vaccines, and the Mark of the Beast
Special Meeting - I have not talked a lot about COVID-19 over this past year. However, now after a year of prayer and study, I feel a leading from Holy Spirit to share my thoughts on COVID-19 in terms of wearing a mask and whether or not you should get vaccinated. Also, I am exploring if wearing masks and/or getting vaccinated represents the mark of the beast.

Stop judging your success by "normal" standards
Pastoral Chat - As entrepreneurs, we are not normal people. For example, we trade in successful corporate careers for the untested promise of starting our own projects. Because we are not normal, we have to stop judging ourselves by normal standards of success; we may not own our own home by age 30 or have a fully-funded retirement plan. When we judge ourselves by what normal society says success should look like, it distracts us from our calling. Embrace your non-normal calling from God. He has created you to uniquely follow the path of your calling, which won't have the trappings of "normal" success. Watch today's Pastoral Chat to further explore this idea. Links - Join, Partner

Don't discount the counsel of your pastor about your business
Daily Word - Because your pastor is not in business, you may feel like that they don’t have the experience or knowledge to counsel you in your own business endeavors.

There is not a right or wrong answer to your situation

What did Jesus say about divorce and remarriage

Unhealthy dating blocks business success
Pastoral Chat - There is healthy and unhealthy dating. With healthy dating, both parties in the relationship are genuinely dating for the purpose of finding their spouse. Unhealthy dating is when singles date with no intention of the dating relationship potentially leading to marriage. If a single believer is dating just to be dating and/or having a sexual relationship with the person they are dating, then they are creating a distraction that hinders their business success.
