Business School Session 4  - Many believers in business feel uneasy about marketing their business because they see marketing as a worldly self-promoting activity. Because of this many have the posture that God is going to bring customers. However, this is far from the case. Marketing is not optional for business success. In fact it is required. Marketing is not being prideful, but is intentionally and frequently making the right people aware of your business. Links - Join, Partner

Business School Session 3 - As Christians, we are conditioned to charitably give things away; therefore, many Christians who run businesses feel weird and uneasy about selling their products or services in exchange for money.  This awkwardness may lead us to underprice or give away too much, which can bring about frustration and eventually cause us to go out of business. To succeed in your business, you need a paradigm shift in selling. Because selling products and services for money is blessed. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - If you are dealing with mental health issues, should you just pray and wait for God to heal you, or should you seek professional help? If you do seek professional help, are turning your back on the power of God?

In today's Pastoral Chat, let's discuss this from a Biblical view point. Links - Join, Partner

Impromptu Message - For many situations you face in life and business there is not a direct Bible text to tell you what to do. In those times we usually rely on the Holy Spirit to help us make decisions. However there are times when we need to make decisions where the Holy Spirit may appear to be silent, not offering any input. In those times, God may be allowing you space to come to your own conclusion about what to do. We have to remember that God is training us, so like any good parents there are times when we need our children to develop their decision muscles. We let them decide what to do first, and then we offer our opinion on their choice. Likewise, God may be allowing you space to decide. After you decide He will give His opinion (not command) on your decision. Links - Join, Partner

Business School | Session 2 Many Christian entrepreneurs have a love/hate relationship with money. They desire to have it but wonder if it is godly to go hard after making money in business. If this tension is not resolved, then we will self-sabotage our businesses, and they will not be as profitable as they should be. In this week’s lesson, we are going through the scriptures to gain the proper mindset about making money so that our businesses can prosper. Links  Join | Partner

Business School | Session 1  The spiritual force that brings financial prosperity is the blessing. The blessing is not a reward for good behavior, it is a free gift given to us through Jesus Christ. However, many Christians are not prosperous. Why? Because the blessing for prosperity is activated by the work of  our hands. And the location of our hands determine our level of prosperity. If our hands are in other people's businesses, then we have limited our prosperity. If our hands are in the business God has given us, then we can have unlimited prosperity. Links: Join, Partner

Sunday Message - When a man has a son, he often gives his son his same name, denoted by "Jr." The "Jr." represents that his son will be just like him. In the same way, God gave Jesus His name, "I Am," to let us know that Jesus and God are one. But it does not stop there. Jesus was the firstborn son. Through Jesus, we all are sons and daughters of God, and He has also given us all His name. All believers who received Jesus as their Lord and Savior are God Jr. Links - Join, Partner

I have found that God is constantly speaking to all believers. Although He is speaking, the issue is interpreting what He is saying. Interpreting the voice of God is based on your theology. Theology is a fancy word for your beliefs about the nature of God and how He operates. Every believer has a theology, and everybody's theology is incomplete and/or wrong in some areas. Therefore when God speaks to us, our interpretation has a chance of being incomplete or wrong. In this Sunday's message, I examine this concept and provide some practical ways to develop a more correct theology, so we can interpret the voice of God more accurately.

Many Christian entrepreneurs are spending a lot of time working on their business. However, as I have been studying the Word, I am finding that God wants us to spend more time working on ourselves vs our business. Because when you develop, then your business will succeed. No the other way around. Listen today's reflection, to explore this concept with me.  Link: Join our online community

One of the main purposes of believers is to create more believers by winning the lost (aka nonbelievers). However, to win them, loving them is required. Why? Because if we don't love the lost, we are not going to have the motivation to win them or have the right vibe to attract them to Christ. Many of us don't love the lost, but instead we are in a war of words against them. If we are going to be an effective soul winner for God, we have to stop fighting the lost and start loving them. In the online community, let's discuss. What is the Holy Spirit saying to you about loving the lost? How can you guard your heart to stay in love with them? Link: Join our community
