The Word God gave me to share for 2019 was "Radical Giving and Receiving." Radical, meaning that it is extremely different from anything else you have done or received before. The year is not over, and this Word is still in operation. In today's message, I am revisiting this Word from God so that you can take full advantage of all that God has for you this year.

By your faith you receive the desires of your heart and are successful in the calling God has given you. Therefore, your faith is the most precious possession you have, so you must be careful not to lose it. The most common way Christians lose their faith is by not growing daily in faith, because if you aren't increasing in faith, you are decreasing in faith.

The bottom line of receiving things by faith is to have faith in God. And faith in God simply means you have to trust in God. Trust that He has your best interests at heart, He is real, and He will reward you if you seek him. Listen to today's message to dig into this concept.

Most times when we don’t achieve our goals it’s because we set those goals without input from God. Setting a goal without a word from God equals trying to throw a rock at the moon. Allow God to set your goals, and watch your goal achievement rate dramatically increase to almost 100%. If God is leading you to partner with us, go to https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner/  

We have all experienced this: You get an idea from God for the marketplace. Then, you implement that idea, but no one buys it, or you sell very little of it. What is the deal?

A God idea is insight from God to your spirit to implement a particular idea in the marketplace. These ideas are designed to be profitable, but many believers struggle to find success with them.

In order to achieve success in your calling, you first have to believe you deserve success. However, many people feel like they are unworthy of success due to past sins, mistakes, and/or missteps. Most of us have done things we are not proud of, but God stills finds you worthy of success. You are worthy of achieving the calling that He has placed in your heart.

Let's be honest. There are things in life and business that we are desiring from God that just have not happened yet. We are waiting (sometimes for years) and we still don't have the desires of our heart. This is a dangerous place to be at because unfulfilled desires create physical sickness that requires spiritual healing.

In the United States of America, today is Thanksgiving. It is a time to spend with friends and family; however, it is also a time when depression can creep in. In particular, for entrepreneurs, Thanksgiving signifies that the end of the year is near, which causes us to look back and wonder, "How come we are not more successful in our calling?" When that thought process happens, it can lead to depression. However, we must resist it.

God desires for us to win every fight of faith and walk perfectly in our calling. However, He knew we would have faith shortcomings that would cause us to lose a few faith fights and take a few wrong turns along the journey of our calling. With this foreknowledge, before He called you, He made provisions for your faith shortcomings so you would still win in the end. Take a listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.

Various bible teachers and pastors preach on the topics of grace, faith, and living holy. Most times you hear these topics in isolation, and depending on who you listen to, it can appear these topics contradict each other. For example, if we are living under grace, do we have to follow God's law to live holy? If we don't live holy, do we fall out of grace? Or how do faith and grace work together to receive the promises of God? In today's message, discover how these three pivotal bible truths work together for our success.

When family and friends don't see immediate results from your entrepreneurial calling, they may give you the advice to quit. Why? Because they don't have the faith to handle the challenge of your calling. Everyone's entrepreneurial calling is filled with challenges, and it requires faith to handle that. However, your family and friends weren't given the faith for your calling. God gave you the faith for it. So don't get upset when others don't support or have faith in what God has called you to do.

In my early twenties, reading the Bible was difficult. To me, it was just words on a page that didn't make any sense. However, as I matured in God, I have discovered that the Bible does make sense.

God has given us two powerful tools to succeed in life and heed our calling. However, for these two tools to be effective, we have to use them actively together. It like having a sword and a shield. They are helpful on their own, but without using both together, you'll lose the battle. The two tools I am referring to are the Bible and Holy Spirit.

You have heard that Jesus's death on the cross brought us salvation. However, have you ever wondered why or how did His death save us? If so, listen up. In today's messages, let's search the scriptures together and discover why the death of Jesus saved us.

None of us were born at the time of Jesus, which means everything we know about Jesus comes from a book called the Bible. That places our entire belief system on a single book. Therefore arises a legitimate question that we should ask: "Is the Bible real?" In today's messages, let's examine this question together.

Just because you can do it or it looks profitable or seems helpful doesn’t mean you should do it. The time God has given you on earth is supposed to be filled with projects commissioned by God. When you involve yourself in unauthorized projects (however good they may be), you will stress yourself out because you will be doing it without God.

Stress is a by-product of a fear-filled mind. The bible tells us that fear produces torment, and that is exactly what stress is. It is tormenting your mind with thoughts of death and lack. However, the bible also tells that the antidote to stress produced by fear is love. Listen to today's message to learn more about this concept.

Once a month, I am instructed to remind you about the Word for 2019, “Radical Giving and Receiving,” so you can take full advantage of the harvest God has for you this year. In today’s message, let's look at the radical joy that comes from radical giving. There is joy in seeing your money or efforts help someone. In this way, we tap into the character of God because God is a giver.

So you heard how God told such and such to give away (fill in the blank), and a few weeks later God blessed them with a brand new (fill in the blank). Then you tried it for yourself and got nothing in return. In fact, you ended up in a worse situation than before. Is God playing favorites? No. Listen to today's podcast to learn why imitating the successful steps of another believer is a recipe for failure.

I had a quick thought that God dropped in my heart to share with you. It is dealing with why things may not be working out for you or why you're feeling unhappy in your activities. Take a listen.

As a believer, you are not successful because you make the best business, life or ministry decisions. You are successful because of the anointing on your life. Therefore, don't stress out over the decisions you need to make. Instead, make a decision and relax in the anointing of God. Take a listen to today's message to learn about this idea.

Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don't have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success. However, none of that matters to God because God's blessing for your success is not based on societal biases. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea.

God has given the Church great power to impact the world. But why aren't we? In today's message, let's explore the scriptures together to discover the answer.

Research shows that two to three million churchgoers leave their church every year. Most leave because of burn out or because they were hurt in someway by their church. With these statistics in mind, in today’s message, I am addressing the reality that so many Christians are contemplating leaving a church.

So far, we have learned that God desires for believers to fellowship together. And when believers do come together, conflict will eventually arise. However, even though the possibility of conflict between believers exists, God still desires us to be in fellowship together regularly. Why? Because the process of becoming the Church is becoming like God. Listen to today's message to dig into this idea.

I have been a member of a local church for 20 plus years. This has afforded me the opportunity to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of church life. I believe God desires for Christians to gather together on a regular basis, but when people come together over long periods of time conflict arises. In today's message, I am addressing three major reasons why being a church member is difficult with solutions of how to overcome them so you can thrive in your church.

There is a battle in the body of Christ that is occurring over the question, “Should Christians attend church?” Research shows that each year 3 million Christians stop attending their church, and only 15% of Americans attend a local church. Given that people are leaving church by the millions, I felt led to address this issue in today’s message by examining the scriptures to bring light to the question of church attendance.

Over the last two days, I have been teaching on the topic of "feeling like you need more time." Today I am going to wrap up this topic by discussing the right motive behind desiring to quit your day job. Most Christians with entrepreneurial callings desire to quit their day job because they believe they need more time to put into their calling. However, this is the wrong motive for quitting. Listen to today's message to see why this is the wrong way to think about it and to learn the correct motive. If God is leading you to financially partner with us to equip believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling, click here to partner.

I am picking back on the theme of feeling like more time is needed. Yesterday, we discovered that more time is not the key to our success; rather, it is the anointing. In today's message, I want to unpack the idea of using this season of your life when there is less time as an opportunity to learn how to better organize your time because there is an anointed speed on organizing time.

In the beginning, most entrepreneurs work a day job and using their remaining time to work the vision God give them. Under this scenario, most will say "if I had more time, I would be more successful." This thought process places their faith for success in the amount of time they have to work on the vision. However, this is misplacing your faith. You are successful not because of the amount of time you have, but because of the anointing of God on your life.

It is critical for us to stay aware of God's current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will allow us to keep going without His anointing. However, this is not a good situation for us because without the anointing, that same assignment that used to be fun and full of success will turn bitter, stress us out, and drive us to depression.

Recently I have been feeling like my pursuit of my calling should be further along than it is. Because I was having these feelings, I was condemning myself for them. However, Holy Spirit nudged me to not condemn myself and to ask God some clarifying questions. He was showing me that it is not from a lack of faith that we ask God questions like: Should I be further along? Should I be doing something additional to increase my success? In today's message, let's explore this idea together so we can get the answers we need.

Christians disagree about whether Jesus was rich or poor. However, the question may be ill-conceived, because while money was necessary to Jesus’ life and ministry, it was irrelevant to him personally. Whenever money was required, Jesus manifested money or its equivalent to meet his needs and the needs of those around Him. On today’s podcast, we’re analyzing the ease with which Jesus acquired money, so you can do the same in your life and business.

When you receive an assignment from God, it is critical to know if the assignment is for provision or purpose. An assignment for provision is usually temporary and is designed to take care of an immediate financial need, whereas an assignment for purpose is long term and is the reason why you were born. Knowing the difference helps you have the appropriate mindset to implement the assignment and positions you for success in the assignment. Listen to today's message to learn more about this idea.

This week (September 23rd - 27th), we are taking a fall break. This means that there will not be any new podcasts this week. However, to still receive the word on a daily basis, visit our podcast archive of over 400 messages and select one to listen to. Our messages in the archive are broken down by category and topic, so you can easily find the right message for you each day. We will resume with new daily messages on September 30th.

After having hundreds (maybe even thousands) of conversations with Christian entrepreneurs around the world, I have discovered that we can partition a calling from God into three stages. Stage one is the core (aka the big idea), stage two is the implementation details, and stage three is the adjustments and additions to the details along the journey. Listen to today's message to hear more about this.

You have probably heard that hard work is the key to success; however, you know many people (and maybe yourself included) who work hard, but success is far from them. This is because hard work is wasted energy if it's not focused and directed by wisdom. Take a listen to today's message to dig into this concept.
