In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that has been weighing heavily on my heart: the intersection of business and ministry. As many of you know, there is a growing movement among Christian entrepreneurs who are eager to integrate their faith into their business practices. However, this desire often leads to confusion and conflict about how to balance these two important aspects of life. I begin by addressing the common struggle many face: the feeling that they must choose between running a successful business and fulfilling their ministry calling. I share my own journey of stepping away from formal pastoring to embrace the business world, driven by a revelation that God is moving powerfully within the marketplace. This shift is not just a personal experience; it reflects a broader revival where businesses are becoming platforms for reaching people for the Kingdom of God.   Join the Kingdom Leaders Community HERE Get on the email list (where the really good stuff is) HERE   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:01 - Welcome to Wisdom's Table Introduction to the podcast and its purpose. 00:00:26 - The Conflict of Business and Ministry Exploring the tension between running a business and doing ministry. 00:01:50 - The Rise of Faith-Driven Business Discussion on the recent trend of Christians wanting to integrate faith into their businesses. 00:03:45 - Bridging the Gap Addressing the false divide between business and ministry. 00:04:38 - Defining Business vs. Ministry Clarifying the differences between business transactions and ministry activities. 00:07:06 - Understanding the Exchange Explaining how business involves an exchange of value, while ministry is about giving freely. 00:10:04 - Finding Your Unique Blend Encouragement to define the gray area between business and ministry for oneself. 00:11:50 - Personal Experience in Coaching Rachel shares her journey of integrating ministry into her coaching business. 00:12:21 - Business as a Kingdom Tool Understanding how business can serve as a platform for the kingdom of God. 00:15:18 - People as Portals The concept of people being portals to new dimensions in Christ. 00:17:03 - Being a Minister in Business Encouragement to minister to clients and coworkers through business interactions. 00:18:05 - Your Business is Part of God's Plan Reassurance that business is not in conflict with God's plan but is part of it. 00:19:17 - Next Steps for Integration Practical steps to begin integrating prayer and ministry into business. 00:21:11 - Closing Thoughts and Future Topics Wrap-up of the episode and a teaser for the next episode.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to share a powerful message that I believe God has placed on my heart for you. As I reflect on the incredible growth and acceleration I've experienced in my life and business over the past few years—thanks to the grace of Jesus—I want to encourage you to embrace a mindset of holy audacity. I dive deep into the importance of believing in the vision God has given you. I emphasize that no one will champion your dream more than you will, and waiting for external validation is a fool's errand. It's crucial to take ownership of your calling and to steward it with confidence and faithfulness. I remind you that our confidence comes from Jesus, and I challenge you to ask yourself if you truly believe in the assignment God has placed on your life. Throughout the episode, I discuss the necessity of being ruthlessly audacious in pursuing your God-given dreams. I share practical steps on how to build trust with God, encouraging you to seek His confirmation and to end the wavering mindset that often holds us back. I stress that audacity means not worrying about others' judgments and instead focusing on the impact your obedience can have on those waiting for your "yes."   Want to gain confidence and take your business to the next level?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into part two of our series on being a peaceful CEO, focusing on the crucial concepts of productivity mapping and time protection. Building on our previous discussion about the tyranny of the urgent, I emphasize that a peaceful, biblically grounded CEO is not passive or disengaged; rather, they are anchored, clear, and equipped to combat chaos. I begin by addressing the common struggles many CEOs face with time management, highlighting that simply managing time without considering energy management will not lead to true organization. I stress that God is not asking us to do more but to steward our responsibilities better. Sometimes, the solution to feeling overwhelmed is not more hours in the day but more purpose for those hours.   Let's keep the connection going.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to kick off a two-part series around becoming a peaceful CEO. As business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders, we often grapple with the relentless pressure to move faster, respond quicker, and carry more responsibilities. I want to remind you that if you feel this pressure, it doesn't mean you're failing; it means you're carrying a weight that comes with leadership. Our goal isn't to eliminate pressure but to learn how to carry it well. Today, we delve into one of the most significant challenges we face: the tyranny of the urgent. Coined by Charles Hummel in 1967, this concept refers to immediate pressing demands that overshadow our truly important long-term goals. As business owners, we often find ourselves pulled in multiple directions, reacting to urgent matters that may not align with our core objectives. This episode is about learning to lead from a place of peace without losing momentum.   Ready to build your prayer life?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I invite you to join me as I delve into a profound revelation I recently experienced during my time with the Lord. We explore the theme of expansion principles in the Bible, particularly focusing on a powerful passage from Exodus 23:29-30. I begin by sharing the context of this scripture, where God speaks to the Israelites about their journey into the Promised Land, a land filled with challenges but also abundant blessings. God reassures them that He will not drive out their enemies all at once, but rather little by little, to ensure that they are strong enough to take possession of the land without it becoming desolate or overrun by wild animals. This concept of gradual expansion resonates deeply with our modern-day struggles, as we often find ourselves fixated on immediate goals and quick results.   Links from this episode: Check out "The Expansion Mandate" book HERE Want access to ongoing expansion principles?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, delve into a topic that quietly exhausts many of us in the realms of business, leadership, and ministry: the obsession with numbers. We often find ourselves fixated on revenue goals, follower counts, and growth metrics, which, while not inherently evil, can distract us from the life in Christ we are called to live. As I reflect on my own experiences, I share how I’ve noticed a troubling trend where we replace the concept of fruit-bearing with numerical figures. Instead of asking ourselves who we are becoming, we become preoccupied with what we are producing. This episode marks a pivotal moment for me as I celebrate reaching 20,000 downloads of the podcast, thanks to all of you who have supported and shared it.   Interested in the Kingdom Identity Accelerator?

Kick off your week praying over your business with my entrepreneur's prayer:     Want a copy of the prayer? Grab it below:  Father, in the name of Jesus, I want to thank you for entrusting me with this business, with this assignment, with this stewardship, and this opportunity to reveal your kingdom on the earth through the work of my hands. Today, Lord, I bring it all before you, my dreams, my deadlines, my numbers, my people, my pressure that I'm under.  I choose to surrender it again, because I know this isn't just my business. I know it's our business together. And I know ultimately it is your business, Jesus. So Lord align my heart with your vision. Remind me why you called me to this work in the first place. Strip away the noise, the striving and the comparison. and let my motives be purified by your presence. Where I've been running in circles, Holy Spirit, bring me clarity. Where I've been carrying too much, Holy Spirit, bring me interest. Where I've been afraid to trust you, Holy Spirit, bring me courage. Where I've been blind to opportunity, open my eyes to see how you are already moving.  Father, I ask for wisdom, supernatural wisdom to build what lasts, to build something eternal. Let my strategies be guided by heaven, not pressure and not the ways of the world. Show me which doors to close and which ones to walk through boldly. Jesus, give me discernment to recognize your divine timing and your divine partnerships that you have for me. Father, bless the work of my hands and the people connected to this work. Let this business create value. Let it bring dignity to others. Let it bring peace for every person that it touches. Let generosity and integrity be the atmosphere of everything we do in this business, God.  When I'm tempted to measure success by numbers alone, remind me, Lord, that fruitfulness is about obedience. Remind me that provision flows through purpose. And remind me that I'm not striving for your favor, I'm building from it. Jesus, expand my capacity to carry what you're entrusting to me. Help me to lead with love, manage with grace, and dream with bold faith. Teach me to rest even while I'm growing, to trust even when it's tight, and to see every obstacle as an invitation to partner with you deeper. Holy Spirit, fill this business with your presence. Let peace mark my decisions, let excellence mark my execution, and let joy mark this journey. May everything I build point back to you, Lord. May every win become worship, and may my work on earth echo in eternity.  In Jesus' name, amen. 
In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship and business ownership, addressing a common misconception that many business owners have: the belief that success is solely about how much they do. Instead, I emphasize that true success begins with clarity. Specifically, how clearly we see the problems we face and the solutions we can implement. I liken the experience of owning a business to an episode of the classic show American Gladiator, where the challenges can feel overwhelming and daunting. With constant decisions to make and problems to solve, it’s easy to feel stressed and stuck. However, I reveal that what separates thriving entrepreneurs from those who feel overwhelmed is often the questions they ask. The right questions can uncover hidden obstacles and bottlenecks that hinder growth. Throughout the episode, I present five essential questions that every business owner needs to answer to elevate their business to the next level. These questions are designed to expose what may be holding you back and to help you build from a place of overflow rather than overwhelm.   LAST CHANCE TO JOIN THE KINGDOM INDENTITY ACCELERATOR!

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to dive deep into a topic that has been on my heart for quite some time: kingdom identity. I begin by posing a question I've been thinking on: What if your current life is not a reflection of your potential, but rather a reflection of what you believe about who you are? This question sets the stage for our exploration of identity and its profound impact on every aspect of our lives. Throughout the episode, I share insights from my experience coaching individuals, revealing that many people struggle not with discipline, but with understanding their true identity in Christ. When we fail to recognize who we are in Him, we often find ourselves living reactively rather than from a place of revelation. I emphasize that aligning our identity with heaven can transform our mindset, relationships, and even our financial situations.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into the often overwhelming experience of December, a month that can feel both beautiful and brutal. As a mom of four, I share my personal struggles with the mental load that comes with juggling family commitments, holiday expectations, and the demands of running a business. I discuss the concept of mental load—an invisible weight that encompasses the decisions, reminders, and emotional energy required to manage our lives and the people we care about. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of recognizing our current capacity and honoring the season we are in. I encourage listeners to slow down and let go of the pressure to be superhuman, reminding them that if God has called us to something, we have the capacity for it, even if we can't do it all at once. I outline three key strategies to help manage the mental load and maintain peace during this busy time.   Let's connect!

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Wisdom's Table, Rachel Wortman delves into the transformative power of gratitude and its profound impact on our lives as Christians. As we gather around the table to celebrate this holiday, I want to shift our focus from the traditional elements of Thanksgiving—like turkey, pie, and football—to the spiritual power that the act of giving thanks can unlock in our lives. Throughout the episode, we explore five hidden powers that Thanksgiving activates, emphasizing that these are not just feel-good sentiments but essential spiritual strategies that can reshape our hearts and minds. We begin by discussing how Thanksgiving opens the gate to God's presence, illustrating this with powerful scriptures such as Psalm 100:4-5 and Philippians 4:6-7. We emphasize that the act of giving thanks is a key that allows us to enter into a deeper relationship with God, inviting His presence into our lives.     Interested in working with Rachel in her 1:1 coaching or in her group?
