Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right in your business? Praying, working hard, and striving to follow what you believe is God's plan? But then, you launch the product or business, and it completely  flops. I've been there and talk about a discouraging feeling. However, I've also had the realization (after those feelings of doubt settled in) that God has a plan for us that we cannot even begin to fathom - we just have to be obedient. In this episode, Jenn dives into 5 biblical truths that are there for us when we begin to feel frustrated in our business ventures. Listen as she walks us through verses and encouragement to lean on during these faith-building experiences. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode!

In this episode, we are using the story of Jesus and Peter in the boat in Luke 5. Jesus tells Peter to go back out, and Peter catches so many fish he has to call his friends to come help. But that wasn't the end of the story- the goal wasn't a successful fishing trip, it was to test Peter's obedience, show Jesus' power, and call Peter to be his disciple.We may be praying for more fish, but we can't become so focused on the fish that we miss the bigger the purpose!Why would you want more responsibility? Let me give you a few reasons - You were created for a purpose. Therefore, if you are not operating fully in that purpose, although you may be comfortable, you will not have a peacefulness in your soul. Because God will continue to pursue.You were given spiritual gifts to have an impact on the Kingdom. You have the ability to help, guide, and even show the love of Jesus to someone. You can bring the hope of Christ through your giving, your love, your availability - you have no idea the impact you can have on this world when you are open to Christ using you in a powerful way.We have the amazing privilege of receiving our inheritance through Christ, through nothing we can do on our own except believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior. That is amazing. And God gives good gifts to his children because of his unconditional love. However, we know that obedience pleases God. We also know that jesus said, “If you love me, obey my commands” John 14:15In Hebrews 11:6 - “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”It’s your choice, friend. I will say this - I feel very strongly that revival is coming, and that the revival fire will be heavily flamed by business. Where we put our money and our influence matters. Who we help, how we serve, what we say - it all matters to the Kingdom and it matters as to how God will use us for bigger things.

"To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance." Matthew 25:29In our Prepared for Breakthrough mini-course, we are looking at 4 ways we need to prepare for God to work out a breakthrough in our lives, and this is step 2! We have to be faithful in a little! Jesus talks about this principle really clearly in Matthew 25. What "little" thing is God asking you to do? Are you so focused on the "big" that you are missing ways to be faithful today?Show Links"FREE - 31 Days of Powerful PrayersEquipped Digital Library (Prepared for Breakthrough is found here!)

How do you feel when you are being pulled into something brand new? Maybe you need to create a digital course. Maybe you need to start a podcast. Maybe you need to write a book - and the overall tasks seem daunting. How do you respond?How do you respond when you try something and you don’t get the outcome you want? You work hard and no one buys your course.  You start a podcast and get very few listeners. You put yourself out there on social media and don’t get responses? How do you handle these situations?How do you handle unexpected problems? You’re doing a webinar and you have technical difficulties. You create a funnel and your links don’t work. You trying to do a podcast and your audio won’t upload. Having the right Biblical mindset, founded on your faith and belief of who God is (and not on your own skills) is CRUCIAL to surviving (and thriving) as a Faith Filled Entrepreneur.Show links:EQUIPPED!

Fasting is all about a closeness with God. Unpopular opinion - I don’t think fasting is optional - now I’m not talking about salvation. But when you look at how Jesus talks about fasting, he puts “prayer and fasting” together many times. And when he’s preaching about it, he starts by saying, “when you fast” not - if you decide to fast. In the same phrasing as “when you pray” he says “When you fast, fast like this - come ya hair” and even better - when you fast and you fast with pure motives and not for the sake of people looking at you and patting you on the back, the Father rewards that - so although it’s a sacrifice, why would we not want to fast?So while there are several reasons that people fasted in the Bible, I want to hone in on 4 of them. 1. To prepare their hearts for ministry or mission - 2. To ask God for wisdom. 3. To ask God for protection or victory- 4. To worship God Show Links:Prepared for BreakthroughEquipped Digital Course Library (includes Prepared for Breakthrough)Monday Devotions (Free)

Happy New Year! I always love the start of a new year.It just feels like a tangible time to reflect and change and get excited about something new. Coming to the present, towards the end of 2023, God started dripping a word in my mind again. My word for this year is VISION - and not just any vision, but a Holy Spirit led vision. God is calling me to stay the course - after a lot of molding and redefining my businesses, I’m finally getting some bigger picture clarity and not just the “just trust me - take this next step blindly in faith” clarity that defined 2023.Here are 7 ways to get a Holy Spirit led vision.Commit your business to the Lord.Live righteouslyAsk for wisdom.Give space for God to answer.Be faithful to take steps of obedience, even in difficultyBe faithful in the waiting.Rinse and repeat.Resources:Waiting With Purpose - Free!31 Days of Powerful Prayers - Free!IG - @thefaithfilledentrepreneur

Surrender - My 2023 FocusLast year was the first year that I actually had a word, or focus for the year. That is not a practice that I’ve ever really done in the past. And last year, I wasn’t intentionally looking for a word per say. I was in a time of fasting and praying with my church in January of 2023, and clear as day, the word “Surrender” played over and over in my mind. I knew without a doubt that my focus for 2023 would be to surrender, in obedience to whatever God had for me.That embarked quite an adventure this year. And I want to be fully transparent on this episode, this has been the hardest year of my entrepreneurial journey since I started 5 years ago. Harder than my first year. Harder even than 2020. God continued to be faithful and prepare and equip me for next steps. No matter where you are in your journey - God's got you. He's guiding you, and every step has a purpose.Want more guidance as a Faith Filled Entrepreneur?Follow us on IG @thefaithfilledentrepreneurGrab your free Evaluate 2023 to Elevate 2024 GuideGrab your free 21 Days to a Faith Led Business Prayer and Devotional GuidePurchase Fight Fear with Faith and be Elevated by God: A Study of Esther

We know that waiting is all part of the journey. For entrepreneurs, we can probably all agree that its up there on the list for our least favorite parts of the journey. You know God has called you a particular direction. You’ve taken that step of obedience and faith. You’ve taken the risk. You’ve started the business, or created the product, or sent the uncomfortable emails and text messages…you’ve been brave and walked out on the ledge…and now you’re still out there just sitting on the ledge. Or maybe that’s what it feels like. And it’s scary. And you’re maybe a little confused because you’re starting to question if you heard God correctly. Maybe you even feel a little like a failure or a fool. Your family or your friends have seen you step out on this limb in faith…and now you’re waiting.Let's get some Biblical encouragement and truth in this journey!Download your free resource: Waiting with Purpose and get Bible verses and Biblical examples of people who waited well, and were blessed!

Confusion is a weapon of the enemy to stop us from moving forward with the Kingdom Purpose God has given us! So how do we combat confusion:Recognize it - God is not a God of confusion (unless you are the enemy - which you are not), so if confusion is settling in, you need to recognize it, and you need to take a step back.Get in the WORD. The Bible is enough, but I also want to encourage you to use commentaries and Biblically sound Bible studies to help you dive in. As a warning, in Acts 17, as Paul preaches to the people in Berea, verse 11 says, “They searched the scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. As a result, many Jews believed, as did many of the prominent Greek women and men.) Make sure you are not taking teachings at face value without digging into the Word yourself.Connect to the Holy Spirit. If you have put your faith in Christ, you have the Holy Spirit. He is guiding, correcting, teaching and encouraging you along the way. You still have to open to his teaching and living a life of obedience and expectation to be able to hear that guidance. I will put some books that I have learned from in the show notes if you are looking to dive deeper.Pray - James 1:5 says, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God and He will give it to you.” Psalm 37:23 says, “The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Spend time with God and give him space to sort out your confusion.Sisters, listen - if you are confused, please don’t stay still. Actively connect with the giver of direction and peace. Because confusion will only keep you from moving fully into your purpose and having the Kingdom Impact that God called you to have. We don’t have time for that.Resources I love:Jen Hatmaker: The Modern Girl's Guide to Bible Study (I don't agree with Jen Hatmaker's later beliefs about Christianity, but this is an excellent guide to learning how to read the Bible).David Paul Washer: Studying the Holy Scriptures Jeannie Cunnion: Don't Miss Out: Daring to Believe Life is Better with the Holy SpiritYou can also  get our free bible study guide: Why We Need It and How We Read It- Just click here!EQUIPPED Monthly Membership is open!

You place your hand of blessing on my head.”The second one is Deuteronomy 1:29-33. “But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid (of them)! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do (in Eqypt). And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way (as you traveled through the wilderness), just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place. But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God, who goes before you (looking for the best places to camp) guiding you with a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day.Now I now that one was long, and I want to read it again as I wrote it down for me - again, we never add or takeaway from the Bible, and we know that Deuteronomy is talking about the Israelites, but God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, right?“But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid (of the unknown)! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do (in your other businesses). And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way (as you’ve walked through other unknowns), just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place. But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God, who goes before you, guiding you with the Holy Spirit every step of the way.The part of this verse that went through my head over and over and over again - and as I said, still is - is Now he has brought you to this place…and after all you have seen him do, why would you not trust him now?So what place has God brought you to? Does he want you to start something? Does he want you to walk away from something? And do you truly believe that if he has brought you to this place, he will provide abundantly out of his riches? If worry is creeping in, defeat it with truth friend, and take that step forward in faith. See you on Instagram!Download 21 Days to a Faith Led Business!

The day this podcast is released will be Father’s Day. I know there can be a plethora of emotions that that come through. I was blessed to be raised by my biological dad and my step dad, both men I called dad, and both walked me down the aisle my first message. My biological dad died suddenly one month before my wedding to Chris, so that, as you can imagine, was a super difficult time, and I still miss him every day. Sometimes, our view of God as our Heavenly father can be skewed by our past experiences with our earthly father. Today, I want to just give you a few reminders of your Heavenly father’s love for you, and the truth that he is a good, good father.In this episode, we discuss 4 characteristics of God, backed up by scripture. Here are the scriptures:God is relational:Psalm 139:16Psalm 139:17 Isaiah 43:1-4He is a God of provision and direction:Psalm 37:23-24 Psalm 36:8-9Psalm 34:8-10Matthew 6:31-33Psalm 37:34He is a God of Love:Psalm 138:7-8Ephesian 3:16-19He is a protector:Deuteronomy 1:29-33Psalm 62:5-6And bottom line, friend - as Psalm 56:9 tells us - This I know!

Ok, so you’re ready to be available to God. You know His way his better. You tell him that you’re open, and then he starts moving you in a direction that does not make sense. Maybe he’s asking you to do something that seems way out of your financial means. Maybe he’s moving you in a job or a business that you do not feel equipped for. Maybe he has put a burden on your heart and you don’t know why. Maybe you feel like he’s taking you in a totally different direction than your degree or even a passion you initially felt.Enter Joshua. Joshua was a skilled military leader, but that’s not why God used him in such mighty ways. Joshua was also fully surrendered to the Lord, even when the directions didn’t make sense.As a podcast listener, for this week only, you can still get the pre-order price of the Fight Fear with Faith Bible Study Bundle!

 Do you ever feel like there are sins in your past that may stop God from being able to use you. Do you feel shame or like it’s “too much” to be redeemed. Stepping into a place of Bible teaching, Satan has thrown those lies at me often. Maybe this is why I love the story of Rahab so much. While Rahab was still a prostitute, God started preparing her heart and the circumstances around her to be used in a mighty mighty way. She’s even mentioned in James as one who was counted righteous because of her actions. I mean, out of all the people the brother of Jesus could’ve named…God shows up in so many ways in Rahab's story:1. The location of her home2. The direction of the spies3. Her occupation as a distractor4. The season5. Her softened heart towards GodAnd what God does through her is incredible!
