Pursuing profits is both moral and noble

Daily Study: What holds most Christians in business back from maximal success is this nagging question in the back of their mind: Is pursuing money okay? This uncertainty has them charging less money than they should or wanting to give their products and services away for free. Due to worldly and churchly pressures, we are inundated with messages that say making money is bad, from Hollywood to the Pulpit. They see the pursuit of profit in business as a necessary evil at best, and at worst they s...

Is ministry more important than business?

Daily Study: In many believers’ minds, a business calling is not as important as a ministry calling. Some even feel that business is just a stepping stone to get into “real” ministry. Is this true?

Should you profit from your ministry

Daily Study: If God has called you to start a ministry, a question that comes up is: should you profit from your ministry or should you just minister without asking people to sow into your ministry.

Entrepreneurship is the long game!

Pastoral Chat: Entrepreneurship is the long game, requiring patience, faith, and perseverance, much like the journeys of biblical figures such as Abraham, David, Joseph, and Jesus, who all experienced long periods of preparation before stepping into their callings. God operates on His own timeline, often moving slowly before bringing sudden breakthroughs, and this process applies to entrepreneurs pursuing their divine purpose. Though it can be frustrating to see slow progress, understanding that...

Romans 15:1-7

Romans Series: Romans 15:1–7 outlines the role of a strong believer as someone who bears the weaknesses of others rather than living to please themselves. Paul calls the strong to use their spiritual maturity to build up fellow believers, modeling the selfless endurance of Christ.

Ultimately, the strong are called to lead in accepting others...

Healing nor prosperity is a reward for good behavior

Daily Study: There is an idea that we need to eradicate from our thought processes so we can experience God’s best in our lives. It is the idea that healing and prosperity are rewards for good behavior. The truth is that healing and prosperity are part of our salvation benefits package, which is based on God’s love for us, not our behavior.

The Sacred Call of Caregiving: Are You In or Are You Out?

Bible Discussion: Even though the Bible doesn't use the exact word "caregiver," it talks a lot about helping others. A caregiver is someone who takes care of people. They help with things like their body, mind, feelings, and even their spirit. This can be for people who are sick, elderly, a widow, have disabilities, etc. Being a caregiver is more than just normal everyday tasks. One day, all of us will have to decide. We might need to choose if we will: Be a caregiver Help a caregiver Let someon...

Think on God’s level to prosper

Daily Study: What holds us back from entrepreneurial success is natural thinking based on our limited resources. For example, God calls you to open up a daycare, but you only have one hundred dollars in the bank. Your natural thinking says, “I don’t have enough to do it.” However, God’s thinking says you have enough money; you just need to use your faith to get more. For us to prosper, we must think on God’s level.

Satan can't read our thoughts

Daily Study: Many believers give Satan too much power over them. They do this by contributing God-like attributes to him. For example, God can read our thoughts, so many assume Satan can as well. However, he is a fallen angel, not God. Therefore, Satan can’t read our thoughts and bring the fears in our thoughts to pass. This revelation brings peace, so we can process and work through fearful thoughts without being afraid that Satan knows what we are thinking and can use that against us. Partner ...

New ideas require New thinking

Daily Study: From interacting with negative people and having negative experiences, our minds are filled with limiting thoughts. Thoughts like “People like us don’t do that,” “You don’t have the money for that,” “You’ll never achieve that goal,” etc. Those thoughts must be rooted out of our minds if we are to achieve all God has for us to do. The new ideas God has placed inside us require new thinking. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchfor...

Let go of what you think to receive from God

Daily Study: If we desire to receive God's blessings, then we must let go of our preconceived thoughts of how God is going to do it. Our perception of the way God should bring us His blessings is like a spiritual blindfold that blinds us to God's unique blueprint on our lives to receive our blessings.

Program your mind to think like God

Daily Study: The results we reap are a direct product of the thoughts we think. Our minds are the engines that drive our success; therefore, we have to intentionally program how we think. If we allow worldly thinking to program our minds, then we will reap success mired with sorrows and pain. If our minds have a mixture of worldly and godly programming, then we will be unsuccessful and frustrated. However, if we program our minds to think like God, then we will have success without the hustle an...

A personal wilderness experience might be necessary for mind renewal

Daily Study: If God has called you to be an entrepreneur, the first thing you need to do is change your mindset. The mindset of an entrepreneur is very different from that of an employee. If your mind is not renewed, you will struggle in your calling. Therefore, many entrepreneurs (though not all) must go through a personal wilderness experience—one of lack—for the purpose of mindset renewal, so they can achieve all God has planned for them.

Are you acting like Satan in your thoughts and words

Daily Study: As Christians, we should be imitators of God. However, when your words and thoughts are different than the word of God, then you are acting like Satan.

Don't fear like those who have no hope

Daily Study: Fear is contagious among non-believers because they don’t have the antibodies to fight it, which is hope. However, as believers if we are not careful we can catch the fear virus if we give up our hope. The Bible instructs us not to fear like those who have no hope. Us fighting fear with hope is a sign to unbelievers that Jesus is real. Let’s hope, not fear.

Fear grows through repetition

Daily Study: Fear is a tool of Satan designed to destroy believers and non-believers alike. Therefore, in times of great distress our mission is to stop the growth of fear in our hearts. We stop fear’s growth by cutting off its food source, which is repetition. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com...

Fear binds your spirit which allows the devil free access to destroy you

Daily Study: For Satan to destroy our finances, relationships, and calling, we first must give him access to our life. We grant him access by allowing fear into our lives, which binds our spirit. When our spirit is bound, Satan gains access and destroys our lives. Fear is a dangerous force that we need to kick out. In today’s study, learn how fear binds and how to break those bonds to prevent destruction in your life. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: h...

Leading People to Jesus

Getting someone saved is the Great Commission. Jesus told His disciples that we are to go into all the world, share the message about Him, make new disciples, and teach them His ways. It all starts with making someone a disciple. To make someone a disciple, you need to lead them through a salvation prayer, helping them believe in their heart what Jesus did on the cross for us and receive Him as Lord. That’s how they’re saved. It’s not about the works they do or how good they are after salvation....

Fear creates a Future you don’t want

Daily Study: Fear is a dangerous mindset that creates a future you don't want. It's a future of failure, frustrations, and unachieved goals because fear robs you of the faith required to succeed in life and business.

Living Financially off Your Entrepreneurial Calling

Bible Discussion: Many believers struggle with the idea of living financially off the calling God has given them—whether it’s in ministry, business, or good works—but Scripture makes it clear that God intends for His people to be fully supported in their entrepreneurial calling. If you don’t expect to live off your calling, you won’t; faith operates through expectation, and that expectation must be shaped by God’s Word. Just as the Levites were financially supported to serve full-time in the tem...
