You’ve been obedient. You’ve been consistent. You’ve done the thing God asked you to do... but it’s still not working the way you hoped.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s really happening when your obedience feels like failure. Because my friend...what feels like a setback in your business or calling might actually be the setup for something greater. Let’s shift your perspective, strengthen your faith, and remind you that God hasn’t forgotten you or what He's called you to do!

In today’s episode, we’re going heart-first into:
👉🏽 Why you’re not failing (even if it feels like you are)
👉🏽 Five powerful reasons God might allow “failure” in your faith-led business
👉🏽 How to hold steady in your calling when the results don’t match your obedience
You’re not alone in this. God sees your effort…and He’s doing more than you think.

⏰ Timestamps:
00:00 – That hard feeling: doing what God said...and still “failing”
04:00 – Two areas I kept bumping into failure
07:00 – Why the fruits of the Spirit matter in this season
13:00 – Success might be showing up in a different package
18:00 – The small wins you’re overlooking
21:00 – God might be building your capacity
24:00 – Your “failure” could be someone else’s breakthrough
25:00 – So what do we do while we wait?
27:00 – Obedience over outcome
28:00 – Letting God be enough...even when it hurts
30:00 – Don’t just notice the small wins—pursue them

Have you ever believed that striving for wealth was ungodly? If so, you're not alone. Many Christians feel stuck financially because they’ve been taught that the pursuit of wealth contradicts their faith. In this episode, we’re breaking down the lie that keeps so many believers broke - and silent.

The truth? God doesn’t want you to live with a poverty mindset. It’s not the desire for wealth that’s wrong - it’s when wealth becomes your god (Matthew 6:24). In fact, God wants you to experience abundance, but in a way that honors Him.

We’ll explore:
👉 Financial Freedom: How to break free from financial bondage without letting money rule your heart.
👉 Mental Freedom: Why controlling your thoughts is a form of wealth and how to achieve it through prayer, self-control, and community.
👉 Spiritual Abundance: The power of using your spiritual weapons to build a strong foundation that can withstand any attack.

God’s definition of wealth goes beyond money - it’s about living a life filled with purpose, freedom, and divine provision. Tune in to learn how to embrace financial, mental, and spiritual abundance while keeping your heart aligned with God’s will.

This one’s for the creative who’s been carrying a God-given idea in their heart for way too long. You know the one...the idea that keeps nudging you, whispering at you in the quiet moments, but somehow keeps getting pushed to the back burner.

Yeah… I’m talking to you today.

And don’t worry - I’m not coming for you without checking myself first. Because this? It used to be me. Honestly, some days, it still is. When God gives us something to build, birth, or begin that business, book, product, service, or new season...the resistance is real. Doubt, delay, distraction - they all show up dressed like “good reasons.”

But deep down, you know you’re not at peace because you haven’t moved on what He placed in you.

In today’s episode, we’re going heart-first into:

• Why your idea won’t let you go
• The sneaky ways fear masks itself as “timing” or “preparation”
• And how to take one bold, obedient step toward the vision...even if it’s messy

This isn’t about hustle. It’s about holy momentum.

Let’s talk about what happens when you finally say yes.

Timestamps:

00:00 – A heart check: that God-given idea you keep putting off
00:45 – Let’s be honest about the fear, the uncertainty, and the weight of it all
01:56 – Learning to recognize when it’s God speaking...NOT just a passing thought
03:49 – What it actually looks like to move forward (even when it feels messy)
07:04 – When the self-doubt creeps in and you start questioning if you're "ready"
08:45 – The power of your “yes” and what obedience really activates
15:35 – Some practical ways to take the first step (no perfection required)
16:46 – You don’t have to do this alone - come be part of the community!

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Am I being faithful…or just feeding the algorithm?” - then this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving into the heart of a conversation so many Christians in business are afraid to say out loud: the pressure to perform online, the guilt when your content doesn’t “do well,” and the subtle ways the social media algorithm can start to replace God’s voice.

I’m sharing real talk about what it looks like to build a social media presence that honors God...not just the grid. This isn’t just about strategy (although I’ll give you that too)...it’s about heart posture, obedience, and showing up from a place of peace, not pressure.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why “good content” alone isn’t enough and what actually makes your message anointed
• The truth about stewardship vs. striving when it comes to social media followers and growth
• The "Three E’s" that help you create content that connects deeply
• How to know when you're led by the Spirit...or lured by performance
• Why your follower count can be a part of your calling, not a scoreboard.

Plus, an invitation to join the Burnout-Free Biz community, where we blend spirit-led marketing strategy with mental and emotional wellness for Christian Creatives.

You don’t have to burn out to build a business. You don’t have to hustle to be holy. Let’s take your online presence out of survival mode and into Spirit-led success.

🎧 Tune in now and get grounded in what truly matters...because your calling is bigger than the algorithm!

00:13 – How the algorithm is designed to keep you striving

Let’s be real...choosing God’s plan doesn’t always feel peaceful at first. It often feels like loss. Confusion. Resistance. Especially when your plan made more sense, looked more profitable, or came with a clear timeline.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real behind-the-scenes of what happens when you lay your own agenda down and follow God’s direction, especially in your business.

From the wrestling to the release, I’m walking you through what it’s like to surrender control, obey God when it doesn’t make sense, and still lead with vision and strategy.

Inside, we talk all about:

• What to do when God’s instructions feel risky
• How to discern His voice from yours
• Why peace isn’t always present at first (but it will come)
• The hard but rewarding things to expect when you go God's way instead of your own

This episode is a lifeline for the purpose-driven entrepreneur who’s tired of striving, but scared to fully surrender. If you’re in a season where you’re asking God, “Are You sure this is the way?”...then this is for you.

Have you ever felt like life is throwing way too much at you? Like you're being stretched beyond what you can handle in your business and your overall life? I get it...I've been there too. But what if stress isn’t just an obstacle, but a sign that God is preparing you for more influence, impact, and income?

In this episode of the God Empowered Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m sharing my personal experiences with stress and how both the good and tough kinds of 'more' in your life can actually be divine tests. Instead of seeing stress as something to escape, what if we leaned in and asked God: what are You trying to teach me through this?

For the next 20 minutes, I want to help you shift your mindset, strengthen your faith, and step confidently into what God is calling you to by learning to change your perspective on the stress you're currently facing. Let’s talk about how to navigate your stress with grace and trust that God is equipping you for the next level in business and beyond!

00:00 | Introduction: Why God seems to be putting you in stressful seasons
