#038 // FOR THE KINGDOM WOMAN WHO'S BEEN PUSHING HARDER THAN EVER AND WATCHING IT PRODUCE LESS THAN EVER…

You've switched strategies. You've gotten to 80% more times than you want to count. You've gone harder every time it stalled. But it's producing less now than it was a year ago.

Whyyyyy??? 😩

So let me say the thing that's going to sound like the worst business advice you've ever heard…

Stop. Trying.

Not stop building. Not stop believing God for it. Stop trying, because the trying is the part that's killing this.

We've been taught our whole lives that effort determines output. That if I don't do, I won't produce. Sister, that's not how it works in the Kingdom, and you're about to see exactly why.

In this week's episode of the Jesus Girl Gang Kingdom Business Podcast, I'm telling you about a rosebush in my backyard in Staten Island years ago that taught me more about launching a business than almost any strategy ever has. What happened to that plant is just what might be happening to you right now.

Here's what we're getting into:

→ "BUT I HAVE TO WORK HARD, DON'T I?" There's a kind of effort Scripture calls dead, and most Kingdom women are running on it without ever knowing. I'll show you how to tell the difference

→ "WHY ISN'T THIS STRATEGY WORKING FOR ME?" It worked for her. It's not working for you. There's a reason that has nothing to do with the strategy and everything to do with what you're connected to

→ THE ROSEBUSH THAT BLOOMED WHITE FOR TWO YEARS and then came back blood red. I could not believe what I was looking at, and when God told me to go research why, what I found changed how I build

→ "WHY IS THIS SEASON SO BRUTAL?" What if God is allowing the weariness on purpose? There's a specific thing that only happens to a plant under extreme stress, and it's the whole point

→ "SO WHAT DO I ACTUALLY DO?" Before you ask God for a single thing, there's a posture that has to come first. We end this one on our faces

Fair warning: this one is going to challenge everything you've been taught about effort. Grab your Bible and a pen, and let's get into it!

#037 // FOR THE KINGDOM WOMAN WHO'S BEEN BUILDING THIS BUSINESS FOR YEARS AND IS QUIETLY STARTING TO WONDER IF SHE'S THE PROBLEM…

The first thing women tell me when they come into my mentorship is almost always the same sentence:

"I've been trying to build this for years."

And underneath that sentence is something they don't say out loud. I'm failing. I'm not cut out for this. I'm getting it wrong somewhere. Maybe I heard God wrong about the whole thing.

That's disappointment, and it's been sitting quiet, deep down on the inside, for a long time.

So here’s the warning label right at the top of this episode:

⚠️ If you put your hope in the wrong thing, you will generate disappointment.

Which means the disappointment isn't coming from how long this is taking. It's coming from where you've been putting your hope. And Sis, where you put your hope is a choice.

Now here's the part that's going to get you. You already know not to put your hope in your own strength. But there's a second place you've been putting it that looks completely spiritual, that most of us would defend, and it is quietly wrecking you.

In this week's episode of the Jesus Girl Gang Kingdom Business Podcast, I'm showing you exactly where your hope has landed, how to move it, and how that one shift kills disappointment and stops delaying your business.

Here's what we're getting into:

→ "AM I THE PROBLEM?" What I hear from almost every woman who comes into my mentorship stuck, and why the stuckness itself has been manufacturing something far more expensive than lost time

→ "BUT I'M TRUSTING GOD'S PROMISE." This is the one that's going to offend some minds. There is a difference between where you think your hope is and where it actually is, and Scripture is specific about it

→ "IS THIS SHAME I'M FEELING?" Ask yourself one question and you'll know whether what happened to you was shame or something else entirely. Most women get this wrong and pay for it in their identity

→ "WHAT IF THE DEADLINE ALREADY PASSED?" What God started teaching me about when I was truly between a rock and a hard place, and why a passed deadline isn't what you think it is

→ "WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SICK OVER THIS?" Hope deferred isn't about the waiting. It's about something you've been doing while you wait, and you can stop today

If you've been building for years and the disappointment has gotten loud, this one's for you. Grab your Bible and a pen, and let's get into it!

#036 // For the Kingdom woman who's been building this business for months or years and is considering throwing in the towel...

You're tired. Not sleepy-tired. The kind where you've been doing this for months, maybe years, and it's still not launched.

So somebody told you to give yourself grace. Maybe you told yourself that.

But what if I told you that you can't? As in, it's not actually possible, and the reason why is going to change how you build.

Grace isn't a soft feeling you hand yourself when things get hard. It's something else entirely, and it belongs to God, which means you have never once been able to give it to yourself.

But here's what's going to get you…

There's a reason you're this worn out, and it isn't the workload. It's what you've been doing with the workload. And I'm going to say something in this episode that might sting a little before it sets you free.

In this week's episode of the Jesus Girl Gang Kingdom Business Podcast, I'm walking you through what grace actually is, why the way you've been building is wearing you out, and the invitation Jesus made that changes the whole thing.

Here's what we're getting into:

→ "WHY AM I SO EXHAUSTED?" The word God gave me that started this whole message, and the reason your weariness might be pointing at something you don't want to hear

→ "ISN'T REST JUST STOPPING?" There's a story where Jesus was worn out from walking and sat down, and then immediately started working anyway. That's not a contradiction, and it's the model

→ "BUT I HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT." Where that belief came from in your life, why it felt like love when you learned it, and what it's actually costing you now

→ "WHY DO I KEEP SWITCHING STRATEGIES?" If you're 80% launched every single time and never cross the line, there's a reason, and it has nothing to do with the strategy

→ THE FARMING IMAGE JESUS USED IN MATTHEW 11 that almost nobody explains properly. Once you see what He was actually describing, "my yoke is easy" stops being a nice verse and becomes a working instruction

If you've been grinding harder and getting nowhere, this one's for you. Grab your Bible and a pen, and let's get into it. Press play!

📖 Scriptures Referenced: John 4 · 2 Corinthians 12:9 · 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 · Romans 7:18-25 · Hebrews 4:15-16 · Matthew 11:28-30 · James 1:21
