What if the gap between your God-given dream and your lived reality isn't faith, but vehicle? This transformative teaching challenges conventional thinking about business and faith, revealing how Jesus' command to "do business until I come" isn't a minor suggestion but a framework for kingdom impact.

The journey begins with a powerful biblical revelation from Luke 19 and Proverbs 11:26, where we discover that selling isn't selfish—it's stewardship, and withholding your wisdom is the truly selfish act. We explore the crucial transition from "manna mindset" (emergency provision) to "management mindset" (mature stewardship), illustrated through the compelling pantry versus pipeline metaphor. While prayer fills the pantry with just enough for today, business builds the pipeline that creates sustainable abundance.

At its heart, business is solving painful problems so effectively that people gladly pay in gratitude. The coffee shop owner sells permission to breathe to an exhausted mom; the auto mechanic restores peace of mind to a stressed driver. When you package your God-given wisdom into digital products, your customers aren't thinking "this greedy entrepreneur"—they're thinking "thank you for saving me years of struggle."

The teaching unpacks five kingdom reasons every Christian should consider business: provision with integrity, time freedom for assignment, authority through outcomes, multiplication on purpose, and generosity on offense. Through real-life examples of ordinary believers who transformed their wisdom into digital products, you'll see how everyday expertise can become extraordinary impact.

For those ready to take action, the episode provides a complete seven-day blueprint to launch your first digital product without technical expertise or a large audience. From identifying your specific promise to delivering your solution and pricing with integrity, you'll receive a practical roadmap to turn your wisdom into a business that serves others while creating sustainable income.

Ready to stop withholding and start building? Learn how to package your wisdom, price it with care, and sell it with love. Your obedience to Jesus' command might just be the vehicle that bridges the gap between your God-given dream and your lived reality.

Your biggest financial block isn't the economy or market conditions—it's the script you were handed about money before you could even spell it. Those early memories of parents arguing about bills, hearing "we can't afford that" repeatedly, or absorbing subtle messages about who deserves wealth have programmed your relationship with money at a fundamental level.

Most of us didn't choose our money story—we inherited it. And unless we consciously examine and rewrite that programming, we end up running someone else's financial narrative on autopilot for our entire lives. This invisible programming explains why some people sabotage opportunities, feel guilty about raising prices, or work incredibly hard without seeing financial progress.

When we look at the parable of the talents, we find a fascinating biblical perspective. The master didn't just want his resources preserved—he expected multiplication. Yet many of us operate from poverty programming that tells us to play it safe, hold tight, and avoid risk—the exact opposite of what the servant who buried his talent was rebuked for doing. What if our inherited financial beliefs are actually hindering our divine calling to steward and multiply?

Breaking poverty programming starts with awareness. By identifying your earliest money memories and the beliefs they created, you can consciously rewrite your financial story. Instead of "money is stressful," you can choose "money is a tool that brings peace and possibility." This isn't just positive thinking—it's neurologically rewiring your approach to wealth and opportunity.

This transformation extends far beyond your bank account. When you break poverty programming, you're disrupting generational patterns and modeling new possibilities for everyone in your sphere of influence. Because you don't rise to the level of your potential—you fall to the level of your programming. Take back the pen, write a new script, and discover what happens when wisdom replaces fear, stewardship replaces scarcity, and multiplication becomes your mandate.

If you hate selling, it’s probably because you’ve confused selling with manipulating. But Proverbs 11:26 says, “The people curse the one who withholds grain, but blessing is on the head of him who sells it.”

In this episode of The Mark Casto Program, Mark dismantles the lies that keep faith-based entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives from selling with confidence. Sales isn’t selfish—it’s stewardship. Refusing to sell your God-given wisdom doesn’t make you holy; it makes you a withholder.

Through powerful stories, biblical wisdom, and proven business frameworks, Mark shows you how to reframe sales as service, break free from fear of rejection, and step boldly into multiplying what you’ve been entrusted with.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The biblical principle of Proverbs 11:26—and why withholding your “grain” is the real curse.
• Why sales is not manipulation, but persuasion with integrity.
• How scarcity mindset distorts your view of money and opportunity.
• The role of self-education in breaking poverty programming and stepping into multiplication.
• Practical steps to reframe rejection, clarify your offer, and start selling with confidence.
