The Church for Entrepreneurs podcast has been a game-changer for me in my entrepreneurial journey. Pastor Amos Johnson's ability to simplify the Word of God and apply it to entrepreneurship is truly remarkable. He breaks down complex concepts into easily digestible nuggets of wisdom that are relatable and applicable. Whether you're looking for practical advice or seeking to align your faith with your business, this podcast delivers on all fronts. The teachings have helped me grow as a Christian and business owner, challenging my own prejudices and helping me see the Word and the Trinity in a new light.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Pastor Amos' ability to make scripture relevant and applicable to everyday life as an entrepreneur. His messages are always timely and inspirational, providing encouragement and guidance when I'm feeling discouraged or uncertain in my entrepreneurial journey. The podcasts are short, making them easy to listen to while multitasking, whether I'm testing recipes in the kitchen or developing my business plan. The teachings have not only supported me in my entrepreneurial endeavors but have also helped me stay certain of my "Why" by providing The Word that grounds me.
If there was one potential downside to this podcast, it would be that some episodes may be too heavily focused on the intersection of faith and entrepreneurship for listeners who may not identify as Christians or have a strong religious background. However, even for those individuals, the principles shared can still provide valuable insights into running a purpose-driven business.
In conclusion, The Church for Entrepreneurs podcast is an incredible resource for entrepreneurs looking to align their faith with their business endeavors.

Whatever God has called you to do, he has given you an abundance of time to accomplish it. We serve a God of abundance, which includes time abundance. Let's endeavor to remove the mindset of time scarcity and see time the way God sees it — abundantly and more than enough to complete our calling. __________ Genesis 1:3–5 KJV, Genesis 1:14–16 KJV, Genesis 1:26 KJV, 2 Peter 3:8 KJV, Joshua 10:12–14 KJV, Joel 2:25 KJV, Joshua 14:10–11 NLT, Psalm 103:5 KJV, 2 Kings 20:1–6 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

In this excerpt from Office Hours, Pastor Amos answers a question from one of our CFE members. She's married, has young kids, and is the primary caregiver in her family. She's feeling some kind of way because her husband has more time to go out and do the things he wants to do, while she doesn't have that same amount of time. She's wondering how she should handle this situation. God has placed things in her heart to pursue, but she feels constrained by being the primary caregiver for her children. She's wondering what she should do about this. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

To accomplish your entrepreneurial calling, you are going to need great faith. However, most of us have little to no Faith, thus we are not seeing results. One of the main reasons our faith is so weak is because we do not understand authority. God has placed various human relationships in our lives to teach us authority; however, Satan and modern culture are fighting hard to create a generation of believers who rebel against authority in all forms. Thus, we are in danger of significantly weakening our faith because we don't understand authority through our rejection of authority. __________ Matthew 17:19-20 KJV, Matthew 17:20 AMPC, Matthew 8:5-10, 13 KJV, Exodus 20:12 KJV, Hebrews 13:17 KJV, Ephesians 5:21-24 KJV, Ephesians 6:5 KJV, 1 Timothy 2:1-2 KJV, Romans 13:1-2 NLT, Galatians 6:7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

In this Pastoral Chat, Pastor Amos is discussing how God wants you rich. For some people, that statement sounds like heresy because they believe money and faith should never mix, yet throughout Scripture we see that God is deeply concerned with the provision and prosperity of His people, from the promises of abundance given to Israel to the costly gifts brought to Jesus and the consistent provision throughout His ministry. This does not mean everyone will become financially rich, but Scripture shows that God gives wisdom, ideas, and instructions for prosperity, and whether we experience financial increase often depends on how well we hear, trust, and obey the guidance God places in our hearts, just as the widow in 2 Kings received breakthrough by following the prophet's instructions. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Let's explore the concept that success in your calling is held together by your faith. This concept can be seen clearly in a scripture many people are familiar with: the story of Peter walking on the water.

After many years of marriage, most married couples become painfully aware that while they may love each other, there are days when they don't like each other.

Success in your calling requires spiritual maturity. This means we are no longer allowing our sinful nature to control us. If you are unsure whether you are spiritually mature, signs of immaturity include being jealous of one another and quarreling with each other. For example, this may show up as continuously arguing with your spouse. If you are an employee, it may appear as jealousy toward coworkers and anger toward your boss. If you are an entrepreneur, you may compare your success to that of others. If these signs are present in your life, then you are spiritually immature, which is hindering the success of your calling. __________ 1 Corinthians 3:1-5 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

God has given you a calling for which He desires you to succeed at. However, as much as God desires for you to succeed, Satan desires for you to fail. Therefore, Satan will send many attacks your way that are designed to stop your calling and/or are fashioned to tempt you to give up. A major way we can stop his attacks is to put on the full armor of God. This is practically done by living a life following the ways of God. While living "right" doesn't save us, it can offer protection against the attacks of Satan. __________ Peter 5:8–9 KJV, Ephesians 6:11 KJV, Ephesians 6:14–17 KJV, James 2:26 KJV, Romans 13:12–14 KJV, 1 John 5:18 KJV, Ephesians 4:22–27 KJV, Matthew 6:33 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Many Christians are giving and serving in church but still struggling in the area of prosperity. One of the major causes of this is a misunderstanding of how God brings prosperity to us.

A lack of success or a decline in success is a sign that something needs to change. Since God is the one who brings increase, there should be visible growth over time if you are truly walking in what He has called you to do. If that growth is not happening, it calls for honest self evaluation to identify what may be missing or misaligned, whether in your approach, your effort, or your strategy. Seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit and being willing to adjust is not a lack of faith but an act of faithfulness. Stay persistent, remain open to change, and continue seeking clarity until the necessary adjustments become clear. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

God used a vision to show Peter that instructions from a previous season, though once right and necessary, can be updated as His plan unfolds. Even though Peter had followed laws given through Moses and earlier directions from Jesus Christ, he had to let go of old mindsets to step into the new covenant, realizing that God welcomes all people without favoritism. When Peter embraced this change, he witnessed the Holy Spirit move among the Gentiles, revealing that holding onto outdated instructions can hinder new growth, while obedience to God's current direction opens the door to greater purpose and impact. Therefore, be willing to release past instructions and embrace what God is saying now so you can fully walk in your calling. __________ Acts 10:9–18 NLT, Acts 10:28–29 NLT, Joshua 23:6–7 NLT, Matthew 10:5–7 NLT, Acts 10:34–35 NLT, Acts 44–48 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

If you lose sight of why God called you to your work, you'll lose your passion and eventually experience burnout. After 12 years of CFE, I realized I had drifted from the original purpose, which centered on believers prospering through entrepreneurship and maintaining their faith outside secular control. Getting caught up in daily operations caused me to forget that deeper mission. By revisiting what God originally spoke, I was able to rediscover my "why" and reignite my passion.
