Seeking Over Striving - Christian Entrepreneur, Trust in God, Biblical Encouragement, Financial Freedom, Make More Money

Emotional discounting is a buzz-phrase in the service industry and that's because it's all too common. The key is getting to the root of why you are doing it. I boil it down to three reasons. No matter that reason, or combination of, we need to renew our mindset, do identity work, and check our ego at the door. Listen in and tell me what you think!  #ILYSM XOXO, Beth  P.S.

Bible Study Fellowship - Magnifying God and Maturing His People. (bsfinternational.org) There is the link above to the bible study I mention!  Jesus's promises are ultimately for eternity but we are called to hold fast to our faith here on earth until the end. We can persevere and hold true to His word as a Christian woman and it can reflect in our small business and journey through entrepreneurship.  It is important to not compromise with false teachings or get complacent.  God's light shines through you in your email marketing, social media content, podcast episodes, and customer service, whether you intend it to or not.  But, we SHOULD be intentional! Not in a try-harder-to-prove-yourself-worthy kind of way but in a way that naturally flows from the Holy Spirit. This natural flow comes when you are intentionally following Jesus every day in your life and business.  If you need help persevering,focusing on Christ, and finding your identity in Him, not wealth, schedule your 60 minute 1:1 coaching call today, I can't wait to chat...

Building your faith and getting to know who God is, is key to peace in your life through the journey of entrepreneurship. If you want to hear God's voice as you slow down and seek Him first in your business it begins with knowing WHO He is. He says, "my sheep hear my voice." We have to surrender and submit (a bad word these days) to Him being our Shephard in order to hear His voice. We also need to get to know Him. How can we trust Him if we don't actually know Him?  I challenge you to carve 15 minutes out of your day to spend time in prayer and in His word. I know it's hard, but the email funnels, content creation, meal prep, social media marketing, financial planning, and customer service will wait. There is Grace even in time. Put Him first on your schedule, and all other things will fall into place.  I pray today's episode blessed you!  If you need help focusing on Christ and finding help with who He says you are,  schedule your 60 minute 1:1 coaching call today, I can't wait to chat...

In the #bossbabe culture of hustle being glorified and the constant pursuit of more, we, as Christian entrepreneurs, often succumb to burnout.  Six figures, 10k months, scaling your business, the perfect email marketing, the perfect passive income funnel, the social media content, and the social networking, time management systems, all promise us freedom, but at what cost? Is it actually a trap? I believe so.  It's time to slow down and seek God first in our life and business so we can have real freedom, which only comes from following Jesus.  Thanks for joining me for today's episode!

I thought "comparison is a thief of joy" was a bible verse, it isn't! It's actually a famous quote by Teddy Roosevelt, I wonder if it was Holy Spirit inspired?  Nonetheless, it is something to think about, and directs us to some biblical encouragement and thinking.  As an entrepreneur, even as a Christian entrepreneur, the struggle with imposter sydrome is real, and the temptation is everywhere! Thanks to social media, we can see everyone's everthing, and the ability to compare ourselves to others is at our fingertips.  God's calling for you is not the same as any other person's. It will be different, will look different, will fall into place differently, and the outcomes will be different.  Here is your permission to stop the scroll if social media is your poison.  Open your bible, and see what God say's is true about you. Seek Him and His attributes. What's true about God? He is faithful. He is your provider. He is your guide. He has CHOSEN you! He loves you. You are under His wings. It doesn't matter how you compare to anyone else BECAUSE YOU ARE HIS!  Can I get a yes and amen?!  I pray this episode blesses you, XOXO-Beth  If you need help focusing on Christ and finding help with who He says you are,  schedule your 60 minute 1:1 coaching call today, I can't wait to chat...

As entrepreneurs we are typically systemized, planned, and strategize everything to death. It's not always easy to go with the flow and do things spirit led when you are in a strategy mindset. We can seek inspiration from scripture and lean into biblical encouragement when it comes to implementing faith into our small business or side hustle, but paying attention to the Holy Spirit is key! I hope you enjoy this episode as I chat about how to effortlessly infuse faith into your business!   Don't forget to schedule your 60 minute 1:1 coaching call today, I can't wait to chat...

In the hustle of entrepreneurship and the noise of social media, email marketing, content creation, business systems, and time management it's normal to feel like you cannot hear God's voice. Are you praying for guidance and direction but feel like He is silent? It may seem that way but He is always speaking, and there is a way to get direction for that next one step you need to take in your business and life. I had an ah-hah moment with Him this week and it became so clear to me, in the midst of my constant pursuit of clarity.... It's not easy being a Christian entrepreneur even when we know God is in our corner so I hope this episode is some Biblical Encouragement for when you need it most!  I pray this episode blessed you!

Sometimes when we don't hear God's voice it is easy to feel stuck and overwhelmed. Do we act? Do we wait to have more clarity? What if we make the wrong move? What if we make a mistake? We don't always get to know.  A great way to hear God's voice if you feel stuck is to get off social media, stop texting your friends for advice, and open your bible, get quiet, and pray.  And sometimes waiting IS the action.  There is no perfect blue print, and every circumstance will play out differently. But we cannot stay stuck.  As long as you have a heart to be God's faithful servent, He will work it out, even if you make a mistake. Just don't stay stuck. Trust the process, trust in Him.  Hope you enjoy this episode! You can email me your prayer requests anytime, XOXO -Beth  EMAIL ME HERE - bnygard@revivalbsls.com 

Hey friend this is a super casual episdoe I wanted to post in more of a "real life" setting, hope you enjoy this casual conversation about the true life of entrepreneurship, the pitfalls, the lessons, the biblical encouragements we get from God, hearing God's voice when we are forced to rest, and the frustrations of backliding back into those old habits that die hard.  XOXO, Beth  P.S. this week taught me the importance of batching content so I can stay up on email marketing, social media engagement, and podcast production when I am sick and having a mental breakdown at the same time LOL!  Please send me your prayer requests to bnygard@revivalbsls.com 

This a quick episode and prayer to cover you and your business. We can have all the email funnels, social media strategies, time management systems, and business plans but ultimately, prayer is really the number one essential tool for running our business. How blessed are we to have God's True Word, and Jesus Himself, as a guide for our journey as Christian entrepreneurs? I pray this biblical encouragement blesses you friend!  XOXO, Beth    P.S. would you love some mentorship through entrepreneurship? Are you wanting to slow down and seek God first in your business?

Do you feel like you get stuck when it comes to making decisions? If you want to seek God first in your business but struggle to hear His voice or discern His plans, that's a normal thing. An entry in my current devotional -  My Upmost for His Highest - by Oswald Chambers, is the inspso for this episode. Chambers had an outlook on seeing things clearly in our minds and of course, my brain went to how we apply this in entrepreneurship. If you're ready to find clarity in your business decisions you will love this episode!  I can't even say how many times I have run ahead of God and made bad decisions, but I also can't even say how many times I've sat stuck and unmoving to make a decision because I was waiting for total clarity.  Like Matthew 11:25 reminds us- think like a child, rely on Him. the term “sheep” has a negative stigma as does the word “obey.” But be humble, and if you believe that God has your best interest at heart and that you cannot fail with him, why wouldn't you surrender it all and follow Him?  Enjoy!

I am seeing too many Christian entrepreneurs look to their personality test and human design to  guide them in their business decsions. This is dangerous territory my friend. I am not saying there isn't phsychology behind our personalities and personality type groupings but ulitimately, looking to that instead of looking to your shephard is idolitry. And Human design, it is 100% counterfiet to God's Truth. You are HIS design. You are made in His image. Where the stars were the moment you were born in the place you were born in has nothing to do with who you are or your future. There, I said it. #sorry not sorry.  Don't forget who leads you, XOXO, Beth    Connect with me @revivalbco on Instagram Email me at bnygard@revivalbsls.com  BOOK YOUR MENTORSHIP CALL TODAY at www.revivalb.co Join our community of burnt-out Christian entrepreneurs who desire to seek God in their business Seeking Over Striving-Following Jesus For Burnt Out Christian Entrepreneurs | Facebook  

If you're husting and constantly trying to beat the algorithm have you ever stopped and asked yourself “why?” I'm not saying it doesn't work for you but let's deep dive into the “why” behind the struggle and pressure behind keeping up with social media and how it applies to your business and life. Is the stress worth it? Better question, is God calling you to be there, on social media? If you need to be on social that's fine, but how does it sit with you? Are you stressed out to the max? Does social media align with you and your business? Just questions to ask yourself.

As an entrepreneur, the whole point of having a business is to make money and be successful, correct? As a Christian, we also know that choosing God's will is our ultimate purpose in life, so how do we do both? What if God calls you do to something that isn't going to be successful by the world's standards? What if the business He calls you to, or asks you to pivot into, isn't going to generate six-figures? Do we bag it? Or follow Him?  When we are super focused on email marketing strategies, content creation to grow a social media following, hustling for financial freedom, and all the things on our vision board we end up burnt out, when what we really want is peace. The continuous pursuit of success and happiness by the world's standards will not deliver satisfaction like it promises.  I pray this episode gives you biblical encouragement as you journey through life as a Christian entrepreneur. I also pray that you lean on God's grace to overcome the burnout and frustration you feel as you try to build a successful business.  P.S.

In this episode we'll chat about financial security. Is it REALLY security, or a false sense of security? Do you get nervous when you don't know the entire blueprint, then start controlling or over planning? Are you afraid to take the risk when God calls you to act on something without showing you the end game? Let's renew our money mindset and sense of security in Christ not wealth, and a new perspective on financial freedom and peace in trusting in God's provision. Let's break free from the online business side hustles and the obsessive social media strategies.  I was watching a webinar the other day and the speaker said, "Risk taking is not reckless, but a joy in walking faith". It made me think of another time I heard a christian financial advisor say that wealthy people don't take risks. It made sense at the time, but I can't help but look at all the stories in the bible and see that these people all did "risky" things!   The bible teaches us that we have peace when we are walking in the spirit. But have you ever really thought about how to have peace when walking into the lion's den? Or when you're stepping out of the boat? Or when you leave everything you know behind and blindly move into the unknown? So what we do as entrepreneurs when God calls us to a risk that doesn't make financial sense? I pray this show blesses you!

Is your nevrous system stuck in fight or flight mode? Are you constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop? When we are waiting for the bad thing to happen, we are tricking ourselves into thinking that we can predict the future.  Only God is sovereign. We do not hold the power to predict the future so why do we try to? As a Christian entrepreneur is is easy to get bogged down by the stresses of the looming economy, election year, the housing market, and how our clients' spending habits ebb and flow through all that.  Or maybe you have stress in your personal life, and waiting for the other shoe to drop is keeping you overwhelmed, anxious, and distracted. As we know, this also effects how we run our business, how we are present with our familiy, and again, the trauma response of our nervous system that needs to be healed already. I pray this episode is biblical encouragement to help you remember who God is, and that he is the ultimate power over your circumstances. Things will not always be perfect and I am not saying (and God doesn't promise this) that nothing bad will happen, but we need to stop living in expectancy of it and start living in the expectancy of God's promises.  I would love to know God showed up for you as you listened to this episode today!

Have you tried manifesting? Do you have a vision board in place? Have things worked out the way you have wanted them to? Or do you feel like not matter what you manifest, it doesnt matter.  If you don't believe in manifesting, do you feel like you are stuck in certain thought patterns? Do you think you are just wired a certain way and you cannot change how you think or feel about things?  Scriputre tells us that the Holy Spirit's power gives us the power to renew our minds and change our attitudes. Let me clarify that this isn't OUR power, like New Age manifesting tells us, but that is via the power of the Holy Spirit that enable us to change our minds.  Everything is rooted in Truth. And the truth is, if we stay stuck in a negative mindset, our circumstances and thoughts will stay that way. But we can renew our mind and focus on what is good and His Truth, getting us unstuck and able to move forward with a new attitude to do His will. It doen't mean everything will be perfect and that our dream board goals will for sure be filled.... but it does mean a spirit filled mindset, that will turn into Truth focused thoughts, that will turn into our Truth filled words, and that will turn into out Truth filled actions.  I pray this episode blesses you, please come hang out with us in our private community on Facebook -Making Money With God- for fellowship, encouragement, and accountability. Can't wait to see you there! 

Please open your Bible and follow along with me (if you're able) for scripture encouragment! Ephesians 6:10-20 talks about the armor of God, and in this episode I will talk about it how we can use it against the stress of entrepreneurship.  Today's stressors, social media pressures, burnout, economic uncertainties, and the constant hustle to make more money, seem to never end.  The devil knows exactly when and where we are vulnerable, whether it's in the peak of financal stress, neverending to do list overwhelm, imposter sydrome, the hustle to meet a deadline or scale your business, and unhappy client, or mom guilt because you can't be present with your family.  Whatever pressure you are feeling today friend, God's got you. He cares for you and has equipped you with His power of the Holy Spirit.  Do not worry. Do not fear. Stop manifesting. Stop trying to control everything. Stop trying to do everything in your own strength. You have the armor or God dear sister, so stand firm and fight the good fight!

Today we are talking about identity. Where is yours rooted? Your business? Wealth? Success? Material things? Your kids? Your social media following? Or is it rooted in Christ? If you would've asked me I would have said of course it's rooted in being the daughter of the King…but my perception of my loyalty was greatly skewed and God had to knock me off my high horse. What do you think of your identity?   I remember when I realized my identity was rooted in my business and success. . It was a painful blow and a very hard lesson I had to learn, I made a huge mistake at work and I was humbled real quick. Taking such a prideful hit made me realize where my identity lied, and it wasn't in Christ… and a surprising thing happened. Once I rooted my identity in Christ, I stopped caring so much about wealth and I was able to start my hustle rehab.  This episode is full of biblical truth and scripture encouragement to renew your mindset and get your heart realigned with God.

Are you at a breaking point where you want to throw in the towel and quit your job? Do you feel overwhelmed, out of alignment, and trapped in what you're doing in your calling?  I have felt this way too many times and God showed me loud and clear it's a result of me NOT obeying His commands 100%. I had subconciously tried to compromise and manipulate the situation with what I thought I new best.  That NEVER works. Instead of quitting, I decided to make a change no matter how flakey it may make me appear to others. Do you avoid obeying God cause it may not make sense to the outside world? That's a sure fire way to waste our time and energy. A hard lesson that took me way too long to learn, so I hope this epidsode encourages you and keeps you from making the same mistake!  Pop into the FREE private FB group -Making Money With God- and let me know if this episode blessed you, I'll see you there!

In a world where social media seems like a matrix of fake perfection, how do we know if and when we should post the downfalls of entrepreneurship?  Do you look at everyone else's accounts and think they have it all figured out? Does it leave you feeling like you are a failure? Does the perfection we see on social make you feel like you can't get your shit together?  Social is typically not a real representation of day-to-day business. We often don't post our hustle, our scramble to make more money, the financial stress, the anxiety of not being "good enough," the unhappy customers, or the stuggles with time management (just to name a few...).  Being honest, real, and vulnerable through entrepreneurship is necessary to help build the community, but we also don't want to be a wet blanket all the time.So what do we post? How much of the "real" do we post when it  seems negative not uplifting? The secret is here in this episode!  I pray this episode blesses you and gives you the courage to be vulnerable in a social world of "perfection!"  XOXO, Beth    P.S. we'd love to have you in our FREE private Facebook group!

Are you feeling stuck? Is fear, doubt, and the the unknown keeping you from making necessary moves to step into your God-given purpose? Do you need to have all the answers infront of you before taking action? What are you gripping tight to that is keeping you from what God wants to give you?  In this episode I talk about the pain of letting go and sacrificing the things we are comfortable with in able to move forward with what God has for us. And of course, moving forward with God is often one step at a time, where we don't get to see the entire blueprint at once. Trusting God isn't always easy, even when we know it's what's best.  If you are used to trusting in your own plan vs. trusting in God's provision, I pray this episode lights your fire with biblical encouragement and honest conversation.  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11  God's plans for you are PROSPERITY, CARE, HOPE, and a FUTURE!  Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12 When you doubt, pray in His name and He will LISTEN to you!  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 12:13 Do a heart audit. Is it aligned with God and what He wants for you? If not, ask Him to show you what needs to change. If yes, SEEK HIM!

This episode is fresh from me returning from our mission trip to the Dominican Republic! There are so many things God showed me there that I get to share with you! One major thing was the importance of making money and it's role in making a kingdom impact. It's true that we don't want to idolize money, but it is also true that it is a necessary tool for certain aspects of service and stewardship.  I talk about how I didn't realize that I needed an attitude adjustment when it came to money, and that I was letting limiting beliefs subconciously keep me stuck.  If God has called you into entrepreneurship then He has called for you to do something audacious. It's time to stop being stuck, stop worrying about being a slave to hustle or idolizing money. God has your business for you to make an impact for His glory so let's make it happen!  P.S if you are looking for a group of women in entrepreneurship who want to ditch #bossbabe culture and trust in God's provision we'd love to have you in our community!  JOIN MY FREE PRIVATE FB GROUP HERE!

I'm cool with vision boards and dreaming about the "perfect forever home," but our minds should always be laser focused on dwelling in the house of the Lord forever.  Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6 NIV This is such a beautiful end to this chapter and I love that it's where we get to send our Psalm series on this podcast.  Not only does God pursue us every day, but we will be with Him forever. That is what we need to remember. When it comes to keeping our eye on the prize it's not about dream houses, huge portfolios, and early retirements on the beach. Eternity with God is the ultimate win and guess what, YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN IT! whoop whoop!  So you can relax my friend. Stop striving. Let go of control. Cease hustling your way to the top. You've already made it. Step into the calling God has for you, work with integrity, truth, and excellence, and humbly follow Him to the promised land He has for you.   I pray this episode blesses you!

What is your go-to when it comes to restoring your soul? Or what is your go-to when you're stressed, overwhelmed, not feeling good enough, or afraid? Do you strive to make more money? Do you try to control (which is sneaky self-sovereignty!) every detail in your business? Do you think stuff will make you feel better? Food? Alcohol? Vacation?  Nothing on earth witll satisfy you like God, the Spirit and Jesus will. The things we reach for are fleeting but His satisfaction is unfailing.  In this episode I will also talk about paths of righteousness vs. paths of the world and working for His name's sake vs. our own. We can slow down, find purpose, and glorify God in our calling as entrepreneurs. The path looks different for each of us, but I pray this biblical encouragement from Psalm 23 blesses you and sparks your Spirit.    XOXO, Beth 

Are you striving for more money to feel secure, safe, and comfortable? Do you think you will rest when -fill in the blank- is done? Do you find yourself saying 'as soon as I am done with this thing I will feel better'? Or, 'as soon as I have this much in my bank account saved I won't worry about money'? Or, 'if I could just make money quickly right now I will get ahead and then be less stressed'? Whatever your questions are, they are sneaky limiting beliefs.  The satisfaction, security, and comfort you seek is not in the bank. The only way you will find rest is in Christ and surrendering all to Him. This is what we will talk about in today's episode. It is all about looking to your shepherd, believing and trusting that He will lead you to rest, and then actually letting go and following Him.  Would you love to join a group of female entrepreneurs who want to ditch the self-sufficient #bossbabe culture and follow Christ?

Welcome to Seeking Overstriving. Do you constantly think about how to make more money? Are you uncontent and always searching for more? Do you know you need to slow down and see God in your business, but don't? Hey, I'm Beth, and I too was a Christian entrepreneur trapped in the cycle of boss babe culture. Like you, I felt the pressure of six figures, lived on social media, and hit burnout. I told myself there was no way to have a successful business without idolizing wealth and constant hustle, and then God showed me the truth. I needed to leave behind the way I'd been doing things and just follow him. In this podcast, you will learn how to build your faith, see God in your business, and renew your mindset. So dust off that Bible girl and let's dive in. Hey, did you know that I have a private Facebook group for women just like you? Burnt out Christian entrepreneurs who want to find peace and fully trust in God's provision instead of striving their way to success. I know how hard this is and I wanted to create a community of women who knew just how you feel. So join my private Facebook group, Making Money With God at bit.ly/makingmoneywithgod.com. And I will see you there. I feel like as an entrepreneur, your identity is such an easy thing to get hijacked. We are so wrapped up in what we're doing, our business, how to make it profitable, successful, fruitful. You know, we're going to always try to work with excellence and integrity and all the things. But as an entrepreneur, I feel like losing our identity in our work is such a pitfall. It's definitely something that's happened to me. And it's something that I really never thought of until probably about the last year or so. And I had to take a really good look at where my identity lied. And if anyone would have asked me, I would have been like, of course, my identity is in Christ. I mean, of course, I'm a woman of God. And that's the most important thing. But that wasn't like reflected in my life at all. Identity in Christ is what we really should be rooted in all the time. And we can easily get hijacked into thinking that we are just rooted in our business. Identity in Christ is really who we are, what we're about, what our fruits are, the fruitfulness of our lives that flow through our business, too, and who we really believe that we are. And I think when we are really riding on the success of our business as being part of our identity, that can be really volatile. And that's where we just really get into that self-sovereign space too, like I talked about in the last episode. When I started my business 20 years ago, I really was like the, there was myself and a couple other estheticians. Aesthetics was a really small piece. You know, there were tons of hairdressers and massage therapists, but there weren't a lot of estheticians in the town that I was in. There were like three of us. And then it grew maybe a little bit. There was a couple other people that filtered into the town. And then I worked at like a day spa and it was kind of like, Like it was really the only day spa in town and it, you know, had a really good reputation and we were really successful and popular there and all the things and it was great. And even after that kind of fizzled out and we all moved into different directions, my business stayed very successful and popular and I had a good reputation. And there again were some more estheticians that had filtered into town, but it wasn't a huge industry in our place locally. And then I would say maybe a year and a half ago, there a lot changed in the industry. I would call it a year and a half ago, like some medical spas opened, another like very big, very successful aesthetic studio moved in right down the street from me. And then it seemed like there was just this flood of estheticians that graduated. I think through COVID too, people got out of that like nine to five lifestyle and they, you know, kind of like threw themselves into entrepreneurship and doing things that they loved rather than just like the typical nine to five job or whatever. And that's good. I mean, all that's good stuff. But there were suddenly this huge flood of estheticians that were graduating local schools and came into town. So it really wasn't just me and a couple of like pockets of other people. It was some really major, huge, successful, shiny, new, fancy businesses opened. And I freaked out, to be honest. I mean, I don't think that I've actually even shared this with anybody. Maybe I'm sure I have. I really freaked out. It really freaked me out. And I got really afraid. And I was like, oh, no, Now I'm this old shoe and now there's all these new fancy places. And I really felt like I had to keep up with all of them. Like, I made some really stupid decisions. I made some really, really stupid financial decisions, investing in things, trying to keep up with the Joneses of these other businesses. And I'm telling you, I'm paying the consequences. It's not cool. But it was all out of fear. It was like my identity was so wrapped up in my job and my reputation and my business name that when other things came in, I felt so threatened and so afraid. And it was gross. It was a gross feeling. I did not want want to feel like that and it dissipated over time and eventually like I worked through it with God and and after a while I actually felt really grateful for these other businesses I mean it was great to have places to refer clients to for services that I didn't offer it was great that these industries were thriving in our town instead of people having to go out of town for these services it was just great for our community and our local economy and the industry of aesthetics as a whole. It was great. And I still feel that it was I'm so grateful that they're around. But at the beginning, I was totally freaked out and super territorial and afraid and threatened and crazy. And that was all because my identity was rooted in my work. And if my identity had not been there, I would have just felt nothing but gratitude and excitement for these businesses from the beginning. I would not have made really costly mistakes out of fear. I would not be paying those consequences now and it would have just played out differently my identity had been rooted in Christ I would have felt so secure that is the only way you are ever going to feel secure is when your identity is rooted in Christ because he is the firm foundation the only foundation and you're only sense of security ever. Nothing else. He is the only constant, forever, eternal, unchanging security and foundation that you will ever have. And that's why our identity needs to be rooted in that, not our business. Because our business will change. Competitors will come in. I'm just saying if my identity had been rooted in Christ, I wouldn't have freaked out and made a bunch of bad decisions. And honestly, it's really selfish and really self-centered and really prideful. And none of those things are the heart of the woman of God. None of those things are at the root of who I really was or who you really are. But through this journey of entrepreneurship, it's just so easy to get sucked into our identity being in our business. Because let's face it, we do put in so much like our blood, sweat and tears and time and we sacrifice so much to make our entrepreneurial life happen. And that's okay. Those are all good things. But we just need to step back and constantly remember where the root of our identity is, and that is in God himself, not our business.     Join my private FB group here!  https://bit.ly/makingmoneywithgod
