The Faith Filled Entrepreneur

Welcome back to The Faith Filled Entrepreneur! This week, I want bring you some encouragement based Deuteronomy 1:31 and Jeremiah 29:11 that you are in the exact place that God has brought you to right now, and He has your future all planned out for His purpose- so if you are feeling stuck or frustrated or discouraged or anxious, this episode is going to be for you.  Equipped Monday Devotionalswww.thefaithfilledentrepreneur.com

On the last episode, we dove into what spiritual warfare is, how Satan uses it, and what it looks like in our everyday lives. If you didn't have a chance to listen to Episode 111, I'd recommend hopping back to that one, because today we are going to talk about our tangible weapons to use against Satan and his strategies. We are going to continue our reading in Ephesians 6...https://thefaithfilledentrepreneur.com

In this episode, we dive into the very real battle with the enemy. I can't help but think that so many problems in our society today - even problems that we've normalized are actually strategies of the devil - and just like in my language example, if we fought those problems with spiritual weapons, we'd have a lot better shot than we do when we try to fight them with earthly weapons.So let's talk about these strategies. We know that Satan is the Father of Lies - so his number 1 strategy is to lie to you. What does he lie to you about.Who God is.Who you are to God.Who you are as a person.Show links:www.thefaithfilledentrepreneur.comPrepared for Breakthrough 

In this episode, we are using the story of Jesus and Peter in the boat in Luke 5. Jesus tells Peter to go back out, and Peter catches so many fish he has to call his friends to come help. But that wasn't the end of the story- the goal wasn't a successful fishing trip, it was to test Peter's obedience, show Jesus' power, and call Peter to be his disciple.We may be praying for more fish, but we can't become so focused on the fish that we miss the bigger the purpose!Why would you want more responsibility? Let me give you a few reasons - You were created for a purpose. Therefore, if you are not operating fully in that purpose, although you may be comfortable, you will not have a peacefulness in your soul. Because God will continue to pursue.You were given spiritual gifts to have an impact on the Kingdom. You have the ability to help, guide, and even show the love of Jesus to someone. You can bring the hope of Christ through your giving, your love, your availability - you have no idea the impact you can have on this world when you are open to Christ using you in a powerful way.We have the amazing privilege of receiving our inheritance through Christ, through nothing we can do on our own except believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior. That is amazing. And God gives good gifts to his children because of his unconditional love. However, we know that obedience pleases God. We also know that jesus said, “If you love me, obey my commands” John 14:15In Hebrews 11:6 - “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”It's your choice, friend. I will say this - I feel very strongly that revival is coming, and that the revival fire will be heavily flamed by business. Where we put our money and our influence matters. Who we help, how we serve, what we say - it all matters to the Kingdom and it matters as to how God will use us for bigger things.

"To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance." Matthew 25:29In our Prepared for Breakthrough mini-course, we are looking at 4 ways we need to prepare for God to work out a breakthrough in our lives, and this is step 2! We have to be faithful in a little! Jesus talks about this principle really clearly in Matthew 25. What "little" thing is God asking you to do? Are you so focused on the "big" that you are missing ways to be faithful today?Show Links"FREE - 31 Days of Powerful PrayersEquipped Digital Library (Prepared for Breakthrough is found here!)

How do you feel when you are being pulled into something brand new? Maybe you need to create a digital course. Maybe you need to start a podcast. Maybe you need to write a book - and the overall tasks seem daunting. How do you respond?How do you respond when you try something and you don't get the outcome you want? You work hard and no one buys your course.  You start a podcast and get very few listeners. You put yourself out there on social media and don't get responses? How do you handle these situations?How do you handle unexpected problems? You're doing a webinar and you have technical difficulties. You create a funnel and your links don't work. You trying to do a podcast and your audio won't upload. Having the right Biblical mindset, founded on your faith and belief of who God is (and not on your own skills) is CRUCIAL to surviving (and thriving) as a Faith Filled Entrepreneur.Show links:EQUIPPED!

Fasting is all about a closeness with God. Unpopular opinion - I don't think fasting is optional - now I'm not talking about salvation. But when you look at how Jesus talks about fasting, he puts “prayer and fasting” together many times. And when he's preaching about it, he starts by saying, “when you fast” not - if you decide to fast. In the same phrasing as “when you pray” he says “When you fast, fast like this - come ya hair” and even better - when you fast and you fast with pure motives and not for the sake of people looking at you and patting you on the back, the Father rewards that - so although it's a sacrifice, why would we not want to fast?So while there are several reasons that people fasted in the Bible, I want to hone in on 4 of them. 1. To prepare their hearts for ministry or mission - 2. To ask God for wisdom. 3. To ask God for protection or victory- 4. To worship God Show Links:Prepared for BreakthroughEquipped Digital Course Library (includes Prepared for Breakthrough)Monday Devotions (Free)

Happy New Year! I always love the start of a new year.It just feels like a tangible time to reflect and change and get excited about something new. Coming to the present, towards the end of 2023, God started dripping a word in my mind again. My word for this year is VISION - and not just any vision, but a Holy Spirit led vision. God is calling me to stay the course - after a lot of molding and redefining my businesses, I'm finally getting some bigger picture clarity and not just the “just trust me - take this next step blindly in faith” clarity that defined 2023.Here are 7 ways to get a Holy Spirit led vision.Commit your business to the Lord.Live righteouslyAsk for wisdom.Give space for God to answer.Be faithful to take steps of obedience, even in difficultyBe faithful in the waiting.Rinse and repeat.Resources:Waiting With Purpose - Free!31 Days of Powerful Prayers - Free!IG - @thefaithfilledentrepreneur

Surrender - My 2023 FocusLast year was the first year that I actually had a word, or focus for the year. That is not a practice that I've ever really done in the past. And last year, I wasn't intentionally looking for a word per say. I was in a time of fasting and praying with my church in January of 2023, and clear as day, the word “Surrender” played over and over in my mind. I knew without a doubt that my focus for 2023 would be to surrender, in obedience to whatever God had for me.That embarked quite an adventure this year. And I want to be fully transparent on this episode, this has been the hardest year of my entrepreneurial journey since I started 5 years ago. Harder than my first year. Harder even than 2020. God continued to be faithful and prepare and equip me for next steps. No matter where you are in your journey - God's got you. He's guiding you, and every step has a purpose.Want more guidance as a Faith Filled Entrepreneur?Follow us on IG @thefaithfilledentrepreneurGrab your free Evaluate 2023 to Elevate 2024 GuideGrab your free 21 Days to a Faith Led Business Prayer and Devotional GuidePurchase Fight Fear with Faith and be Elevated by God: A Study of Esther

We know that waiting is all part of the journey. For entrepreneurs, we can probably all agree that its up there on the list for our least favorite parts of the journey. You know God has called you a particular direction. You've taken that step of obedience and faith. You've taken the risk. You've started the business, or created the product, or sent the uncomfortable emails and text messages…you've been brave and walked out on the ledge…and now you're still out there just sitting on the ledge. Or maybe that's what it feels like. And it's scary. And you're maybe a little confused because you're starting to question if you heard God correctly. Maybe you even feel a little like a failure or a fool. Your family or your friends have seen you step out on this limb in faith…and now you're waiting.Let's get some Biblical encouragement and truth in this journey!Download your free resource: Waiting with Purpose and get Bible verses and Biblical examples of people who waited well, and were blessed!

Confusion is a weapon of the enemy to stop us from moving forward with the Kingdom Purpose God has given us! So how do we combat confusion:Recognize it - God is not a God of confusion (unless you are the enemy - which you are not), so if confusion is settling in, you need to recognize it, and you need to take a step back.Get in the WORD. The Bible is enough, but I also want to encourage you to use commentaries and Biblically sound Bible studies to help you dive in. As a warning, in Acts 17, as Paul preaches to the people in Berea, verse 11 says, “They searched the scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. As a result, many Jews believed, as did many of the prominent Greek women and men.) Make sure you are not taking teachings at face value without digging into the Word yourself.Connect to the Holy Spirit. If you have put your faith in Christ, you have the Holy Spirit. He is guiding, correcting, teaching and encouraging you along the way. You still have to open to his teaching and living a life of obedience and expectation to be able to hear that guidance. I will put some books that I have learned from in the show notes if you are looking to dive deeper.Pray - James 1:5 says, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God and He will give it to you.” Psalm 37:23 says, “The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Spend time with God and give him space to sort out your confusion.Sisters, listen - if you are confused, please don't stay still. Actively connect with the giver of direction and peace. Because confusion will only keep you from moving fully into your purpose and having the Kingdom Impact that God called you to have. We don't have time for that.Resources I love:Jen Hatmaker: The Modern Girl's Guide to Bible Study (I don't agree with Jen Hatmaker's later beliefs about Christianity, but this is an excellent guide to learning how to read the Bible).David Paul Washer: Studying the Holy Scriptures Jeannie Cunnion: Don't Miss Out: Daring to Believe Life is Better with the Holy SpiritYou can also  get our free bible study guide: Why We Need It and How We Read It- Just click here!EQUIPPED Monthly Membership is open!

You place your hand of blessing on my head.”The second one is Deuteronomy 1:29-33. “But I said to you, ‘Don't be shocked or afraid (of them)! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do (in Eqypt). And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way (as you traveled through the wilderness), just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place. But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God, who goes before you (looking for the best places to camp) guiding you with a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day.Now I now that one was long, and I want to read it again as I wrote it down for me - again, we never add or takeaway from the Bible, and we know that Deuteronomy is talking about the Israelites, but God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, right?“But I said to you, ‘Don't be shocked or afraid (of the unknown)! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do (in your other businesses). And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way (as you've walked through other unknowns), just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place. But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God, who goes before you, guiding you with the Holy Spirit every step of the way.The part of this verse that went through my head over and over and over again - and as I said, still is - is Now he has brought you to this place…and after all you have seen him do, why would you not trust him now?So what place has God brought you to? Does he want you to start something? Does he want you to walk away from something? And do you truly believe that if he has brought you to this place, he will provide abundantly out of his riches? If worry is creeping in, defeat it with truth friend, and take that step forward in faith. See you on Instagram!Download 21 Days to a Faith Led Business!

The day this podcast is released will be Father's Day. I know there can be a plethora of emotions that that come through. I was blessed to be raised by my biological dad and my step dad, both men I called dad, and both walked me down the aisle my first message. My biological dad died suddenly one month before my wedding to Chris, so that, as you can imagine, was a super difficult time, and I still miss him every day. Sometimes, our view of God as our Heavenly father can be skewed by our past experiences with our earthly father. Today, I want to just give you a few reminders of your Heavenly father's love for you, and the truth that he is a good, good father.In this episode, we discuss 4 characteristics of God, backed up by scripture. Here are the scriptures:God is relational:Psalm 139:16Psalm 139:17 Isaiah 43:1-4He is a God of provision and direction:Psalm 37:23-24 Psalm 36:8-9Psalm 34:8-10Matthew 6:31-33Psalm 37:34He is a God of Love:Psalm 138:7-8Ephesian 3:16-19He is a protector:Deuteronomy 1:29-33Psalm 62:5-6And bottom line, friend - as Psalm 56:9 tells us - This I know!

Ok, so you're ready to be available to God. You know His way his better. You tell him that you're open, and then he starts moving you in a direction that does not make sense. Maybe he's asking you to do something that seems way out of your financial means. Maybe he's moving you in a job or a business that you do not feel equipped for. Maybe he has put a burden on your heart and you don't know why. Maybe you feel like he's taking you in a totally different direction than your degree or even a passion you initially felt.Enter Joshua. Joshua was a skilled military leader, but that's not why God used him in such mighty ways. Joshua was also fully surrendered to the Lord, even when the directions didn't make sense.As a podcast listener, for this week only, you can still get the pre-order price of the Fight Fear with Faith Bible Study Bundle!

 Do you ever feel like there are sins in your past that may stop God from being able to use you. Do you feel shame or like it's “too much” to be redeemed. Stepping into a place of Bible teaching, Satan has thrown those lies at me often. Maybe this is why I love the story of Rahab so much. While Rahab was still a prostitute, God started preparing her heart and the circumstances around her to be used in a mighty mighty way. She's even mentioned in James as one who was counted righteous because of her actions. I mean, out of all the people the brother of Jesus could've named…God shows up in so many ways in Rahab's story:1. The location of her home2. The direction of the spies3. Her occupation as a distractor4. The season5. Her softened heart towards GodAnd what God does through her is incredible!

We are still hanging out in Leviticus 26! God gives us a list of amazing promises, but in this episode, we want to take some time and look at where our responsibility lies...“Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the Lord your God. You must keep my Sabbath days of rest and show reverence to my sanctuary. I am the LORD. If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you the seasonal rains…” Leviticus 26:1-3So lets go through 4 responsibilities that we have in order to receive the promises of God listed out in the rest of the chapter.Do not make idolsKeep the Sabbath day of restShow reverence in my sanctuaryFollow decrees and obey commandsClick here to download your FREE wallpaper of Leviticus 26!Head to www.thefaithfilledentrepreneur.com to check out what's coming soon in our store!Follow us @thefaithfilledentrepreneur - Instagram and YouTube!

Who caused the trees to produce their fruit? God!There is overlap - abundance. Although God is obviously straightforward in his expectations that his people rest, he also promised enough harvest (work and blessing all mixed together) to overlap throughout the seasons. In fact, in verse 10, he says, “You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest.The people have their needs met and live in security. - Right now, if you have food on your table or in your fridge or in your pantry and you have a safe place to live, I want you to stop and give thanks to God. Check us out on IG and YouTube @thefaithfilledentreprenuer!Special Announcement!

Friend, if Jesus is your cornerstone, take heart. Your building will not crumble.

If you are a faith filled entrepreneur, then there is a really good chance that God is going to call you out of your comfort zone, out of what you know. So if you are waiting on confidence in yourself to try or start something new, how the heck are you ever going to start? How can we rely on our own confidence, that really only comes with doing something over and over again, if God is calling us into new and bigger and better things?The answer - we can't!Our confidence is in the Lord and our faith that if he has called us, he'll never leave us!Also, follow us on YouTube @thefaithfilledentrepreneur and check out our 4 part series on Why We Need and How We Read It to help you get into the Word!

"In the times where I haven't chosen to be obedient, God has still been faithful. Did I get the full measure of the blessing? Maybe not, because I wasn't actively pursuing obedience, but He's still faithful.

The devil doesn't need to destroy you, he just needs to distract you. Distractions come in many forms, but one of the most eye opening realizations that I have had in my own life is that I am most distracted by “good” things!In Luke 10:38-42, we see the super familiar story of the time that Jesus goes and visits Mary and Martha. But the Lord has recently convicted me, for lack of better word, not for the work I'm doing - that is his purpose for me, but for where my heart is and what I'm chasing. I've found myself distracted from keeping my eyes on God because I've been so uber focused on the work. Martha was doing a good thing, but the Lord knew her heart probably wasn't focused on doing the work in worship... Matthew 6:33 says “Seek the Kingdom of God, above all else, live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” Here are some of the “good things” in entrepreneurship that become distractions:Personal and financial goals and expectationsInfluencers and coaches and the FOMO they createSocial Mediatly for us since 2018 when I started my business, even through COVID. We didn't hit all of the “financial goals” that I randomly threw out there in my head, but we've never gone without, we've always been able to provide experiences and activities for our kid, and the business has stayed afloat. And never once has the provision come from the way I thought it would. WHen we get so focused on a goal that we've created, we often miss all of the ways that God is working around us, because we're distracted.Ok, #2, and this is a big one. I'm going to say this loudly - every entrepreneur needs a coach. I feel very strongly about this. You need someone to help you think outside the box sometimes. You  need someone to help you move out of your comfort zone. You need someone to give you new ideas that you can take and adapt and make them work for you! I believe also that God divinely appoints these people - you have a prompting and then someone is recommended to you for example. Friends, I'm challenging you to be available to what the Lord is doing. Remove the distractions that limit you.A verse that I have had memorized since I was in middle school is “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4As the Lord has been working on my to let go of the distraction of focusing on “good things” rather than on the leading of the Holy Spirit, I've really leaned into this verse. What does it mean to delight myself in the Lord. It means enjoying his presence. Looking for his goodness. Praising him for his holiness. Reading and learning about his character. SPending time quietly with him. I believe delighting ourselves in him is the antidote for letting distractions limit what he can do in our life.For more information on coaching and resources visit www.thefaithfilledentrepreneur.com or jennkleiber.com/coaching

Listen to what they are saying.If you already have a community, send some individual messages to people who engage with your content and ask them specific questions.Send out questions on your email lists.Serve - “But among you, it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:26-28. I've read this story several times, but the first thing Jesus said here jumped out at me more than ever this time - but among you, it will be different. Yall, could this be more true? We have to be different, and one of the biggest ways to do this is serve those we have the privilege of serving instead placing ourselves above them. Logistically, (you know I'm a logistics person), what does this look like?First of all, it starts in your mind and heart - do you feel honored and humbled that they chose to work with you, or do you feel like, “You're a hot mess and you're lucky you found me”? Second - how will you respond in conflict. While boundaries are good and necessary, is Jesus happy with the way you give value and support to the people he gave you, or do you cut corners and do the bare minimum?Lastly, and this is outside of your customers, are you using your freedom and finances as an entrepreneur to serve your community, church body and neighbors? Blessings and refreshment come from doing this.Be generous - prov 11:24, 25 “Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper, those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”  Friends, we are called to be generous with our funds, generous with our time and generous with our knowledge. This generous spirit also falls in line with the abundance mindset, which is so needed for growth. Logistically, what does this look like?Tithe. Period.Serve or volunteer - God created the time, and he knows how many hours are in a day. If he tells us to serve others, which he does, he will bless that time.Give generously of your knowledge - ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom on what to share freely - create free lead magnets that give great value. Create low-ticket items that give value. Be prepared when you have coaching sessions. Let's talk about what it is not - Being available 24 hours a day.Placing discounts on everything.God has given you a business, so it's okay and good to run your business, but how can you infuse generosity in there?

Principle of the "Sames" - Practicing Consistency to Get BreakthroughFrom the spiritual perspective. Your spiritual health will come from daily habits of living Biblically. So, friend, are you wanting to “get closer to God” this year? To read your Bible more? To pray more? To “build your relationship with Him?” That's fantastic. That's what He wants too. But what does that look like? What daily “sames” are you going to put into your life and do daily - without looking for the fruit - that will come, but just by focusing on the faithfulness? Before you move on to personal and professional, get this put into place first.Personal - this covers a multitude of goals - physical health, financial health, mental health, time management, parenting, or marriage relationships, relationships with extended family or friendships - the list goes on and on.  If you have some personal goals that involve changing a negative behavior, pick one “same” to start. Not all of them. You focus on faithfulness and let God continue to do His thing too. Remember, you are taking steps of obedience. You are training, not trying, and perfection is not expected. God is going to bless your obedience. Focus on the faithfulness and let God focus on the fruitfulness at just the right time in just the right way.Lastly, lets talk about the principle of “sames” in your business. As entrepreneurs, we are often visionaries - looking ahead, brainstorming ideas, creating new things - this is probably what gets you up in the morning. This is what lights your fire - at least it does for me. But here's the thing - the successful businesses have duplicatable processes that allow them scale.

After going through this workshop, you will have a clearer plan for building your business in faith and wisdom, setting up your business bullseye, up-leveling your marketing plan and growth skills plan, as well as intentionally growing your faith. Up-Level 2023 WorkshopA few weeks into January, I was sitting at church - imagine having a revelation from God there, right? - and the word surrender flooded my heart and mind, and I was honestly really convicted - not in a bad way, but just in a “hit over the head” kind of way. Because here-s the thing - I study faith a lot. I pray big. I intentionally try to believe big, and believe bigger than myself - but what I realized I hadn't done in my faith journey was actually surrender my plans and expectations first…so it was kinda like I was expecting God to do big things for my plans.When I finally got on my knees and told God that I was ready to listen to him and surrender my expectations and plans, some pretty big things came across my mind that needed to be let go - I'll share some of those specifics in another episode - I'm not quite sure to share all of that yet - but yall, after some tears of the things I needed to let go, I have had so much peace the last few weeks and clarity on things to move forward on. So this is the first way to take a Step back.We need to surrender our plans and expectations. So step 1 in the process of surrender for me was to surrender my expectations. I have faith and fully believe these truths:Ephesians 3:20 - Now, all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” I also believe Jesus when he says in John 10:10, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”And the Psalmist in Psalm 33:8 when he says, “The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” And also in Psalm 34:10 when he says, “but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.” #2 - Step back from your To-Do list. Psalm 34:23 says “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Friends, the Lord cares about your to-do list. He has designed each day with a purpose in mind - and that purpose includes joy and peace and impacting others. If you're running a hundred miles, not getting everything done on your to-do list, not feeling like there's enough time in the day, then friends, I say this in love and also has someone who has felt super convicted of this lately - you have things on your to-do list that God doesn't want on there. #3 - Step back to your business bullseyeAnswer these questions:Right now - who is your target audience?What are their pain points. How would they tell you about their pain points?What is the actual problem that's causing their pain points?How can you solve that problem?How will they feel or what success will they see after you solve their problem.
