Join Pastor Johnathan as he dives into the third week in the Entrusted series. NEXT STEPS: This week, I will take tangible steps in growing in generosity.
This week, we look at Acts 5:41, where the early believers rejoiced in suffering—not because it was easy, but because it made them more like Jesus. Their boldness in the face of opposition reveals what following Christ truly requires, tests how we view Him, and separates true followers from those sitting on the fence. When suffering happens to the Church, it refines, reveals, and reminds us who we really are. Scriptures: Acts 5:17- 6:7
Obeying God with your resources is the foundation for good stewardship. Furthermore, it brings the blessings of God and fuels the mission of the Church. Join Pastor Rick as he looks at the subject of tithing. NEXT STEPS: Today, I am choosing to steward my finances by obeying the Lord. The next time Financial Peace University is offered, I will sign up and continue my growth as a steward.
Matthew 25:14-30
In Acts 4:34–35, we see a powerful picture of radical generosity—believers freely giving to meet the needs of others. This reminds us that money is more than just currency; it's a tool to bless others, a test of our trust in God, and a testimony of the gospel at work in our hearts. How we handle our resources reveals what we truly value and who we truly trust. Scriptures: Acts 4:34-35

In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I sit down with Sam Vadakekut—a visionary entrepreneur, Kingdom steward, and author of About My Father's Business: Enslaved vs. Entrusted. Sam's message isn't just another faith-and-business pep talk. It's a spiritual wake-up call that will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, authority, and wealth.Because here's the truth: Most entrepreneurs are unknowingly building their businesses the world's way while praying for Kingdom results. They're applying marketplace tactics to a Kingdom assignment and wondering why it's not working.Sam knows this struggle well. His journey has been a wild collision of trials, triumphs, and radical obedience—all guided by God's hand.He's built successful ventures in real estate, healthcare, and more, but his greatest accomplishment isn't in profit margins—it's in the eternal impact of transforming mindsets and financial legacies through biblical principles.But Sam's path to success was far from glamorous. He's faced devastating failures that would've made most people quit. He's battled through seasons of loss, betrayal, and frustration. But every setback became a stepping stone—teaching him true stewardship, resilience, and a level of trust in God's provision that most believers never tap into.And here's what makes Sam different: He doesn't just teach business. He teaches Kingdom alignment.Because making money without God's blueprint is just glorified poverty—no matter how big the numbers are.And the blueprint he shares? It's straight from God's Word.It's the same Kingdom principles that empowered Joseph to run Egypt's economy, David to lead a nation, and the Proverbs 31 woman to build generational wealth.We dive into radically misunderstood truths like: Why most entrepreneurs remain trapped in religious systems instead of stepping boldly into their Kingdom mandate. The secret to unlocking true authority and wealth—and why most believers will never access it. How rest and celebration aren't luxuries—they're weapons for acceleration. Why partnering with the Holy Spirit is the missing link to transforming your business and impacting the marketplace.What if everything you've been taught about faith, business, and wealth is only scratching the surface?What if your pursuit of success is actually the very thing keeping you from it God's way?
In today's podcast, we explore Acts 4, where persecution led the disciples to pray for boldness, shaping their perspective and strengthening their unity. Instead of fear, they responded with faith, growing closer to God and each other as they advanced the gospel. Scriptures: Acts 4:23-35, 2 Timothy 3:12, Job 42:2, 2 Timothy 1:7
Join Pastor Rick as he unpacks the Parable of the Talents and explores how we can avoid being the servant who buries his head in the sand. NEXT STEPS: Today, I repent for living like an owner and am asking God to help me steward all that I have and all that I am. This week, I will reflect on my resources and skills and determine how to use them for God's kingdom work.
Paul's Final Charge – Preach the Word 2 Timothy 4 Preach the Word and fulfill your ministry, Timothy. Paul knew his departure was near, and there was an urgency to continue moving the gospel forward because Jesus is coming soon. Paul's warning to Timothy applies to us today. He said a time was coming when people would turn away from the truth — that time is now. Join us as we wrap up Paul's second letter to Timothy with a few important truths that still speak to us today. Study along with the podcast and make the most of listening to this series!

Taking a people-centered approach, national lawmakers were urged to unite and gather efforts to implement whole-process people's democracy and to strive unremittingly to advance the building of a strong nation and the great rejuvenation of China.Li Hongzhong, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, called for uniting the wisdom and strength of the broad masses of the people, adhering to the principle of "everything for the people and everything relying on the people" and continuously meeting the people's aspirations for a better life, as the country's top legislative body wrapped up its annual session on Tuesday.Entrusted by the presidium of the third session of the 14th NPC, Li presided over the closing meeting and made the remarks.President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the meeting, which was held at the Great Hall of the People."We must unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, focusing intently on our own tasks, implementing strategic decisions step by step, and turning our work plans into reality," Li said, calling on NPC deputies to further promote Chinese modernization.At the closing meeting, deputies voted to approve resolutions on the Government Work Report as well as the national economic and social development plan for 2025 and the central budget for 2025.They also adopted resolutions on the work reports of the NPC Standing Committee, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and a decision to amend the Law on Deputies to the National People's Congress and to the Local People's Congresses at Various Levels.Zhao Zhao, an NPC deputy from Henan province, praised the amended law, saying that "the amendment was necessary and timely"."The revised law standardizes our behavior and protects our rights as deputies. It will greatly help us fulfill our duties," said Zhao, an entrepreneur in Nanzhao county.Li Dexiang, an NPC deputy from Guizhou province, regarded the amended law as his legal safeguard, noting that it provided clear guidelines on how to better serve the people.He said that the streamlining of the process of handling deputies' suggestions in the revised law would improve the quality and efficiency of their work, enabling them to perform their duties more effectively.By Saturday noon, the third session's secretariat had received 269 motions and more than 8,000 suggestions from NPC deputies.The suggestions mainly focused on legislation in key, emerging and foreign-related sectors, while the suggestions primarily addressed boosting consumption and investment, driving the integrated development of technological and industrial innovation, and promoting high-quality growth through artificial intelligence.
In Acts 4, Peter and John boldly proclaimed Jesus despite opposition. Their courage, rooted in their deep love for Him, amazed the religious leaders, who recognized they had been with Jesus. This shows that true boldness in our faith comes from a personal relationship with Christ. Scripture: Acts 4: 1-22
Entrepreneur and advisor, Sam Vadakekut says each person has their own creativity within them. There isn't one answer that will fix everyone's money woes. But he does say that "a scarcity mindset creates financial enslavement." Learn more in this episode and from his book "About my Father's Business: Enslaved vs Entrusted."

Peter's sermon in Acts 3 teaches that true transformation comes not from our own power or piety, but from faith in Jesus. Repentance leads to the forgiveness of sins and restoration, bringing us into a renewed relationship with God. Piety should always point to Jesus, not ourselves. Scripture: Acts 3: 1-21
Evil Men and Paul's Example 2 Timothy 3 Misplaced love is the subject of this week's episode.

Donna Pisani, a pastor and Bible teacher with forty years of ministry experience, has a game-changing message for women leaders: the One who loves you most is cheering you on, has given you a voice, and already has a seat at the table waiting for you. A practical tool for women who are called to leadership roles in any area of life, Entrusted to Lead offers biblical insight and real-life encouragement for how to navigate their leadership journey. In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position. Women who wrestle with God's call to lead, or who don't have anyone supporting their call, will discover how to: Embrace their God-given, unique leadership gifts Become alert to the internal lies that make them hesitant to pursue their calling Answer Jesus' mandate to women to “go tell”—even when no one seems to be listening Understand how Paul empowered both genders to lead and serve together Lean into Jesus' strength when facing leadership challengesGenerations of confusion keep women from answering God's call to lead, depriving God's kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry—and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.Donna Pisani is a pastor and Bible teacher with forty years of ministry experience. The author of The Power of Not Yet, she has aMaster of Arts in Ministerial Leadership from Southeastern University and a DMin from George Fox University focusing on women in leadership. Donna cofounded Capital City Church alongside herhusband and she is a cofounder of the Circle of Twelve, a mentoringprogram for women leaders. Her family includes four adult children,two son-in-laws, and two adorable grandchildren.
Acts 2 marks the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The evidence—wind and fire—stuns the crowd. Peter's explanation connects it to prophecy and Jesus' resurrection. The effects are transformative: bold preaching, conviction, and 3,000 new believers, igniting the church's mission. Today, we must ask—are we exuding the aroma of the Holy Spirit, drawing others to Christ? Scripture: Acts 2:1-46, Ezekiel 36:26-28, Joel 2: 28-32
Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed of the Gospel, even in the face of suffering. As Paul sits in prison for his faith, he calls Timothy—and us—to courageously endure for the sake of Christ. What does it look like to stand unashamed in a world that opposes the truth? In this sermon, we examine the call to boldness, perseverance, and reliance on God's power.
What we do with what's given to us says everything about us. Why is understanding who we are so important to how we live?

The role of an apostle was never about status—it was about faithful service, sacrifice, and a singular focus on the ultimate reward: Jesus. Though few were called to this office, their obedience and dedication continue to impact us today. Their lives remind us that true fulfillment isn't found in titles but in pursuing Christ and making Him known. Scriptures: Acts 1:12-26

Acts 1:8 reminds us that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit and entrusted with the mission of being Christ's witnesses. This isn't just a calling—it's a divine equipping to share the gospel boldly, starting where we are and reaching to the ends of the earth. We don't carry this message in our own strength, but in His, living as faithful witnesses to His truth, love, and power. Scriptures: Acts 1:3-11. Luke 28:48-49
Everything belongs to the Lord. He has entrusted us with everything we have. He is our source and supply. Do we put it to good use or spend and bury it out of selfishness and fear? The amount we have and the actions we take in faithfulness reflect our hearts and test our trust. Let's accept the challenge of using what we've been given well.
Entrust the Gospel & Suffer Hardship (Ep. 3) 2 Timothy 2:1-13 Be like a soldier, train like an athlete, and work hard like a farmer. Timothy, join me in suffering for the gospel. This week, we will explore these three metaphors and how they apply to our own lives. As we have entrusted our lives to God, He has entrusted His Word to us—so we must serve.
