"I can't think the same any more. I can't process the same any more. I can't dream with God the same way because I've experienced something different in God that I'd only heard about but now I've experienced."

November 10 marked Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur's 7th anniversary, and on today's episode our Chief Fire Igniter Shae shares about the development of her spiritual journey since starting Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur in 2012 with Antonina Geer, plus reveals some of the leadership lessons that came out of her seventh year of the movement.

“What do you want? Something that is on a magazine stand for one month or do you want to touch eternity?"

She shares about how her experience in the Igniters mentoring program changed everything for her -- how she learned how to dream with God and begin to work by the power of His grace.  We discuss the first few experiences Christina had partnering with God (ignoring all of the typical rules and blueprints) and how it led her into new and unexpected adventures in business. It's a wonderful testimony of how we can trust God to guide, provide, and course correct every step of the way.

Billy also shares some rich insight on the power of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

Shae Bynes shares what God's call for "purity in business" means for the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur as well as what the scripture reveals about wisdom and the benefit of having a pure heart.

God has called us to be holy, set apart, dedicated and devoted to Him - that includes in the way we operate our businesses and represent Him to our sphere of influence. This mentoring moment from Shae is an introduction into the topic of demonstrating God's purity in business.

“Lord, I have tasted the best this world has to offer and don’t desire more of the same. Therefore, I make this covenant with you. ‘Time is precious, the Lord’s work is much, I will not spend my time doing any other business that is not the work of the Lord.”

These were the words penned by today's guest LeRay Heyne, former CEO of his family's business Enjoy Foods International and now the Founder of Windows of Heaven and Jesus Christ’s CEOs Institute.

LeRay's testimony is one of being at the top and losing it all (yet gaining so much more) while experiencing some of the toughest (yet most miraculous) moments of his life. It's a testimony of perseverance and holding fast to the word of God which are Kingdom keys for doing business completely yielded and in partnership with Him. It's through that enduring faith that we see the promises of God unfold.

There is no lack of business growth advice available to you and many market their business blueprints as THE blueprint for your business breakthrough.  Should you follow the advice?

A common objection Shae hears about the Grace Over Grind message is: "How do I balance the grind with the grace? I feel like I need both." Shae addresses why there's simply no need to have to balance working by your own grind with working by His grace.

Listen in as Shae and Angee share what's been happening behind the scenes of the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur movement and the adventure in growing at the pace of His grace.

Today’s conversation is with SJ Messon, Founder of Christian Women in Business (CWIB).

She shares her adventure of getting a word from God to inspire women and how it led to a movement of Christian women in Australia and beyond who desire to glorify God through their business.

SJ has consistently seen the favor and the provision of God as she took steps forward in faith.
