Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is returning guest Keenya Kelly, a branding and marketing consultant.  The Holy Spirit led Keenya to embrace her prophetic gifting through her consulting work which was initially uncomfortable, but she quickly saw breakthrough for her clients.  

Months later (and in the midst of the global pandemic), she received a new instruction from the Lord: “Get on Tik Tok.”  Keenya didn’t know much about the popular social media platform, but in obedience to the Lord she figured it out.  Her obedience yielded many rewards, which she shares about in this conversation.  She also candidly shares about the personal challenges she’s had to overcome as God has elevated her and vastly increased her reach.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Karen Hauck, founder of Evexia Consulting.

Karen shares the adventure of saying yes to God’s leading to expand the work she has (and continues to do) primarily within church ministry to go into the marketplace as a business owner. Karen is a new business owner, but has been exercising her gift for seeing people through the lens of Jesus and facilitating breakthroughs in people’s lives for years. God is calling many to the marketplace to advance His Kingdom and our prayer is that this conversation provides confirmation and encouragement to walk out that expansion with courage.

Today’s guests on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast are Mark Victor Hansen and his wife Crystal Dwer Hansen.  Mark and Crystal are two Kingdom entrepreneurs in the business of life transformation and human potential. You are probably already familiar with Mark as he is the author or co-author of hundreds of books that have collectively sold over a half billion copies worldwide, in particular his best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul Series.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Anthony Fisher, business coach, branding & communication strategist, and a member of Team KDE as one of our Igniters mentors.

He shares how he navigates the tension of having a big God-given vision and walking it out step by step while also having a full time job.  It’s a rich and honest conversation about surrendering to God, stewarding prophetic vision, and leaning into the power of God’s grace and not solely relying on your strength, wisdom, and abilities.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Tammi Wheeler, executive and leadership coach and founder of PeopleSense LLC.  

She shares her adventure of learning how to embrace the leading of the Holy Spirit in her business. She found (and continues to find) so much joy in seeing how God shows up in the seemingly small and consistent ways as she leans into His voice and direction. Her testimony is one that will encourage you to appreciate your individual journey with God in business rather than comparing it to others, and to simply enjoy the adventure of learning how to work by the power of His grace rather than relying primarily on your own strength.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Crystal Daye, founder of Dayelight Publishers and the Christian Coaches Alliance and hailing from Kingston, Jamaica.

Crystal grew up in one of the poorest and most violent communities in Kingston and had no role models of Christian entrepreneurs around her, but she had a desire in her heart to do business God’s way.  Her quest to find out how eventually led her to Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur and she shares her testimony of learning how to overcome imposter syndrome, dream with God, and operate her business from Heaven’s economy.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Edie Tolbert, owner of Stonebrook Day Spa in Catoosa, Oklahoma. 

Edie’s “business bestie” encouraged her to read Grace Over Grind: How Grace Will Take Your Business Where Grinding Can’t.  She read it three times, put the message into practice, and her business was completely transformed. 

She shares about how she surrendered her business to God and shifted from grinding in her own strength to finding (and then working in) the unforced rhythms of God’s grace. When she said yes to the invitation to allow God to be her Provider, He supernaturally changed her financial situation around and now business is thriving and she is also able to be a blessing to cancer patients in her community through her spa’s non-profit organization.

November 10 marked Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur’s 8th anniversary, and on today’s episode our Chief Fire Igniter Shae Bynes is joined by her husband Phil Bynes (the new CEO of Kingdom Driven LLC) and Dr. Tony Robinson, KDE’s prophetic strategist.

The three of them reflect on God’s goodness over the past 8 years, share what’s been going on behind the scenes in the midst of the recent leadership transition, and provide some encouragement for showing up powerfully in the marketplace during these challenging times around the globe.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Kim Houston-Bryant, award-winning pastry chef and Founder of TheBakingMama.com. 

After years of grinding it out in her own strength, Kim eventually hit a point of exhaustion. From the outside looking in it seemed she was at the top of her career, serving celebrity and high profile corporate clientele, but the truth was that she was unable to operate in excellence she was capable of because it all became too much to handle. 

She shares her testimony of learning how to find the pace of God’s grace in business and lean more into Him rather than trying to do everything on her own. Hers is a testimony of how God will cause all things to work together for your good and His glory when you align your dreams with His and walk out this journey of business with both faith and obedience. 

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is returning guest, Julia Winston. Julia is Founder of Brave Leadership Consulting and Precision Intercessors.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Andrew Murkens, a real estate broker and investor in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  

Andrew left his IT career four years ago for full time entrepreneurship after God revealed the real estate industry to him and his wife as their next step. He shares how he partners with God in sharing the Gospel with others through their business through both their client interactions and their marketing. It’s not “in your face”, but in a powerful way that is sensitive to the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit.

Andrew’s story is one of the power and rewards of obedience, trusting God to the Source of provision.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Kelly Baader, digital sales and marketing strategist and the host of The Christian CEO Podcast.

She shares how the Holy Spirit led her to transition her business to specifically serve Christian business owners and gave her the revelation of a framework that helps them find identity aligned success in business. Not only do we have access to wisdom gained through our own experiences, but we have access to the strategies from Heaven to help us serve others powerfully in the marketplace.

Today’s conversation is with Althea McIntyre, a business coach to Christ-centered female entrepreneurs. 

Althea was originally on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast two years ago when she shared about how she found freedom on the other side of her “Yes” to God.  In today’s update chat, Shae speaks with Althea about how she has grown in confidence doing business in partnership with God and about her journey of owning the value and gifts that God has given her to serve others in the marketplace.

Today’s conversation is with Matt Wilson, a financial planner and founder of Perpetual Lifestyle Planning. 

He shares about his journey of surrendering his business to God after realizing that he had been putting his trust in himself and money rather than trusting God for and in everything.

Today’s guest is Alicia Hommon, owner of The Laughing Place Bakery and an Igniters mentor on Team KDE. 

She shares candidly about her journey in growing in doing business by the power of God’s grace.  Alicia says she was “born with the grind in her” and the pride of doing hard work, and while she eagerly desired to embrace the Grace Over Grind message she did not think it was possible as a bakery owner.  But God! She has learned one faithful step at a time how to let go and allow Him to do the heavy lifting as she is diligent in what He calls her to do. The result? Supernatural results that point to the goodness and favor of an awesome and limitless God. 

Today’s guest is Jesse Cole, founder of Kingdom Mogul Coaching. After over a decade in the field of education, Jesse was laid off from his job and felt the leading of the Lord to take his “business on the side” and become a full time entrepreneur.  

We discuss the adventure of the last two years and how he has grown in doing business in partnership with God. Jesse admits that he has an ambitious personality and used to believe that when God gave Him an idea it had to be done immediately, but He shares how He has learned how to move at the pace of God’s grace and be led more by the Holy Spirit than he is by money, experts, pressure, or anything else that isn’t Him.

Chief Fire Igniter Shae Bynes along with members of Team KDE share exciting updates about the season of elevation that we are experiencing, including the announcement of a new Chief Executive Officer.

Today’s guest is our Chief Operating Officer of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, Angee Robertson. Not only is she our COO, but she also serves clients from her 18-year old virtual assistant practice.

We also discuss the virtual assistant industry and the opportunity for Kingdom influence and impact within it.

It’s a conversation about growing in business with a spouse, learning to operate in business with a proper identity in Christ, and yielding business completely to God.  

Chris-Tia Donaldson is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Thank God It’s Natural (tgin), a manufacturer of natural hair and skin care products that are sold in retail stores nationwide. She is also the author of This is Only a Test: What Breast Cancer Taught me about Faith, Love, Hair and Business.

Enjoy this conversation with Chris-Tia about her journey of going from a Harvard Law School graduate who felt like she had it all together to a two time cancer survivor and entrepreneur who has surrendered her life and business to God. She shares the goodness of inviting God’s presence and wisdom into the daily operations of her growing business and focusing on what He says vs. what how things may look or seem.

Today’s guest is Trevor Dunbar, a leadership coach and mentor who helps people to activate the power of God in their life while leading their businesses and families with confidence and passion.  

If you’ve ever had a vision from God that is so big that you hardly have words to articulate it and have little insight into all the steps required to see it come to pass, you will appreciate this conversation. Trevor shares how he has persevered through the adventure of navigating big vision and how the supernatural power of God has made a difference every step of the way.

It’s a rich conversation about building Kingdom culture in the workplace, embracing five-fold ministry gifts, and working in partnership with one another and with God.

“When you walk with the anointing of God on your life, you don’t have to make an advertisement or buy a T-shirt ‘Holy Spirit is Moving Here’...clients know it.” 

Those are the words of today’s guest Samaria Colbert, a licensed mental health therapist and founder of Kingdom Creative Counseling.  Samaria’s approach to therapy integrates the truth of the Kingdom of God through mental health, inner healing, and deliverance so that complete healing and wholeness is achieved through Jesus Christ.

We talk today about how the Holy Spirit has taught and guided her in client interactions as well as the operations of her business. You’ll hear how God has been her Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and so much more.  It’s a story about the power of partnering with God’s presence, being faithful and obedient, and trusting Him to be the Source of your provision.

Today’s guest is Terry Looper, CEO and Founder of Texon LP and author of the book Sacred Pace: Four Steps to Hearing God and Aligning Yourself with His Will.

When Terry was in his 30’s, he’d reached what many would consider the pinnacle of success with his multi-billion dollar company.  He eventually reached a point of devastating burnout which led to a radical transformation in his relationship with God as well as a transformation in how he operated his business in a fast paced and high stress industry.

We chat about how God shifted the way he works so he can make decisions under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and be aligned with His will for his life and business. 

Today’s guest is Keeyana Avery with Agency Seven Public Relations Agency.  

Keeyana was among the first groups of people to join our Igniters mentoring community years ago and has truly learned what it looks like to make the shift to do business by the power of God’s grace.

Today’s guest is Dr. Saunda Dalton-Smith.  Saundra was a practicing internal medicine physician for decades, and just recently shifted (at God’s leading) away from her practice to move into the new thing God had for her in the marketplace. 

As a “huge planner” and “recovering control freak”, she has seen the goodness of allowing God to direct her step by step without needing to know all the details up front.  This is a candid chat about transition and moving in faith and obedience in order to experience God’s best in business. 

Today’s guest is Jaime Cross, CEO and Founder of MIG Soap & Body Company.  If you’ve read Shae’s book Grace Over Grind: How Grace Will Take Your Business Where Grinding Can’t, you may recognize her name immediately as her story of how God gave her a billion dollar business idea in her dreams was included.  Her story is such a great testimony of how God gives us divine strategy and ideas -- yes even in our sleep!

Jaime shares about the adventures in business she has been experiencing in the past few years as MIG grew from a six-figure revenue business to a multi-million dollar enterprise with a growing staff and a big vision for the future. It’s a candid conversation about how she continues to partner with God to increase in grace and increase in capacity for all that God has in store for her and MIG in the marketplace.  You’ll be inspired to dream big with God and put no limits on what He places in your heart.

Today’s guest is Paul S. Edwards, a content ghostwriter for faith-based influencers, entrepreneurs and executives. 

Paul admits that he is a “redeemed egomaniac” that suffered from pride, envy, judgement, and self righteousness, but he has since learned what it means to surrender to God in his life and in his recently launched business.  

This episode is a raw, honest conversation about the beauty of growing in your relationship with the Lord, shifting your mindset, and exchanging your plans for God’s best.

Expect to hear about how Andy overcame his fears about marketing and promotion and be inspired by his journey of taking risks and following the voice of God even when it’s highly uncomfortable or doesn’t even seem to make much sense. 

Today’s guest is with Betty Jewell Slater, film producer, a director, a speaker, author, and actor.

Betty’s faith walk and pursuit of godly wisdom started as a child and created the foundation for a partnership with God in business later in life.  Her transition into business was quite unexpected for her, but she shares how “stepping out and watching God materialize the path before her” has been key to her journey.

Shae often talks about how God can be our Chief Anything Officer and Betty will tell you that God has most certainly been her public relations agent.  He is expanding her territory and has provided her with a growing platform for Kingdom influence through the creative arts.

Her story is a wonderful example of walking in alignment with God, responding to movement of the Holy Spirit, and allowing God to be the Source.

Today’s guest is Joy Capps, copywriter and business coach with Engaging Business Communications, LLC.  

A “PK” (preacher’s kid) with rich Christian heritage, Joy had a solid foundation for living life with a relationship with God, but found herself operating as a Christian who had a business but doing it mostly on her own without engaging Him. 

Her hunger for more and desire to be aligned with the heart of God in her work was the catalyst for a shift in doing business by seeking first the Kingdom of God.

Joy shares the challenges and goodness of the adventure, plus we discuss the rich opportunity for Kingdom influence and impact in the copywriting industry.

Shae Bynes shares with Eboni Truss her own journey of making this shift from grinding in business to working by the infinite power of God's grace. Partial recording from interview during The SHIFT online event in April 2020.

Today’s guest is Samone Lett, personal chef and owner of Red Door Events.

She admits that she experienced God’s favor and orchestration in so many ways in her catering business, but eventually fell into “grinding it out” in her own strength which led to near destruction in her marriage, health, and business. 

Ultimately what seemed like a terrible loss ended up birthing something new as she yielded herself to God and chose a new way of working by the infinite power of His grace.

Today’s guest is Julia Winston, a leadership development trainer and executive consultant through her company Brave Leadership LLC.

We talk about how she had to repeatedly bust her preconceived notions in order to embrace who God called her to be and what she carries in the marketplace. Through the power of mentorship and the leading of the Holy Spirit, Julia has been able to “step into her own brave” and help many others to do the same.

It’s an honest and funny conversation that may illuminate some of the preconceived notions that you may be carrying as well.

Today’s guest is Paul Wilson, Jr. area director of the Small Business Development Center in Atlanta GA.

We’re doing something a little different with the podcast today in order to ensure that the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur community is aware of some of the resources currently available to small business owners in the midst of the global pandemic.

While that part of the conversation is geared specifically toward business owners in the United States and U.S. territories, we also have a chat with Paul about how God shifted him from full time entrepreneurship into being an employee working for an organization that serves entrepreneurs. Sometimes our adventures with God take us places we don’t anticipate or even think that we want, but yet are right in alignment with His plans.

Today’s guest is writer, director, and producer Dallas Jenkins.

You are likely familiar with Dallas Jenkins record-breaking project The Chosen, the first ever multi-season TV show about the life of Jesus Christ. We talk about Dallas’ start in film and how God used a significant career disappointment and turned it into something absolutely beautiful. He shares how the Holy Spirit leads him as he writes and directs as well as how the message of 5 loaves and 2 fish has served as the story of his professional life. 

Today’s guest is Kelly Thorne Gore, business coach for network marketers. 

Kelly shares how embracing the power of working by God’s grace radically changed her approach to business. As she has put the King’s agenda first and allowed God to be the source of her business blueprint, He has moved powerfully in her life and in the lives of those she serves.

Today’s guest is mindset coach and business strategist Shun Strickland. 

Shun shares how God helped her overcome what she calls “money ick”, which for years impacted her ability to thrive financially in business.  By allowing the Holy Spirit to be her ultimate guide and teacher, she learned how to dream big with God and increase her capacity in such a powerful way that it led to financial breakthrough not only for herself, but for those she is uniquely called to serve.

Her story is a testimony of the power of Romans 12:2:

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Today’s guest is serial entrepreneur and founder of Daily Godpreneur Alex Miranda. 

Alex has a rich testimony that speaks to the transforming power of immersing yourself in the Bible and allowing the Holy Spirit to bring the scripture to life and make it tangible in your life and business. We also talk about how God shifted how he engages with clients in a really practical way that points them back to the One who created them (whether they believe in Jesus or not). 

Also included in today’s episode is a bonus conversation with business advisor Drew Hiss regarding his book that helps entrepreneurs understand and apply the timeless principles found in the book of Proverbs to business.

Today’s guest is Tasha Glover, business strategist and CEO of the digital marketing agency, Tech with Tasha. She is also a beloved member of Team KDE, serving as one of our Igniters Mentors.

We discuss how she learned to release false humility, and how Holy Spirit has been guiding and teaching her how to show up fully the way God has empowered her to do so in the marketplace.  It's a rich discussion of the power of community, accountability, and partnering with God in the strategic operations of business as well as client engagement.

Today's guest is Lisa van den Berg, online pastor at Heaven in Business and Founder of Adventures with Jesus Today. 

Lisa admits that she used to think that Christians were weak because they relied on God instead of themselves. She thought as a Christian she couldn't pursue her entrepreneurial dreams, but at age 30 she had an encounter with God where He affirmed that she could pursue excellence in business and still be in relationship with Him. 

She thought Jesus was now a new tool in her belt ("the ultimate success tool" she says), and pursued business ambitiously with that mindset until she realized that there was an invitation to more.

Lisa shares the fun story of how she grew in relationship with Him and shifted from grinding (relying on her own strength) to working in partnership with Him and by the leading of Holy Spirit.  Now she enjoys daily adventures with Jesus in business and is inspiring others to do the same.

Today’s guest is counselor and wellness coach Abigail Holt Jennings.

Stephanie completely changed her approach to how she operates her business, and her shifts have created a ripple effect that impacts her clients as well as the people in her clients' spheres of influence.

Today's guest is Matthew Bell, a serial entrepreneur with a heart for seeing entrepreneurs in the body of Christ transform culture through innovative business and technology.

Today’s guest is Christy Echols, Founder & President of Paragon Development Group in Las Vegas, Nevada.

She shares how God healed her from the inside out, enabling her to shift into a lifestyle of working in partnership with Him.

God promised her that the journey would be "not business as usual" and she is experiencing the beauty and adventure of that reality!

Today's guest is creative consultant Keenya Kelly. Not many years ago she had a thriving corporate career plus a 6-figure network marketing business, but God completely shifted her business focus and she accepted the invitation to an adventure of doing business in partnership with Him.

Keenya had plenty of experience on how to grow a business, but she learned how to lay aside her know-how in order to seek God's heart and the leading of the Holy Spirit for the new thing He was doing.  She's seeking Him for strategy, embracing her spiritual gifts, and is taking risks to cultivate those gifts and allow them to flow freely for the benefit of her consulting clients.

"I don’t have to beg [God] to anoint me; He’s already anointed me. I don’t have to beg Him to make it successful, because if He opened the door, it already is successful and the Holy Spirit is already there to take whatever I’m bringing to the table in the midst of my imperfections and bring light and revelation to it to touch the depths of a heart."

These are the words of today's guest, Dr. Melodye Hilton of Hilton Consulting LLC.  For decades, Melodye has worked with industry and governmental leaders around the globe as a leadership consultant, behavioral analyst, and executive coach. Her authentic commitment to valuing humanity just as our Father does and carrying His heart to the people around her has resulted in true Kingdom impact in her spheres of influence.  Listen in as she shares from some of her adventures in business doing business in partnership with God, both led and empowered by Holy Spirit.

Today’s conversation is with Tommy Deuschle, founder of Cmedia Africa, a Production Company based in Zimbabwe.  We discuss his assignment of cultivating hope in nations that are struggling, and how he and his creative consulting team have partnered with God along the way.

Tommy also shares rich insight into how he has created and maintained a Kingdom culture in his company to operate business through the lens of Heaven in the midst of challenging circumstances such as government corruption, economic distress, and limited access to electricity.

He shares how God shifted his heart and mindset around wealth and gave him His wisdom concerning how to continue to grow and use his wealth for Kingdom impact.  Now his passion is helping others to use their wealth to make a Kingdom impact across the globe, including empowering the poor in developing nations to move from poverty to financial stability.  

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.

Today’s conversation is with Terry A Smith, Lead Pastor of The Life Christian Church in New Jersey.

We’re talking about the power of radical hospitality in leadership,  a concept he lives and shares about in his book The Hospitable Leader: Create Environments Where People and Dreams Flourish.

Jesus Christ provided us with the ultimate example of the power of hospitable leadership, and a Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur who operates business with this mindset will experience results with greater Kingdom impact.

Today’s conversation is with Kevin Adams and Matt Ham, Founders of YouPrint, where they help people to live the life of impact that they were created for. 

Partnerships certainly present their challenges, but when you have two or more Kingdom-focused entrepreneurs come together in unity to build a business that is yielded to God and both led and empowered by Holy Spirit, the results are powerful!

Kevin and Matt share how God brought them together as well as how they’ve navigated through discovering and honoring both their individual and collective gifts in order to do business by the power of God’s grace.

We chat about what it has looked like to be both led and empowered by Holy Spirit in her entrepreneurial journey of over 20 years, starting from founding a non-profit organization for young women to the work that she’s doing helping women to grow their businesses in a way that is aligned with purpose.  Nicole surely "found her fierce" through the power of leaning into God and stretching outside of her comfort zones.

In this mentoring moment, Shae shares on the importance of having a revelation in both your mind and heart concerning the economics of Heaven and God as the Source of ALL provision in Kingdom business.

Today’s conversation is with LaTara Venise, our Igniters Team Lead and a member of the Igniters mentor team.

LaTara also transparently shares the goodness as well as the early challenges she experienced in transitioning to her new role in the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur movement.

In today's "ASK KDE", Dr. Tony Robinson responds to a question submitted by a member of the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur family about the work she hates, yet feels like she is doing out of obedience to what God has called her to.  Would God call you to work that you despise and that creates tension in your marriage? Listen in to hear the heart of the Father on this question.

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?

There was a season of Matt’s life when he didn’t experience a sober day for over four years due to his addiction to drugs and alcohol. God completely and beautifully shifted his entire life when - at a time of desperation - Matt chose to shift his business to align with the ways of the Kingdom. It’s a wonderful testimony of the power of yielding your business to the Ultimate CEO. 

Shae shares about the importance to making plans in business, but allowing God to be "God of the outcome" by holding the plans loosely and staying engaged with Holy Spirit.

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 author, speaker, and TV host Krissy Nelson.

We discuss the story of how her brand, Created for the Impossible, started and the adventures with God that helped her to live into the message God gave her in order to empower, equip, and activate a generation. Krissy's story speaks to the fullness of Kingdom provision unveiled as we say yes and actively pursue God-given vision.

A common objection Shae hears about the Grace Over Grind message is: "It sounds like you're advocating sitting around and waiting for God instead of doing the work. We are supposed to work hard!" Shae addresses the question of whether the grace message advocates laziness in business.

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. It’s a testimony of the power of obedience; moving forward without all the details and even when it doesn’t make sense. SJ has consistently seen the favor and the provision of God as she took steps forward in faith.

How do I know that I am grinding vs. just working hard? Shae addresses this common question about the message of working by the infinite power of God's grace rather than relying primarily on our own strength (the grind).

He shares stories from his life and business adventures of how seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness has led to solutions, Heaven's provision, and the fulfillment of dreams.  

Grind...hustle...aren't these just semantics? Can't my grind be godly and my hustle be holy? Shae addresses this common objection and why it’s the wrong question.

Jenny is a former corporate executive and shifted out of her corporate career as a top earner in network marketing. Her first two years in network marketing were purely a grind, but God shifted her mindset and heart to do business His way.

We have a very candid conversation about her challenging yet rewarding journey over the past six years of learning to grow a business in the network marketing industry by the power of God’s grace and have a greater Kingdom impact in the marketplace.

Recording from Shae's Facebook Live broadcast about the awesome and limitless nature of God and the importance of experiencing and expressing more of Him in our businesses.

Today’s conversation is with Brad Herman, owner of The Arsenal bookstore.

With no experience or education on what it means to be a business owner, God opened an unlikely door for Brad to enter the publishing industry and own two retail bookstores. We discuss how he has partnered with God (through both storefront and e-commerce bookstores) to demonstrate His love and have an impact in the lives of his customers.

His story testifies of the goodness and full provision of God to be the Source of what you need to prosper in Kingdom driven business.

Today’s conversation is with business mentor and speaker, Eboni Truss.

She shares her journey of embracing and shifting to a lifestyle of working by the infinite power of God’s grace in her business rather than relying on her own grind.  While she admits that the shift has been a challenging one as recovering "expert-led entrepreneur", she is already experiencing the rewards of being led by Holy Spirit in the operations of her business.
