Have you ever noticed how the richest business wisdom sometimes hides in the most unexpected places? Tucked away in seven short verses of 2 Kings 4 lies what might be the first documented door-knocking entrepreneur in scripture—a desperate widow who transformed her crisis into opportunity through divine guidance and practical action.

This episode unpacks three golden lessons from this ancient story that remain strikingly relevant for today's kingdom-minded entrepreneurs. When faced with crushing debt and the threat of losing her children to creditors, this widow didn't receive a miraculous handout. Instead, she received something far more valuable: a divinely-inspired business model that not only solved her immediate financial crisis but provided sustainable income for her family's future.

The first golden lesson centers on mentorship—how the prophet Elisha saw potential in something the widow had dismissed as worthless. Like many entrepreneurs today, she needed someone with greater perspective to identify the opportunity hidden within her limited resources. The second lesson focuses on starting with what you already possess rather than waiting for ideal circumstances. Too many business owners delay action until conditions seem perfect, but this biblical example shows how God's provision often follows our initiative rather than preceding it. Finally, we explore the power of teamwork—how this single mother created an efficient production line with her sons that multiplied their effectiveness. As your business grows, remember that a team will always outproduce an individual, regardless of how talented that person might be.

Stepping out to start a business can feel like standing at the edge of uncharted waters. The fear of failure, uncertainty about the path ahead, and countless "what-ifs" can keep even the most passionate visionaries stuck in perpetual planning mode. But what if the principles for launching your kingdom business were simpler than you thought?

In this powerful episode, I break down three transformative visuals that will shift how you approach your entrepreneurial calling. First, we explore the profound truth that God is present "in the beginning" of every venture, just as Scripture tells us in both Genesis and John. This fundamental understanding transforms entrepreneurship from a solo journey into a divine partnership where you're never building alone.

Next, we tackle the paralyzing problem of overthinking that keeps so many would-be business owners stuck. Like a child learning to walk who falls countless times before succeeding, every entrepreneur must embrace action despite the certainty of occasional failure. As I share, "God parted the sea when people got up, left the house, and walked to it." Your miracle awaits your movement.

Perhaps most transformative is the final visual comparing your business to a fruit tree. The fruit your business produces isn't meant for your benefit alone—it's for those who pass by. When you shift your focus from personal gain to providing genuine value to God's people, the prosperity naturally follows. This kingdom principle of profit following value ensures that as you serve others excellently, your dreams of financial freedom and impact will become reality.

Whether you're nurturing the seed of a business idea or ready to take your first steps, these biblical principles provide the framework for faith-driven entrepreneurship that honors God while creating lasting impact. Ready to align your business with God's blueprint? Listen now and discover how kingdom business isn't just what you do—it's who you are.

Ever wonder what a football draft story could teach you about running a successful business? In this eye-opening episode, I break down how one highly-touted prospect potentially lost $36 million by making three critical mistakes that many entrepreneurs repeat daily in their businesses.

Through the lens of this cautionary tale, we explore the three non-negotiable rules that keep you from leaving money on the table: never skipping exposure opportunities, strategically positioning yourself where your customers already gather, and surrounding yourself with truly wise counsel. The parallels between this draft-day disaster and common business pitfalls are both surprising and enlightening.

"If you're the smartest one in the room, there's a problem with that room," is just one of the powerful takeaways as we dissect why having the right advisors around you can make or break your business growth. I explain why passion and family support, while valuable, need to be balanced with professional expertise when making critical business decisions. You'll learn practical strategies for expanding your visibility, connecting with customers in their natural environment, and building a mastermind network that challenges you to grow.

Whether you're just starting out or scaling an established business, these three principles form the foundation of sustainable success. Don't wait for customers to find you or advice to fall into your lap - be intentional about your business growth.
