How to Build a Clear Vision for Your Life
Most people set goals for the business without ever asking what they actually want their life to look like. The business ends up driving the life instead of the other way around. This episode is about flipping that.
31
Rhythms and Habits to Find Clarity in the Chaos
You can't hear God when you never stop. The day-to-day of running a business and a family will fill every hour you give it, and then some. The only way I've found to stay clear is to build the space in before the chaos arrives.
30
The Idol of Fear: How to Fight for Hope When the Storm Feels Unending
Fear steals hope. Every time I turn on a mic, the anxiety is there. I'm terrified of giving it everything I have and having it not be enough. That hasn't changed. What's changed is what I do with it.
29
The Idol of Comfort: What God Strips Away Before He Builds Something New
Twenty years in the same place. Same church, same community, same friends, same job. I thought I was happy. My soul was suffocating and I didn't know it.
28
The Idol of Money: Breaking a Scarcity Mindset and Learning to Give Before You Feel Ready
I told myself I'd be generous when I had enough. Enough never quite arrived. Life was going by. The opportunities to give were passing. And God sent Elijah to a widow who had one meal left.
27
The Idol of Ambition: Building for Yourself Instead of God's Glory
I wanted to be significant. I wanted to be valued. I wanted stages and recognition. And for years I wanted all of it for me, not for God. That's the idol of ambition.
26
The Idol of Pride: When Accomplishments Harden Our Heart
Pride doesn't feel like an idol because it comes from real things. The more accomplished I became, the more confident, the more disconnected. The faster I judged. I didn't see it happening.
25
The Idol of Advice: When Business Experts Drown Out God's Voice
One course. Then a webinar. Then a masterclass. Then a three-day challenge. Six months in, I couldn't tell you what I believed about any of it. I had lost myself completely in everyone else's answers.
24
The Idol of Approval: When Metrics and Likes Matter More Than Obedience
Six months of posting every day across five platforms, running ads, doing all the things the algorithm said to do, and getting nothing back. I didn't even deserve the engagement, because what I was putting out wasn't actually me.
23
The Idol of Control: Trying to Force God's Plan on Your Timeline
I had a God-given calling and I pursued it entirely in my own strength, on my own timeline, for my own reasons. God didn't open those doors. Not because the dream was wrong. Because the heart behind it was.
22
The Idol of Your Own Strength: Relying on Hustle Instead of God
You can be praying every day and still be relying entirely on yourself. I did it for six months after moving to Alaska: grinding 12-hour days, trying every platform, running ads, attending online conferences, crying out to God for answers while steamrolling ahead in my own strength.
21
When Your Business Becomes an Idol
If you can just get the business working, everything else will fall into place. That's what I believed, and it cost me more than the business was worth.
20
Idols in Entrepreneurship: When Good Things Take God's Place
You can be praying every day, reading the Bible, doing all the right things, and still be running your business on the wrong foundation. I've done exactly that, more times than I want to admit.
19
How to Know When God Is Preparing You for a New Season
You can be aligned, growing, producing real fruit, and still feel something shift underneath you. That quiet awareness isn't anxiety. It might be God preparing you for what's next.
7
What Meaningful Work Really Is and Why It Matters
You can work for a great company, make decent money, have reasonable hours, and still feel like something is slowly dying inside you at work. That feeling has a name. And it's telling you something important.
6
My Journey to Building an Authentic Brand
Clear Authentic Brands wasn't born because I had authenticity figured out. It was born because I didn't. This is the story I was afraid to tell, and why I finally stopped trying to build a business that left that story out.
