136. On Mondays We Pray: The Business Owner's Prayer

Kick off your week praying over your business with my entrepreneur's prayer:
 
 
Want a copy of the prayer? Grab it below:
 Father, in the name of Jesus, I want to thank you for entrusting me with this business, with this assignment, with this stewardship, and this opportunity to reveal your kingdom on the earth through the work of my hands. Today, Lord, I bring it all before you, my dreams, my deadlines, my numbers, my people, my pressure that I'm under. 
I choose to surrender it again, because I know this isn't just my business. I know it's our business together. And I know ultimately it is your business, Jesus. So Lord align my heart with your vision. Remind me why you called me to this work in the first place. Strip away the noise, the striving and the comparison. and let my motives be purified by your presence. Where I've been running in circles, Holy Spirit, bring me clarity. Where I've been carrying too much, Holy Spirit, bring me interest. Where I've been afraid to trust you, Holy Spirit, bring me courage. Where I've been blind to opportunity, open my eyes to see how you are already moving. 
Father, I ask for wisdom, supernatural wisdom to build what lasts, to build something eternal. Let my strategies be guided by heaven, not pressure and not the ways of the world. Show me which doors to close and which ones to walk through boldly. Jesus, give me discernment to recognize your divine timing and your divine partnerships that you have for me. Father, bless the work of my hands and the people connected to this work. Let this business create value. Let it bring dignity to others. Let it bring peace for every person that it touches. Let generosity and integrity be the atmosphere of everything we do in this business, God. 
When I'm tempted to measure success by numbers alone, remind me, Lord, that fruitfulness is about obedience. Remind me that provision flows through purpose. And remind me that I'm not striving for your favor, I'm building from it. Jesus, expand my capacity to carry what you're entrusting to me. Help me to lead with love, manage with grace, and dream with bold faith. Teach me to rest even while I'm growing, to trust even when it's tight, and to see every obstacle as an invitation to partner with you deeper. Holy Spirit, fill this business with your presence. Let peace mark my decisions, let excellence mark my execution, and let joy mark this journey. May everything I build point back to you, Lord. May every win become worship, and may my work on earth echo in eternity. 
In Jesus' name, amen. 

135. Unlocking Business Growth: 5 Essential Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Ask

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship and business ownership, addressing a common misconception that many business owners have: the belief that success is solely about how much they do. Instead, I emphasize that true success begins with clarity. Specifically, how clearly we see the problems we face and the solutions we can implement.
I liken the experience of owning a business to an episode of the classic show American Gladiator, where the challenges can feel overwhelming and daunting. With constant decisions to make and problems to solve, it’s easy to feel stressed and stuck. However, I reveal that what separates thriving entrepreneurs from those who feel overwhelmed is often the questions they ask. The right questions can uncover hidden obstacles and bottlenecks that hinder growth.
Throughout the episode, I present five essential questions that every business owner needs to answer to elevate their business to the next level. These questions are designed to expose what may be holding you back and to help you build from a place of overflow rather than overwhelm.

133. 7 Core Truths of Kingdom Identity: Embracing Who God Says You Are

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to dive deep into a topic that has been on my heart for quite some time: kingdom identity. I begin by posing a question I've been thinking on: What if your current life is not a reflection of your potential, but rather a reflection of what you believe about who you are? This question sets the stage for our exploration of identity and its profound impact on every aspect of our lives.
Throughout the episode, I share insights from my experience coaching individuals, revealing that many people struggle not with discipline, but with understanding their true identity in Christ. When we fail to recognize who we are in Him, we often find ourselves living reactively rather than from a place of revelation. I emphasize that aligning our identity with heaven can transform our mindset, relationships, and even our financial situations.

131. Mental Load Management: Thriving in the Busiest Month of the Year

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into the often overwhelming experience of December, a month that can feel both beautiful and brutal. As a mom of four, I share my personal struggles with the mental load that comes with juggling family commitments, holiday expectations, and the demands of running a business. I discuss the concept of mental load—an invisible weight that encompasses the decisions, reminders, and emotional energy required to manage our lives and the people we care about.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of recognizing our current capacity and honoring the season we are in. I encourage listeners to slow down and let go of the pressure to be superhuman, reminding them that if God has called us to something, we have the capacity for it, even if we can't do it all at once. I outline three key strategies to help manage the mental load and maintain peace during this busy time.

130. Unlocking Spiritual Power: Five Hidden Powers of Thanksgiving in Your Life

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Wisdom's Table, Rachel Wortman delves into the transformative power of gratitude and its profound impact on our lives as Christians. As we gather around the table to celebrate this holiday, I want to shift our focus from the traditional elements of Thanksgiving—like turkey, pie, and football—to the spiritual power that the act of giving thanks can unlock in our lives.
Throughout the episode, we explore five hidden powers that Thanksgiving activates, emphasizing that these are not just feel-good sentiments but essential spiritual strategies that can reshape our hearts and minds. We begin by discussing how Thanksgiving opens the gate to God's presence, illustrating this with powerful scriptures such as Psalm 100:4-5 and Philippians 4:6-7. We emphasize that the act of giving thanks is a key that allows us to enter into a deeper relationship with God, inviting His presence into our lives.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, delve into the exciting yet often daunting journey of bringing God-sized ideas to life. We explore the moments when God drops a profound idea into our spirits. Ideas that feel expansive, electric, and capable of changing lives. However, the initial excitement can quickly turn into trepidation as we confront the reality of our limitations and the challenges of execution.
I emphasize that while receiving a prophetic word or idea is relatively easy, the real challenge lies in the stewardship and leadership required to manifest that idea into reality. To help you navigate this process, I outline four wise steps to take when you receive a God-sized idea.
