165. 7 Phases Of Supernatural Success In Your Business

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to dive into a topic that is often overlooked in the realms of entrepreneurship and business coaching: the spiritual weight of building a business as a follower of Jesus. As Christian entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves grappling with the heaviness that can accompany the very opportunities we prayed for and believed were part of our calling. But what if that weight is not a sign of something going wrong, but rather a part of the process of expansion?
Throughout my years of coaching, I have observed that Christian entrepreneurs typically navigate through a series of phases as God grows their leadership and businesses. I call this framework the Seven Phases of Supernatural Success. In this episode, I will walk you through each of these phases, helping you understand what it means to partner your life and business with God, and ultimately, how to become a Supernatural CEO.

161. When Your Desire For Clarity Is Actually Something Else

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that has been weighing heavily on my heart as a pastor and a coach: the difference between seeking clarity and needing courage. As someone who specializes in helping individuals find their footing in both faith and business, I often encounter clients who come to me seeking clarity on their next steps. However, I’ve come to realize that sometimes, that deep desire for clarity is masking an entirely different need.
