170. On Mondays We Pray: For Who You Are Becoming

This week's prayer time is for every entrepreneur who has been quietly carrying the weight of who they think they're supposed to become.
The hustle version. The polished version. The version that finally has it all together.
God isn't waiting for that person. He's calling the one who's already here.
In this prayer, we come before Him and release the shame that has attached itself to our becoming. The gap between where we are and where we're going was never meant to be a place of condemnation. It's a place of formation.
If you've been striving to show up as someone you're not quite yet, this one is for you.
Grab a quiet moment, open your hands, and let's pray together.

169. Finding Your Flow: How to Leverage Your Unique Brain for Success In Business

What does your business really need from you? Who do you need to become to lead your business well?
YOUR NEXT STEPS
In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, dive deep into the unique challenges and strengths of right-brained creatives and chaotic entrepreneurs navigating a predominantly left-brained world. I aim to empower those who often feel out of place in traditional business environments, while also offering valuable insights for left-brained thinkers.
We begin by exploring the fundamental differences between right-brained and left-brained thinking. Right-brained individuals tend to excel in abstract thinking and creativity, while left-brained thinkers often thrive in structured, linear problem-solving. I emphasize that creativity exists in various forms, and both types of thinkers have their own unique contributions to make in the business landscape.

167. The Supernatural CEO Approach: A Manifesto For Christians In Business

Ready to become a Supernatural CEO? CLICK HERE 
In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into the concept of being a Supernatural CEO, building on the discussions from last week's episode. I share what I consider to be the Supernatural CEO manifesto—a collection of 8 characteristics that I believe God wants us to embody as we navigate the business world.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of integrating the spiritual and emotional aspects of business leadership, which are often overlooked. I reflect on my own experiences in ministry and how they relate to the challenges faced in the business realm.
I discuss the inevitable trials and tribulations that come with leadership. Things like feelings of betrayal, lack of resources, and moments of loneliness. These experiences are not just obstacles; they are intentional processes designed by God to refine our character and prepare us for the responsibilities of leadership.

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.
