Wisdom’s Table With Rachel Wortman

126. Finding Peace: How to Release, Enter, and Satisfy in God's Presence

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I invite you to dive deep into the transformative power of rest as a spiritual strategy. After a fiery discussion in last week's episode, today we shift gears to explore a more soothing yet profound topic: the importance of rest in our Christian lives.
I begin by addressing the common struggles many of us face like feeling tired, overwhelmed, and unable to quiet our minds long enough to hear God's voice. I emphasize that rest is not merely a physical necessity but a vital component for restoring our souls. Many of us confuse rest with inactivity or laziness, believing that if we stop working, everything will fall apart. However, I challenge this notion by highlighting that true rest is a biblical principle and a source of strength.
Throughout the episode, I introduce an acronym for REST: Release, Enter, Satisfy, Together. Each component is essential for understanding how to engage with God and find true peace.
 
Also, I want to personally invite you to my new coaching community. Check out the Kingdom Leaders Community HERE

124. The Cost of Doubt: How Double-Mindedness Sabotages Your Calling

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that quietly sabotages many Christian entrepreneurs: double-mindedness. I felt compelled to share this prophetic word, knowing that many of us have experienced the tension between faith and fear at various points in our lives.
We explore how double-mindedness shows up. Not through a lack of talent or opportunity, but as a split between believing in God's provision while simultaneously worrying about our decisions. This internal conflict can cost us peace, money, and momentum in our callings. I emphasize that God is not vague, and the Holy Spirit is not confusing; therefore, we shouldn't feel the need to hedge our bets when it comes to our faith.
I reference James 1:5-8, which highlights the importance of asking God for wisdom in faith without doubting. I clarify that doubt, in this biblical context, is more than mere skepticism; it can lead to a state of double-mindedness, which is essentially doubt that has taken root. I break down the concept of double-mindedness, explaining that it can be characterized by a weak will, divided interests, and a lack of commitment to our faith.

122. Unmasking the 7 Spiritual Weapons Against Your Wallet

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I wrap up our Money Month series with a powerful discussion on the seven weapons against your wallet. As a coach for Christian entrepreneurs, I’ve seen firsthand how spiritual battles can impact our finances, and I believe it’s crucial to address these issues head-on.
We begin by exploring the idea that financial struggles may not just be about practical circumstances but can also be deeply spiritual. I reference my book, The Money Mandate, where I outline the seven spirits that wage war against our peace, provision, and purpose. These spirits not only affect our finances but also distort our mindsets, divide our relationships, and disconnect us from God’s flow of abundance.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of discernment. You cannot win a war you don’t realize you’re in, and understanding these spiritual attacks is essential for claiming financial freedom. I encourage listeners to grab their Bibles and join me as we uncover these seven weapons, aiming to awaken discernment rather than instill fear.

120. Five Transformative Money Mindsets Every Christian Should Embrace

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I’m excited to continue our theme for October, which I’m calling Money Month. As we dive into the often-taboo topic of finances, I want to address a common reality among Christians: many of us are either silently struggling or secretly striving when it comes to money. Despite our love for God, our tithing, and our prayers for provision, we often find ourselves grappling with the same financial fears and pressures as the world around us.
Today, we’re exploring five money mindsets every Christian needs to carry. These aren’t just fluffy affirmations or prosperity clichés; they are rooted in biblical truth and can transform the way you view your finances. The five pillars we’ll discuss are contentment, growth, surrender, generosity, and legacy. These mindsets are essential for building kingdom wealth that not only blesses your family but also has the potential to change the world.

118. Breaking the Budget Barrier: 6 Common Mistakes Christians Make

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often misunderstood world of budgeting, particularly from a Christian perspective. Many people view budgeting solely as a numbers game, but I challenge that notion by emphasizing that it’s as much about mindset as it is about math. Throughout the month, we’re exploring various aspects of money, and today, I focus on how to master budgeting supernaturally by inviting God into our financial decisions.
I begin by discussing the common misconception that budgeting is about restriction. Instead, I propose that a supernatural budget is a tool for revelation and strategy, designed to align our spending, saving, and sowing with God's order rather than our desires or anxieties. I share my personal experiences with clients who struggle with the restrictive feelings associated with budgeting and highlight the importance of understanding the "why" behind our financial goals.
Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to invite God into their budgeting process, asking for wisdom and discernment. I emphasize that budgeting is not just about surviving financially but mastering our resources in a way that honors God and aligns with His plans for our lives.
