Faith-Driven Entrepreneurs often ask how to bring belief into business without pushing customers away. Many of us learned to keep faith quiet—especially in corporate. Entrepreneurship hands you a microphone. Now what?
In this week’s She Sells Differently, Nadine Murray (She Elevates Media; Women Faith + Business) shares how a single “40 Days of Prayer for My Business” event shifted her from traditional marketer to faith-forward founder. The outcome wasn’t just bolder messaging—it was clarity, peace, and better strategy.
Courage is a discipline, not a mood
“Be bold and courageous” is operating guidance for Faith-Driven Entrepreneurs. Bold means posting the message that names Jesus. Courage means defending your calendar boundaries. Pushback may follow (John 15:18–19), but alignment beats approval.
Character over coins (and why prosperity still matters)
God shapes character first; revenue is a tool. Yet resources in the right hands change communities. Pursue excellence and profit while letting obedience lead the how.
Your unfair advantage: being Spirit-led
Playbooks and coaches help—until they replace listening. Faith-Driven Entrepreneurs ask, “Holy Spirit, what’s today’s strategy?” Biblical “God strategies” rarely look efficient on paper (Gideon, Jericho), yet obedience is leverage.
Rest as a growth strategy
Hustle says grind; Kingdom strategy says Sabbath. Your sharpest copy and cleanest offers surface when you’re rested—on a walk, during a shower, or after a true day off.
A simple morning routine: PRAYED
Adopt a daily CEO meeting with God
(credit: Shae Bynes, Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur):
- P—Praise: Begin with gratitude.
- R—Review/Reflect: What has God already asked you to do?
- A—Ask: Specific questions on messaging, pricing, collaborations.
- Y—Yield: Hold your calendar loosely; edit as led.
- E—Engage Scripture: Sit with one verse; journal insights.
- D—Declare/Decree: Speak a truth from that verse over your day.
A mindset you’ll remember: BEST
- Belief: In God, yourself, and the mission He gave you.
- Energy: Show up with steady, resilient energy.
- Spirit-Led: Let the Holy Spirit inform priorities and tactics.
