Hey Christian Entrepreneur, Let’s Talk Kingdom Growth
Starting and growing a business is no small feat. You’ve probably faced moments of doubt, seasons of struggle, and maybe even questioned if you’re truly called to be in business. But here’s the truth: God cares about your business. And not just as a side project—He wants it to flourish and be a light in the marketplace.
So, how do we build a business that honors God while also making a real impact and, yes, bringing in revenue? Let’s break it down.
The Purpose Behind Your Business Matters
It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind—launching products, securing clients, marketing on social media—but have you ever paused to ask, Why am I doing this? If you’re building your business just to make money, you might be missing a bigger purpose.
Colossians 3:23 reminds us: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” That means our businesses are not just about personal success—they’re a ministry, a platform, and a means to serve others.
Faith & Strategy: They Go Hand in Hand
Some Christian entrepreneurs rely solely on prayer, believing God will “make it happen.” Others operate purely on hustle, treating faith as an afterthought. The truth? We need both.
Here’s a faith-driven approach to business growth:
✅ Pray, but also Plan. Seek God’s wisdom in your business decisions, but also create strategies for growth. Faith and action go together.
✅ Trust, but also Take Action. Yes, God provides, but He also gives you skills, resources, and opportunities to steward wisely.
✅ Serve, but also Sell. Business is about serving others, but that doesn’t mean you give everything away for free. Earning money isn’t unholy—it’s how you sustain impact.
Faithful Marketing: Selling Without Losing Your Soul
Marketing often gets a bad rap, especially among Christian entrepreneurs who don’t want to seem “salesy.” But let’s be real—you can’t help people if they don’t know you exist! So how do we promote our businesses in a way that aligns with our faith?
✅ Tell the truth. No exaggerations, no misleading claims. Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ (Matthew 5:37).
✅ Lead with value.Focus on serving first, whether through content, free resources, or simply being helpful.
✅ Build relationships, not just revenue. Business isn’t just transactions; it’s connections.
Handling Success & Setbacks with a Kingdom Mindset
Let’s be honest—not every season is easy. Some months, clients flow in like a flood. Other times, crickets. But our peace isn’t tied to sales numbers—it’s rooted in Christ.
When success comes: Stay humble. Deuteronomy 8:18 says, “Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Acknowledge where your blessings come from.
When struggles hit: Stay faithful. God doesn’t abandon us when business is slow. Sometimes, He’s refining us, teaching patience, or preparing us for something greater.
Final Thoughts: Build Boldly, Trust Fully
Your business isn’t just a means to make money—it’s a calling. Whether you’re selling products, offering services, or running a nonprofit, God has positioned you in the marketplace for a reason.
So, move forward boldly. Work hard, market ethically, serve well, and trust that God is in every step.
