Are you familiar with the phrase, “this is your mission, should you choose to accept it”?  The phrase came from the popular television show, Mission Impossible.  On this episode of the Women Faith + Business Podcast we changed the phrase slightly to say, “this is your mission, if you choose to accept it and you take the time to birth it!”.  I had a powerful conversation with Megan Bruiners all about birthing your mission. We have all been given a mission (something that we are assigned to do while we are here on earth), but it’s up to us to accept it and birth it.

  • How she experienced an identity crisis
  • How 2 Corinthian [5:16] was key to her baptism
  • The importance of being clear on your mission and your mandate and being confident in your message
  • It’s one thing to be authentic, but it’s a whole other thing to walk in your authority
  • How making decisions can be over spiritualized
  • Make peace with uncertainty
  • Spiritual disciplines to know you are in alignment with God, fast and pray, prayer journaling,
  • Be comfortable with the painful process
  • Be a good steward in the waiting

    5 Powerful Faith-based Impactful Business Books

    As believers in business, finding faith-based resources that can help for both your business and your faith is key. I enjoy listening to faith-based podcasts and reading faith-based business books. 

    This week on the blog I’m sharing 5 powerful faith-based business books that can impact your life and your business. Be sure to share the faith-based business books that have impact you in the comments below:

    This book starts of by questioning, “What Leads You?”, such a powerful question. Are you being led by coaches, gurus, and experts and not heeding to your inner guidance (the Holy Spirit)? Here are some key points from the book:

    • The first way God leads you is through His Word.
    • The second fundamental way God leads you is through His Holy Spirit
    •  God has already revealed to the Spirit all His wisdom and plans for you and your business. 
    • Sometimes God’s instructions through the Spirit makes no logical sense.
    • The Spirit should always be your #1 Business Advisor, Consultant, and Coach
    • Everything you do in business is all about your heart. It’s all about how you allow God to influence, impact and mold your heart for His glory.
    • You must trust what you hear through your inner knowing and not doubt
    • The Holy Spirit prompts you from the inside. The enemy tries to pressure you from the outside. Your inside must always override the outside voices with your inside Spirit.

    This books starts by stating that Jesus is the most effective marketer in history. Jesus has provided the greatest model for you to influence the world around you. It may be hard to think about Jesus as a “marketer”, but the strategies and concepts outlined in the book may help you to think differently. Here are key points from the book:

    • Marketers who influence like Jesus will restore what humanity is lacking or has lost altogether
    • By focusing on what people need deep down, not merely on the features of your product or service, people will begin to see the tremendous value you are creating 
    • Your influence will grow as you become more specific about who you are targeting 
    • It is impossible to target a group without studying and knowing its members 
    • Jesus considered every person as a potential beneficiary of what he was offering – not just his target group of Jewish outcasts. 
    • Be sure to think BIG while you are targeting SMALL 
    • Jesus kept his core message clear 
    • Logic affects thinking. Emotions affect behavior 
    • Public speaking was a massive part of Jesus’ marketing strategy 
    • For Jesus, marketing was a collaborative process that required a team effort and a shared vision 
    • The more you embody your message, staying true to your principles, the more effective you will become 
    • Marketing is a spiritual endeavor 
    • Like Jesus, we have an opportunity to market more than products and services. We have the privilege of spreading messages that can transform people’s lives.

    This book starts by defining a Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur as a person whose entrepreneurial endeavor is motivated by seeing an increase of the Kingdom of God on earth, and is propelled forward by seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Some of the key points from the book include:

    • God is the Ultimate Chief Operating Officer
    • The Bible show us that to experience God’s best, we should be driven by the Kingdom of God and led by the Spirit of God
    • As a Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, your ministry is business, and your business is ministry
    • The eternal impact is transformational impact on individuals, families, industries, and communities
    • The God of the Universe desires to have a personal and intimate relationship with you
    • Intimacy is everything and is the foundation of your operations as a Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur.
    • Your success is found in operating your business in both faith and obedience to God, empowered by Holy Spirit and motivated by love.
    • Radical faith and radical obedience is the lifestyle of a Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur and the key to success in Kingdom business
    • Heaven’s economy beats the world’s economy every single time
    • He is the source, and everything else is a resource
    • In the Kingdom of God, you’re not an owner. You are a steward (or manager) of what belongs to God.
    • The reality of what you do not see is greater than the reality of what you see
    • Whenever God extends an invitation to you, the answer should be “Yes Lord!”
    • God is not only interested in seeing the vision He placed on your heart for your business to thrive in service to others, but He also desires for you (and your family) to thrive as well

    The book starts off with the concept that in the world of entrepreneurship, hustle and grind is a celebrated way of life and how the hustle-and-grind culture works in opposition to Kingdom culture because it is not in alignment with the mindset, heart, and ways of Jesus Christ, the sovereign and ruling King of the Kingdom. Here are some key points from the book:

    • You don’t have to strive endlessly to make things happen with the dream God placed on your heart for your business. You simply need God’s empowering presence, and everything else will flow from there.
    • By God’s grace, you are able to do extraordinary things, have supernatural results, and make an eternal impact through your business
    • The grind is a spiritual stronghold
    • Allow God to reveal and to heal the areas in your soul operating against His best for your life and for your business
    • In God’s grace, there is access to heaven’s resources, divine strategies and insights, answers to seemingly impossible problems, His rest, unforced rhythm, and a level of favor that could only be orchestrated by Him
    • The most important meetings you can have in your business are the ones you have with God.
    • He’s the Source, everything and everyone is a resource
    • Make plans but yield them to God
    • Business meetings with God are not just about talking but about abiding and intentional listening.
    • I can trust that He will lead me to the opportunities that align with His purpose and plan for my life
    • You are a divine connection for others, and others are divine connections for you: these God-orchestrated connections are adders, multipliers, and often exponential multipliers for seeing the good works we have been called to come to fruition
    • You do not always reap where you sow, with whom you sow, or even how you sow, but you will surely reap what you sow.
    • His best, which exceeds all you can ever ask, think, or even imagine!
    • You’re most likely to see divine favor manifest in your life when you’re aligned with His purpose
    • God uses imperfect and unlikely people to accomplish extraordinary things. All He needs is a surrendered and willing heart
    • Eternal ROI refers to transformational impact and influence for the Kingdom of God in lives of others, your local community, or even in your industry.
    • Financial ROI refers to the profitability you are called to have the capacity to steward
    • Partner with God to advance His way of being and His way of doing things through the marketplace
    • In order to experience God’s best, you will have to embrace God’s process.
    • God will ultimately cause all things to work together for our good
    • God has called you to create with Him, not solely to respond to His instructions
    • You don’t have to do this. You get to do this!

    The book starts off by defining Faith Driven Entrepreneurs as men and women who are starting companies and building businesses with a belief in Jesus Christ and an understanding of themselves as beloved children of God as their core identity. The book goes on to explain what it takes to step into your purpose and pursue your God-given calling. Some key points from the book include:

    • God has a purpose and a plan for the entrepreneurial ventures his people are starting and growing all around the world
    • As people we are working to create, alongside the master Creator, businesses and enterprises that bring him glory through their mission, their return, and their practices.
    • Entrepreneurs have a unique opportunity to step into a purpose that is aligned with who God is and how God has made them.
    • Entrepreneurship provides a place where you get to commune with God through the creative process
    • The only way to experience life as an entrepreneur in the way God designed it is to place our entire identity in him and to view ourselves as stewards of whatever he has put in our hands.
    • Partnership demands ultimate transparency and vulnerability.
    • God’s wisdom and God’s plan are better than anything we could come up with
    • When we work, we feel God’s pleasure
    • In addition to honoring God by showing peace, gratitude, and thankfulness, we can also honor him in our diligence, perseverance, and faithfulness
    • Integrity comes from aligning our thoughts, words, and actions. And when we live lives of integrity — keeping our inner principles in line with our outward actions — we are living out the calling God has placed on our lives.
    • When we stop pretending like we have everything under control and start showing others the truth, our lives become a walking witness to the God we worship
    • The what of your business is less important than the why. And the why is so that God would be glorified in all of it.
    • Personal experience and story are two of the most powerful means of communication
    • The gospel has traveled around the world faster on the wings of business than it has even through apostolic effort.
    • Remember the skills, ambitions, and dreams you have are not accidental. God gave them to you!
