Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

Hey Winner,

Sometimes the hardest decisions in business aren’t between something good and something bad. They’re between two good options.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real and recent experience where I had to walk through that tension, losing a significant source of income and then being presented with a new opportunity that made complete sense on paper… but didn’t feel right in my spirit.

We’re talking about how to discern when a good opportunity is actually aligned for your current season and when it might be a distraction from what you’re being called into instead. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to say yes just because something looks like the “right” move, this episode will help you slow down and listen a little deeper.

Hey Winner,

It’s easy to assume that growth in business means more: more revenue, more clients, more complexity. But what if that’s not actually what you want?

In this episode, we’re taking a step back to look at what it really means to build a business that aligns with your values, your capacity, and your current season of life. Because sustainable growth isn’t just about getting bigger, it’s about building something that actually fits.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow in a way that doesn’t feel right, this conversation will help you redefine what success can look like for you.

Hey Winner,

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dave Jones to talk about something many faith-driven entrepreneurs wrestle with quietly: how to market your business in a way that actually aligns with your mission and values.

We explore how well-meaning business owners can drift into pressure-based or fear-driven marketing without realizing it, and how faith-based strategies can bring clarity, peace, and consistency back into the way you build and communicate your brand.

If you’ve ever felt tension between growing your business and honoring God with how you show up, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

This episode is especially for entrepreneurs who want their marketing to reflect their calling, not just their ambition.

Hey Winner,

I’m inviting you into a heart-to-heart coffee chat where I share a few raw pieces of my journey: from pushing through the hustle to learning how to slow down and plan with God, not just for Him.

I talk about the injury that forced me to stop, the 12-week program I built but never launched, and how stepping away from social media led to the most surprising growth in my business.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or unsure if you’re even on the right track, this is for you. I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone and that God’s pace is always enough.

LISTEN TO HEAR:

• How God used an unexpected injury to stop me in my tracks and teach me the difference between hustle and holy obedience.
• The story behind a fully planned program I never launched — and why listening to God's “not right now” saved me from unnecessary burnout.
• Why choosing obedience over visibility (like stepping away from social media) led to the most surprising and sustainable business growth I’ve ever seen.
