08. How to Know If God Is Actually Behind Your Business
Season 1
Episode 8
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
If you've ever wondered whether God is actually in your business — or whether you just built something and hoped He'd bless it — this episode gives you a framework to find out.
Shay walks through five of her own businesses and the very different origin stories behind each one, then asks the question every Christian entrepreneur eventually faces: Does God have specific plans for my business, or is it really just up to me? She unpacks what Scripture says about God's predetermined purposes, what it looks like when He's actively in something versus opposing it, and how your work connects to the one thing He's been doing since the beginning. You'll leave with three practical strategies to align your business with what He's actually doing in the world.
If this is the question you've been sitting with, send it to another entrepreneur who needs to hear it this week.
