If you can't put your phone down, can't take a day off, and feel like the whole thing would dry up without you — this episode names exactly what's happening.
Shay unpacks one of the most clarifying biblical frameworks for entrepreneurship she's found: the contrast in Deuteronomy 11 between Egypt farming and Promised Land farming. In Egypt, you sustain everything manually — if you stop watering for even a day, it dies. In the Promised Land, God's eye is on it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and He provides the rain. She applies that contrast directly to two ways of building a business, names the signs that you're operating in Egypt mode even if your business looks successful from the outside, and shows what it looks like to resurrender it to the God who actually wants to be in the weeds with you.
It is not too late to invite God into what you've already built — and this episode shows you how to start today.
