The Business Bible: Nicholas Leone Pt. 2

The Lies That Keep You Small

In this episode, Ed explores one of the most overlooked moments in Scripture—the spies who saw themselves as "grasshoppers" in the presence of giants. Their greatest enemy wasn't the giants standing before them; it was the fear and false identity growing within them. Building on the biblical themes of Genesis 6 and Numbers 13, Ed examines how intimidation, trauma, and generational patterns can shape the way we see ourselves, keeping us from walking into God's promises. He explains how strongholds are formed through lies, why the enemy targets our identity, and how spiritual warfare begins in the mind long before it manifests in our circumstances. You'll also hear practical biblical teaching on overcoming inherited thought patterns, breaking agreement with fear, standing on the finished work of Christ, and using God's Word to tear down strongholds. If you've ever felt unqualified, trapped by your past, or intimidated by the size of the obstacles in front of you, this conversation is a reminder that God has not called you to live like a grasshopper. He has called you to possess the land He has promised. Your past does not determine your future. Your trauma does not define your identity. The battle begins with believing who God says you are. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Prosperity Is Biblical

Money is one of the most controversial topics in the Church—and one of the most talked-about topics in Scripture. In this passionate and unscripted episode, Ed challenges common religious mindsets surrounding wealth, prosperity, and the role believers should play in the marketplace. Drawing from biblical principles, he explores why Jesus spoke so frequently about money, the true meaning of serving God versus serving mammon, and how financial influence can be used to advance the Kingdom of God. This conversation goes beyond dollars and cents, diving into what biblical prosperity really looks like: strong families, healthy relationships, purpose, stewardship, impact, and generational blessing. If you've ever wrestled with questions like: • Does God want Christians to be wealthy? • Is prosperity biblical? • What does it mean to trust God instead of money? • How can believers influence the marketplace and culture? Then this episode will challenge you to rethink what you've been taught and encourage you to step into the purpose God has for your life. This isn't a message about chasing riches—it's a message about breaking poverty mindsets, embracing stewardship, and becoming an influence for the Kingdom in a world that desperately needs truth. Watch now and discover how faith, purpose, and prosperity intersect in God's design for His people. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Tools

What tools has God given us to overcome spiritual battles, break destructive patterns, and fulfill our purpose on earth? In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed explores one of the most important weapons available to every believer: the renewed mind. Drawing from Scripture, he explains how unresolved issues such as fear, bitterness, anger, shame, and unrepentant sin can become footholds for spiritual attacks, creating strongholds that keep us trapped in old ways of thinking. But God has not left us defenseless. Through passages from Ephesians, Romans, Psalms, Corinthians, Isaiah, Joshua, and more, Ed reveals how the Word of God dismantles the lies we've believed about ourselves and replaces them with God's truth. When we learn to take our thoughts captive, reject the enemy's accusations, and embrace our identity in Christ, our minds are transformed and our lives begin to change. Discover how strongholds can either be fortresses for the enemy or places of refuge in God, why renewing your mind is essential to spiritual growth, and how understanding what God says about you can unlock freedom, confidence, peace, and purpose. If you've ever struggled with negative thought patterns, feelings of inadequacy, fear about the future, or questions about your identity, this episode will encourage you to stand on God's promises and walk in the calling He has placed on your life. Your breakthrough may begin with a single truth: believing what God says about you instead of what the world—or your past—has told you.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The First Born

What happens after death? Is heaven the final destination, or is there more to the story? In this powerful episode, Ed Fernandez explores one of the most overlooked yet foundational truths of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ as the Firstborn from the dead.

Through personal reflection and biblical teaching, this conversation challenges listeners to move beyond religious tradition and examine the reality of their relationship with Jesus. You'll discover why the resurrection is central to the Gospel, what it means to live with eternity in mind, and why the choices we make today carry eternal significance. Whether you're a longtime believer, someone wrestling with questions about faith, or simply curious about what the Bible teaches regarding life after death, this episode offers a sobering yet hope-filled message about God's love, salvation, and His desire that none should perish. Join us as we discuss the hope of the resurrection, the reality of eternity, the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, and the invitation that Jesus extends to every person who is willing to say yes to Him. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Consecration

What does it really mean to be consecrated? In this powerful episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we dive deep into the process of becoming fully set apart for God — not just in words, but in mind, body, spirit, habits, and daily living. Through Romans 12:1, 1 Corinthians 6, Psalms 24, and other foundational scriptures, we unpack the five levels of consecration and how each stage closes doors to the enemy while drawing you closer to God’s power and purpose.  This conversation confronts the hidden battles many believers face: stinking thinking, victim mentalities, distractions, lust, bitterness, unforgiveness, spiritual stagnation, and the constant attacks of the enemy designed to keep us trapped in false identities. We discuss how consecration is not about perfection or religious performance, but about allowing the Holy Spirit to purify every area of our lives so we can walk in true authority, dominion, and intimacy with God.  If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck spiritually, why certain cycles keep repeating, or why advancement with God feels distant, this episode will challenge and encourage you to keep climbing higher. God created you for a purpose, and the enemy’s goal is to keep you from realizing who you truly are. But through surrender, discipline, and obedience, the attacks lose their grip, your confidence in Christ grows, and you begin stepping into the calling God designed specifically for your life.  Don’t quit in the middle of the process. The fire of consecration may be uncomfortable, but it produces clarity, boldness, freedom, spiritual sensitivity, and deeper trust with God. This episode is a reminder that you are not a mistake — you are a son or daughter of the King, called to make an impact on earth right now. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
