Leadership Without Employees? Here's What I Learned

Leadership Without Employees? Here's What I Learned

Chapters about managing employees didn't seem very useful for a solo business owner—until I realized they weren't really about employees at all. In this episode of our Godly Business Leadership series, we're exploring what Scripture teaches about stewardship, influence, and leadership long before you ever hire a team. Whether you're a freelancer, consultant, coach, or small business owner, leadership begins with faithfully stewarding the people and opportunities God has already placed in front of you.

Would You Choose Your Spouse Over Your Business?

Busy season has a funny way of becoming... just life. In this episode, we're talking about one of the hardest questions every entrepreneur has to answer: Would you choose your spouse over your business? Inspired by Chapter 6 of Leadership Not By The Book, we'll explore what Scripture says about work, family, and success—and why God may care a lot more about how we treat the people we love than how successful our businesses become. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Have you ever struggled to keep your business from becoming your highest priority? 📖 Get the Book ➡️ https://amzn.to/4vIKyuM [https://amzn.to/4vIKyuM]

Business Legacy | Not What You Think It Is

What if your business legacy has nothing to do with building an empire? When I started reading this chapter from Leadership Not by the Book, I honestly assumed it wasn't written for someone like me—a solo business owner with no plans to build a company that lasts for generations. But God completely reframed what legacy really means. In this episode, we're exploring how our everyday interactions, our faith, and our willingness to obey God may leave a much greater impact than the size or longevity of our businesses. 📖 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:5–9 (NLT) 📚 Summer Series: Leadership Not by the Book ➡️ https://amzn.to/4vIKyuM [https://amzn.to/4vIKyuM] If you've ever wondered whether your small business can make an eternal impact, I hope this conversation encourages you. 👍 If this episode encouraged you, I'd love it if you'd like, subscribe, and share it with another business owner.

Only What You Do for God Will Last Forever

Only what you do for God will last for eternity. That quote from Leadership Not by the Book by David Green stopped me in my tracks and led me to ask a difficult question: What activities are consuming my attention right now that won't matter in 100 years? In this episode of the Faith & Focus Podcast, we're continuing our summer series on Godly Business Leadership and exploring how our priorities shape the way we lead, serve, and interact with others through our businesses. Whether you're a solopreneur, freelancer, coach, consultant, or small business owner, this conversation is an invitation to examine what truly deserves your focus. Question for you: What is one thing currently consuming your attention that probably won't matter in 100 years?

The Business Advice Nobody Wants to Hear

What if the biggest challenge in your business isn't marketing, productivity, or sales... but trust? In this episode, I'm tackling one of the most uncomfortable topics for Christian business owners: money. Inspired by a chapter in David Green's book Leadership Not By The Book, I share my thoughts on tithing from a business, why I've chosen to approach business spending differently than many online experts recommend, and why I believe generosity is ultimately more about trust than finances. This isn't a prosperity gospel message, and it's definitely not financial advice. It's simply an honest conversation about stewardship, obedience, and learning to trust God with every part of our businesses—including our profit. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Do you believe Christian business owners should tithe from their business income? Why or why not? 📖 This episode is part of the Godly Business Leadership series inspired by lessons from David Green's book Leadership Not By The Book [https://amzn.to/4gvUPpq]. #ChristianBusiness #FaithAndBusiness #BusinessLeadership #Entrepreneurship #Tithing #ChristianEntrepreneur
