92. Pain, Anxiety, and God's Design: Listening to Your Body's Message with Dr. Nicole Evans

96. Purpose-Driven Business: How to Define Mission, Vision & Core Values with Michelle Sloan

Do you know *why* your business exists — not just what it does, but the deeper purpose behind it? And if you do know it, are you actually living it out, or is it just a framed statement on the wall that nobody talks about? Michelle Sloan is a principal coach and school consultant who helps leaders clarify their mission, vision, and core values — and then actually live by them. She's built schools from the ground up, turned around declining ones in the middle of a pandemic, and watched organizations double in size when they got serious about who they are and who they're called to serve. Join David and Michelle as they dig into what purpose really means for Christian business owners, why most mission statements never make it off the wall, and how to build a culture where every decision filters through your calling. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Don't copy someone else's path. God didn't call you to be somebody else. He called you to be you. Honor Him by staying true to the unique gifts, abilities, and purpose He's placed in you, and build your business around that rather than chasing what's working for everyone else. One challenge from today: Before your next team meeting, put one question at the bottom of the agenda — "Does this decision align with who we are and who we're called to serve?" — and make someone responsible for asking it every single time.

95. Stop Floating: How to Discover and Walk Out Your God-Given Purpose with Alesha Limbo

Do you ever feel like you're busy with all the right things — but somehow still off course? Like you're moving fast, but not necessarily toward anything that truly matters? You might be floating. Alesha Limbo knows that feeling well. A life coach, speaker, and podcast host, Alesha once described herself as a "recovering floater" — someone who stayed busy but hadn't yet locked into the specific purpose God had wired her for. Her journey from distraction to intentional, purpose-driven living has shaped everything from her coaching practice to her marriage to a bold land development leap in South Dakota. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Run every decision through this question: Does this align with the purpose and gifts God has specifically given me? Alesha challenges us to stop doing things we're merely okay at and start leaning into what God uniquely built us for — because that's where He shows up and multiplies the work. One challenge from today: Identify one thing you're currently doing out of busyness or fear rather than purpose — and take one step this week to either realign it or release it.

94. How to Build a Business at God's Pace: Escaping Burnout and the Hustle with Nannette Foster

Are you running your business at a pace that's slowly burning you out? You're doing all the right things — following the advice, building the momentum — but something feels off. You're pushing the boulder uphill now, not watching it roll. Nannette Foster is a leadership coach based in Kodiak, Alaska, who knows that feeling firsthand. From burning out as a jewelry artist, to a pandemic-era breaking point as a solo parent of two young kids on an island, Nannette's journey took her from hustle and grind to something she calls "slow to flow" — learning to match her pace with God's pace and build a business that actually holds together. Join us as Nannette shares her raw, honest story and the practical wisdom she's discovered about slowing down and working with how God uniquely designed you. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Slow down and build your calendar in reverse — rest and family first, then work in the remaining space. When we stop conforming to the world's hustle and start operating according to how God uniquely designed us, we become more sustainable, more present, and more useful to the people we're called to serve. One challenge from today: Audit your calendar this week. Are you giving God and family your best hours, or just the scraps? Try blocking rest and family priorities first — then see what space is left for work.

93. How to Use AI Without Losing Your Voice: Integrity, Influence, and Authority with Ken Freire

Are you using AI in your business — or is AI using you? In a world flooded with generated content and polished personas, your real voice might be your greatest competitive advantage. The question isn't whether to use AI. It's whether you're still showing up as you. Ken Freire is a business coach, podcast growth strategist, and author of Own the Show. He started in ministry leadership nearly 20 years ago, discovered a gift for scaling organizations without burning people out. He eventually launched a coaching and marketing agency helping expert-led business owners — coaches, consultants, and service providers — grow with authenticity and integrity. Join us as Ken unpacks what "authentic authority" really means, why transparency in sales actually closes more deals, and how Christians should be running toward AI — not away from it. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? Ken reminds us of Colossians 3:23 — whatever you do, do it with all your heart. People don't just want your expertise; they want to trust a real human being. * Build your "human edge": wisdom, discernment, personality, and values — the four things AI simply cannot replicate * Audit your sales process for manipulation: false scarcity, hidden pricing, and emotional pressure tactics have no place in a business that honors God * Use AI as a tool to speed you up, not replace who you are One challenge from today: This week, post something personal — a story, a moment with your family, a lesson you're still learning. Let people see the real you, not the polished version.

92. Pain, Anxiety, and God's Design: Listening to Your Body's Message with Dr. Nicole Evans

Ever notice how pain always seems to show up at the worst time? It interrupts your work, your relationships, your plans. But what if that interruption isn't the problem — What if pain is a gift? Today's guest is Dr. Nicole Evans, a chiropractor who discovered something profound while treating patients in chronic pain: Their symptoms weren't punishments or random accidents, they were divine signals trying to get their attention. Nicole now helps people decode the deeper messages behind their physical, emotional, and spiritual pain — and use those insights to align their lives with God's design. Join us as Nicole shares how anxiety often reveals a fear of the future, and why our bodies respond to perceived threats even when we're just walking into work. This conversation will change the way you think about every symptom you experience and help you see pain as a gift, not a punishment. Redeem Your Business Today by the Following: How can we honor God in our business? By extending the kind of grace we've received from God — not the cheap, human version, but the real thing. So many people carry religious wounds or shame that keeps them stuck. When you show them what God's grace actually feels like, it breaks chains. Your business becomes a place of healing, not just transactions. One challenge from today: Pick one physical or emotional symptom you're experiencing right now. It might be stress, anxiety, anger, or chronic pain. Instead of judging it or trying to eliminate it, ask: "What is this interruption trying to tell me?" Listen for the answer without shame or fear. That symptom might be a divine trigger.
