From Witchcraft to Kingdom Business: Karla Callan's Testimony

Karla Callan shares her testimony of leaving generational witchcraft and 20 years in the New Age movement to build a Holy Spirit led kingdom business. Karla is the founder of Karla Callan Ministries and the creator of the Formation Discipleship Training Program, a 30 week program built to take believers through discipleship, inner healing, and alignment with God. In this conversation, we talk about the difference between striving and obedience, why hustle culture has quietly infiltrated Christian business, and how God stopped Karla in her tracks through physical burnout before revealing her true calling as an apostolic shepherd. We dig into what it actually means to make Jesus the CEO of your business, why urgency is often the language of striving rather than the voice of God, and how alignment with the Holy Spirit is what gives you true authority in business. If you are a Christian entrepreneur ready to stop striving and start building God's way, this episode is for you.
