is intentionally faith-based.
If you identify as a followerof Jesus Christ and you wanna
build your business with.
Both strategy and scripture then welcome.
You're in the right place.
Let's talk about what it really meansto be driven by faith and finances.

(00:44):
This episode is for you if you'reafraid to raise your prices because
you're scared people won't pay.
Or maybe you've been saying, I'm trustingGod, but your financials are chaos.
Or maybe you pray for provision, butfeel guilty charging what you're worth.
Or maybe you don't feel confident makingfinancial decisions as the CEO or.

(01:04):

Well, by the end of this episode, myhope is that you'll understand how faith
and financial strategy work together,that you'll, you can identify one money
mindset block that keep you stuck, ormaybe you recognize all the mindset
blocks that keep you stuck, that youwalk away with one specific step to

(01:29):
bring structure to your finances.
So let me introduce you to Daniella.
She's.
20 months into runningher design business.
She's incredibly talented.
Her clients love her, but thenumbers, well, the numbers are a mess.
She kept saying God will provide,and he did, but it was feast
or famine, no structure, noprofit margin, no clear plan.

(01:51):
Then one day she told me, I feellike I'm either failing God by
not trusting him or failing mybusiness by not being strategic.
Well, that's when I told her, God isn'tasking you to choose between trust and.
Stewardship.
He's asking you to do both.
That's what we're diving into today.
Four Truths about trust and strategy.

(02:14):
Number one, truth number one is faithdoesn't mean flaky, trusting God.
It's not the same as avoiding the numbers.
Faith calls you to face the factsand invite God into the plan.
Luke 1428 captures Jesus saying, supposeone of you wants to build a tower.
Won't you first sit downand estimate the cost?

(02:35):
That's Jesus talking.
Budgeting is biblical truth Numbertwo, strategy is a form of stewardship.
You're not just managing money.
You're managing what God gave you.
Tracking your numbers, setting revenuegoals, building a plan that's not worldly.
That's wise.
Truth number three.
Fear masquerades is wisdom.

(02:57):
Sometimes what we call waiting on Godis really us avoiding hard decisions,
raising prices, hiring, investing in help.
If fear is driving yourfinancial decisions, you're not
trusting, you're hesitating.
Truth number four, in my Drivenframe framework, the driven pillar of
vision, the V and driven is vision.

(03:18):
That brings financial clarity.
So when you don't have a clearvision, every expense field.
Risky and every investment feels scary.
You can't build financial momentumwithout knowing where you're going.
That's why the driven pillarof vision is so essential.
Vision answers the question,what are we building?

(03:39):
