Working Upward: Biblical Mindset Podcast for Christian Work at Home Business Women

In this latest episode of Working Upward, we take a look at some actual lies prevalent in the work at home space, the different categories they fall into and the truth that keeps us on our mission.

Next week, we'll wrap up by taking a closer look at our battle strategy to make sure we don't fall prey to these lies and the others that dilute the truth, distract us from our mission or detail us from our mission entirely.

Since last week we talked about our wonderful Truth and all His glory, this week we’re going to flip the coin and look closer at what and who  we’re up against in our quest for truthful working, thinking and living.

And in our desk to desk segment, I’m going to share some ways you can help improve your focus -- because that is something we all struggle with from time to time, some more than others.

As business owners who want to integrate our faith with our work and who understand that even a financially successful business outside God’s will isn’t truly successful, we should avail ourselves of all God’s help available to us, right? 

But do we? 

This week we’re focusing on a specific way God helps us we tend to forget about.  But it's an encouraging truth best remembered!

It’s real. It’s happening all around us and maybe it’s happening to you.

The word translated "grace" in the New Testament comes from the Greek word charis, which means “favor, blessing, or kindness.”

Up until 2020, I’ve always been a stickler about celebrating Thanksgiving first and then celebrating Christmas. Thanksgiving just gets a bad rap, you know -- I mean, in stores I see Thanksgiving table settings and napkins go on clearance before the holiday itself to make room for more Christmas stuff. Which, by the way, began to appear on shelves in July.

But this year, I’m making an exception. I am in full-on Chri...

There’s an old song that goes “There is joy, joy, joy in serving Jesus, joy that throbs within my heart.”

But here’s the deal -- while there is joy in serving Jesus -- sometimes you just don’t feel it. Things happen. The days get long. The work gets hard. You find yourself fake smiling and easily annoyed. 

In this episode of Working Upward, we’ll talk about what to do when you get to that place and how you can renew you...

According to a 2017 Barna research report, only 17% of practicing Christians actually have a biblical worldview.

This then begs the question, what worldview do the majority of these professing Christians have if it’s not the biblical one? And how does this relate to the biblical mindset we need to live by and motivate us to work successfully in God’s eyes?

We’ll take a deeper look at how your worldview affects your mindset i...

Ah, there’s nothing like a gentle breeze through your open window or sunshine on your shoulder, or even a quarantine to get you thinking about all the wonderful things you can do to spruce up your house, clean your car, and refresh your business -- but where to even start?
