Listen "108 | God Gave You a Business, Not a Hobby (Stop Treating it Like One)"

Episode Synopsis


Key Takeaways
💡 1. God Doesn’t Give Out “Cute Ideas” — He Gives Assignments


Your business isn’t random or something you “just stumbled into.”


It’s part of your purpose — a divine assignment meant to impact others.


Stop minimizing it because it doesn’t look like someone else’s success story yet.


If God trusted you with it, that means it’s supposed to grow, not sit half-finished on your to-do list.


💼 2. You Can’t Pray for Clients and Treat It Like a Hobby


Prayer without stewardship keeps you stuck.


God blesses faith in motion — not procrastination disguised as “waiting on God.”


There’s a difference between surrender and slacking off.


You can pray for provision, but you still have to show up like the CEO.


⚖️ 3. Hobby Energy Keeps You Broke and Busy


You know you’re treating it like a hobby when:


You only work on it when you “feel like it.”


You avoid structure or goals because “it’s supposed to be fun.”


You don’t track money, clients, or results — because that feels too serious.




That kind of inconsistency confuses both you and the people you’re called to serve.


🧭 4. Stewardship Looks Like Strategy


Taking your business seriously doesn’t mean you’re being “worldly.”


Systems, structure, and marketing are not anti-faith — they’re tools that amplify your obedience.


If you want to multiply, you need methods.


Honor what God gave you by planning, tracking, and showing up even when no one’s clapping yet.


🙅🏽‍♀️ 5. Humility Doesn’t Mean Hiding


“Playing small” isn’t holy — it’s disobedient.


You can be humble and bold.


Stop calling fear “humility” when it’s really just avoidance.


When you downplay your gifts, you’re not protecting your faith — you’re burying your talent. (See Matthew 25:14–30)


🌱 6. Growth Happens When You Treat It Like a Business


Start setting real goals (income, client, and spiritual goals).


Establish a routine and boundaries like a professional, not a hobbyist.


Invest in yourself — time, learning, accountability, or mentorship.


Get comfortable with consistency, even when it’s quiet.


🔥 Let's Take Action


Pray over your business like you’re in partnership with God, not waiting on Him to do it all.


Ask, “How can I show up differently if I truly believe this came from God?”


Let obedience, not outcomes, drive your effort.


Decide today: you’re done “dabbling” — you’re building something divine.
