I asked two of my friends (George Houston and Evan Black) who are also planting churches in metro Atlanta in January to join me in a discussion about church planting. In this discussion, you will get a behind-the-scenes look at church planting from three diverse perspectives. We are discussing our fears, challenges, and wins. If you are considering planting a church, this conversation will encourage you and give you insight. If you are considering joining one of our churches, this conversation will give you an inside look at the heart behind our calling to launch a church. George is launching Linked UP Church North in Woodstock, GA, on January 2, 2022. https://linkedupchurchnorth.com/ Evan is launching Propel Church in Acworth, GA, on January 2, 2022. https://wearepropelchurch.com/ We are launching the Atlanta campus of Church for Entrepreneurs in Atlanta, GA, on January 9, 2022. https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/

Church for Entrepreneurs

Lessons learned in the midst of church planting

Daily Word - We hear many stories of successful non-Christian entrepreneurs on the news, and every now and then, we hear about few Christians who have achieved success in business. Why does it seem like secular entrepreneurs are more successful in business than Christian entrepreneurs? Well, the reason is that they have fully committed to their worldly system of success, whereas many Christian entrepreneurs are wishy-washy. They are trying to do business God’s way mixed with worldly principles, which is a recipe for frustration and failure. Links - Join, Partner

Why secular entrepreneurs are more successful

Sunday Service - At the beginning of each year, God shares with me a word that He desires for those who are connected with Church for Entrepreneurs to focus on for that entire year. The Word for 2021 was and is Rest. Let’s remind ourselves of this word, so we can finish the year strong in “Rest.” Links - Join, Partner

The Word for 2021 was and is Rest

Daily Word - The body of Christ has more of a love problem, than a doctrinal problem. Many believers are spending more time trying to correct each other, than they are loving each other. A sign of a believer is not correct doctrine, but the love they have for another believer. Links - Join, Partner

They will know us by our love for each other

Daily Word - Unfortunately, as we are living life and working on our callings, we will experience trying situations. Maybe you will become physically ill, perhaps you will experience a death of a close friend or family member, or maybe there will be a financial emergency. These curve balls in life have the potential to knock us off the paths of our callings. In today’s Daily Word, we examine the scriptures to see how Jesus dealt with life’s curve balls, so we can learn from His example. Links - Join, Partner

When life throws you a curve ball

Daily Word - Prosperity is a constant state of wealth, not occasionally having some money or mostly being able to meet your needs and desires. It is a condition where all your needs and desires are met, and you have more than enough to give to every good cause. In today’s message, learn more about prosperity and how the blessing brings you prosperity. Links - Join, Partner

This is prosperity

Open Forum - We discussed that as a leader, you can have control or growth, but you can't have both. We also discussed the need to embrace the shifts in your passions, how you were built to create order out of chaos, you having a God DNA that is at odds with your current position, and a few other interesting topics.  Links - Join, Partner

Embrace the shift in your passion

Daily Word - Many Christians are giving and serving in church but still struggling in the area of prosperity. One of the major causes of this is a misunderstanding of how God brings prosperity to us. Prosperity is not promised because we give or serve, but it is promised through the blessing, which is activated through the work of our hands. Links - Join, Partner

Prosperity is through the blessing not giving or serving

Daily Word - Let’s look at how sowing into your business is a seed that produces a harvest. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that sometimes we have to intentionally neglect some important tasks, so we can do what is needed most at the moment. We also talked about who is at fault if your child experiences mental illness, whether Christians should participate in Halloween, finding your purpose, and a few other interesting things.  Links - Join, Partner

Intentional neglect

Daily Word - Various bible teachers and pastors preach on the topics of grace, faith, and living holy. Most times you hear these topics in isolation, and depending on who you listen to, it can appear these topics contradict each other. For example, if we are living under grace, do we have to follow God’s law to live holy? If we don’t live holy, do we fall out of grace? Or how do faith and grace work together to receive the promises of God? In today’s message, discover how these three pivotal bible truths work together for our success. Links - Join, Partner

Grace, faith, and living holy

Daily Word - Most Christians equate honoring God with their money, with giving money to a church. This is good, but it is a limited understanding. Listen to today’s Daily Word to learn about honoring God with your money. Links - Join, Partner

How to honor God with your money

Daily Word - Your calling will be tried by fire, and you may be tempted to give up. In fact, that is the goal of the trials that you are facing. The trial is designed by Satan to tempt you to give up. However, in today’s message, I want to encourage you to stay on your path in the face of temptation. Links - Join, Partner

Stay on path in the face of temptation to give up

Daily Word - A major key to success is knowing what type of calling God has given you. For example, has God called you to start and run a ministry or business? Confusing ministry and business will limit your success in either. In today’s message, I explain the differences and nuances between these two callings, so you can clearly discern what type of calling God has given you. Links - Join, Partner

Confusing Ministry and Business will limit your Success

Daily Word - Have you ever wondered why, after studying the Bible consistently or listening to sermons weekly, you somehow still don’t have the faith you need to move the mountains in your life? Well, the reason is that faith is learned through practice, not just reading or listening. Links - Join, Partner

Faith is learned by practice

Church for Entrepreneurs is a church without walls that equips believers across the world to succeed at their God-given entrepreneurial calling by teaching them the Word of God from an entrepreneurial perspective, providing them with godly counsel along their entrepreneurial journey, and praying for their success.
