Redefining Success: God's View vs The World's
Manage episode 491022818 series 3636432
Are you constantly measuring your worth by your achievements? That hustle culture mindset can be devastating for Christian mompreneurs trying to balance business growth with family priorities. In this soul-stirring episode, I dive deep into the profound difference between the world's definition of success and God's perspective.
The truth might surprise you. While we're bombarded with messages about productivity, income goals, and visible results, God's economy operates on entirely different principles. Success isn't about checking all the boxes or hitting arbitrary milestones—it's about faithfulness and obedience to what He's specifically called you to do. I share my personal struggle with this misconception and how God is currently transforming my understanding of true achievement.
One revelation that might free you: the problem isn't necessarily what individual Christian business coaches are telling you. It's that you're following dozens of them simultaneously, creating an impossible standard no one person could meet. This insight alone could relieve the pressure you've been putting on yourself. I also share the powerful story of Dr. Leslie, a missionary who returned from 17 years in the Congo believing he had failed completely—only for others to discover years later that his faithful service had sparked a thriving network of churches. What seeds are you planting that you can't yet see the harvest from?
