It has always been amazing to me that Christian Entrepreneurs or Marketplace Ministers are the only ones that are expected to check our Christianity at the door. We are expected to “tolerate and respect” everyone else’s belief, but people aren’t expected to respect Christian beliefs. Thank you for this! It NEEDED to be said. Not for the unbeliever, but for the Marketplace Ministers. “Invite Jesus into your Business”. Thank you for this!
Girrrrrrl!!! PREACH. I Screenshot your comment and I’m sharing it on my IG stories because it’s soooo good!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this conversation with my husband and girlfriends. I totally agree. It’s absolutely crazy that we’re expected to to tolerate everyone’s beliefs but it’s okay to disrespect Christian values as you said. Thank YOU for the insightful perspective. Love this!
This is so refreshing to see a Christian talk about business! The Bible teaches us not to conform to this world and entrepreneurship gives and avenue to transform it. I would love to hear about faith journey as it pertains to money and success. Great points on leadership and current times! Thank you so much for this video🙏
Your faith is one of the reasons I follow you because a lot of people that are successful online entrepreneurs always talking about the law of attraction & "the universe" giving them their success etc. As a believer, it's refreshing to hear successful people talk about Jesus Christ as their source.
What a great message and divine timing for me to hear it! I literally just announced that my business coaching practice would now serve exclusively Christian entrepreneurs (because God has been leading me there for almost 2 years). I made the announcement and watched hundreds of people unsubscribe from my email list and 25% of my client roster walked away. I knew the shift would come with consequences and hate, but more than anything… I wanted to be obedient to God’s instruction on my life. Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you!
Holy Spirit has been nudging me in the direction of entrepreneurship and I searched for "christian women in entrepreneurship" and came upon this. This is powerful and so relevant in our days. Thank you so much for sharing. I am looking forward to watching your other videos. God bless your family & your business.
That's incredible to hear! I'm glad you found this and that it resonated with you. It's amazing how the Holy Spirit guides us in our pursuits. Thank you for your kind words and blessings. Wishing you all the best on your business journey! God bless you abundantly. 🙏😊
Thank you! I just got more into Jesus and what it means to follow him, I have not yet totally said yes, and one of the reasons was this. "How can I run a business when following Jesus?" I knew the must be a way, so thank you for sharing this! Opening me more to accept and choose the path of love
Just came across your channel. I am SDA and was in pathfinders growing up too. Totally related with everything you said about your experience growing up. Loved your video ❤
I'm so glad that you are sharing this. I think that many of us that are in business struggle with the balance of our faith and running a business. As long as we keep in Jesus at the center of our business and follow the principles in the bible we will be aligned with His will! Glad I found your channel :)
Absolutely love that I came across your page today. I myself am seven day Adventist went to Oakwood university a seven day Adventist HBCU and run my own business. I am trying to put my faith and make god my business partner so this was so good to watch.
I’m so excited you found my page! 🙌 It’s awesome that you’re making God your business partner. That’s a powerful move, and I know big things are ahead for you! 💪 So glad this resonated with you, and I can’t wait to see how your faith continues to grow your business. Keep going-you’ve got this! 🙏✨
This video made me CRY! Sometimes I force myself to read my word even though I am in LOVE with scripture, today I was like I will exercise and learn from some content and LOOK Jesus STILL speaks to me. I am so grateful for you I’ve went my whole career never making over 20k a year, being an artist, and I am at the point where I want to GROW and I am resonating soo much with what you said at the end about learning first so we can compassionately tell of the truth of GOD! “We need to use judgement”. Not condemnation!
Thank you! As much as I am scared I do feel a sense of peace that God is pushing me in the direction of me creating a Christian based business. 🙏🏽 it will be a journey but this is the season for it.
Well said! Your integrity was most helpful. I belong to a different church but the message of integrity and being true to your values is deeply rooted in every true religion.
This was incredible!!! I am a believer and this has been so refreshing. Thank you for sharing!! Please share more. The world is in desperate need of the spoken word and truth.
This explains why you're so gentle and awesome! Great to hear and know. As a Christian also, this has created even more affinity towards your brand. Wonderful
I feel that someone's faith is apart of them and can easily be a part of their business. If someone doesn't like that then it's not for them and they can keep scrolling lol! ❤️ I absolutely love this topic thanks for sharing your experiences with us and being open!! I really needed it!
this was soooo encouraging to me!! I'm a believer as well and have been recently learning this very thing in my own walk with God, trusting Him with and letting Him lead EVERY area of my life, including work and business. The timing of seeing this video was so cool for me! I'd love it if you would share more on this topic and even more of the story of your journey with God--I completely understand wanting to keep some things private, but whatever you do feel led to share is a huge encouragement and a blessing!! Thankful for you!
Kim, thank you so much for being transparent and sharing your belief. Honestly, before this video I had no idea that you are a believer in God which is truly a shame. Not as a an insult to you but that we as Christians feel we must check our faith at the door in order to be socially correct. As a believer who is old enough to be your mother I am so proud of you for taking this stand for God. Your topic about the veil being ripped and shedding light on the darkness is so true. I love how you so eloquently explained what is happening in our society today. We need more leaders like you to stand up and share their faith, but also it's our, the followers, responsibility to support and strengthen you when the naysayers come forth. I encourage you to create more content like this. I greatly enjoyed this video and it has definitely been an inspiration to me.
I was so excited to see this video. Thank you for sharing your Faith. It is always encouraging to see and support other Christian Entrepreneurs. Be Blessed.
I'm so grateful I found this video, this is where I am ... I have great mentors , but they are not Jesus centered and I find myself looking into what's God's perspective... I feel in my soul pulling into kingdom oriented above all
Wowowowowow thank you for this. I prayed that God bring me friendships/relationships that are God centered!!! I found you recently and could just tell there was something…. And this video just confirmed it!!!! I’m so glad I found you and your Trello videos!!! They have helped me so much!!! Looking forward to learning more about what you do and seeing if maybe we are a fit to help each other out in business!! God bless you, your marriage, your clients and your business!!!!!
I just found and purchased several of your templates today and joined The Business Lounge... NOW I KNOW WHY!!!! Thank you so much for your obedience, stand and transparency. You are representing the Kingdom of God so well. Thank you!
My heart is overflowing. You are set apart in your own right as an incredible business owner and model for the industry. In addition to that, I believe God led me to your UA-cam channel several months ago to learn about Trello and other things; He wouldn’t let up on you and you helped so much. Now to find this out. You are so beautiful. He trusts you in your business, girl.
Love this!! As a follower of Jesus this gives you 3 times the authority in my eyes. Thank you for given me even more freedom to freely engage in your content. Hope to also do some business soon! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Hey, Dirk! Thank you for your super nice comment. Your words go a long way for this imperfect believer. Glad we faith in common and excited to see what God continues to do in your life and business! 🙌🏻
Amazing from start to finish! Thank you for your transparency and for speaking what God put in your heart to communicate to the world! It is so on time for me! Just had a conversation this week about how difficult it is for those who have fame and notoriety to share their views vs when you have a small following. So appreciate you and your generosity in sharing your talents and gifts! Btw, I'm a PK too😊
Please pray for me. I’m struggling with my faith. I knew when I found Jesus my life wouldn’t be easy because I would have to give up on my sinful life style and follow him. I’m a single mother, my husband passed away three years ago. I miss him dearly it’s been very hard on me raising my sons alone. I’m struggling to make ends meet. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions, lupus and heart disease. I’m having a hard time providing for my two autistic children. I’m so ashamed! I have nowhere to turn no family nor friends. I have been put down laughed at and mocked, over my situation. I’m so embarrassed so please be kind. We are facing homelessness and barely have food but I still have FAITH. God is going to provide abundantly! Praise Jesus! God bless you.
Oh my gosh… I’m so sorry to hear about all your loss! You'll certainly be in my prayers! Stay strong. God has an incredible plan for your life and little ones. I’m so proud of you for standing your ground with so much to lose. That takes a level of courage very few are willing to put forth. So please don’t be ashamed! We want to help. Please reach out to my team at hello@kimberlyannjimenez.com we’d love to encourage you and help you find the resources you need to move forward and come out the other side stronger. 💕
Wow thank you so much for this, Kim. Thanking the Lord for your beautiful soul and your obedience to His calling. You’re have definitely clarified the message that will cause me to do the same. More like Christ and for His glory . May we & our businesses be used as vessels for the advancement of His kingdom all the days of our lives ❤️ Sending so much love and gratitude your way, Sis xxx
This is great. I don't think people really realize how connected their success in business and life is to tithing, offerings and a relationship with God. When I connected the dots, things turned around greatly. He does say test in me in the tithe and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing you will not have room enough to handle. (Malachi 3:10) (Great job here Kim, and as far as I know, the only difference between 7th Day Adventist and Christians is what day we attend church.
Thank you for your testimony - we are more than you might have thought - but so few have the courage to express it loudly - God bless you and keep on going!
Wow, all that I needed to hear today as my morning devotional and prayer involved around this very subject. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you. Many blessings and prayers that you, me, and all of us can speak truth no matter what others think or say.
Thank you Kim for the good video. As an individual trying to run my own ministry, this is definitely a relatable message. It can be stressful at times...
This was beautiful. You were honest, vulnerable, courageous, authentic...a breath of fresh air. I am following you as I am not into technology, but I love your story of faith. You are amazing. I'm so thankful for finding your channel. God bless you and protect you, flourish you continually. :)
So proud of you for doing this! Definitely inspired me to continue with my christian values in business, after doubting if I should continue. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Marguerite! That means so much. I’m so glad you’re feeling encouraged to continue sharing your faith. It’s making an impact! Big hugs & praying a Texas-sized blessing on your life. 🙏🏻💕
Amen! Salute to all my PK's out there, we had it interesting growing up =). Great Video which left me teary eyed. I will own that gem and draw a Land in the Sand" and dedicate that plot to the kingdom! My Land in the Sand will be built on trust and patience to know that no mountain is high enough or boulder too large that the Lord can't move. I will always rise and stand for the Lord is with me on my Land in the Sand.
This helped me a lot. Because I’m always debating if posting too many religious thoughts is supposed to stay out of my business and I felt guilty thinking God would say : so you also leaving me alone ? Like the verse in the Bible when he asked Peter that question.🙏
Thank you for this. It has been so helpful and so encouraging. I am in agreement with all that you said and believe that God honours what you've talked about here and will bless you in business and personally. Please share more on this - bringing Jesus into your business - with practical ideas. I would love to learn more.
Bless you, Belinda! Thank you for your kind words. I’ll be doing a follow up video soon with more practical examples. Thank you for the feedback, I feel just as encouraged by the comments and all of you guys. Blessings!
God bless you Kim. May He increase your faith and encourage to speak more on this, I have a strong belief and feeling that many need to hear it more and more. I recently opened my counselling practice and I asked God to help me with marketing, in fact God was clear that I can not hide who I am. I'm also Adventist by the way. I practice as a wellness counsellor and what that means is that I can practice in my faith so part of my services is spiritual growth counselling. Everything I put out I am very clear. Tithe is also extremely important. God is so faithful I have testimonies just on tithing, how God will increase what little you have. God First I say!
Thank you, my friend! What a beautiful message you shared with us. This made my day. Wishing you ALL the success in the world in your practice. Big hugs and to God be all the glory. 💕
This really blessed me Thank you thank you thank you! You are very inspiring. You are the mentor for us Christian entrpreneurs who are lone rangers doing it on our own with no mentors or community. :( So thank you for this. Yes please share more strategies how to incorporate Jesus/ our faith into our business more. And what that could look like. Struggling with this as well. Thank you God bless!
I am hesitant to become a life coach and start my business but i just feel in my heart there's the shift and direction. I need to have a strong niche and to give glory to Jesus.
What a beautiful testimony! A lot of Christians need to have role models in business. Please don’t stop! Thank you Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Its a small world. I am also an Adventist. I found your channel looking for info about trello which I found in one of your old videos. God bless and thanks for the info!!!
I want to start, but I still don't know where to begin.I feel the world needs more positivity and God. I made planners, and I am printing on T-shirts and daily verses. I'm praying for a breakthrough.
That’s awesome! The world definitely needs more positivity and God, and I love that you’re spreading His word through planners and T-shirts with daily verses! 🙌 Keep praying, stay faithful, and know that your breakthrough is coming! You’ve already taken amazing steps, so just keep pushing forward-one step at a time, you’ve got this! I’m cheering for you! 🙏💪✨
Your video came up as a suggestion force to watch. Glad I did. I have yet to launch my business but I have struggled to get going with its development due to a lot of what you say. I think a video about using social media platforms for good and not bad would be useful. As social media is so toxic. Have you watched the documentary "The Social Dilema"? If not you MUST. Before making a video on negative suggested. You could make several videos as a response.
This was a powerful video, and I just want to thank you for creating this content! I do have a question about something. I'm noticing that a lot of Christian business owners are curated with professionals who's product/service is teaching other people how to run a Christian business. I don't really see many skills outside of that. For example, I'm a Spa owner and I truly believe I've been called to this industry, however, I'm trying to find ways to incorporate my faith into my business, because I've been noticing that the industry is really pushing a lot of artificial enhancements and body modifications. I want to get back to the natural, healing way of how the industry started out, but I do struggle with being too preachy, or condemning for women that believe in getting work done. It's just something I've been thinking and heavily praying about, but I would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Shemika, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. 🙏🏻 I think it’s wonderful that you’re taking time to pray and ask The Holy Spirit to guide you in this pursuit. His guidance far supersedes anything I share with you (I’m sure you know this, but I’m clarifying for others who might read your comment and relate). I think it’s incredibly important that God’s people who are called to the marketplace are deeply rooted in their faith, but also skillful & excellent in their craft. We see this depicted in the parable of the talents where God calls the servants who multiplied ‘good and faithful.’ I believe we’re called to be servants in everything we do, and we can’t serve others at the highest level in our businesses without faithfully developing skills in the arena God’s placed us for His glory. In terms of how to share your faith without coming off as being condemning, the mere fact that you’re concerned about this is evidence of your heart’s posture. 🙌🏻❤️🙏🏻 Ask The Holy Spirit to sift your intentions as a first step and model your approach after Jesus’. One example is to start by bringing attention to the values you want to encourage in your practice through your content, services, and educating your clients. How you can share the beauty, importance, and joy of natural healing in a way that’s enticing and fun? When you have competing value systems, instead of calling out women who participate in a specific culturally trendy procedure from the get-go, start thinking of ways you can encourage alternate techniques of healing and call them up to see themselves through new eyes. Develop a culture through content, education, and services that uplift natural beauty and build relationships with your audience and clientele that enable you to bring up concerns about other procedures from the standpoint of general care and compassion for women. There’s a time and place to call out specific erroneous or morally reprehensible practices, but it’s not always the best way to be heard right off the gates. This is still a work in progress in my own business and I have by no means figured it out. It’s VERY challenging to know when to lead with a strong message that challenges culture and when to lead with gentleness. There’s been MANY times I’ve recorded a video and never published it, or was about to publish an IG story and the Spirit said don’t. So for me, it’s been a journey of allowing The Holy Spirit to do some sifting and taking time to think before I just post all my opinions (like all of us, I have many). So I hope this helps! We’re compiling all of your questions for a PT II of this episode since so many subscribers have reached out asking for more practical ideas on how to incorporate faith into business. Stay tuned! 🙏🏻❤️
Hi I am new businesswoman, can you tell me how you tithe? Do you take 10% from net income or any amount you feel like giving at the moment? Do you tithe monthly or yearly? I am still considering how I will tithe because my business is inventory heavy and the key to expand my business is by not taking any profit but to reinvest the profit to more inventory. Thank you.
Hi, Clara! That's a great question. There are a lot of schools of thought on this, so I would say, pray about it and let the Spirit lead you. Chris and I pay ourselves a set income every month from our business' net profit. And that's the income we tithe from. Just like if we were employees, we tithed 10% of our personal income every month. As we grew and God blessed us financially, we started to also contribute 5% to offerings + partner with several ministries and charities whose missions are close to our hearts on special projects that significantly exceed our set 15% tithe. Don't feel pressure to start there, though. We did this over time, as we felt led to. Again, everyone has different thoughts on this, so I'd encourage you to review some of the verses in the Bible about tithing and speak to a pastor or spiritual counselor about what makes sense for your business in its infancy stages. Hope this helps (we'll be sharing more about this topic over on the podcast since it's something we get questions about a lot)! 💕
HEY NOW!!!!!!!! You know what I think would be amazing, have you thought about starting a bible study or group for business owners who are christ followers and how we can bring His truth, love and light into what we do?! Your testimony touched me so much, thank you for sharing! God is good ^_^
Hey! I love your content/videos!! Always inspiring. As a former Adventist, the Sabbath is not the difference between you and Christianity. The doctrine of Investigative Judgment is the difference. The IJ says that when Christ died, your sins were not forgiven but written in books waiting to be investigated when you die. Then forgiven. Christianity believes that when Christ died, if you accept His sacrifice, His death redeems you. You are forgiven. He washes you clean and your sins are scattered… as far as the east and west. Be blessed on this day, today, a celebration of Christ’s resurrection and what He has done for you. Your prophetess, Ellen G White, has taught your church leaders that Jesus did not complete atonement at the cross. I just want you to know my friend that Jesus has completed your atonement for you when He died and sacrificed Himself. He has finished His work for your salvation. The Investigative judgment is a heresy. If you don’t know about the IJ. Please do not study it. Just know that Christ has redeem you by His death at the cross and your sins are forgiven… not written in books.
Hi Vivian, thanks for your comment. I believe you have sweet intentions, but I wanted to remind you that this video is not a discussion of doctrine or the teachings of the SDA church. It's purpose is to encourage all Christians to live and speak their faith boldly at a time when this is dismissed and criticized by the world. Let's stay focused & blessed. 💕
God wants me to start a business but I don’t know what to start and how he’s been tugging on my heart about it but I’m like what is it that you want me to do what helped you?
It has always been amazing to me that Christian Entrepreneurs or Marketplace Ministers are the only ones that are expected to check our Christianity at the door. We are expected to “tolerate and respect” everyone else’s belief, but people aren’t expected to respect Christian beliefs.
Thank you for this! It NEEDED to be said. Not for the unbeliever, but for the Marketplace Ministers.
“Invite Jesus into your Business”.
Thank you for this!

This right here is POWERFUL!!! The more I listened the more I became engaged. As a person that inspires people for a living this INSPIRED ME!!!

We are facing homelessness and barely have food but I still have FAITH. God is going to provide abundantly! Praise Jesus! God bless you.
Oh my gosh… I’m so sorry to hear about all your loss! You'll certainly be in my prayers! Stay strong. God has an incredible plan for your life and little ones. I’m so proud of you for standing your ground with so much to lose. That takes a level of courage very few are willing to put forth. So please don’t be ashamed! We want to help. Please reach out to my team at hello@kimberlyannjimenez.com we’d love to encourage you and help you find the resources you need to move forward and come out the other side stronger. 💕
Wow thank you so much for this, Kim. Thanking the Lord for your beautiful soul and your obedience to His calling. You’re have definitely clarified the message that will cause me to do the same. More like Christ and for His glory . May we & our businesses be used as vessels for the advancement of His kingdom all the days of our lives ❤️ Sending so much love and gratitude your way, Sis xxx
Thank you for this. 🥰 I'm planning to work out my business, and this video is God's instrument to start my business with Jesus. ❤
Amen! Love that you're including Him in the process. It's a surefire way to grow in every area. 💕
This is great. I don't think people really realize how connected their success in business and life is to tithing, offerings and a relationship with God. When I connected the dots, things turned around greatly. He does say test in me in the tithe and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing you will not have room enough to handle. (Malachi 3:10) (Great job here Kim, and as far as I know, the only difference between 7th Day Adventist and Christians is what day we attend church.
Thank you for your testimony - we are more than you might have thought - but so few have the courage to express it loudly - God bless you and keep on going!
I keep coming back to this!!
I LOVE THIS!!! I was just looking for organize ideas for trello and it is sooo amazing knowing you are a believer too!!
Thank you Kimberly for sharing your experience and testimony. It is very inspiring and encouraging for me. God bless you 🙏👍
Wow, all that I needed to hear today as my morning devotional and prayer involved around this very subject. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you. Many blessings and prayers that you, me, and all of us can speak truth no matter what others think or say.
Thank you Kim for the good video. As an individual trying to run my own ministry, this is definitely a relatable message. It can be stressful at times...
Beautifully said! Thank you for sharing your faith!
Just what I needed to hear in this season ❤
This was beautiful. You were honest, vulnerable, courageous, authentic...a breath of fresh air. I am following you as I am not into technology, but I love your story of faith. You are amazing. I'm so thankful for finding your channel. God bless you and protect you, flourish you continually. :)
Thank you so much! 💕
So proud of you for doing this! Definitely inspired me to continue with my christian values in business, after doubting if I should continue. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Marguerite! That means so much. I’m so glad you’re feeling encouraged to continue sharing your faith. It’s making an impact! Big hugs & praying a Texas-sized blessing on your life. 🙏🏻💕
Amen! Salute to all my PK's out there, we had it interesting growing up =). Great Video which left me teary eyed. I will own that gem and draw a Land in the Sand" and dedicate that plot to the kingdom! My Land in the Sand will be built on trust and patience to know that no mountain is high enough or boulder too large that the Lord can't move. I will always rise and stand for the Lord is with me on my Land in the Sand.
This podcast was music to my ears. ✨️❤️ coritos, missionettes had done them all.
Just what I needed. You are to relatable and relevant. I remember Pathfinder days.
Just now seeing this video but thank you so much for being brave and sharing. You have encouraged me today.
Thank you for this. So refreshing ❤❤❤
Thank you for making this Kimberly. 🙏
Thank you for sharing! I am encourage to speak up more on my faith
This video really spoke to me. Thank you so much❤️
I'm so blessed to have come across your channel!!!
This helped me a lot. Because I’m always debating if posting too many religious thoughts is supposed to stay out of my business and I felt guilty thinking God would say : so you also leaving me alone ? Like the verse in the Bible when he asked Peter that question.🙏
Very inspiring indeed! Thanks for standing up.
Praise God for your message. Terrific.
Thank you for this. It has been so helpful and so encouraging. I am in agreement with all that you said and believe that God honours what you've talked about here and will bless you in business and personally. Please share more on this - bringing Jesus into your business - with practical ideas. I would love to learn more.
Bless you, Belinda! Thank you for your kind words. I’ll be doing a follow up video soon with more practical examples. Thank you for the feedback, I feel just as encouraged by the comments and all of you guys. Blessings!
I don't even know how I stumbled on this video. I definitely needed to hear all that was said. Thanks for the testimony. I'm now a new subscriber
That's awesome to hear! Thank you! 😊🙏
@@KimJimenez you're so welcome. Continue to get closer to the Lord thy God. The closer, the better.
Wow, this is so refreshing, I used to attend SDA it’s interesting to see someone else online who is,
God bless you Kim. May He increase your faith and encourage to speak more on this, I have a strong belief and feeling that many need to hear it more and more. I recently opened my counselling practice and I asked God to help me with marketing, in fact God was clear that I can not hide who I am. I'm also Adventist by the way. I practice as a wellness counsellor and what that means is that I can practice in my faith so part of my services is spiritual growth counselling.
Everything I put out I am very clear. Tithe is also extremely important. God is so faithful I have testimonies just on tithing, how God will increase what little you have. God First I say!
Thank you, my friend! What a beautiful message you shared with us. This made my day. Wishing you ALL the success in the world in your practice. Big hugs and to God be all the glory. 💕
@@KimJimenez Thank you. God bless you.
Amen Sister!
This really blessed me Thank you thank you thank you! You are very inspiring. You are the mentor for us Christian entrpreneurs who are lone rangers doing it on our own with no mentors or community. :( So thank you for this. Yes please share more strategies how to incorporate Jesus/ our faith into our business more. And what that could look like. Struggling with this as well. Thank you God bless!
I am hesitant to become a life coach and start my business but i just feel in my heart there's the shift and direction. I need to have a strong niche and to give glory to Jesus.
We need more Kingdom coaches. Keep leaning on Jesus and go forth in His name! -Kim
What a beautiful testimony! A lot of Christians need to have role models in business. Please don’t stop!
Thank you
Malachi 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Exactly what I needed♥️
Great video, really appreciate you sharing your business tips and walk with Jesus

Hey, glad you liked it. Definitely! We actually have part 2 of this episode with him. ua-cam.com/video/tMD0dVn2t_w/v-deo.htmlsi=Hqa1PIzvlpGiDTEz 😊
I want to start, but I still don't know where to begin.I feel the world needs more positivity and God. I made planners, and I am printing on T-shirts and daily verses. I'm praying for a breakthrough.
That’s awesome! The world definitely needs more positivity and God, and I love that you’re spreading His word through planners and T-shirts with daily verses! 🙌 Keep praying, stay faithful, and know that your breakthrough is coming! You’ve already taken amazing steps, so just keep pushing forward-one step at a time, you’ve got this! I’m cheering for you! 🙏💪✨
So so so well said 💕🙏💕
I just subscribed. This was so beautiful
Love this!!!
I love your content !
Coritos yes!!! I remember 😂❤
Thank You for doing this video
Keep up the excellent work
Your video came up as a suggestion force to watch. Glad I did. I have yet to launch my business but I have struggled to get going with its development due to a lot of what you say.
I think a video about using social media platforms for good and not bad would be useful. As social media is so toxic. Have you watched the documentary "The Social Dilema"? If not you MUST. Before making a video on negative suggested. You could make several videos as a response.
Oh wow. Love this sharing. How do I reach you for an interview?
This was a powerful video, and I just want to thank you for creating this content! I do have a question about something. I'm noticing that a lot of Christian business owners are curated with professionals who's product/service is teaching other people how to run a Christian business. I don't really see many skills outside of that. For example, I'm a Spa owner and I truly believe I've been called to this industry, however, I'm trying to find ways to incorporate my faith into my business, because I've been noticing that the industry is really pushing a lot of artificial enhancements and body modifications. I want to get back to the natural, healing way of how the industry started out, but I do struggle with being too preachy, or condemning for women that believe in getting work done. It's just something I've been thinking and heavily praying about, but I would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Shemika, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. 🙏🏻 I think it’s wonderful that you’re taking time to pray and ask The Holy Spirit to guide you in this pursuit. His guidance far supersedes anything I share with you (I’m sure you know this, but I’m clarifying for others who might read your comment and relate).
I think it’s incredibly important that God’s people who are called to the marketplace are deeply rooted in their faith, but also skillful & excellent in their craft. We see this depicted in the parable of the talents where God calls the servants who multiplied ‘good and faithful.’
I believe we’re called to be servants in everything we do, and we can’t serve others at the highest level in our businesses without faithfully developing skills in the arena God’s placed us for His glory.
In terms of how to share your faith without coming off as being condemning, the mere fact that you’re concerned about this is evidence of your heart’s posture. 🙌🏻❤️🙏🏻
Ask The Holy Spirit to sift your intentions as a first step and model your approach after Jesus’. One example is to start by bringing attention to the values you want to encourage in your practice through your content, services, and educating your clients.
How you can share the beauty, importance, and joy of natural healing in a way that’s enticing and fun? When you have competing value systems, instead of calling out women who participate in a specific culturally trendy procedure from the get-go, start thinking of ways you can encourage alternate techniques of healing and call them up to see themselves through new eyes. Develop a culture through content, education, and services that uplift natural beauty and build relationships with your audience and clientele that enable you to bring up concerns about other procedures from the standpoint of general care and compassion for women.
There’s a time and place to call out specific erroneous or morally reprehensible practices, but it’s not always the best way to be heard right off the gates.
This is still a work in progress in my own business and I have by no means figured it out. It’s VERY challenging to know when to lead with a strong message that challenges culture and when to lead with gentleness.
There’s been MANY times I’ve recorded a video and never published it, or was about to publish an IG story and the Spirit said don’t.
So for me, it’s been a journey of allowing The Holy Spirit to do some sifting and taking time to think before I just post all my opinions (like all of us, I have many).
So I hope this helps! We’re compiling all of your questions for a PT II of this episode since so many subscribers have reached out asking for more practical ideas on how to incorporate faith into business. Stay tuned! 🙏🏻❤️
Hi I am new businesswoman, can you tell me how you tithe? Do you take 10% from net income or any amount you feel like giving at the moment? Do you tithe monthly or yearly? I am still considering how I will tithe because my business is inventory heavy and the key to expand my business is by not taking any profit but to reinvest the profit to more inventory. Thank you.
Hi, Clara! That's a great question. There are a lot of schools of thought on this, so I would say, pray about it and let the Spirit lead you.
Chris and I pay ourselves a set income every month from our business' net profit. And that's the income we tithe from. Just like if we were employees, we tithed 10% of our personal income every month. As we grew and God blessed us financially, we started to also contribute 5% to offerings + partner with several ministries and charities whose missions are close to our hearts on special projects that significantly exceed our set 15% tithe.
Don't feel pressure to start there, though. We did this over time, as we felt led to.
Again, everyone has different thoughts on this, so I'd encourage you to review some of the verses in the Bible about tithing and speak to a pastor or spiritual counselor about what makes sense for your business in its infancy stages. Hope this helps (we'll be sharing more about this topic over on the podcast since it's something we get questions about a lot)! 💕
HEY NOW!!!!!!!! You know what I think would be amazing, have you thought about starting a bible study or group for business owners who are christ followers and how we can bring His truth, love and light into what we do?! Your testimony touched me so much, thank you for sharing! God is good ^_^
Hey Jules, this is such a beautiful idea. Thank you! It got my wheels turning. :)
PRAISE the lord God Jesus Christ JEHOVAH HALELUIAH ⛪👍💘🎄🙏.
CORITOS!!❤️
The world needs Christian entrepreneurs these days!
Amen! 💕
Yes helpful topic
Hey! I love your content/videos!! Always inspiring. As a former Adventist, the Sabbath is not the difference between you and Christianity. The doctrine of Investigative Judgment is the difference. The IJ says that when Christ died, your sins were not forgiven but written in books waiting to be investigated when you die. Then forgiven. Christianity believes that when Christ died, if you accept His sacrifice, His death redeems you. You are forgiven. He washes you clean and your sins are scattered… as far as the east and west. Be blessed on this day, today, a celebration of Christ’s resurrection and what He has done for you. Your prophetess, Ellen G White, has taught your church leaders that Jesus did not complete atonement at the cross. I just want you to know my friend that Jesus has completed your atonement for you when He died and sacrificed Himself. He has finished His work for your salvation. The Investigative judgment is a heresy. If you don’t know about the IJ. Please do not study it. Just know that Christ has redeem you by His death at the cross and your sins are forgiven… not written in books.
Hi Vivian, thanks for your comment. I believe you have sweet intentions, but I wanted to remind you that this video is not a discussion of doctrine or the teachings of the SDA church. It's purpose is to encourage all Christians to live and speak their faith boldly at a time when this is dismissed and criticized by the world. Let's stay focused & blessed. 💕
lol when you said pathfinder, I assumed you were referring to the SUV😂😂😂 but my context clues said otherwise.
That’s too funny!!! 😂🤣🤣
God wants me to start a business but I don’t know what to start and how he’s been tugging on my heart about it but I’m like what is it that you want me to do what helped you?
Amen 🙏
