In today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse is joined by guest Lisa Drennon, a wealth-activator and founder of “I Date Money.” Lisa strongly believes that “It doesn’t matter how much money you have, it’s what you do with it,” and she has the goal of teaching women to fall head over heels in love with money. But what does she mean by this? Doesn’t the Bible tell us that the love of money is the root of all evil? Charisse and Lisa address this question and discuss their individual “money identities,” advising listeners of the following:

• Putting anything above God—which includes money, our careers, and even our families—is what becomes wrong
• We need money to survive, and money in the hands of good people can do amazing things
• When you aren’t in a scarcity-mindset with your finances, you are better able to help and support others
• We have the ability to love money in a way that is freeing, joyful, and helpful—without making money an idol

There are many women today who may experience fear when it comes to making and spending money, which is in turn wreaking havoc on their confidence and sense of identity, and blocking them from getting to the next stage in their business. By following Lisa’s model and sitting down and “dating money,” you will be better able to track your assets and take accountability of your finances, creating a stable and “loving” money identity. Deuteronomy 8:18 tells us that the Lord has given us the ability to gain wealth, and Charisse and Lisa remind us that it is our responsibility to use our money to bless others and glorify God. Yet in order to use our finances to the benefit of the Kingdom, we must first learn how to establish a responsible, resourceful and healthy relationship with them.

As always, Charisse is focused on your identity in Christ. Today she talks about it in terms of how you sell your service or product.

Many times we make it harder than it needs to be simply because we are believing thoughts that are not true.

She gives the example of how we tell people about our favorite restaurant. We never think about the fact that we are really selling it. We don’t feel bad or question sharing that amazing place to eat or think, I hope they don’t think I’m being too pushy.

Charisse also explains how a “sales mentality” is being more concerned about yourself and what others will think rather than about serving and providing the solution for someone who is praying for their problem to be solved.

No one is perfect but we are striving to get more aligned on a daily basis. Charisse reminds us how our identity affects everything in our lives, including how we approach selling.

What thoughts do you have when you think about selling? Or when you are in a sales conversation? Are they serving you? Are they hindering you? Are those thoughts in alignment with who God says you are?

The more we dig into our relationship with God and find those thoughts that are not from him, the better we can serve our Dream Client.

Think of 1 thought that is not serving you when it comes to sales. Ask yourself, would God be saying this to me?

Find scriptures that disprove that thought that is not from him. Find scripture that reminds you of the truth.

Charisse shares a “cheat” she uses to find scriptures quickly and easily that will allow you to anchor yourself to your identity in Christ!

Serving the way God created us to, with the gift he gave us, requires courage, boldness, and belief. That is the only way we will ever reach the fullest capacity for which he made us.

What kinds of things come to mind when you think about money? Do you begin to feel anxious, fearful, or even envious? In today’s episode, Charisse speaks on “money identity,” and shares her own experience of fear and anxiety when it came to making money. Your money identity is simply how you perceive and react to money without even realizing it. It is essential to understand your own perception of money, whether you are a business owner, a corporate employee, a mother, or all of the above. Charisse reminds us of the following:

• Our internalized identities affect all areas of our lives, including our management of money
• God gave us the ability to create wealth, but when our money identity is one of scarcity, lack, and fear, we quickly establish an unhealthy relationship with the money we make
• If your money identity is not aligned with Christ and only dependent on yourself, you will get to a point in your business where you will hit a wall and begin to self-sabotage
• When we are holding onto false identities, it limits our ability to walk closer to God and fully live in royalty as daughters of the King

If you are ready to improve your relationship with money, take some time to quiet down and ask the Lord, “What is my identity with money?” It is then that you can ask Him, “Where did that identity start?,” and begin to undo unhealthy patterns that are preventing you from moving to the next level in your business, increasing your income, or using your money in a way that allows you peace and glorifies God.
