As Christians, our faith should shape every aspect of our work, including the culture of our business. But what happens when it doesn’t?

What does it look like to move from working for profit to working to honor God first?

In this episode, I talk with Tammy Noble, an entrepreneur who has experienced both cultures: Running it her own way and running it God’s way.

Tammy’s story is one of redemption and restoration, from burnout and broken relationships to a thriving business and restored family relationships all starting from submitting to doing things God’s way.

We discuss what it means to build a business that honors God: Where serving clients and employees comes before profit, integrity guides decisions, and success is measured by meeting the needs of clients.

Tammy shares:

• How making work your mission verses solely a means to make money has changed her business and family life forever
• Why integrity, honesty, and love are foundational to a great business culture
• How surrendering to God is the way to go, He is so much wiser than we are
• Practical ways to serve customers, employees, and community in a way that honors God

When your business succeeds, who gets the credit—you or God? And when things go wrong, who gets the blame? In this episode, David Schmidt reminds us that correlation does not equal causation. Prosperity isn’t proof of our power—it’s evidence of God’s goodness.

From Jeremiah’s warnings to Deuteronomy’s promises, David shares why remembering the Lord in every season is central to leading well in business and in life.

How can we honor God in our business?

By giving Him the credit for our success, humbling ourselves, and keeping His Word at the center of our work and decisions.

One Challenge From Today:

Read God’s Word daily. Let humility and the fear of the Lord guide how you lead your business and your life.

Key Takeaways:

• Perspective matters—only God’s view is true.
• Prosperity can tempt us to forget God; Scripture warns us not to.
• By humility and the fear of the Lord come riches, honor, and life.

With men this is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible.

Every so often you run across someone or something that defiles the natural course of events that transform your perspective on life. You might even call them miracles.

The story of Josh Cantwell’s surviving cancer is one such story. You will be moved as you listen to the experiences he went though, and the lessons God has taught him through it all.

It is a challenge to seriously reflect on your life today and not put it off until you are sick and on your death bed.

Reflect today when you still have an opportunity to adjust and create an outcome that glorifies God in all things.

With a 7% survival rate of this type of cancer, 14 years later he is one of the seven out of 100 that are still alive.

God has a purpose for his life and has taken Josh from a proud, self-centered boss to a place of humility and learning from others.

Quote to remember: “The bigger you get in business, the lower on the totem pole you go.”

Listen in and be inspired by God’s goodness and greatness and learn to be daring in your life.
