What if some of the things you naturally do in your business aren’t just personality traits—but part of how God designed you to bring His kingdom into the world?

In this members-only class, we explore the seven Redemptive Gifts from Romans 12:6–8: prophet, servant, teacher, exhorter, giver, ruler, and mercy. These gifts are part of our design and identity, and understanding them can help us recognize both the authority we’ve been given and the way we’re uniquely wired to exercise it.

This matters in business because you don’t have to build like everyone else. When you understand how God has wired you to perceive, lead, teach, serve, create, resource, or bring healing, you gain language for strengths that may have always been there—but that you haven’t fully understood or intentionally leveraged.

The class explores:

• Your unique way of seeing and operating. Your redemptive gift can provide a framework for understanding how you naturally perceive situations, solve problems, communicate, lead, and relate to people.

• Your strengths—and the shadow side of those strengths. Every gift has both a powerful expression and potential areas of dysfunction. Knowing both can help you recognize where a strength has become a weakness, wound, or pattern that needs to be redeemed.

• How your gift affects your business and relationships. Understanding your own wiring—and eventually the wiring of the people you work with—can change how you communicate, build teams, navigate conflict, delegate, sell, lead, and serve your clients.

• How identity connects to authority. As we mature in our identity as sons and daughters of God, understanding our design helps us step into the authority we’ve been given rather than continually trying to operate from someone else’s blueprint.

• How to recognize what God has deposited in you. The goal isn’t simply to identify a label. It’s to discover more of how you’re designed so you can bring that design into the work you’re called to build.

One of the most powerful ideas from the class is that knowing your gift can bring freedom. Things that once frustrated you may begin to make sense. Patterns you’ve struggled to explain can become clearer. And instead of constantly trying to compensate for how you’re not wired, you can become more intentional about building from how God has wired you.

This month’s Q&A Café centered around a powerful theme: we are called to build, not merely to fight. The conversation began with Omesha sharing about a massive assignment she believes God has given her, the warfare and resistance surrounding it, and her struggle to move forward without the support or community she needs. That opened up a larger teaching about shifting our focus from what the enemy is doing to what Jesus is building, and then translating that heavenly blueprint into practical business structure.

We also explored how to establish a business from a heavenly perspective—including the Destiny Scroll, Kingdom Covenant of Trade, operations manuals, heavenly teams, and the importance of building according to God’s design rather than simply applying conventional business principles. Later conversations moved into spiritual authority in meetings, preparing the atmosphere before difficult conversations, recovering what has been lost or fragmented, discerning what repeated spiritual prompts may be pointing toward, and praying over elections without turning our prayers against people.

And, of course, we celebrated some really fun miracles—including major business breakthroughs, a lawsuit being dismissed, and the dramatic difference that prayer preparation made before a difficult business meeting.

1. Building what God has Called you to Build—Not Getting Stuck in Warfare

Omesha’s question: How do I move forward with a huge assignment when there is so much warfare?

Omesha shared that she has received significant direction from God about entering a new season and building something she referred to as Goshen, but she has felt overwhelmed by the size of the assignment and the amount of warfare surrounding it.

She described having received clear direction from God at different points—sometimes through dreams, visions, words of knowledge, or simply knowing the next step—but the constant warfare had made it difficult to stay focused on the assignment itself.

Gold Nuggets

• The enemy can keep us distracted by getting us focused on fighting instead of building. If we’re constantly looking at what the enemy is doing, we can spend all of our energy responding instead of actually constructing what God has called us to construct.

• Bralynn described the shift she has been making in her own work: moving from an emphasis on spiritual warfare toward spiritual architecting.

• Warfare still has to be dealt with. But warfare is not the assignment. The assignment is what God is building.

• Nehemiah is a useful picture of this: he had a sword in one hand and a building tool in the other, but the majority of the work was still building the wall.

• Omesha’s own testimony illustrated the same principle. Despite tremendous opposition, she has repeatedly seen God give her the next step. Her phrase for this has been “God holding my hand.”

• The goal is not necessarily to have every detail figured out before moving. Sometimes God gives the next step rather than the entire blueprint.

• A major part of maturity is learning to keep your eyes on Jesus and continue the assignment even when opposition is present.

• Omesha had already received significant business education, including undergraduate and graduate business degrees. What she was learning now was how to take those business principles and operate them from a heavenly perspective and under the continual leadership of the Holy Spirit.

2. Building a Business from Heaven’s Blueprint

The conversation about Omesha’s assignment developed into a practical teaching on the structure of a Kingdom business.

Gold Nuggets

• The first step is receiving and properly unpacking the Destiny Scroll—the divine plan and assignment God has already written.

• Once the Destiny Scroll is received, the next step is the Kingdom Covenant of Trade, which cuts covenant and establishes your business in heaven.

• Conventional business often covenants with man (obtaining a business license) before covenanting with God, even though we’re told to “Seek FIRST the Kingdom”.

• The Kingdom Covenant of Trade can establish things such as:

  • the problem you actually solve

  • the business model

  • the people you are called to serve

  • the boundaries of the business

  • the culture you want to create

• That clarity should then inform the practical business: marketing, website copy, emails, messaging, offers, and client experience.

• Another important document is the Operations Manual. This translates the business structure into repeatable procedures: onboarding clients, marketing, conflict resolution, HR, training, daily operations, and other systems.

• The overarching principle: don’t build the business according to what the world says a successful business should look like. Build according to what God has actually assigned you to build.

3. Taking Authority Before You Walk into a Meeting

Stephanie shared a powerful testimony about a difficult meeting she had anticipated would be contentious. Instead of the confrontation she expected, the meeting was surprisingly simple. Many of the issues she had prepared to address never even came up.

That opened the door to a larger teaching about preparing the spiritual atmosphere before entering important or contested meetings.

4. What May be Draining Your Capacity

Irene asked about personal essence after a previous coaching session with Bralynn had revealed that hers had been siphoned off by witchcraft rituals. (EZ 13:18, for instance)

We discussed symptoms of possible essense theft such as:

• Low energy

• Feeling wobbly, off, not YOU

• Feeling not quite all there

5. When a Phrase or Theme Keeps Showing Up

Irene also noticed that a particular prayer about abortion repeatedly appeared when she opened a book, even though she had never had an abortion.

That prompted a broader discussion about symbolic language around dreams, creativity, and things that have been cut off.

6. The Spiritual Realm is Stranger and More Creative than We May Think

The conversation about very real “death portals” the enemy establishes in our lives and business by rituals, and other spiritual activity expanded into a broader observation about the nature of the spirit realm.

7. Miracles: When Spiritual Cleanuip Changes Your Business

Someone asked Bralynn to share some of the miracles she has been seeing with clients.

Several stories illustrated the larger theme of the Café: what happens internally and spiritually can have very tangible consequences in business and life.

A Lawsuit Dismissed

One client is a Fortune 100-level, nine-figure business owner who came to the Lord after years of involvement in New Age and shamanic practices.

As part of the work, they addressed significant history and trauma—including issues connected to her pregnancy with one of her sons.

That son had filed a lawsuit against her seeking part of the company.

After prayer and addressing the underlying issues, the case was brought before the court—and the judge threw it out.

The larger point was not that every situation will resolve identically, but that what looks like an external business or legal problem may have deeper layers that need to be addressed.

The Stadium Miracle

Another client had a business that Bralynn described as having become “stuck as a teenager.”

Once the trauma associated with that stage was addressed and the business was able to “grow up,” a series of breakthroughs happened rapidly.

Among them:

• Extreme Favor opened a door for a $160,000 reduction in the cost of renting the Honda Center in Los Angeles. Without it, the event would not have been possible.

• The event brought together more than 200 business and government leaders along with more than 1,000 students to hear Kingdom principles and practical tools for breakthrough.

• The breakthroughs happened extremely quickly—within days of the work being completed.

The client testimony is posted on Bralynn’s Substack: God’s Stadium Miracle

The Big Takeaway

The strongest thread running through this month’s Café was this:

Stop letting warfare become the center of the story.

Yes, there is warfare. Yes, there are things that need to be confronted, cleaned up, closed, healed, and dealt with. But the assignment isn’t warfare.

The assignment is building.

Build the business. Build the family. Build the ministry. Build the assignment. Build what God has shown you.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, deal with whatever needs to be dealt with, and then get back to the tools in your hand.

Like Nehemiah, we may have a sword in one hand—but we are builders.

There is a moment in every driven, called, Kingdom-minded entrepreneur’s life when the strategies stop working. You have the vision. You have the gifting. You have poured out for everyone around you. And yet something keeps leaking through a door you never knew was open.

This is the story of one of those doors. It belongs to my client Deb, a business leader who is really, really good at serving people. What we discovered on our coaching call was that her gift gate was in woeful disrepair, and Jesus was ready to do more than clean it. He removed it entirely, built something new in its place, and sent the funniest, most unexpected messenger to confirm it, followed by a mic drop from Heaven so literal it happened IRL.

Does This Sound Like You?

I coach Christian business leaders called to build with spiritual authority, prophetic clarity, and Kingdom-aligned influence. If that is you, see if any of this lands:

• You are the one everyone calls when things fall apart, and part of you needs to be the one they call.

• Doubt, fear, or stagnation shows up right when you should be moving forward.

• You’re good (very good) at what you do…but your identity has been quietly built on performance rather than on who God says you are.

• Provision feels delayed or stuck, even though you have done the work, and you sense a spiritual root under a very natural problem.

A Quick Word on Gates

In Scripture, a gate is never just architecture. The Hebrew word is sha’ar, and it names the gate of a city, a marketplace, a palace or temple court, and even the gate of heaven, the way Jacob named it in Genesis 28:17. Gates represent access, authority, protection, decision-making, and spiritual transition. Jesus called Himself the Gate, John 10:9, and promised the gates of hell would not withstand the beating His ekklesia would give them in Matthew 16:18. Gates can be owned, honored, anointed, named for their assignment, and can also be hijacked by the enemy.

We also carry personal gates, interface points between spirit, soul, and body: gates like love, worship, prayer, and faith that connect spirit to soul and to God; gates like conscience, reason, and choice that connect soul to spirit and body; and gates like our eyes, ears, and mouth that connect body to the world. Left unattended, any of these can become a gate of delay, bondage or restriction. That is why a gate in the spirit realm can need cleansing, opening, closing, or complete removal.

A “Servant Gate” is one specific example, and it is biblically grounded. We find references in scripture such as: the call for us to be servants if we want to lead in Mark 9:35, and the redemptive gift of serving named directly in Romans 12:7. That gift is beautiful. The problem is never the gift. The problem shows up when we overplay our strengths, and the gate attached to them gets compromised, overused, or overrun. That is exactly what we found when working on breakthrough for Deb.

The Gift That Became a Trap

Deb arrived on our call talking business, a beautiful rebrand, a new client offer, real momentum. But underlying the bouyancy was frustration and overwhelm…and it was a pattern we had circled before. Deb had been interpreting crisis as assignment. If someone showed up in chaos, she felt valuable the moment she became their solution. Her identity had quietly attached itself to being needed by people who were never actually assigned to her destiny. This was a boundaries issue that expressed itself as a defiled gate.

Removing the Old Gate

I asked Jesus to show Deb the gate tied to that pattern. What she saw was tattered and worn down, hinges barely holding on, tucked away like a back door into an alley where deals got made in the shadows. Deb named it herself: this was never her main gate. It was a backup, never meant to define her.

We honored it first, thanking it for its service and repenting for its overuse. The first instinct was to wash it and weld it shut. But Deb felt something more complete was needed. The answer was not repair; it was removal. In its place, Jesus built a beautiful rock wall, fitted into the landscape of her garden, vines already climbing it. There was no scar, no outline, and no sign a gate had ever been there. We prayed for anyone still walking down that old alley toward Deb, asking Jesus to establish detour routes for them to gracefully get back to their own destiny paths.

“Then Jesus replaced the lie: Deb’s value is intrinsically hers, just because of who He is, who He created her to be, with no additional love or significance left to earn.”

The New Gate

A new gate appeared, and it looked nothing like the first. It was taller, made of iron with a gold hue. Beautiful vines with flowers grew up around it, and a gold illuminated brick pathway led to it, with welcome mats on both sides reading her new brand tagline, Love Coming Home. We commissioned sentry angels to guard it, declaring that only the people written on Deb’s Scroll of Destiny could travel that pathway, in either direction, for a true exchange rather than a one-way drain.

A Heart Delivered on a Silver Tray by…

Wait for it…

As we sat in the wonder of it, a heavenly crowd gathered to witness the moment, and someone new stepped forward carrying a silver tray. On it was a red heart. Deb described him carefully, almost apologetically: short, comical looking, oddly squashed down toward the ground, not at all who you would expect to be handed something this significant. So we asked Jesus directly why He sent this particular being, with these peculiar looks, to deliver it.

We asked for his name. Deb thought it was silly and hesitated. She had to look up what it meant before she would say it out loud. Gilligan. It means lad, boy, or SERVANT!

🤯 BANANAS!

On the tray was her new, fresh, cleansed, made-whole Servant’s heart, delivered by a messenger literally named Servant. And at the exact second that revelation landed, right after the word servant left her mouth, Deb’s phone died mid-call and the connection cut out completely. I stayed on Zoom, and she joined from another device. We both burst out laughing, because what else do you call that except a mic drop from heaven?

What This Means for You

Not every business problem is a gate issue.

But some recurring patterns are an invitation to ask Jesus a specific question, “What has access to me right now, and should it?”

If you over-function for people who drain rather than build, if provision feels stuck behind something you cannot name, it might not be a strategy problem. It might be a gate.

Some gates need cleansing. Some need to open wider. Some need to close for a season. And some, like Deb’s, need to be thanked for their service and removed completely, so something amazingly aligned with God’s purpose and your own can take their place. If you sense there is a gate in your business or identity that Jesus wants to address, that is exactly the work we do inside the Spirit-Centered Business framework.

If you can name the pattern but not the source, that’s exactly where we start. Bring your energy drain, the recurring pattern, or the provision block into a Breakthrough Coaching session, and we’ll ask Jesus together what has access to your business, whether it lines up with your Destiny Scroll, and whether that gate needs cleansing, opening, closing, or removal.

DM me for details.

For further study: Psalm 100:4, Genesis 28:17, John 10:9, Matthew 16:18, Proverbs 31:23, and Romans 12:6-8.

I had a coaching client tell me last week that she felt “off” and couldn’t figure out why. Not sick. Not sad, exactly. Just... off. Like she’d been replaced overnight by a slightly duller, slightly heavier version of herself, and nobody had told her the swap was happening.

If you run a Kingdom business, I’ll bet you’ve felt this too. I know I have. The vision that used to make you jump out of bed now feels like druggery. The new projects that used to light you up now feel like pushing a boulder through wet cement. And you start wondering if you missed a memo from God somewhere back in 2024.

Here’s what I want to say to you before we go any further: that heaviness is not a message about your faithfulness. It’s a message about your identity.

My friend Donna and I got into this on our podcast recently, and she told a story that I haven’t stopped thinking about since. Something happened with a loved one—nothing catastrophic, just one of those moments that catches you sideways—and over the next day and night she found herself, in her words, “tamped down.”
Not depressed.
Not in crisis.
Just... lowered.

Cooking dinner felt harder. Laundry felt harder. Creativity, as she put it, “left the scene.” She sat in it for a day and a night before a friend called out of nowhere with a word from the Lord, “Open your mouth, and I will fill it.” And even after she obediently spoke declarations, she woke up the next morning feeling exactly the same. Still blah. Still not herself.

And then it hit her—actually hit both of us, mid-conversation, in that way revelation does when you’re not trying to force it. She said, “I’m operating literally in a false identity right now. I am someone else.”

I said, “Exactly.”

Because that’s precisely what it is.

It’s not depression, it’s not sin, it’s not a spiritual failure. It’s an enemy who is absolutely terrified of who you actually are, working overtime to convince you that you’re someone smaller, someone duller, someone who checks out with a bag of chips and a Netflix queue instead of someone who rules and reigns. He uses trauma and even lesser negative events to piggyback a false identity on you.

Let’s start with who you actually are, because AI cannot touch this one.

You are a Son. Not gender—position. Inheritor of the very throne of God.

You were designed, personally, by the Creator of the universe, before the foundations of the earth were laid, with a mandate that no algorithm anywhere could replicate if it trained for a thousand years. You can ask ChatGPT to write your marketing copy. You cannot ask it to carry your identity, because it doesn’t have one, and you do. Every skill you have, every strange combination of gifts that makes your business uniquely yours, was hand-assembled by a Creator who already knew the exact shape of the problem you’d be solving before you were born to solve it.

That’s not a nice sentiment for a devotional. That’s the actual architecture of why you exist as a business owner in the first place.

And here’s where most Kingdom CEOs get stuck: they know this in their head, and then a Tuesday happens, and the head-knowledge evaporates like it was never there. The bills come due. The launch flops. A team member quits. A relative says something offhand that lands wrong. And suddenly you’re negotiating with a lesser version of yourself, wondering if maybe you were wrong about all of it—the calling, the business, the whole “seated in heavenly places” thing that sounded so good in the sermon but feels like theory when your calendar is on fire.

Share

This is where authority comes in, and it’s not the kind of authority you’re picturing.

I’m not talking about hustle-harder authority or “just believe it into existence” authority. I’m talking about the fact that you are, biblically and legally in the spirit realm, a co-heir with Christ, seated with Him, ruling and reigning—which means the low, foggy, someone-else version of you that shows up on the hard days does NOT outrank you. It just acts like it does, because nobody told it to sit down.

Donna made a comment that I loved so much I wrote it down mid-recording: most of us have spent years batting the enemy away instead of putting our throne over him and putting him under our feet. We flick the spider instead of smashing it. We buffet the air—Scripture’s actual word for shadowboxing—instead of landing the blow, and the enemy doesn’t even have to work hard, because he’s got us running in circles thinking we’re winning a fight we haven’t fully engaged.

Authority means you stop negotiating with the fog and start asking a much better question: whose throne is this, actually?

Because in my experience—and in the experience of basically every client I’ve ever worked with—that heaviness is rarely random. It’s usually sitting exactly on top of one specific area where something other than you has quietly climbed onto the throne you fell out of. Maybe it’s unbelief about money. It could be pride masquerading as shyness, playing small. Maybe it’s fear around a launch. Maybe it’s old unforgiveness that’s been running the show in your relationships for so long you forgot it wasn’t you. You don’t have to fix your whole life to deal with this. You just have to find the one throne that got vacated and go sit back down on it, on purpose, out loud.

Which brings us to perspective—because you cannot govern territory you’re only looking at from ground level.

Here’s the piece that trips people up: you are simultaneously down here in the mess and seated up there in heavenly places, and you’re allowed—actually required—to operate from both at once. When you’re stuck in the fog, everything looks like a permanent verdict on your business, your calling, your worth. From heaven’s vantage point, it’s a Tuesday. It’s a skirmish, not the war. Ephesians is very clear that you’re not wrestling flesh and blood, which means the client who ghosted you, the launch that flopped, the sudden wave of exhaustion—none of that is actually final data about your destiny. It’s just weather at ground level, and you were never meant to govern from ground level.

This is why I always tell my clients that the fastest way out of the fog isn’t more strategy. It’s finding out what Yahweh says about a thing, and opening your mouth to make your words line up with His word. Not complaining out loud—that just narrates the fog back to yourself in stereo. I mean actually speaking from the throne: naming what’s true, repenting quickly if you’ve made agreements with the wrong voice, and then declaring what Heaven already knows about your business, out loud, with your voice, because your words are doing something in the spirit whether you’re paying attention to that or not. Donna’s phrase for it was blunt and I love it: “I have some business to do here, I have some change of mind to do.” That’s not soft. That’s a king taking inventory of his own territory.

So here’s what I want you sitting with today, CEO.

The version of you that’s stuck, stagnant, and unsure if you missed God’s plan somewhere along the way—that’s not actually you. That’s you operating out of a throne someone else climbed onto while you were distracted managing the business instead of governing it. The real you was seated before the world began, uniquely designed in a way no machine will ever replicate, and given authority that doesn’t evaporate just because this particular season feels heavy.

So which throne have you quietly stepped down from—and are you ready to climb back up and tell it exactly who’s actually sitting there now?

If this is hitting something real for you, don’t ignore it. DM me and let’s go deeper.

The bible says God knew you and gave you an assignment before you were born. He has plans for you and invites you to seek them out. Perhaps you have experienced glimpses of destiny deep within your heart, yet are wondering how to usher it from the invisible realm and into the natural. Most of us were not taught how, so we wander hesitantly, stab in the dark at our purpose, try to do it all on our own, and pray that God blesses it. God blesses it.

God has a better plan! Your business has its own destiny scroll waiting to be activated. He invites you into a covenant partnership with heaven to establish and co-labor to operate your business from His Kingdom. This book will engage your spirit and ignite your co-creative imagination as you walk through receiving, engaging and manifesting your unique destiny on earth as it is in heaven

God Has Moved Through this Book!

What if the spiritual technology sitting quietly in your back pocket is actually the most powerful tool in your Kingdom business toolbox?

Can I tell you about the gift that gets skipped?

When Christians talk about the gifts of the Spirit, there’s usually a crowd gathered around prophecy. Everybody’s excited about healing. Words of knowledge get a standing ovation.

But interpretation of tongues? The ninth gift—the one Paul himself lists at the end of 1 Corinthians 12? People kind of shuffle past it like it’s the dusty back corner of the spiritual gift shop. Mostly because it doesn’t “happen” to them, so they think it’s not real.

5-Day Tongues for Business Challenge

Laura Babeliowsky, a Dutch business coach with over 20 years of experience, noticed the same thing. When she first received the gift of tongues, she was thrilled—and then immediately frustrated. Like her peers, she could speak in tongues, but nobody around her seemed the slightest bit interested in figuring out what they were actually saying.

“Nobody could help me with that,” she told our masterclass. “I also noticed that people were not interested at all to learn what they were saying.”

She was baffled. She went back to YouTube. She found a video on how to interpret tongues. She practiced. And then, as she put it, “a whole world opened for me.”

That world? It started showing up in her business in ways she never expected.

Let’s Build the Biblical Foundation First

Jesus himself, in Mark 16:15-17, is wrapping up his time on earth. He gives the “Great Commission” (all commands He gives are great, but I digress…)—go, preach the gospel to every creature—and then lists the signs that will follow those who believe. Right there in his final instructions, sandwiched between casting out demons and laying hands on the sick:

“They shall speak with new tongues.”

This is not a footnote. This is part of our mandate as His ambassadors on the earth. Jesus put it there himself.

Then Paul, who said plainly in 1 Corinthians 14:18, “I speak in tongues more than you all”—then proceeds to walk us through the full landscape of what tongues are and what they do in chapters 12 through 14 of that letter.

And what does he find? Complexity. Nuance. Different kinds of tongues, which begs the investigation…what do the different types do? What are they meant to be used for?

The Different Kinds of Tongues (This Is Where People Get Confused)

Dr. Faisal Malick and Beverley Watkins spend a whole episode unpacking this on their podcast, and it’s worth following their logic closely, because this is where a lot of the controversy—and missed opportunity—comes from. Here is a little of what they talked about:

• Tongues of men—supernatural ability to speak a human language you haven’t learned. Think Acts 2, where the disciples spoke in the native languages of people from all over the known world. These are languages with a human audience in mind.

• Tongues of angels—referenced in 1 Corinthians 13:1. A language that only angels understand. Paul mentions it almost in passing, but it’s there: there is a tongue that is beyond human origin entirely.

• Private prayer language—this is 1 Corinthians 14:2: “For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.” This is the personal hotline. God understands it. Nobody else does. Not angels, not other people, not even you…at least not without interpretation. It’s encrypted by design.

• The gift of tongues—this is different from your personal prayer language. The gift of tongues, per 1 Corinthians 12, is the Holy Spirit speaking through you to an audience. It operates as the Holy Spirit wills, not as you will. You can’t switch it on. Think of Beverley’s story of an American woman who stood up in a South African meeting and spoke flawless Dutch—a language she didn’t know—with a message for the whole room.

The confusion that’s plagued the church for generations comes from collapsing all of these into one category and then arguing about the one category. As Dr. Malick put it: “All confusion occurs when people are not understanding that there are different kinds of supernatural tongues.”

So What Does This Have to Do with Your Business?

Everything.

Laura’s breakthrough came when she stopped just speaking tongues and started interpreting them. That ninth gift—the one gathering dust in the corner—turned out to be the key to everything else.

Here’s what she found, working with her colleague Monique in their Dutch business coaching practice: when they would speak in tongues together and then listen for interpretation, the Lord would give them new angles for their marketing, new ideas for their newsletters.

She was in a crowded market with lots of competitors. She needed a competitive edge. The edge came from heaven, through tongues, through interpretation.

“It was really special on many layers,” she said.

For the Tech Geeks

Here’s how I think about it, because I come from a techy, practical place.

Tongues is like an API.

An API—Application Programming Interface—is the connector between two totally different systems. If you have an e-commerce website and you need to accept payment, you need an API to connect your site to the payment gateway. Without it, those two systems can’t talk to each other.

Your business operates in the physical world: team, inventory, marketing, sales, decisions. Heaven already has the framework for your business destiny. But those two systems need a connection point.

Tongues is the API.

It’s the interface where heaven and earth meet. Where your physical business challenges can be handed over to a God who already knows the answers—and where his wisdom can flow back down to you in a form you can actually act on.

That’s not woo. That’s infrastructure.

5-Day Tongues for Business Challenge

A lot of people ask me, “What is Spiritual Business Coaching?” when I tell them what I do.

Great question! (So glad you asked.)

It’s actually way easier to show you than to tell you, but since I can’t show you, I’ll give ‘er a go with words.

The very short version is…we look at your business from God’s perspective, get His direction on what actually needs to happen, and legislate His will into the situation. It looks different every time.

I’ve been doing this long enough that I’ve picked up a LOT of tips, tools & strategies on how to navigate the dimensional shift between the spiritual and the practical, and I’m pretty good at it. (I actually don’t know what I’m doing…I just do what I see Father doing. Trade secret.)

The Lord has also shown me how important operating within the government of His Kingdom is. So getting your legal paperwork is very important to establishing your authority to conduct trade, or commerce across territories. (Think Nehemiah rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.)

So, while our coaching session was supposed to be about establishing his business in heaven, we followed the Lord’s agenda instead.

1. THE SITUATION

Robert came into the session with a high-stakes pitch meeting the very next morning—a potential client he described as:

“Very important… what could be unlocked through this client would be… very big.”

His question wasn’t about strategy—he had prepared thoroughly. His question was how to practically apply spiritual technology and govern the meeting from his throne in heaven. (Bringing Father’s will from heaven to the earth while seated in heavenly places.)

2. THE SOLUTION

• Discussed how to stay simultaneously present on earth and seated in heavenly places

  • → Introduced Robert to the technology of his throne—mobile, (God’s throne was compared to a chariot) a seat of both authority and rest.

  • → Reassured him that his spirit could remain in the driver’s seat (as opposed to soul running the show) even in a high-pressure boardroom.

  • → Robert received it immediately: “If you sit on your throne of authority and rest… that frequency exudes from you. Puts other people at rest. Puts other people at confidence in your authority.”
    

• Identified a specific meeting coming the next morning

  • → Coached Robert to receive the scroll for the meeting before he arrived—downloading from heaven the scope of what God intended to happen, so it could flow from inside him rather than from his own striving.

  • → He understood: “I should eat the scroll, so that when I’m in the meeting, the scroll is in me, and it gets spoken out.”
    

• Recommended that Robert arrive early to the hired boardroom

  • → Instructed him to anoint it (physically if possible), and in the spirit realm: breathe the Father’s breath into the room, cover it with the frequency of heaven, seal every door and window with the blood of Jesus so nothing not of God could enter.

  • → Anchored the Kingly posture: bound Robert’s mind to the Mind of Christ, see every person in the room the way God sees them, and allow no fear, doubt, or unworthiness to enter—not the room, not himself.

3. THE RESULT (Two weeks later)

Robert came back to report what happened—and it had cascaded far beyond the single meeting:

The meeting itself:

“I laid my hands on the table, and in the Spirit, I unrolled the scroll, and I said, “Everyone who sits at this table shall read the scroll, hear the scroll, and receive the vision of the scroll.””

“We ended up having a 3-hour meeting… they not only wanted to give us everything that I’d laid out in the scroll, they said, “By the way, can you also do this and this?” So we got that and more.”

The flood that followed:

“The Lord gave me this word: the floodgates are about to open. Start getting ready to expand.”

“The amount of work that started coming from that was more than we could handle with the team that I’m working with. We had to now scramble to recruit additional resources… and it just hasn’t stopped since then.”

“Within the same week of getting this new client, the project that had been stuck for 2 years… got signed. The second one is imminently about to be signed.”

Overflow: The volume of work became more than Robert could simply consult into—it required structure. He went to propose a partnership to his colleague:

“When we sat down to talk, my colleague said, before you say anything, Robert—I’ve been thinking about it. I want us to partner together. So I didn’t even have to say anything—the Lord just handled it.”

“Now we’re at the verge—out of necessity—we have to set up a new company, a joint venture type of special purpose vehicle, where my company and his company now… it’s just going off, and I haven’t been able to even catch my breath since then.”

The Joseph moment: A client called from China at midnight their time, offering Robert’s team the prime contract—design authority, managing all other contracts, second only to the client themselves:

“That just immediately reminded me of the Joseph prophecy… Pharaoh said to Joseph, only in my throne shall I be higher than you.”

Where the team stood two weeks later:

“These guys that had asked me to join them in their winter season of drought—they can’t believe this. They’re saying this has never happened to them before. It feels like people are just throwing work at them, and they can’t even catch all of it.”

“I’ve literally been working 10-12 hour days just to try and steady all of this, and things are moving at a very high velocity at the moment.”

“I don’t know what happened from eating that scroll and releasing it into that meeting, but… it is exploding. Praise the Lord.”

Update as of this Article:

Robert actually had to postpone his next coaching session because he was too busy! We might have to break off fear of doing spiritual business coaching because it releases too much favor…

Suzy is one of the most capable leaders I know, and I have the privilege of being her spiritual business coach. We’ve run into a lot of crazy stuff over the last year and a half…and she gave me permission to share, so watch for periodic updates and lessons we learned.

She runs businesses. She carries vision. She prays. She works. She leads. Oh…and she taught at Harvard Business School earlier this year, let’s not forget that. She’s been featured on talk shows and in magazines from Forbes to Rolling Stone, and is totally sold out for Jesus!

As you can imagine, she has a lot of spinning plates in her life. And she came to a session with me in the middle of a hard season, looking for answers—the way high-capacity people always do—through effort, analysis, and sheer force of will.

What shifted for her in that session wasn’t just strategy. It was a perspective.

And perspective, it turns out, changes everything.

The Kingdom Is Not Out There. It’s Already In You.

Jesus said it plainly:

“The Kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed… for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”—Luke 17:20-21

The Kingdom isn’t a destination you travel to. It’s a reality already present within you—the life of Christ, the mind of Christ, the authority of Christ—available right now, in the middle of whatever you’re facing.

The problem isn’t that you haven’t been taught how to access it.

Not in church…and certainly not in business school!

Most of us—even deeply spiritual, genuinely praying people—default to looking at our circumstances from the battlefield. We see the problem at eye level. We react, we analyze, we pray from the place of urgency, and we carry the weight of outcomes that were never ours to carry in the first place.

What I do as a spiritual coach is help leaders raise their perspective to what’s already inside them: the seated-in-heavenly-places reality that Paul describes in Ephesians 2:6, available to every believer right now.

“God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.”

That seat is not metaphor. It is a spiritual position—one that gives you a different vantage point on everything you’re walking through. Not escape from the hard thing. (Yeshua often calls us to do the very hardest thing!) But a different lens on it.

The lens of the Mind of Christ.

Four Questions That Govern From the Inside Out

When I facilitate this kind of session, I’m not doing the work for my clients. I’m helping them access what their human spirit, which is connected to Holy Spirit—living inside them—already knows.

We bring the situation before Jesus and ask four questions. They are simple, yet extraordinarily powerful when you actually stop and ask them instead of defaulting to your own analysis.

1. What do I need to know about this?

Before strategy. Before action. Before anything. What does Yeshua see that you don’t?

The Mind of Christ has access to information your natural mind doesn’t. Not because God is withholding it—but because the ground-floor perspective has a limited view. When you raise your perspective to the Kingdom reality within you, you get different information. Suzy received clarity in that session she could not have generated through observation or analysis alone—about what was actually driving her situation, what she had agreed to that she didn’t know she’d agreed to, and what her actual assignment was in this season.

Clarity is one of the great mercies of the Kingdom. And it is always available to those who ask.

2. What do I need to repent of or renounce?

This is not guilt work. This is legal work.

The court of heaven operates on agreement. What you agree with has authority in your life—for good or for otherwise. When Suzy raised her Kingdom perspective and asked this question honestly, she received a very specific list: the places she had partnered with fear instead of faith, control instead of trust, judgment instead of intercession. Each one was a doorway she could close—not through willpower, but through repentance that actually lands in the spirit, not just the mind.

1 John 1:9 is not a formality. It is a legal instrument that changes the spiritual architecture of a situation.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

3. What is the Father’s will here?

Jesus modeled this in Gethsemane: “Not my will, but yours.” It is the hinge question of the Kingdom-minded leader.

Suzy asked it plainly about her situation. And the answer she received was not what she expected. It wasn’t a resolution. It was a release. She was invited to stop trying to force an outcome that belonged to God, and instead to trust—actively, intentionally, at real cost to her sense of control.

For a high-capacity leader, this is often the hardest part. We are wired to solve. The Kingdom asks us to govern—which sometimes means holding a position of trust while the Father works.

4. How do I bring justice to this situation and give Him glory?

This is where the perspective shifts from passive to active—but active from a completely different posture than striving.

From the Kingdom perspective within you, you are not a victim of your circumstances. You are an authorized representative of the King in your sphere. That means you have the ability—and the responsibility—to declare, to establish, to cancel what the enemy has filed against you, and to bring the life of heaven into the dead places on earth.

This is governing. And it is available to every believer.

What Happened in Suzy’s Body

Here is the part that tends to stop people.

Suzy had been carrying the weight of her season in her body—visibly, physically. It was crippling her back. That’s not unusual. What we refuse to release in the spirit, the body holds.

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.—Proverbs 17:22

Toward the end of our session, as Suzy genuinely released something she had been gripping—not because she wanted to, but because she chose to trust the Father—her back popped spontaneously.

Her words: “My back never pops…and it just popped! Something is releasing.”

The body follows the spirit. When we come into agreement with truth, the physical often responds. Not always dramatically. But often more than we expect, because we so rarely actually do the deep release work in the spirit.

This is not a formula. It is a fruit.

What Suzy Left With

She came in carrying a heavy situation, looking for answers.

She left with one assignment—her words:

“Be My disciple.” (She has been watching The Chosen so this was particularly poignant.)

Not just a strategy. Not just a plan. A call back to true identity.

And a promise she received directly: that the season she was in would end. She repeated it three times, out loud, deliberately—not as a wish, but as a declaration:

“Lord, you said it will end. You said it will end. You said it will end.”

That is a woman governing from the Kingdom reality inside her.

Not striving. Not white-knuckling. Governing.

🔥 Go Deeper: Breakthrough & Build Membership

For leaders who are ready to do this work consistently, in community with other high-capacity people—Breakthrough & Build is where that happens.

This is not a Bible study or a support group. It is a training ground for leaders who want to govern their businesses, their families, and their spheres of influence from a Kingdom perspective. We work together. We go into the spirit together. And we hold each other accountable to operating from what’s already inside us, not from the ground floor of our circumstances.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right—praying, declaring, showing up—and yet something keeps pulling the rug out from under you? Your business stalls at the same ceiling. The breakthrough never quite arrives. You feel blocked, but you can’t name what’s blocking you.

There’s a name for what’s happening: hijacked authority.

In this recent live session, I walked through something the Lord dropped on me during a hike—a revelation about how our spiritual authority gets undermined, siphoned off, and in some cases, outright stolen. And more importantly, what we can do to heal and restore it.

The Daniel Moment That Started It All

In Daniel 10, an angel appears to deliver an answer to Daniel’s prayer—but he explains he was held up for 21 days, battling the Prince of Persia in the second heaven realm before Michael came to break him through.

Here’s what’s striking: Daniel’s prayer went up immediately. His channel was clear. But the answer had to fight its way back through enemy territory.

That’s not just a Bible story. That’s your business. That’s your life.

The enemy isn’t always trying to stop your prayers from going up—he’s also trying to intercept what God is sending back down.

A Few Gold Nuggets from the Session

🔑 Your authority can leak. It’s like a hole in a bucket. You keep pouring in—faith, declarations, prayer—but something keeps draining it out. Bloodline iniquity, word curses, inner vows, agreements with the wrong side—these are open doors. Identifying and closing them is exactly what we do in our Breakthrough sessions. (Either 1:1 or group)

🔑 Watch what you own. In the session, someone mentioned praying against “my diabetes” and “my asthma.” That small word—my—makes an illness part of your identity. One of the fastest ways to reclaim authority is to stop agreeing with the curse. Renounce ownership. Speak to your body—and your business—differently.

🔑 Unforgiveness is a faucet left wide open. 1 Peter 3:7 warns that certain attitudes hinder your prayers. If you’re carrying unforgiveness, your authority may not be cut off entirely—but it can be reduced to a trickle. That’s a leak we address head-on in the Breakthrough & Build membership.

🔑 The harder the climb, the faster you rise. One of the live participants offered a beautiful analogy: if you keep circling the same mountain, the trips get shorter as you go higher. And if the path is steeper? You reach the top faster. The resistance you’re feeling may not mean you’re losing—it may mean you’re getting to the top faster.

This Is Exactly What We Do in Breakthrough & Build

Breakthrough & Build is my membership designed to do two things: set you free and help you build the way God intended.

On the first Friday of each month (Breakthrough), we dig into what’s actually blocking you—the personal and external factors that are undermining your authority, draining your influence, and keeping you in the same cycles. Generational patterns, bloodline iniquity, word curses, internal agreements—we identify them and dismantle them together.

On the third Friday (Build), we look forward—at what’s next, what God has written over your life and business, and how to declare and build from that place with authority.

If you’re feeling stuck, hitting ceilings, or sensing that something unseen is working against your calling or business—this is where that changes.

👇 Join Breakthrough & Build to get access to our private community, live sessions, replays, and resources inside the membership.

And if you’re ready for more personalized support—one-on-one coaching or a higher-level program—just DM me. I’d love to chat.

You were made in Father’s image. That authority was always yours—let’s get it back.

Main Questions Asked + Key Takeaways

How do I actually work through the Discover Your Business Destiny book?
One attendee shared that they were on Chapter 5 and realized this isn’t a book you can speed-read—it’s something you experience and apply. I smiled and said, “Don’t just read it. Do it.” The conversation explored slowing down, allowing God to reveal layers over time, and partnering with the process instead of rushing for breakthrough.

How do I know I’m hearing the right God? How can the God of the Old Testament and New Testament be the same?
A thoughtful theological discussion unpacked fears around spiritual deception, understanding God’s nature across Scripture, and building confidence in recognizing Jesus and God’s character through relationship—not fear.

What does prayer and access to heaven actually look like?
Questions explored ideas around heavenly courts, other places in the heavenly realm of Father’s Kingdom, authority, and new ways of approaching prayer. The emphasis remained on relationship with God over formulas.

How do I discern what’s truly Spirit-led?

ANYWAY….

Triggers are more than emotional reactions. They are indicators that something deeper is operating beneath the surface. In this episode, we explore how triggers reveal underlying beliefs, wounds, fears, and identity issues that can quietly sabotage your effectiveness in business, relationships, health, and your Kingdom assignment. We discuss why unresolved triggers can pull you off destiny, how to partner with the Lord to identify the root cause, and what happens when those triggers are removed. I also share a recent client breakthrough that demonstrates how healing a trigger can restore peace, authority, and effectiveness.

Key Takeaways

• Triggers are often connected to deeper structures of thought, belief, emotion, memory, trauma, and identity.

• The enemy works through established “bases of operation” in our lives—areas where false beliefs and unhealthy patterns have been allowed to remain in place.

• What triggers you is worth paying attention to. Instead of simply reacting, ask the Lord:

  • Why does this offend me?

  • Why does this irritate me?

  • Why does this make me mad?

  • Why does this make me sad?

  • Why do I feel like throwing a pity party when this happens?

  • Why do I feel disillusioned?

  • Why does this drain my energy?

• Triggers are often connected to false identities and false beliefs that are not aligned with who God says you are.

• Unresolved triggers can impact:

  • Business effectiveness

  • Communication

  • Relationships

  • Leadership

  • Physical health

  • Emotional well-being

  • Your ability to carry out your God-given assignment

• Triggers can weaken your effectiveness by pulling your attention, energy, and focus away from your destiny.

• God has given each person unique authority, assignments, mantles, and mandates. Triggers can dissipate or diminish the effectiveness with which we carry them.

• Scripture teaches that our attitudes and responses matter. Even our relationships and emotional reactions can impact the effectiveness of our prayers.

• Emotional intelligence is not simply a personal development concept. It is often connected to whether we are operating from truth and true identity or from fear, wounds, and false beliefs.

• Many control issues are rooted in fear.

• The goal is not simply behavior modification. The goal is identifying and removing the underlying structure that keeps the trigger in place.

• When triggers are healed, people often experience greater peace, clarity, confidence, discernment, and effectiveness.

Client Breakthrough: Moving a Control Trigger

Recently, I worked with a client who was experiencing significant stress, anxiety, fear and frustration surrounding a legal situation.

As part of a lawsuit, she was required to open her financial records to outside attorneys and other parties. There was nothing inappropriate in the records. She wasn’t hiding anything and wasn’t doing anything wrong. Yet the thought of someone else having access to information she considered private created intense feelings of violation and betrayal.

As we explored the situation with the Lord, the root issue became clear: control.

Her immediate response was, “Control is my thing.”

Rather than trying to tackle every area of control in her life, we focused on this single trigger. We worked through the underlying lies, beliefs, agreements, and spiritual structures that were supporting the emotional reaction.

Once those structures were removed, we tested the breakthrough through role play. I presented different scenarios related to the lawsuit and the financial disclosures and asked her to pay attention to what was happening internally.

Did she still feel tension?
Did she still feel anxiety?
Did she still experience an emotional reaction in her body?
Or could she remain at peace?

We continued working with the Lord until the emotional charge was gone. Eventually, she reached a place where she could think about the situation without feeling threatened, violated, or anxious.

What she discovered was powerful.

The strongest position was not maintaining control.

The strongest position was being free from the need to control.

Her power position was peace.

Nothing about the external circumstances changed. The court order still existed. The financial records still had to be disclosed. The situation itself remained exactly the same.

She was the one who changed.

And that changed everything.

The good news is that triggers can be healed.

The enemy doesn’t always need to stop your destiny. Sometimes he only needs to keep you reacting.

Every unresolved trigger has the potential to drain energy, cloud discernment, create unnecessary stress, and reduce your effectiveness in the areas God has called you to influence.

When we identify the root issue, remove the lies and false agreements, and replace them with truth, we become more effective in carrying out our assignments. We operate with greater peace, greater authority, and greater alignment with Heaven’s perspective.

This is exactly what we do inside Breakthrough & Build.

On the first Friday of each month, we focus on breakthrough—identifying and removing the triggers, lies, agreements, and structures that are limiting effectiveness.

On the third Friday of each month, we focus on building—partnering with God to build your destiny scroll, and the vision He has given you for your business from your seat of authority in heavenly places.

If you’ve been noticing recurring triggers, recurring frustrations, recurring fears, or recurring control issues, consider joining us. Sometimes the breakthrough you’re looking for isn’t found by working harder. It’s found by removing the thing that keeps pulling you off course.

Breakthrough & Build

There’s a moment Nichole had that most Christian business owners know but rarely talk about. She was lying awake, carrying that quiet, persistent ache that something was missing in their business. Not a crisis, exactly—more like a ceiling she couldn’t name, a sense that what they were building didn’t quite match what she felt in her spirit. And then God…

They noticed patterns of devouring in their business.

Deals falling through,
Betrayals,
IP stolen.

We asked Jesus what’s going on. He showed us some root trauma and helped us clean it up. Then my clients received almost $160,000 in FAVOR!

Yay God!!

That MIRACLE allowed them to put on an event in Los Angeles where over 200 business & government leaders, celebrities & sports greats and over 1,000 students were impacted by the presence and principles of Yahweh’s Kingdom! (in stealth mode!!)

(Jodi refers to the Kingdom Covenant of Trade that establishes your business in heaven according to the biblical template. Let me know if you need one!)

Every once in a while, I have a conversation on the Spirit-Centered Business™ podcast that stays with me long after the recording ends. Not because it was merely inspiring, but because it reframed something foundational.

My interview with Todd Weatherly was one of those conversations. In fact it was so good, I’ve created an action guide and teaching around it.

If you are a business owner who has spent years building, praying, pressing in, learning, investing, and still feeling as though something invisible keeps resisting forward movement, this teaching will probably resonate more deeply than you expect.

What struck me most was that Todd wasn’t talking about breakthrough in the vague, motivational sense that Christian entrepreneurs often hear. He was describing actual mechanics—the internal dynamics that either position a person to receive breakthrough or keep them trapped in cycles of striving, discouragement, and spiritual exhaustion.

And honestly, I think many leaders have never been taught this.

When God Gives You a Word… But Nothing Moves

Todd shared the story of a season in his twenties when he felt profoundly stuck. He had received what he believed was a clear word from God to become a professional tennis coach. The direction itself was specific. The problem was that nothing seemed to be working.

Financial pressure mounted.
Cash flow was inconsistent.
Debt accumulated.

Externally, there was very little evidence that the word was producing fruit.

That tension alone is familiar to many entrepreneurs.

There is a particular kind of frustration that comes when you genuinely believe God has called you into something, yet your external reality appears to contradict it. Most people respond by working harder, pushing harder, or anxiously searching for the next strategy.

What Todd began realizing, however, was that the real battle was not external first.

As he said during the interview:

“The work wasn’t the business. The work was internal.”

(I was jumping out of my skin on the inside screaming “YES!”)

Because so many business owners are trying to create external momentum while internally carrying agreement with fear, hopelessness, striving, scarcity, disappointment, or exhaustion.

Even highly capable leaders can unknowingly operate from internal structures that continually sabotage their ability to receive what they are praying for.

The Part Nobody Talks About: Resistance Gets Louder First

Todd described immersing himself in scripture for hours each day, meditating deeply on passages about faith, provision, and the nature of God. One scripture in particular confronted him: Mark 11, where Jesus speaks about believing you have already received before you see manifestation.

What followed was not instant victory.

In fact, Todd said the process initially became more uncomfortable.

The more he intentionally thanked God and meditated on breakthrough, the more internal resistance seemed to surface. Thoughts of failure intensified. Accusations grew louder. Doubt pushed back aggressively against what he was trying to establish internally.

That part of the conversation felt deeply important to me because many people interpret resistance as evidence that something is not working.

In reality, resistance is often evidence that something is shifting. Most breakthrough processes involve confrontation long before they involve manifestation. And I think a lot of business owners quit in that middle space.

The Real Shift Happened Before the Circumstances Changed

Eventually, after weeks of intentionally renewing his mind and refusing to partner with hopelessness, something changed. Todd described it as moving from intellectual effort into genuine internal conviction. He no longer felt as though he was trying to persuade himself.

He knew.

And almost immediately afterward, circumstances shifted externally. A connection was made through a woman who ran a tennis club, and his business rapidly expanded.

What fascinated me was not simply the testimony itself, but Todd’s interpretation of it. He did not describe it as God finally deciding to bless him after weeks of begging. He described it as a change in his own capacity to receive.

That distinction matters.

Many business owners spend years waiting for external conditions to align while never realizing that breakthrough often begins with internal realignment first.

Why Focus Is Becoming a Competitive Advantage

One statement from Todd has stayed with me:

“Sustained focus creates momentum. Momentum creates breakthrough.”

At first glance, that sounds simple. But when you consider the level of fragmentation most leaders live under today, it becomes incredibly significant. We are constantly interrupted—mentally, emotionally, digitally, spiritually.

Fear cycles.
Notifications.
Pressure.
Comparison.
Financial stress.
Reaction mode.

Most entrepreneurs are attempting to build vision while living with internally scattered attention.

You cannot bypass the process of learning how to navigate your own inner world.

Burnout Isn’t Always About Overwork

We often use “Destiny Scrolls”, or “Books of Destiny” as a prophetic language for divine assignment and purpose because that’s the reference in the old testament. Whether or not someone is familiar with that terminology, the underlying principle is powerful:

Every person must learn how to discern what they were actually designed to build.

Not merely what is profitable.
Not merely what is available.
Not merely what looks successful from the outside.

But what aligns with their genuine assignment.

That distinction becomes increasingly important as leaders mature because burnout is not always caused by overwork. Sometimes it comes from building outside of alignment for too long.

And I think many business owners intuitively know this, even if they have never had language for it before.

“Do Not Magnify the Season”

Toward the end of our conversation, Todd said something that I believe many business owners need to hear right now:

“Do not magnify the season. Magnify the Lord.”

In uncertain times, leaders can become consumed with reacting to conditions around them—the economy, culture, politics, algorithms, instability, competition, fear.

But whatever consistently occupies your attention eventually shapes your internal world, and your internal world ultimately influences everything you build.

That is why this conversation still feels timely to me.

Not because it offers simplistic formulas or motivational hype, but because it addresses the deeper internal realities that often determine whether a person remains stuck or finally moves forward with clarity, authority, and momentum. It also deeply resonates with the work I do with business owners every day.

My heart soars when they are set free!

Part 1: What Is a Destiny Scroll?

I think what I’ll do is make this a series because I could go through all of the parts of my book, Discover Your Business Destiny: Co-Creating, Stewarding, and Standing to Manifest God’s Divine Plan.

I’m perfectly happy to do it that way if that’s what you guys want. I’m also happy to just go where you are and move with the speed that you’re moving. If you already know something, I don’t need to cover it again, or maybe I’ll cover it briefly for those who are watching the recording later.

My thought is that potentially I can do a series for those of you who are paid members, and we’ll do it inside the membership. You guys can be on with me live on Zoom, and then we’ll put the recordings inside the membership.

So first of all:

What Is a Destiny Scroll?

I’m so glad you asked.

I use the word scroll because that’s how things were written down in biblical times. But you can think about it as a book. I’ve also had people perceive theirs as a device that opened up, almost like a tablet or notebook computer they could scroll through and read.

Most people see it as a scroll or a book.

But let’s ground this in Scripture.

Psalm 139 and the Blueprint of Your Life

“All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” — Psalm 139:16

“All your days” includes everything you’re going to do. If you’re called to business, it includes your business destiny scroll.

Another way I think about the scroll is that you either have multiple scrolls or multiple books, kind of like an encyclopedia set. Remember those old encyclopedia subscriptions where they mailed you one volume every month until eventually you had the whole set on your shelf?

Your scroll can look like that.

Different chapters of your life, different seasons, different assignments, different areas of responsibility—business, marriage, parenting, ministry—can all be separate “books” within the greater story God wrote for your life.

Your business has a scroll.
Your marriage has a scroll.
Each of your children has a scroll.

And honestly, I would absolutely receive those scrolls from the Lord by faith for your children.

The Bible says:

“Train up a child in the way he should go…”

But how do you know the way he should go unless you understand how he was designed and what was written about him before he was born?

Jeremiah 1:5 says God knew you before He formed you.

Your destiny precedes your birth.

God knew what business He called you to before you ever knew you’d be in business. He designed you to handle everything required for the assignment.

Everything Is Recorded

Any scroll you’re looking at—whether it’s your overall destiny, your business, your marriage, your children, or even a specific project—contains heavenly intention.

Everything has a scroll.
Everything is written in heaven.

The Bible even says the hairs on your head are numbered.

Everything is recorded.

And of course, the enemy does the opposite. There are counterfeit identities, false accusations, and lies written against people in the kingdom of darkness. That’s where counterfeit identities come from. Childhood wounds, trauma, rejection, abandonment, fear—those things become overlays on the heart.

But the Lord’s truth says:

• You are beloved.

• You are chosen.

• You are a son or daughter.

• You are treasured.

• You are not abandoned.

• You are not an orphan.

• You are not a slave.

Those truths are part of your original design.

And the same is true for your business.

God designed you for the work He called you to do.

Your Business Assignment Is Not Random

Business is too hard to do without calling.

It requires too much energy, too much sacrifice, too much responsibility to build something meaningful unless the Lord actually called you to it.

Now, we can step into counterfeit destinies or build businesses outside our assignment. That happens all the time.

But your scroll contains:

• your mandate

• your mission

• your identity

• your assignment

• your territory

• your impact

• the people you’re called to serve

It contains the word of the Lord over your life.

How I Began Discovering My Own Mandate

Let me walk you through how I discovered mine.

I left corporate in 2009. I had gone to school for architecture and worked with architects and construction firms. I wasn’t a licensed architect, but I worked as an owner’s rep hiring architects for some of the largest construction projects in the United States, including government projects.

So architecture, building, blueprints, systems, functionality—all of that has always resonated deeply with me.

It was already on my scroll to be a builder.

When I left corporate, it was heartbreaking because I loved what I did. But eventually I started my business helping coaches and experts monetize the message on their heart and build businesses around their story and transformation.

That became my first book:

Planning to Profit: Architecting Your Unique Story Into a Business You Love.

At the time, so many people were jumping into random business models and network marketing opportunities that had nothing to do with who they actually were.

That broke my heart.

So the first part of my mandate became clear:

I went from building buildings to building people.

Then later, during a deep inner healing and identity process, another piece emerged:

I am called to release voices held captive by fear and doubt.

That made complete sense with the work I was already doing.

Helping people uncover their real story.
Helping them speak.
Helping them build.
Helping them step into visibility and influence.

Then in 2021, the Lord showed me another part of my mandate through Luke 11:23:

“Whoever does not gather with Me scatters.”

I had a vision of my hand sweeping across the globe, gathering back influence the Kingdom had lost.

And it broke my heart because the Body of Christ has abdicated influence in so many areas of culture.

So another part of my mandate became:

To reclaim and restore lost, stolen, traded away, or abandoned influence.

That’s my assignment.

And my business is the vehicle through which I execute that assignment.

Your business works the same way.

Mandate vs. Mission

Your scroll contains both your mandate and your mission.

Mandate

Your mandate is what you are called to do.

Mission

Your mission is how you fulfill it and who you serve.

Your scroll also contains vision.

Vision

Vision is the future state of your ideal business.

What does it look like?
How does it function?
What kind of impact does it make?
What atmosphere does it carry?

The mission is how you move toward that vision.

Co-Creating With God

One of the reasons I use the imagery of a quill pen is because God gives us partnership in the process.

He establishes the boundaries.
He designs the calling.
He reveals identity and assignment.

But then He invites us to create with Him.

It’s like being placed in a backyard with freedom to explore and build inside the boundaries of your design.

He doesn’t micromanage every moment.

Instead, He invites maturity:

“What do you see Me doing?”
“Now go do the same.”

That’s co-creation.

That’s stewardship.

That’s learning how to walk with Holy Spirit in business.

What’s Actually Written on Your Scroll?

Your destiny scroll contains:

• Your mandate

• Your mission

• Your vision

• Your identity

• Your territory

• Your assignment

• Your impact

• The people you are called to serve

• The blueprint for how you were designed to function

And no two scrolls are alike because no two people were designed alike.

Final Thoughts

I think this is probably enough for Part 1.

At the very least, I want you to walk away understanding this:

You have a scroll.

God already established intention, design, and purpose before you were born.

And your business is not separate from that destiny. It is deeply connected to it.

So your homework is simple:

Spend time with the Lord and begin asking Him to reveal your Business Destiny Scroll.

Ask Him:

• What did You write about me?

• What am I truly called to build?

• Who am I designed to serve?

• What influence am I meant to reclaim?

Because the blueprint already exists.

The invitation is to begin unpacking it with Him.

I had to have an “emergency” session with one of my clients the other night. She was in the chaos of yet another violation in a pretty gnarly string of them.

• lawsuits

• betrayals

• break-ins

We asked the Lord what is allowing these boundary crossings?

What we heard shocked us…she had not only opened a door for them, she was inviting them in.

A childhood abuse sit…

I’ve been doing this work with clients for years. One-on-one, it’s a rhythm I know. We drop in, we pull strategy from heaven, we engage with the destiny scroll, and we move. No lengthy setup. No orientation. We just go.

But this? This was a group. And groups are different.

When you’re operating in a group setting, you have to play to the people in the room—and when some of those people haven’t been taught how to operate from their seat in heavenly places, haven’t been shown that “seek first the kingdom” is a literal instruction with practical business implications, you can’t just jump in the car and drive.

You have to stop and say: Okay, first—adjust your seat. Make sure you can reach the gas pedal. Check your mirrors. Put your foot on the brake. Turn the key.

That’s where we were today. And honestly? That’s fine. That’s more than fine. That’s exactly where we needed to be.

The Portal of the Present: Why Now Matters

If you caught the article I published yesterday—The Portal of the Present—you already have some context for what we dug into today.

The big idea: the present moment is the only portal through which you can actually affect change. Not yesterday’s regrets. Not tomorrow’s hypotheticals. Now.

I know what you might be thinking—but wait, don’t we operate outside of time? And yes, actually, we do. That’s not a contradiction.

Jesus endured the cross by fixing his spirit on the joy on the other side of it. He wasn’t staring down the nails; he was looking through them into what was coming. That’s operating outside of linear time—using the future to sustain action in the present.

David did the same thing in reverse. He pulled understanding from a future era of kingdom operation—one that wouldn’t arrive until Christ’s death, hundreds of years later—and applied it to his now. The man was writing psalms that hadn’t technically happened yet.

And this is also, by the way, how inner healing works. We go back with the Lord to where the trauma happened, see the lies that got embedded in us, and receive truth instead. We’re not stuck in the timeline. We’re not prisoners of the past.

But all that is a longer conversation for another day. Let’s get back to the debrief.

Operating from Your Seat—Not from the News Feed

The foundational posture we established today: we are not reacting to the world.

We are not refreshing the headlines and asking, “How do I run my business around this?” We’re not spinning out over algorithms, economic reports, or what the competition just launched.

We are seated in heavenly places. We are kings. We are ambassadors of the kingdom. And we have—this is the part that still blows my mind—access to the mind of Christ.

“Whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven.” So let’s bind our minds to His mind. It’s not that we hit His level—obviously not—but it’s certainly better than leaving ourselves to wander alone. What would you rather have steering your business decisions? The anxiety spiral? Or the mind of Christ?

I’ll take column B every time.

Working with Angels (not Commanding Them)

One of our pastors in the group asked a question that I suspect a lot of people have but don’t know how to ask: How do I actually work with angels? Are we commanding them? Is that a thing?

Great question. Loaded question. Here’s where I landed.

We are co-laborers with angels, not commanders. Think of it like being on a construction crew. You see a hammer sliding off a ledge, and you shout to your buddy, “Pete—grab that!” You’re not issuing a military order. You’re working together toward the same goal.

That said, we’re definitely not at the judging-angels stage either. (I am personally very comfortable saying I am not there yet. Are you? Cool. Let’s keep going.)

The bigger guardrail—and this matters enormously—is that we never venture into the heavenly realms without Jesus. Not a little bit without Jesus. Not mostly with Jesus and a little solo spiritual tourism. Only with Jesus, always.

This is the line between what we do and what the New Age, witchcraft, and occult practices do—astral travel, releasing the soul into the second heaven, all of that. We don’t do that. Jesus is the gate. He is the only door. He tore the veil from top to bottom so that we could come through, with Him. Grab the tassels of His robe and don’t let go.

Now. When I’m in conversation with Jesus and I need something set up in the spirit—let’s say I need some spiritual billboards put up, some heavenly fireworks over a calendar date to draw the right people to the right content at the right moment—I ask Jesus to deploy the angels for that. I’m not a great seer. I’m more of a perceiver. So I’ll just sense: Oh. He just released them to go do that thing.

And then, sometimes, the angels need our voice before they can move. We see this in Daniel. He prayed and released Gabriel—and Gabriel had to fight his way through 21 days of spiritual warfare before he could arrive. I’m obviously painting with a broad brush here, but picture Gabriel’s wing getting clipped in battle, the enemy taking him captive, Michael having to come in with the full cavalry to break everyone out and regroup... and finally Gabriel makes it to Daniel.

That stuff didn’t stop at the cross. The spiritual battle is real, it is active, and it is very much ongoing.

Why Your Business Is an Act of War

Here’s the part that hits differently when you really sit with it.

When you start a kingdom business, you are declaring war on the enemy. Not metaphorically. Spiritually and strategically.

Why? Because you are taking territory.

You are going into a space where people are either being served poorly or not being served at all—spinning in their problems, stuck in the mess—and you are showing up with the solution you were designed and created to bring. That is an occupation of enemy ground. He does not want you there.

So don’t be surprised when it’s hard. That’s not a sign you missed your calling. That’s often a sign you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Three Ways We Bring Heaven to Earth Through Business

We wrapped up today’s session with this framework, and it’s worth planting a flag here:

1. Take the territory. Claim the problem you solve. Not just the solution you bring—the specific problem. Know it. Articulate it. This is the ground you’re occupying in the Kingdom’s name.

2. Carry His frequency. Every transaction, every interaction, every email, every relationship—you are being His hands and feet. You might be the only Bible some people ever read. Let that land. The culture inside your business is itself a ministry.

3. Sow the profits back. When the business grows, the returns go to building more kingdom—your church, Kingdom organizations, other business owners who need seed capital to get started. The business is a vehicle. The destination is the Kingdom.

My Big Takeaway as the Navigator

I’m going to have to teach and train until I build up a library of training people can go through on their own.

That’s it. That’s the lesson. Not because the people aren’t capable—they absolutely are—but because much of this is genuinely new territory. Not a lot of people are doing this in the marketplace. And that means we have to build the foundation before we build the house.

So that’s the plan going forward. As questions come up in our sessions, I’ll be building them into training videos that you can watch ahead of time. That way our live time together stays focused on what it’s meant to be: an encounter with the living Lord, and a community to process it with.

Are you running your business like a news cycle? Whatever is in your face at the moment is what gets your time and attention, and then forgotten about tomorrow in favor of the “fire de jeur”.

I saw that management style time and time…and time again when I was in corporate—regardless of what company, or even the government. (Well…especially the governmen…

Don’t you just hate it when activity no longer equals progress. You’re praying, working hard, and doing what you believe are the right things, yet momentum stalls, clarity blurs, and frustration quietly takes the place of faith. For Christian business owners, this tension carries a unique weight.

When growth slows or resistance increases, the question is rarely just what is broken. It becomes why. Is this opposition spiritual? Is the structure misaligned? Am I moving outside of God’s design—or simply exhausted?

In our conversation, my friend and mentor, Dan Duval gave language to something many leaders sense but struggle to articulate: sometimes the issue is not strategy, effort, or even prayer intensity—it is foundation. And until foundations are addressed, no amount of execution can produce fruit that lasts.

When effort isn’t the problem

Most CEOs I work with are not defeated. They are uncertain. Uncertain whether their business is spiritually covered, whether inherited systems are quietly undermining their leadership, or whether their prayers are actually producing movement. This kind of uncertainty is dangerous not because it looks dramatic, but because it erodes confidence over time.

As Dan said plainly during our conversation, “If the foundations are broken, you have a big problem.” That statement is not condemnation—it is clarity. Scripture itself treats foundations as non‑negotiable. You can build quickly, add layers, and even produce visible success, but if what you are building on is compromised, instability is inevitable.

The hidden cost of compromised structures

One of the most important reframes Dan offered applies directly to business leadership:

“People often inherit something built on faulty foundations—and then wonder why new efforts don’t fix old problems.”

Many leaders step into companies that were birthed in fear and doubt, and shaped by conflict, compromise, or reactionary decisions. Those origins do not disappear simply because the growing pains are over, or even if leadership changes.

A business can be profitable and still be misaligned. Growth does not automatically equal health. Forward motion does not guarantee forward integrity. Transformation begins when leaders stop asking how to push harder and start asking what they are actually building on. Without that examination, even well‑intentioned expansion multiplies instability.

(We address these foundation cracks in Breakthrough & Build.)

Agreement precedes authority

Another core theme from our conversation was agreement. Not superficial unity or enforced compliance, but spiritual alignment within leadership and culture. Dan emphasized that unresolved division—especially when tolerated because someone performs well—creates friction in the spirit long before it creates visible dysfunction in the organization.

In Scripture, authority is tied to agreement. Where unity exists, authority flows. Where division is excused, authority leaks. This is not symbolic language; it plays out practically in delayed decisions, misaligned teams, stalled innovation, and leaders who feel like they are pushing uphill no matter how capable they are.

Why prayer sometimes feels ineffective

Many Christian leaders respond to pressure by increasing prayer volume, yet remain frustrated by the lack of tangible change. Dan addressed this directly, explaining that prayer often lacks traction not because God is silent, but because leaders pray generally where specificity is required.

During his own ministry work, Dan developed structured prayer “keys”—intentional frameworks that target foundations, agreements, and authority directly. These are not mystical shortcuts and do not require special spiritual perception. They are disciplined, deliberate approaches that allow leaders to engage prayer with clarity instead of emotional urgency. As he explained, when areas were addressed intentionally, issues began resolving that had previously seemed unrelated.

Alongside other tools in my toolkit, I have used Dan’s teaching and prayer strategies in my “businesstry” to get breakthrough for my clients for years. I’m very happy to report, they produce real fruit!

The promise of realignment

When foundations are cleaned, agreements are restored, and authority is clarified, leaders experience measurable change. Confusion lifts. Resistance loses leverage. Growth becomes sustainable rather than draining. Faith no longer competes with responsibility—it informs it.

This work is not about fighting darkness harder. It is about building correctly.

You do not need to work harder to produce fruit. You need to build from truth. God is far more interested in what will last than in what looks impressive in the present moment.
