Is it okay for Christians to want success? Should we feel guilty for setting big goals, earning money, or building influence?

In this episode, I’m joined by Brett Henderson, founder of Clickmill.co and a digital marketing expert for Christian and private schools, to have an inspiring conversation about what biblical success actually looks like.

We discuss:

• The difference between worldly vs. godly success

• Why many Christian professionals and pastors burn out

• The 5-step strategy Jesus used for growth (and how we often do the opposite)

• How to set ambitious goals with God without guilt

• What it really means to be shrewd as a serpent and innocent as a dove

  
  

Whether you're in business, ministry, or still discerning your next step, this episode will encourage you to dream big, and surrender even bigger.

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
