Faith-Led Decision Making: How Christian CEOs Hear God in Business 
Podcast: CEO — Business, Faith, and Strategy God’s Way 
Host: Beverly Parraz 
Audience: Kingdom Builders, Faith-Driven CEOs, Christian Entrepreneurs

✨ Episode Summary

 Are you a Christian entrepreneur trying to make decisions without second‑guessing yourself? 
In this episode, we break down five biblical markers that help you recognize God’s voice in every business decision — without confusion, fear, or pressure. You’ll learn how to separate God’s leading from your own emotions, how to test decisions with Scripture, how to follow peace instead of urgency, and how to use wisdom, counsel, and fruit to confirm direction.

We walk through real biblical examples from Jesus, Moses, and Paul — plus practical, repeatable steps you can use immediately in your leadership, hiring, partnerships, and strategic decisions.

🧭 Coaching Session: Reflection Questions

 Five Awareness Questions (Journal Prompts):

1. Where have you been operating as an owner instead of a steward?
2. Which part of your leadership feels out of balance — authority or gentleness?
3. Where are you undervaluing your worth or overextending yourself?
4. What decisions have you been making without wisdom, counsel, or clarity?
5. What part of your leadership is God inviting you to see differently?

🛠️ Practical Application for the Week

 Immediate Action Steps (Repeatable Framework)

• Pause: Before your next decision, take a 60–90‑second values pause.
• Pray specifically: “Lord, show me what aligns with Your heart.”
• Check for Peace: Name whether you feel peace or pressure.
• Seek Counsel: Schedule a 15–30‑minute call with a trusted advisor.
• Pilot: Design a 30‑day test to validate your riskiest assumption.
• Integrity Test: Ask, “Would I be comfortable explaining this publicly?”

🙏 Prayer from the Episode

  Lord, quiet every competing voice and center my heart in Your peace. Lead me with clarity, steady me with wisdom, and guide every decision I make today. Amen.

✨ Episode Summary

 In this episode, Beverly dives deep into one of the most common questions Christian CEOs ask:
“How do I know if this decision is from God?”

Whether you’re leading a team, launching something new, or navigating a major opportunity, the tension between strategy and surrender is real. Beverly breaks down how to discern God’s voice, how to separate wisdom from fear, and how to make decisions that honor God while still moving your business forward.

You’ll explore:

4. Who sharpened me in this decision?
5. What is God’s track record with me?

5. Proceed — Move with peace, not pressure.
6. Praise — Thank God for leading you before you see the outcome.
