Daily Study: If God has called you to start a ministry, a question that comes up is: should you profit from your ministry or should you just minister without asking people to sow into your ministry.

Pastoral Chat: Entrepreneurship is the long game, requiring patience, faith, and perseverance, much like the journeys of biblical figures such as Abraham, David, Joseph, and Jesus, who all experienced long periods of preparation before stepping into their callings. God operates on His own timeline, often moving slowly before bringing sudden breakthroughs, and this process applies to entrepreneurs pursuing their divine purpose. Though it can be frustrating to see slow progress, understanding that delayed success is part of God's design helps ease discouragement. The slow path to success is not the exception—it is the rule—and staying obedient and diligent will ultimately lead to the fulfillment of God's promises.

Daily Study: If you are in the startup days of your entrepreneurial calling, don't worry about saving money for the future (e.g., retirement plans, college funds, etc.). During this temporary startup session, focus on establishing your calling and relying on God for daily provision.

Romans Series: Romans 15:1–7 outlines the role of a strong believer as someone who bears the weaknesses of others rather than living to please themselves. Paul calls the strong to use their spiritual maturity to build up fellow believers, modeling the selfless endurance of Christ. This passage reminds the strong that Scripture is a source of encouragement and hope, and that their example should promote unity within the body of Christ. Ultimately, the strong are called to lead in accepting others just as Christ accepted them, becoming instruments of God's praise and reflecting the welcoming nature of Jesus' ministry.

Daily Study: There is an idea that we need to eradicate from our thought processes so we can experience God's best in our lives. It is the idea that healing and prosperity are rewards for good behavior. The truth is that healing and prosperity are part of our salvation benefits package, which is based on God's love for us, not our behavior.

Bible Discussion: Even though the Bible doesn't use the exact word "caregiver," it talks a lot about helping others. A caregiver is someone who takes care of people. They help with things like their body, mind, feelings, and even their spirit. This can be for people who are sick, elderly, a widow, have disabilities, etc. Being a caregiver is more than just normal everyday tasks.

One day, all of us will have to decide. We might need to choose if we will:

• Be a caregiver
• Help a caregiver
• Let someone help us when we need it
• Or, choose to not help at all

When that time comes, will you be ready to answer? In other words, are you IN or are you OUT?

Daily Study: What holds us back from entrepreneurial success is natural thinking based on our limited resources. For example, God calls you to open up a daycare, but you only have one hundred dollars in the bank. Your natural thinking says, "I don't have enough to do it." However, God's thinking says you have enough money; you just need to use your faith to get more. For us to prosper, we must think on God's level.

Daily Study: Many believers give Satan too much power over them. They do this by contributing God-like attributes to him. For example, God can read our thoughts, so many assume Satan can as well. However, he is a fallen angel, not God. Therefore, Satan can't read our thoughts and bring the fears in our thoughts to pass. This revelation brings peace, so we can process and work through fearful thoughts without being afraid that Satan knows what we are thinking and can use that against us.

Daily Study: From interacting with negative people and having negative experiences, our minds are filled with limiting thoughts. Thoughts like "People like us don't do that," "You don't have the money for that," "You'll never achieve that goal," etc. Those thoughts must be rooted out of our minds if we are to achieve all God has for us to do. The new ideas God has placed inside us require new thinking.
