Today I'm sitting down with Myrra Kate and talking allll about how we run our Kingdom Businesses in a way that goes against society.⁣

⁣

We dive into:⁣

🔸Buying into the capitalistic and worldly desires and strategies⁣

🔸Struggling to find our space within the noisy online coaching industry⁣

🔸How we discern what we should do that’s aligned with God’s purpose for us⁣

🔸How we’re called to surrender in faith AND action⁣

🔸Why prayer (even about the “small” things) is powerful in business⁣

🔸Our unhealthy societal obsession with control and planning⁣

🔸Cultivating the seasons of “waiting”⁣

🔸An encouragement because Jesus lived, died, fought and won the fight for us!⁣

⁣

Quotable moments: ⁣

🔸“When we have the thought of should I invest in coaches? Do this course? Take this program? And then you remember, those are just resources and I have to first go to The Source to get what I need in the first place.”⁣

🔸“The question is where is this leading me to? What destination is this taking me to?”⁣

⁣

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝘆𝗿𝗿𝗮//⁣

Myrra is an online course strategist, blogger, and host of the Myrra Kate Podcast. She helps busy & burned-out coaches and service-based entrepreneurs package their expertise and skills into transformational online courses, so they can free up more time and make more money + impact.⁣
