October 19Ep 382 | Relationship Marketing That Multiplies Your Sales with Lindsay Fletcher
Hey Winner,
Marketing doesn’t have to mean posting constantly, chasing algorithms, or feeling like you’re always behind.
In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsay Fletcher, a Relationship Marketing and Sales Strategist who has built a thriving, seven-figure service business without relying on a large social media following. Lindsay brings a refreshing, grounded perspective on how real growth happens through trust, connection, and intentional relationships.
We talk about what relationship marketing actually is, why it’s one of the most sustainable ways to grow your business, and how to create meaningful connections that naturally lead to sales without burnout. If you’ve been craving a simpler, more human approach to marketing, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
This episode is especially for business owners who want their marketing to feel aligned with their values, their faith, and their season of life.

October 12Ep 381 | How to Use Low Lift Collaborative Events to Grow Your Email List With Jan Touchberry
Hey Winner,
Collaborative events can feel like a lot. Big launches, complex logistics, and a level of pressure that doesn’t always fit the season you’re in. But what if there was a simpler way to collaborate… one that still leads to meaningful email list growth without all the noise?
In this conversation with Jan Touchberry, we’re breaking down her Workflow Exchange and how smaller, more intentional collaborative events can create real value for both hosts and contributors. You’ll hear what made this model work, what stayed simple on purpose, and how you might start thinking about something similar in your own business.
If you’ve been curious about collaborations but hesitant to take on something big, this episode will give you a clearer, more doable path forward.

October 05Ep 380 | Get Your Time Back by Building a Team WITHOUT Spending a Dime on Payroll with Brittany Braswell
Hey Winner,
At some point, most entrepreneurs hit a wall where there simply isn't enough of them to go around. The to-do list keeps growing, the business needs more attention, and family responsibilities don't slow down. It can feel like there are never enough hours in the day.
But what if the real issue isn't time?
In this episode, I'm joined by Brittany Braswell, internship strategist and creator of The Intern Accelerator. Brittany shares why many entrepreneurs are actually facing a capacity problem and how building a team through internships can be a practical first step toward sustainable growth. We talk about delegation, leadership, stewardship, and how to stop carrying more than you were meant to carry alone.
If you've been feeling stretched thin and wondering how to create more margin without immediately adding payroll expenses, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical next steps.

September 21Ep 378 | Rebuilding Trust After Everything Falls Apart with LuAnn Collins
Hey Winner,
What happens when you know how to move forward... but your heart just won't let you?
In this conversation, I'm joined by my coaching client, LuAnn Collins, who vulnerably shares her journey through divorce, financial disruption, grief, and rebuilding trust in both herself and God.

What started as a conversation about business coaching became something much deeper.
We talk about the hidden ways past experiences can affect our ability to set goals, show up consistently, and move forward in business. If you've ever felt stuck even though you know what to do next, I think you'll find a lot of encouragement in LuAnn's story.
Whether you're rebuilding after a difficult season or simply trying to grow your business in a way that feels sustainable and faith-filled, I hope this conversation reminds you that lasting progress often begins with one small, faithful step.

September 14Ep 377 | What the Road Less Traveled Actually Requires with Dr. Leslie Davis
Hey Winner,
Some seasons don’t look the way we expected. They feel slower, quieter, or even a little uncertain, and it can be hard to tell if we’re actually moving forward.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Leslie Davis, who shares what it means to walk through those “wilderness seasons” with faith, trust, and a willingness to follow the next right step. We talk about what it looks like to anchor your life and business in God instead of outcomes, how obedience creates clarity over time, and why resistance may actually be a sign that you’re growing into something new.
If you’ve been in a season that feels unclear or stretched, this episode will meet you with both truth and encouragement.

September 07Ep 376 | Is This a Real Need or a Shiny Object
Hey Winner,
Ever chase a new tool or framework, only to realize a month later it didn't move the needle? This episode is about learning the difference between a real business need and a shiny object in disguise.
This came straight out of one of my coaching calls, where a client asked exactly this question. I'm sharing the three filters and the questions I use myself to sort real needs from distraction.

August 31Ep 375 | The Pricing Fears Nobody Talks About
Hey Winner,
Why can pricing feel so uncomfortable when you know you’re good at what you do?
In this conversation with my mastermind group (think view-like without the politics), we’re digging into some of the fears and beliefs that can make it difficult to confidently price our offers. We talk about the fear that people won’t pay, the pressure we can feel once someone does pay, and why hearing “no” feels a whole lot more personal when you’re selling something you created yourself.
We also get into the deeper money beliefs that can show up as Christian entrepreneurs, including the idea that being helpful and getting paid somehow don’t belong together.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re charging too much, questioned whether your work is really worth the price, or taken someone’s “no” a little too personally, this conversation will help you look at pricing from a different perspective.

LISTEN TO HEAR:
Why fear can play such a big role in how we price our offers
The difference between someone rejecting your offer and rejecting you personally
Why charging more can bring up fears about whether you can deliver the promised result
How easily we can devalue our own expertise and experience
Why faith, service, generosity, and getting paid for valuable work don’t have to be at odds

June 01Ep 373 | The Shift I Didn’t Expect to Make This Year
Hey Winner,
In this episode, I’m sharing a change that’s coming to the podcast and the heart behind it.
After reflecting on our Grow Your Biz without Social virtual event, Implementation Week, and the conversations that came out of both events in May, I realized I want this podcast to serve you with more intentionality, depth, and relevance instead of simply keeping up with a publishing schedule.
So today, I’m talking about why the podcast is moving into seasonal episodes, what this shift will look like moving forward, and when new episodes will return. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, pressured to constantly produce, or unsure how to build sustainably in this season of business and life, I think this conversation will really encourage you.

About Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

From the publisher's feed

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals?

With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider.

But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in.

Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do.

My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place.

Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too!

As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger.

Topics: simple goal planning, setting goals you’ll take action on, online business strategy, simplified business organization, action taking that works
