In this episode, Jan Touchberry discusses the challenges of using social media for business growth, emphasizing the need for a clear strategy that focuses on visibility and conversion rather than mere presence. She explores alternatives to social media, such as email marketing and search-based platforms, and introduces the 'nine grid strategy' as a balanced approach to maintaining an online presence without overwhelming oneself.

Have you ever wondered if you’re really qualified for what God is asking you to do? In this devotional episode, we walk through the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and uncover a powerful truth: God often calls us before we feel ready, confident, or capable. Even while Gideon was hiding in fear, God called him a valiant warrior—speaking identity over him before there was any visible evidence.
If you’ve been battling insecurity, questioning your purpose, or feeling like you’re playing small in your calling, this episode will encourage you to shift whose voice you’re listening to and rediscover how God defines you.
What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeAre you shrinking back?
A powerful diagnostic question that reveals whether fear or faith is shaping your decisions.
God meets Gideon in hiding
Instead of waiting for Gideon to be brave, God shows up in his fear and speaks identity over him.
Identity before evidence
God declares who Gideon is before Gideon does anything to earn it.
Go in the strength you have
God doesn’t ask Gideon to become strong first—He sends him as he is.
The real turning point
Breakthrough didn’t happen when God spoke. It happened when Gideon chose to believe Him.
Key TakeawayYour calling isn’t validated by your confidence. It’s validated by God’s voice.

In 2026, small business owners have access to more data than ever—but not all metrics deserve your attention.
In this episode of Her Faith at Work, Jan breaks down the KPIs that actually matter for service providers and coaches, especially if you’re growing a business with a podcast or blog. You’ll learn which metrics drive real growth, which ones are simply vanity metrics, and how to steward your business numbers without letting them steal your peace.
This conversation goes beyond dashboards and analytics, starting with alignment—asking the Lord whether the work you’re building honors Him—then moving into the practical KPIs you should review weekly, monthly, and quarterly.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by analytics, unsure what numbers truly matter, or caught yourself tying your worth to your stats, this episode will bring clarity, focus, and freedom.

This episode marks the beginning of something new. Jan shares a personal moment of conviction and clarity—an invitation from the Lord to return this podcast to its faith-first foundation. Instead of starting the week with strategies and to-do lists, these short Monday episodes are designed to reset your heart, your focus, and your leadership by meeting with God first.
Drawing from Exodus 33:7–11, Jan reflects on the Tent of Meeting—a place where Moses met with the Lord face to face, as one speaks to a friend. The reminder is simple but confronting: too often, we watch from a distance or seek human guidance before seeking God’s direction ourselves.
This episode is an encouragement to stop outsourcing spiritual discernment and to step into intentional, personal time with the Lord—especially as a business owner navigating decisions, clarity, and direction.
Jan closes by praying over you, your business, and the work of your hands as you commit it to God first.

What if sales didn’t have to feel pushy, manipulative, or uncomfortable? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, Jan sits down with business relationship strategist Lindsay Fletcher to unpack why sales is actually an act of service—and how Christian women entrepreneurs can build meaningful business relationships rooted in trust, psychology, and stewardship.
If you’ve ever struggled with networking, selling your offers, or knowing whether your marketing efforts are actually working, this conversation will shift your perspective and give you practical tools you can apply immediately—without compromising your faith or your integrity.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:If you have a solution to someone’s problem and you don’t tell them about it, you’re not being humble—you’re withholding help. Sales done right is generosity, not pressure.
2. Vision Is Your GPSWithout a clear, prayed-through vision, you’ll chase every shiny object and wonder why nothing sticks. Write it down. Revisit it. Ask God often, “Is this still aligned?”
3. You Might Be Talking to the Wrong BuyerSometimes the person who loves your offer isn’t the one making the decision. Knowing who actually signs the check changes everything about your messaging and sales conversations.
4. ROI Is About StewardshipYour time, money, marketing, and energy are all resources God has entrusted to you. Tracking what’s working—and what’s not—isn’t unspiritual. It’s wise.
LINKS:Friend, you don’t need to become someone else to grow your business. You just need the right perspective, the right strategy, and the courage to serve boldly with what God’s already given you.
Sales doesn’t have to feel slimy.
Marketing doesn’t have to feel chaotic.
And business doesn’t have to be separated from faith.
You can do this—with wisdom, with confidence, and with God at the center. 💛

If you’ve felt uneasy about how visibility works lately, you’re not imagining it.
People aren’t browsing the internet the way they used to. They’re asking full questions — and increasingly, they’re being given one clear answer instead of a list of options. Tools like Google’s AI results, voice assistants, and ChatGPT are quietly reshaping how businesses are discovered.
In this episode, we’re unpacking Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and what it means for small business owners who want visibility without being dependent on social media.
This conversation isn’t about trends or tech jargon. It’s about clarity — how clearly you explain what you do, who you help, and how you help — and why that clarity is now one of the most important visibility assets your business has.
You’ll learn how AI tools actually decide which explanations to surface, why your podcast and website matter more than social platforms for long-term discovery, and how to start adjusting your content so it’s understandable to both people and answer engines.
In this episode, we cover:Visibility today isn’t about being everywhere.
It’s about being clear enough to be understood when someone is searching for help.
Businesses that explain things well are the ones being surfaced.
