In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, continue our month-long series on spiritual intelligence in business. We delve into the concept of viewing our business practices through a spiritual lens, emphasizing the importance of spiritual intelligence alongside other forms of intelligence such as financial, relational, and emotional intelligence.

I begin by defining spiritual intelligence as being anchored in the Word of God, which involves memorizing scripture and having personal experiences with God that align with biblical teachings. I stress that while experiences with God are valuable, they should never supersede the truth found in scripture. Understanding how God's world operates is crucial for making decisions that align with His will.

This month on Wisdom's Table we're going deep on spiritual intelligence — what it looks like to lead your business and life with discernment, identity, and partnership with the Holy Spirit.

If you haven't listened to this week's full episode yet, go back to #173 on God's timing and pace in your business — that's where we went deep on why God's timing often feels slow. This prayer is a direct extension of that conversation.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of our new series on Wisdom's Table, where we delve into the concept of spiritual intelligence for your business. I'm your host, Rachel Wortman, and today, we're exploring the profound relationship between God's timing and our entrepreneurial journeys.

In this episode, I share a revelation I received while driving, which inspired me to discuss the importance of spiritual intelligence in building businesses that align with the Kingdom of God. I emphasize that as believers, we need more than just skills and strategies; we require discernment, alignment, and a deep understanding of who we are in Christ.

This week's prayer time is for every entrepreneur who has been quietly carrying the weight of who they think they're supposed to become.

The hustle version. The polished version. The version that finally has it all together.

God isn't waiting for that person. He's calling the one who's already here.

In this prayer, we come before Him and release the shame that has attached itself to our becoming. The gap between where we are and where we're going was never meant to be a place of condemnation. It's a place of formation.

If you've been striving to show up as someone you're not quite yet, this one is for you.

Grab a quiet moment, open your hands, and let's pray together.

What does your business really need from you? Who do you need to become to lead your business well?

YOUR NEXT STEPS

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, dive deep into the unique challenges and strengths of right-brained creatives and chaotic entrepreneurs navigating a predominantly left-brained world. I aim to empower those who often feel out of place in traditional business environments, while also offering valuable insights for left-brained thinkers.

We begin by exploring the fundamental differences between right-brained and left-brained thinking. Right-brained individuals tend to excel in abstract thinking and creativity, while left-brained thinkers often thrive in structured, linear problem-solving. I emphasize that creativity exists in various forms, and both types of thinkers have their own unique contributions to make in the business landscape.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into the concept of being a Supernatural CEO, building on the discussions from last week's episode. I share what I consider to be the Supernatural CEO manifesto—a collection of 8 characteristics that I believe God wants us to embody as we navigate the business world.

Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of integrating the spiritual and emotional aspects of business leadership, which are often overlooked. I reflect on my own experiences in ministry and how they relate to the challenges faced in the business realm.

I discuss the inevitable trials and tribulations that come with leadership. Things like feelings of betrayal, lack of resources, and moments of loneliness. These experiences are not just obstacles; they are intentional processes designed by God to refine our character and prepare us for the responsibilities of leadership.
