A Message Every Christian Entrepreneur Must Hear

In this powerful episode, Cody Cottle brings a sobering but hope-filled message every Kingdom-driven business owner needs to hear: Your family is your first business.

Last week, we broke the spirit of poverty and lack.
 This week, God is pointing us to the other area under heavy spiritual attack: FAMILY.

Because what good is success… if your home is falling apart?

Cody shares a raw and honest story from his own journey—rising through the ranks of entrepreneurship, entering rooms with some of the most “successful” people in the world, only to discover broken marriages, disconnected families, emotional absence, and spiritual dryness behind the scenes.

And what looked like “winning” on Instagram… was actually costing them everything.

Growing up in a dysfunctional home himself, Cody vowed never to sacrifice family for business. And in this episode, he lays out a biblical, practical roadmap for how Christian entrepreneurs can build thriving businesses without losing their marriages, their children, or their walk with God in the process.

You’ll discover:

🔥 1. The True Order of Kingdom Priorities

God → Spouse → Kids → Business → Ministry
 Why misalignment in these five areas leads to frustration, exhaustion, and spiritual warfare.

🔥 2. How Entrepreneurs Accidentally Fall Out of Alignment

And how giving your family your leftovers will always sabotage your leadership.

🔥 3. Jesus’ Warning About a Divided Household

Why the enemy doesn’t need to destroy your business—he only needs to divide your home.

🔥 4. The Hard Truth: God Won’t Bless a Business That Replaces Family

Real questions the Holy Spirit may be asking you right now.

🔥 5. Your Marriage Is Your First Ministry

A biblical call for husbands and wives to love each other the way Christ loves the church.

🔥 6. Kingdom Rhythm

Not balance… but flow.
How to build with one hand and protect your family with the other.

🔥 7. A Scriptural Call to Fight for Your Home

Why Nehemiah’s words are a prophetic charge for Christian entrepreneurs today.

🔥 8. One Question That Can Transform Your Marriage

A simple, powerful challenge that could shift the entire atmosphere of your home.

If you are a business owner, leader, or entrepreneur who wants your family to thrive as much as your business, this episode is a must-listen.

Success means nothing if your home is struggling.
 And God is raising up a generation of Christian entrepreneurs who build healthy homes, healthy marriages, and healthy businesses—in that order.

This message could save a marriage.
 It could change your legacy.
 It could reorder your entire life.

Press play—and let God realign your heart today.
