Delving into the story of Jesus teaching his disciples about the power of faith, Jeanette uncovers wise insights applicable to modern-day business strategies. Through a deep dive into biblical passages, she will give you a reliable way to overcome doubt and fear, stepping into your role as an unstoppable kingdom entrepreneur.

"It's not so that we can have it and just be a rich ruler, but so that we can have it and give it to the kingdom and show people what God looks like."

"If I have impatience and don't actually believe that it's going to come through, that's when we start refreshing the screen, turning our Wi-Fi on and off. But when I know that my God, the God that created the universe, is going to come through, no matter what, I can sit there and wait for it."

"God's got this. As long as we walk with what we're supposed to do and do it how God tells us to do it, even if it doesn't make sense, the outcome is not ours. The outcome is His."

"It is not your job to create something. It's His. It's your job to be obedient. So when we walk with that confidence, there's nothing that can stop us."

Bible Verses:

Matthew 17:14-20

And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him, said, 'Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.' And Jesus answered, 'O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.' And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not cast it out?' He said to them, 'Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you (ESV)

Hey girl. Hey, welcome to this episode of unapologetically unstoppable. Building businesses with the Holy Spirit. Oh my goodness. So when we talk about the Holy Spirit, we're also talking about our faith, right? And our faith and what that means and how to believe and believing for more and for bigger. I feel like when we talk about our faith, it's not always in the context of business, right?

So when I think about my faith, I think about, I think about, I go to church, I have faith for that. I have faith for God to do what he says he's going to do. But not always necessarily in my business and this week i'm hosting a seven day masterclass workshop if you will called seven days of faith and focus to refocus your life on jesus to receive the abundance and blessing that he has for you and your business because We're in this to make money right and to be blessed abundantly by god the father To be able to give it to other people right?

It's not so that we can have it and just Be a rich ruler and so that way we can have it and give it to the kingdom and spread it out And show people what god looks like, right? Show him show show them what god looks like in the face of other things and other atrocities, right? Okay, so that's our calling as christians as believers.

That's what we do. So let's talk about faith So I was I was reading matthew Side note, Matthew is my favorite gospel. I was talking to my friend, and we were talking about what our favorite gospels was, and what we've been reading lately, and lately I've actually been reading Luke, but Matthew's my favorite, because he's just so like, cut and dry, to the point, and that's kind of how I am, you know what I mean?

Like, I'm just like, no, this, no, this, these are the facts, let's talk through it, but these are the facts. Okay, so in the Bible, it's talking about Moving mountains. I don't know if you've heard this story. I'll explain to you in just a second, but it's talking about moving mountains and what it looks like for people to move mountains with their faith.

Okay. So let's talk about our business and faith for our business, right? So when we have things in our business that we're believing for, who do you turn to, to ask, Hey, is this working? Hey, is this going to look right? I like data. So a lot of times I look at the data, I look at the data, I'll talk to my coach about strategy.

I will talk to other people in the marketplace who've done things similar to what I've done and ask them how theirs is going. But a lot of times it has nothing to do with that. And we're all unique and have a unique mission. So I shouldn't be asking all those people necessarily how they're doing things or what it should look like.

Because I don't have faith in God. You know what I'm saying? It's like I'm lacking that faith in God that he's going to bring me the people, the provision, the, the things that I need in order to be successful. So let's talk about how to grow that faith. Because when we have the faith to know that God is going to bring us through, that God is going to deliver the people who need to be in our orbit, the people who need to be touched by us, blessed by us, We don't have to worry about the outcome.

We have to be obedient in the steps and not necessarily worry about the outcome Okay, so in Matthew 17, um, they went to Jesus, this is right before he was about to die, and they're like, hey, Jesus, um, why, why couldn't we cast this demon out of this boy? Because they had been trying to cast this demon out.

This is Matthew 17, this is like 14 through 20 that I'm kind of going through. Okay, so there's a crowd, there was this boy who had a demon, and They tried to bring, bring out the demon. They tried to bring the demon out of the boy, and it didn't work. The disciples did. And he was, they were like, why, why?

They took Jesus aside and was like, Yo, I thought you said that we would be able to do this. I thought you said that I would be able to do this. How many times in business have we thought about that? I mean like, God, why can't I do this? I thought that I would be able to do this. I thought you said this is something that I would be able to do.

And we're like, okay, God, if you said that I was supposed to be able to do this, why can't I do it? Why am I having such a hard time? Why can't I go through with this? Why is it not working out? The way you said it was going to work out, God, this is not working. This is not working. And he said, Oh, faithless and twisted generation.

How long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me. This is when he was like, dude, you messed up. Okay. Just bring the kid to me. I got this. Okay. Can you just have faith a little bit? Can you just have a little bit of faith? And so, they asked Mark if he could cast it out, and he said to them, this is verse 20.

Because of your little faith, for truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. Okay, so that's a whole preach right there, right? That's just a whole word. Obvi. But, let me try and break it down.

Um, in our business, Right in the things that we have that we're going for. We need to have faith even as small as a mustard seed I was talking to some friends over on my sharecast The other day and I was talking to them about me and my husband are IT professional Certified nerds, right? So I was like, okay me and my husband were talking about us on the sharecast I was telling them about this story that I'm about to tell you right now, which is me and me and Austin We're talking about What does that look like?

If we have faith, right? Like, what does that look like? What kind of faith do we have to have, right? And so we were talking about, like, okay, do I have, like, dial up speed faith? Do I have, like, DSL speed faith? Do I have, like, like satellite internet speed faith? Do I have fiber speed faith? Right? Like how big, like the pipeline, how, how expansive is my faith?

And there's another thing. This can get real nerdy. I'm just going to break it down for y'all. There's, there's two types of packets, right? A UDP packet and a TCP packet. One is for connection, like, which is video. Like you want to get all of the packets that are coming through the internet in order. And one is connection lists, right?

So when you're, when you're listening to Live, live video, recorded video versus live video. If I'm, I'm doing recorded video, I'm going to try and get all the packets. But if some packets don't come through, they just get skipped, right? That's when you get to all the graininess and it's like, Oh no, it's buffering, I'm getting lag, that's lag.

But when I know, on that DSL, on that dial up, when I know that my, that my God, the God that created the universe, is going to come through, no matter what, I can sit there and wait for it. I can sit there and wait for all the packets to come through. But, If I have impatience and I don't actually believe that it's going to come through, that's when we start refreshing the screen.

That's when we start going to a different page. That's when we start turning our Wi Fi on and off, or disconnecting it and then turning it back on, or whatever that thing is, because we don't actually believe that it's coming through. We don't actually believe that it's going to come through the way that we think it's going to come through, which it doesn't always come through the way we think it's going to come through, right?

Because, Our faith is different. So he says, because of your little faith for truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain move from here to there and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you. It's like not having any doubt. So the next time God tells you to do something in your business, I want you to think, is there any part of me that doubts this?

Is there any part of me that thinks that this can't be true? Is my doubt bigger than my belief? Is there something that I need to reframe in my mind? To remember that the God of the universe, the God that created the universe is my God that is going to bring through whatever this thing is, whatever he has already told you, right?

I'm not saying that you just want something to want something, but no, this, these are the promises that God has given you and said, you are going to do X, Y, and Z. So you need to trust and believe. Fully with your whole body soul and heart, which I'm not saying that's easy I'm not at all saying that's easy because a lot of times I have problems with that you would you would think that I don't But I have a lot of faith issues And so when I'm walking through a season where I'm like God, I don't know if this is gonna come through God I don't know if you're even there God.

Are you are you coming through for me God? Can you please? When I get down on my knees and I pray to God and I ask him, God, can you please come through for me? That's because I have a little bit of doubt. But if I step out saying, God is gonna come through. I know that God is gonna come, it might not be when I need him to, but I know he's gonna come through because I know he loves me and he's there for me.

I'm not coming from a place of fear, I'm coming from a place of confidence. And sometimes, you don't have the confidence, but you have to borrow it from somebody. Or you have to get it from somebody else. And I'm telling you right now, I'm that person for you. I will help you believe for more, believe for bigger because of what God has already told you.

Not because you're making something up and you're wishing for something. God is not a genie in a bottle. He makes promises and he keeps them. So if God has already promised you something, I want you to walk in faith, in confidence, the holy confidence that God has for you. If you are so confident that God died on the cross for you, then you need to have confidence that his promises are also true.

So in our business, I want you to do this in your business, our business, we're kingdom business owners. So it's our business. Okay. Let's just break it down like that. It is our business. It is our job as kingdom entrepreneurs to walk with the confidence that nothing can stop us to walk with the confidence, knowing that we are already seated in heavenly places to walk with the confidence that we are who God says we are.

And we don't have to worry about anything else. Because God's got this as long as we walk with what we're supposed to do And do it how God tells us to do it, even if it doesn't make sense The outcome is not ours. The outcome is his so if it fails quote unquote Or if he's teaching us something and it doesn't come out how we thought it should It's always going to come out how God wants it to because we are his And his, his problem is your business, not you.

It is not your job to create something. It's his, it's your job to be obedient. So when we walk with that confidence, there's nothing that can stop us. And that my friend, that right there is how we become unstoppable.
