Seeking Over Striving - Christian Entrepreneur, Financial Freedom, Social Media Strategies, Online Business, Side Hustle

18. If you’re sick of feeling burnt out, it’s time to put your identity in Christ so you can stop stressing about money.

Today we are talking about identity. Where is yours rooted? Your business? Wealth? Success? Material things? Your kids? Your social media following? Or is it rooted in Christ? If you would've asked me I would have said of course it's rooted in being the daughter of the King…but my perception of my loyalty was greatly skewed and God had to knock me off my high horse. What do you think of your identity? 
 I remember when I realized my identity was rooted in my business and success. . It was a painful blow and a very hard lesson I had to learn, I made a huge mistake at work and I was humbled real quick. Taking such a prideful hit made me realize where my identity lied, and it wasn't in Christ… and a surprising thing happened. Once I rooted my identity in Christ, I stopped caring so much about wealth and I was able to start my hustle rehab. 
This episode is full of biblical truth and scripture encouragement to renew your mindset and get your heart realigned with God. XOXO, Beth

16. Overwhelmed, Frustrated, and Ready to Quit? Biblical Encouragement to Keep Going!

Are you at a breaking point where you want to throw in the towel and quit your job? Do you feel overwhelmed, out of alignment, and trapped in what you're doing in your calling? 
I have felt this way too many times and God showed me loud and clear it's a result of me NOT obeying His commands 100%. I had subconciously tried to compromise and manipulate the situation with what I thought I new best. 
That NEVER works. Instead of quitting, I decided to make a change no matter how flakey it may make me appear to others. Do you avoid obeying God cause it may not make sense to the outside world? That's a sure fire way to waste our time and energy. A hard lesson that took me way too long to learn, so I hope this epidsode encourages you and keeps you from making the same mistake!

15. Being Authentic and Vulnerable on Instagram: What Content to Post on Social Media and Why.

In a world where social media seems like a matrix of fake perfection, how do we know if and when we should post the downfalls of entrepreneurship? 
Do you look at everyone else's accounts and think they have it all figured out? Does it leave you feeling like you are a failure? Does the perfection we see on social make you feel like you can't get your shit together? 
Social is typically not a real representation of day-to-day business. We often don't post our hustle, our scramble to make more money, the financial stress, the anxiety of not being "good enough," the unhappy customers, or the stuggles with time management (just to name a few...). 
Being honest, real, and vulnerable through entrepreneurship is necessary to help build the community, but we also don't want to be a wet blanket all the time.So what do we post? How much of the "real" do we post when it  seems negative not uplifting? The secret is here in this episode! 
I pray this episode blesses you and gives you the courage to be vulnerable in a social world of "perfection!" 
XOXO, Beth

14. Feeling stuck? Encouragement to push past the fear and doubt so you can trust God and step into your faith-led purpose.

Are you feeling stuck? Is fear, doubt, and the the unknown keeping you from making necessary moves to step into your God-given purpose? Do you need to have all the answers infront of you before taking action? What are you gripping tight to that is keeping you from what God wants to give you? 
In this episode I talk about the pain of letting go and sacrificing the things we are comfortable with in able to move forward with what God has for us. And of course, moving forward with God is often one step at a time, where we don't get to see the entire blueprint at once. Trusting God isn't always easy, even when we know it's what's best. 
If you are used to trusting in your own plan vs. trusting in God's provision, I pray this episode lights your fire with biblical encouragement and honest conversation. 
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 
God's plans for you are PROSPERITY, CARE, HOPE, and a FUTURE! 
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12
When you doubt, pray in His name and He will LISTEN to you! 
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 12:13
Do a heart audit. Is it aligned with God and what He wants for you? If not, ask Him to show you what needs to change. If yes, SEEK HIM! He's right there waiting for you XOXO.

13. The Importance of Making More Money to Make a Kingdom Impact.

This episode is fresh from me returning from our mission trip to the Dominican Republic! There are so many things God showed me there that I get to share with you! One major thing was the importance of making money and it's role in making a kingdom impact. It's true that we don't want to idolize money, but it is also true that it is a necessary tool for certain aspects of service and stewardship. 
I talk about how I didn't realize that I needed an attitude adjustment when it came to money, and that I was letting limiting beliefs subconciously keep me stuck. 
If God has called you into entrepreneurship then He has called for you to do something audacious. It's time to stop being stuck, stop worrying about being a slave to hustle or idolizing money. God has your business for you to make an impact for His glory so let's make it happen!

11. Is Your Dream House on Your Vision Board? Focusing on the Eternal Over the Temporal.

I'm cool with vision boards and dreaming about the "perfect forever home," but our minds should always be laser focused on dwelling in the house of the Lord forever. 
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6 NIV
This is such a beautiful end to this chapter and I love that it's where we get to send our Psalm series on this podcast. 
Not only does God pursue us every day, but we will be with Him forever. That is what we need to remember. When it comes to keeping our eye on the prize it's not about dream houses, huge portfolios, and early retirements on the beach. Eternity with God is the ultimate win and guess what, YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN IT! whoop whoop! 
So you can relax my friend. Stop striving. Let go of control. Cease hustling your way to the top. You've already made it. Step into the calling God has for you, work with integrity, truth, and excellence, and humbly follow Him to the promised land He has for you.

Where do you seek comfort when you're overwhelmed, burnt out, stressed, and feeling hopeless? Well good news babe, you don't need to meal prep tonight 'cause He's prepared a table for you! Ok bad joke....lol
Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows. (NIV) 
In this episode we will dive into the details of what this verse means and how we can apply it to our lives as entrepreneurs. 
What's your biggest worry right now? TIme management? Making money? Not being successful enough? Mom guilt? Not crushing your goals quick enough? Feeling like you can't get it together?
