Mixing Faith and Business – Navigating the Tightrope

December 11, 20232 min read

Today, we're diving into something that's super close to my heart – blending our faith with our business ethics. It's like trying to balance on a tightrope, right? But guess what? It's totally doable, and I'm here to chat about how.

Navigating the Tightrope with a Little Help from Above and Some Wise Words"

Faith – Not Just for Sundays

 Think of your faith as your secret ingredient in the business recipe. It's not just for Sunday mornings; it’s for those tough decisions and everyday hustles. Pastor Michael Todd says it best: “Your faith is the bedrock of your everyday decisions.” It’s like having an ethical GPS guiding you through the tricky paths of business.

The Honest Truth About Decision-Making

Decisions, decisions! When your faith's in the mix, it’s about doing what's right, not what's easy. It's saying no to the little white lies and yes to integrity. John C. Maxwell hits the nail on the head: “Doing the right thing often costs more than we want to pay.” But hey, that's the price of staying true to ourselves, right?

Real Relationships – Built on Trust

In the world of business, it's all about relationships. And when you sprinkle a bit of faith into these, you get trust, respect, and a whole lot of genuine connections. It’s about treating people like how you’d want to be treated – with honesty and kindness. Maxwell says people buy into you before they buy into your vision. So, let's make 'you' something they can believe in.

How Faith Creates Success Momentum


Let's Chat!

This is where I come in. If you're juggling your faith and business dreams, or if you're feeling a bit lost in the business world that seems to play a different tune, I'm here for you. Let’s figure out how to keep your faith shining bright in your business. Together, we can make sure your journey is as authentic and faith filled as you are.

Drop me a message, give me a call, send up a smoke signal – however you want to reach out, I'm here. Let's make your business a reflection of your faith and your values. It’s time to bridge that gap between Sundays (or Saturdays) and weekdays in your business life.

So, what do you say? Ready to make your business an extension of your faith? Let's do this – together!
