Practical Takeaways: How to Build a Kingdom-Centered Business

✦ Discern God’s Guidance—Regularly ask, “What do you want me to know?” Shift from seeking just direction to deepening your relationship with God through your business decisions.
✦ Seek Wise Counsel—Choose mentors with experience (wrinkles and scars). Look for people who have faced challenges and grown from them, rather than relying on those who lack real-world experience.
✦ Balance Action and Trust—Take small steps instead of rushing.
Move forward with a humble heart, being open to God’s redirection rather than forcing outcomes.
✦ Practice Stillness—Train yourself to be still and hear God (Psalm 46:10). Cut through the noise by setting aside quiet time to reflect and listen.
✦ Reflect Regularly—Summarize your week to recognize how God has been speaking. Writing down your thoughts and reviewing them helps you see patterns of God’s guidance you might have missed.
✦ Align Business Practices with Kingdom Values—Prioritize moral excellence and integrity. Ask yourself, “Does this decision honor God?” and adjust when needed to maintain a kingdom mindset.
✦ Stay Connected—Prioritize friendship with God over productivity. Cultivate your relationship with God daily to keep your priorities aligned.
