The world of business and the tenets of Christian faith may seem worlds apart at first glance. However, if we delve deeper, we discover that entrepreneurial spirit and faith share many foundational principles. In fact, by intertwining our entrepreneurial pursuits with our Christian values, we can craft a business path that's inspiring, ethical, and fulfilling.

The Biblical Roots of Entrepreneurship

A quick journey through the Bible reveals numerous instances of entrepreneurship. From the industriousness of the Proverbs 31 woman to the diligent stewardship exhibited by the Parable of the Talents, scripture is peppered with examples that encourage enterprise, stewardship, and the wise use of resources. 

The book of Proverbs often associates diligence with prosperity: "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." This echoes the entrepreneurial mantra of hard work and persistence. For a Christian entrepreneur, business is more than just an avenue for profit. It's an opportunity to live a life of purpose and to demonstrate Christ-like principles in the marketplace. The heart of a Christian entrepreneur beats with a desire not just to succeed, but to serve. Our businesses can become extensions of our ministry, where our clients, customers, and employees see our faith in action.

Stewardship Over Ownership

A key principle in reconciling business with faith is the concept of stewardship. As Christian entrepreneurs, we understand that everything we have is a gift from God, and our role is to manage these resources wisely and compassionately. This mindset changes our approach to business. We're not just building financial wealth; we're nurturing relationships, fostering community growth, and contributing to God’s work on earth.

Integrity is crucial in both life and business. When your entrepreneurial heart aligns with Christian values, honesty, transparency, and fairness form the bedrock of your business practices. Clients and partners who trust you will always prefer doing business with an entrepreneur who values sincerity and ethical practices.

Even so, the entrepreneurial journey does have challenges. As Christians, though, we are blessed with the ability to find strength and hope in the toughest times through our faith. Philippians 4:13 reassures us, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This resilience, grounded in faith, propels us forward even when the path is steep and uncertain.

Inspiring Others Through Your Journey

As a Christian entrepreneur, your story can be a beacon of hope and inspiration. It’s important to share not just the successes but also the trials, showing how faith has been your anchor. Your journey can encourage others, building a community of like-minded believers striving to make a difference in the world.

At the intersection of Christian faith and entrepreneurship, there lies a path paved with purpose, diligence, and integrity. As you pursue your business dreams, may you be motivated by the love of Christ, driven by a heart to serve, and guided by the wisdom of Scripture. Your entrepreneurial journey is not just about reaching financial goals but about contributing to a greater mission with every step you take. Let your faith inspire your business, and you'll light the way for others to follow.

Hi friend, I’m Paula

 
… a grandma, pastor and follower of Jesus

I've always felt pulled to the quiet, sacred spaces where transformation happens—not in the spotlight of large ministries, but in the intimate moments of women (and men's) lives. As a spiritual midwife, I walk alongside Christian women, guiding them through the space between struggle and breakthrough, helping them uncover their God-given identity.

Faith, Coaching, and Lived Experience

Unlike many, my approach stems from real-life wisdom, not just theory. 

  • As a Christian coach and certified practitioner in holistic techniques, I draw from my own story to teach others.
  • I believe in the power of small steps that add up over time, like starting with a simple prayer or a moment of journaling amidst the chaos of daily life.
  • Through one-on-one coaching, I help women build sustainable devotional rhythms that bring calm and clarity, transforming overwhelm into opportunities for revelation.
I'm passionate about empowering women to integrate faith into their everyday routines—whether that's balancing family, work, or personal growth. By weaving Scripture with practical self-care strategies, I show how these elements can help you feel more connected to God and at peace in your relationships. As a mom and grandma myself, I understand the profound influence we have on our children and grandchildren, and I love reminding women of the eternal impact of their faithful steps.

Embracing Your Unique Calling

At the heart of my work is a celebration of individuality, inspired by truths like those in Psalm 139:14, which reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I see the God-sized potential in every woman I meet, even when it's hidden under layers of busyness or doubt. My gifts—empathetic listening, biblical insight, and a knack for creating sacred rhythms—serve as bridges between ancient faith and modern life. I encourage you to give yourself room to breathe, to honor your unique path, and to make it doable today by taking those first, gentle steps toward freedom and empowerment.

If you're yearning for a deeper connection with God, more balance in your daily life, and the tools to strengthen your faith, I'm here to guide you. Let's start that journey together—save your seat for an Aroma of Christ Coaching Hour + Peace RESET and discover how small, consistent changes can lead to lasting transformation.
