Summary

So you’ve got a big business idea, but you can’t shake the question, "Is this really from God, or is it just me?" As Christian entrepreneurs, it can be hard to tell the difference between Holy Spirit prompting and our own ambition. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how to discern whether your idea is truly God-breathed. Let's dive into lessons I’ve learned about recognizing the difference between Spirit-led vision and self-led plans. I’ve chased ideas that weren’t from Him, and I’ve also experienced what happens when you walk in His will. If you’re seeking clarity and peace that you're walking in God’s plans for your business, this conversation will help you tune into His voice and learn to move forward in faith.

0:25.7	Have you ever had a big business idea drop into your heart and you instantly wondered, wait,
0:34.9	was that from God? Or was that just me? What was that? Listen, you're not alone. As Christian entrepreneurs, it is really hard to tell the difference between Holy Spirit sometimes
0:39.2	and our own ambition. Did that idea come from an outside source, something I was listening to,

1:04.1	the words of the Lord versus chasing a worldly idea. I'm going to be sharing my experience with this because Lori knows,
1:13.6	pun intended, that I have definitely had worldly ideas. And sometimes I've acted on them and they
1:19.4	haven't led me to the best outcome. So I want to help you learn from my experience and also
1:26.7	dive into some biblical truths that
1:28.3	can help give you peace that you are walking in his plans for you.
