And when we do that and we relinquish things, we experience overflow. We get out of being stuck,

stagnant, imprisoned to being free and fulfilled and experiencing fruit. I'm coming. Here I am. Here I am. I'm coming. I've got all my drinks. I've got my phone right here. I've got my microphone. I think I'm going to do a great job. Am I going to do a great job? I don't know if I'm going to do a great job. Let me think about if this was going to go well or badly. I probably need to just redo my outline 13 times. Hi. Does that sound familiar to any of you?

This one thing that I just did.

Can any of you guess what it is?

That thing that I just did is keeping you stuck.

It's holding you back from experiencing the favor of God and the breakthrough in your business.

And so many of us do it.

What is it?

Control.

Control is a nasty little bugger.

It often masquerades itself as wisdom, as preparedness, as productivity, maybe even stewardship. But stewardship partners with God.

Control replaces it. Control is our dependence on ourselves. It is not us relinquishing control

to God. Control says, all obey when I understand. Control says, all relinquish when you give me

the big aha or the outcome that I fully need to comprehend. Proverbs 3-5 reminds us,

trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. So that's what we're

diving into today because we can no longer let control keep us captive from the business that

God has, from the clarity that's available, and ultimately from the cash flow that we're going to

need to get when we have a simple scalable business that came from moving forward in faith.

Welcome to God-led business. I'm Steph Cass. After a decade of striving, I surrendered the

world's way for God's way. And he showed me how to grow a profitable business through podcasting.

Now I help others take the next right step with God to build a simple,

scalable business that protects their family, faith, and peace, all while glorifying him.
