Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bostup podcast.

The title of today's episode is the relationship between grace and grind.

I believe that when you are someone who's trying to do business God's way, sometimes it can get confusing as far as where do I fit.

And especially when it comes to business, I believe that sometimes we understand the spiritual side.

You know, we know to pray. We know to fast. We know to read our word.

We know to get involved in our church community. We know to live right to sleep, repent for our sins.

We understand that part. But when it comes to building whatever it is that God has called us to do, sometimes there's a level of confusion.

Okay, well, what do I do? Is this me? Is this God? Where do I fit in this?

If I do something that I enjoy, does that mean that I'm out of alignment?

If I go full force at what I'm hearing him tell me to do, does that mean that I'm outside of his timing and trying to do it in my own strength?

There's so much internal conflict and noise that could just make it stressful outside of the outside stuff you're going to have to deal with.

It's internal conflict can be really stressful. I remember when I first started doing business God's way and I was learning how to make God to CEO, I would get confused.

I'm like, okay, God, I hear what you saying. And I understand that there's an element of myself, my inner hustler.

I'm always trying to tame that can just go out and try to make this happen.

But I don't want to do that because I want to make sure that I'm moving at your pace and your timing.

So like, what do I do? Where do I fit? Where do I apply this work ethic you've given me? Where do I apply my excitement?

And how do I apply it so that I don't end up in a position where I'm outside of your will?

And I was reflecting on that earlier this week and I wanted to do this episode on the relationship between grace and grind

because I believe that there's just there's this flow that you have to operate in as a kingdom entrepreneur, where yeah, you can have that crazy work ethic.
