In todayâs competitive business world, many entrepreneurs and executives wrestle with how to remain faithful to their beliefs while leading with excellence. The truth is, you do not have to compromise your Christian values to succeed in business. In fact, some of the most influential companies today have been built on biblical principlesâand their integrity is part of what sets them apart.
Here are a few successful businesses led by Christian leaders or known for upholding biblical principles:
Known for closing on Sundays and prioritizing service and hospitality, Chick-fil-A reflects the vision of its late founder, Truett Cathy, who believed that honoring God in business was non-negotiable.
David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, has made headlines for standing firm on Christian convictions while running one of the largest privately-owned arts and crafts retailers in the U.S.
âFor ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.â â Galatians 3:26 (KJV)
Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you are not enough? Maybe you compare yourself to other women who seem more confident, more accomplished, or more âput together,â and you wonder if you will ever feel secure in who you are.
If so, you are not alone. Many Christian women wrestle with a quiet longing: âI want to be confident in who I am in Christ. I want to live out my gifts boldly without fear of judgment or comparison.â
The good news? You already have that confidenceâit is found not in yourself, but in Jesus.
Â
We live in a world constantly whispering lies:
âYou need to be more like her.â
âIf you were smarter, prettier, or stronger, you would be valuable.â
âYou are defined by what you do, not who you are.â
This is Lie-Locked Livingâbelieving the enemyâs lies about our worth instead of Godâs truth. These lies...
âThe hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.â â Proverbs 20:12 (KJV)
August is Cataract Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of protecting our vision and maintaining lifelong eye health. As Christian women caring for our families, communities, and ministries, it is easy to put our own health on the back burner. Yet our vision is a precious gift from Godâone that allows us to read His Word, see His creation, and connect deeply with those around us.
Â
Cataracts are a clouding of the eyeâs lens that leads to blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and increased sensitivity to light. They are common as we age, but awareness and prevention can significantly reduce their impact.
Key symptoms include:
Cloudy or blurry vision
Fading or yellowing of colors
Difficulty reading or driving at night
Frequent prescription changes in glasses
âDraw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.â â James 4:8 (KJV)
In a busy, noisy world, it is easy for our faith to feel tucked into the margins of our lives. But God invites us into something deeperâan abiding relationship where His truth shapes not only our Sundays but our everyday decisions, conversations, and routines.
Â
Many Christian women feel this longing: âLord, I want more of You.â You may be faithfully attending church or reading Scripture, but still sense a gap between knowing about God and truly experiencing Him in your daily walk.
The good news is this: God does not hide Himself from us. He promises that when we draw near to Him, He draws near to us (James 4:8). Strengthening faith is not about striving harderâit is about walking closer.
Â
Sometimes we live in Lie-Locked Living, believing:
âI am too busy to pray.â
âI will never be spiritual enough.â
âFaith is only for S...
đ "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death." â Philippians 1:20 (KJV)
Â
Fear has a way of silencing us. Doubt whispers, "What if you fail?" or "What if you are rejected?" Yet in Philippians 1:20, Paul declares his unshakable hope and expectation that Christ would be magnified in his lifeâno matter the cost.
This is more than courage; it is confidence rooted in Christ. Paul knew that his purpose was not tied to human approval but to glorifying Jesus in every circumstanceâwhether through living or dying.
For Christian women today, this verse calls us to be bold and brave. To live in such a way that Christâs light shines through us unapologetically, even when culture pushes back or circumstances feel unstable.
Â
Boldness is not about loudness or personality. It is...
âBe kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.â â Romans 12:10 (KJV)
One of the greatest joysâand challengesâof our Christian walk is learning how to love others well. God calls us to love deeply, but many of us struggle to express love in ways that truly connect.
This is where understanding The 5 Love Languages can transform relationships. When combined with a Truth Mindsetâ˘, this framework helps us break free from Lie-Locked Livingâwhere false beliefs about love, worth, or connection keep us stuckâand empowers us to build meaningful, Christ-centered relationships.
Â
Developed by Dr. Gary Chapman, the 5 Love Languages explain how people both give and receive love. Each language is a unique way of feeling loved and appreciated:
1ď¸âŁ Words of Affirmation: Encouraging, uplifting words that speak life.
2ď¸âŁ Acts of Service: Love expressed through helpful actions.
3ď¸âŁ Receiving Gifts: Meaningful tokens t...
âDraw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.â â James 4:8 (KJV)
Do you ever wake up and feel like life is on repeat?
The same routines.
The same spiritual dry spells.
The same longing for âmoreâ but unsure how to get there.
If you are honest, you love God, but you feel like something is missing. You want deeper intimacy with Him, but your days feel cluttered, and personal growth feels stalled.
This is what I call âthe stuck season.â And if that is where you are today, I want to tell you: you are not aloneâand you do not have to stay there.
Â
Many Christian women quietly resign themselves to this belief. They feel:
Too busy to focus on God.
Too unqualified to grow spiritually.
Too overwhelmed to take new steps toward purpose.
This is lie-locked living. It is where false beliefs convince you that change is out of reach. But Scripture tells us otherwise:
âBehold, I will do a new thing; now...
Running a business as a Christian woman is both rewarding and challenging. You are called to balance faith, leadership, and stewardship while navigating the unique pressures of the marketplace.
âCommit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.â â Proverbs 16:3
Â
Â
The Challenge:
Many Christian women struggle with integrating their faith into business without feeling pushy or compromising biblical values.
The Solution:
Start every day with prayer over your work and invite the Holy Spirit to guide decisions. Remember that your business is not separate from your faithâit is a platform for Kingdom impact.
âWhether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.â â 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
The Challenge:
Feelings of inadequacy can creep in:...
âAnd ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.â â John 8:32 (KJV)
Have you ever caught yourself believing a quiet, nagging voice that says:
âYou are not enough.â
âYou will never change.â
âYou are too broken to be used by God.â
These thoughts may feel true in the moment, but they are lies that keep us stuck in what I call lie-locked living. It is the trap of letting fear, shame, and falsehood define our identity instead of Godâs Word.
Â
Lie-locked living happens when we unknowingly build our lives around unbiblical beliefs:
Comparing ourselves to others and feeling unworthy
Striving endlessly to earn approval
Letting past failures dictate our future
But here is the hope: Jesus came to unlock every lie. Through His Word and the Holy Spirit, we can renew our minds and live free.
Â
Romans 12:2 (KJV) says:
âBe not conformed to this world: ...
âKnow ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you... and ye are not your own?â â 1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)
July 28 marks World Hepatitis Day, a global health awareness day aimed at educating people about hepatitis prevention and liver health. For Christian women, it is an opportunity to embrace biblical stewardshipânot just for our spiritual lives, but for our physical well-being too.
Â
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections (such as hepatitis A, B, or C), but it can also result from toxins, alcohol, or underlying conditions. Left untreated, it may lead to liver damage, cancer, or even death.
According to the World Health Organization, millions worldwide live with undiagnosed hepatitis. Yet, the good news is that many forms are preventable or treatable through proper awareness and care.

God calls us to care for our bodies as His temple (1 Corinthia...
