How To: Faith Based Business
As a faith-based entrepreneur, you’re not just building a business—you’re walking in a calling. Your work is more than just a way to earn a living; it’s an opportunity to serve others, glorify God, and make a lasting impact. But running a business comes with challenges, and without God at the center, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, directionless, or burnt out. The good news? You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. By intentionally inviting Jesus into your business, you can experience peace, wisdom, and divine guidance every step of the way.
Here are three ways to invite Jesus into your business and align your work with His purpose for you:
Read Scripture so you can be led by God through His word
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Bible is the ultimate guidebook—not just for life but also for business. God’s Word provides wisdom, encouragement, and practical principles for how to lead, serve, and work with integrity. When you make time to read Scripture regularly, you allow God to speak into your business decisions, helping you navigate challenges with faith and confidence.
How to Apply It:
Start your workday by reading a passage of Scripture that speaks to your business journey.
Meditate on Bible verses that encourage faith, patience, and perseverance.
Seek out stories of biblical figures who led with integrity and courage, and apply those lessons to your leadership.
As a faith-based entrepreneur, make time to get quiet, stop moving, and listen
“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” -Psalms 27:14
In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. We often believe that constant action equals progress, but in reality, true wisdom comes from moments of stillness. If we don’t take the time to pause, reflect, and listen, we risk missing God’s guidance and direction for our business. By making stillness a priority, you create space for God to work in your business. His guidance often comes in whispers, and when we slow down, we position ourselves to hear and follow His lead more clearly.
How to Apply It:
Schedule moments of stillness into your daily routine—whether it’s five minutes of quiet prayer, a short walk, or a pause between meetings.
Keep a journal to document what God is placing on your heart during moments of silence.
Be active in your prayer life
“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” -Luke 11:9
Prayer is one of the most powerful ways to invite Jesus into your business. It’s not just something we turn to in moments of crisis—it should be a daily practice that keeps us connected to God’s will. Through prayer, we seek His wisdom, strength, and favor, allowing Him to lead us in every decision we make. When you commit to an active prayer life, you’ll start to see God move in incredible ways—opening doors, providing unexpected opportunities, and giving you peace even in uncertain times.
How to Apply It:
Begin and end your workday with prayer, asking God to guide your thoughts, decisions, and interactions.
Pray over specific business challenges, financial needs, and opportunities.
Involve your team or business partners in prayer, creating a Christ-centered workplace culture.
