EP:67 | A MESSAGE TO REPENT: Repentance & Your Business As An Extension To The Great Commission

In this episode of Scriptures, Stories, & Strategies, we’re diving into Mark 6:7–13 to unpack what happened when Jesus sent out the twelve disciples with nothing but a staff and a message: repent.

But this isn’t just a lesson in history, it’s a Kingdom blueprint for modern Christian entrepreneurs.

You’ll learn:

  • Why Jesus told the disciples to take nothing with them

  • What true repentance really means (and how it applies to your business)

  • How your business is part of the Great Commission

  • Why not everyone will receive your brand—and why that’s okay

  • A business lesson hidden in Jesus’ command to “shake the dust off your feet”


We’ll also explore how to trust God with your provision, how to serve the audience He’s assigned to you, and why your business may be one of God’s greatest evangelism tools in this generation.

Whether you’re building a brand, scaling a service, or seeking to lead with boldness and faith, this episode will help you simplify your mission, realign your heart, and move forward with Kingdom clarity.

Are you tracking what truly matters in your business?

We’ll also break downProverbs 27:23-27, revealing how knowing the "condition of your flock" applies directly to tracking business analytics and foresight.

EP: 60 | King David + Leading From The Heart Ft. Christine Jewell

We are going to be drawing today’s business lesson from the story of King David. David was chosen to be king not because of his outward appearance or worldly strength, but because of his heart. In 1 Samuel 16:7, God tells Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

David's life is a blueprint for leading from the heart. Even when he faced Goliath, David did not rely on traditional armor or weapons, but on his faith in God. David relied on spiritual weapons, such as prayer, worship, and faith in God's promises, rather than on physical tools. He dropped the armor of the world and fought with the spiritual weapons of trust and purpose.


As Christian entrepreneurs, we can apply this same lesson—facing the "giants" in our business not with worldly strategies alone, but with the strength that comes from faith, transparency, and integrity.


Today’s guest is Christine Jewel, she is an author, keynote speaker, and faith-based executive coach with over 25 years of experience in the fields of Health + Peak Performance, Entrepreneurship + Human Behavior. She is also the host of the Breaking Chains Podcast.


As the Founder of Warriors Of The Heart, she specializes in guiding highly successful CEO’s and Impact-driven leaders to break out of the superficial “life” they’ve built, redefine success and step into a whole new playing field grounded in eternal, life giving principles.

Christine bridges the gap between the heart, fueled by faith & logic, fueled by practicality - to help people receive more than they could ever imagine and claim the rich life they were created for.
