Dude, business is hard. I’m even reluctant to tell people to start a business! I know the suffering and pain I’ve been through and its hard to wish someone well on that journey. But I changed my mind on this. Now I see entrepreneurial people as embarking on an amazing journey that will make them much better people and stronger followers of God…because it has for me. Its all about prospective…God’s perspective. Business life is so hard sometimes because “The LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in” (Proverbs 3:12). Wow…what a comfort it is to know that our loving Father has an eye on our entrepreneurial hardships to make sure that we are not overwhelmed. What a comfort it is to know that none of our suffering is in vain – he will make every bit of it work for our good in one way or another. So the next time the bank account is at $6.37, you need to pray to ask God what exactly He’s trying to reach out and tell you. Did you handle some finances wrong? Were you lazy? Are you dabbling in an industry that doesn’t glorify God? I’m convinced now more than ever that God didn’t let me excel to new greater heights in my career because I was serving and worshiping the nightlife industry, but He has much greater plans for me….and you! In your suffering, hold on to God like never before and you will overcome and grow to new heights. #EnhanceFocus #GainConfidence

I can’t tell you how many times I wished I wouldn’t have taken on a certain client.  Some of these clients have made my life miserable.  I’m always Mr. Positive and I’ve bought into the ‘client is always right’ mentality, but have learned this isn’t true. The client might always be right, but it might not always be the right client for you. Let me say this again: not every potential prospect is for you. So how do you fire clients that SUCK the life out of you?? You know that funny little feeling you get when you’re in negotiations, and it just doesn’t feel right?  You know that tug at your heart that tells you that this could end up disastrous? That’s the FORCE within you…the Holy Spirit…telling you to walk away. Do you have the FAITH to trust that by walking away from this prospect, you can walk into another prospect that is the one God wants you to do business with…a prospect that will take 1/2 your time and pay you twice as much your worth? Do you have that kind of faith yet? You can! The spirit works for picking employees, choosing vendors, negotiating with contractors, forming partnerships, and acquiring clients.  God wants to guide His Godpreneurs to the people He wants you to work with. “Trust in the LORD with all our heart and lean not on your own understanding . . . and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5,6). So how do you fire clients? You don´t hire them from the start! It’s that simple. Listen to the force within you more during the beginning than ever before. God has equipped us with such a great power through this FORCE that guides us. God the Holy Spirit, comes to live within the hearts of all entrepreneurs when they are baptized. The Spirit is power from God for thinking of business solutions, saying the right things to your team or clients, and doing things that are pleasing to God (your boss). Every morning I wake up and ask myself to be receptive to the spirit.  The Spirit brings me God’s wisdom from heaven through morning bible reading, meditation and prayer. More powerful than anything we could do on our own, the Spirit brings us entrepreneurs God’s power to act on what we know. #AttractingRightClients #HiringtheRightPeople

I started hosting Meetup.com meetings at The Creative Complex. We specified that we were looking for ‘Creatives Only’ in the description. We meant to attract graphic designers, web developers, marketing people, etc.  But instead, what we got was a wizard, a network marketer, a financial planner, and a couple of creatives. Doesn’t that stink?  When you’ve set out to attract the perfect prospect, the right client, and you get a bunch of randoms?! But I’ve been struggling with this.  In my heart, I felt that everyone is God’s people, and who knows why God places people in our lives. As Godpreneurs, we’ve allowed God to be the CEO of our businesses, so we’ve also given Him the authority to bring us whomever of His children He wants us to interact with. Christ didn’t limit his interactions to the right type of people.  Why should we? But I’ll admit that I felt a difficulty interacting with those that showed up to my meetup that were out of my comfort zone. I was trying to bring around the people who think and act like me, and ultimately would buy from me.  Selfishness at its finest. Maybe I even think they are ‘beneath’ me and I was resentful that they took up our time. Although I am going to tighten up the description of the group, I pray that God removes any sense of entitlement I may have, and to allow me to embrace the unexpected people God brings to my entrepreneurial life. There’s a difference between interacting and actually doing business with.  I think its okay for us to choose to do business with those that are like-minded, but no one is beneath us for a discovery call or even a group Meetup. #FindingMyPurpose #BuildMyPersonalBrand #HiringtheRightPeople

I’ve witnessed many miracles in my business. One that would happen a few times, is big checks coming from way overdue accounts receivable at exactly the right time. I mean I would literally have been out of business if the check hadn’t arrived at that moment. But would you believe that even though those things happened, I still have a tendency to forget the miracles…and forget God in my business? I’m the perfect example that witnessing a miracle is no guarantee that our faith will grow. We all do this. We forget the miracles, therefore forgetting the very thing that God is trying to use to strengthen our faith. But God has a better prescription for us to remember Him in our busy business lives: daily reading. The tried and true method Godpreneurs strengthen their faith with, is studying and meditating on the Word of God. I read every morning. I’m reading right now as I’m writing this note to you. The readings inspire me to write what I write every day! And they can inspire your business too. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul writes to his understudy, saying: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” Daily Bible time, however, takes self-discipline…the same kind of discipline it takes to be an entrepreneur. So don’t tell yourself the excuse that ‘I don't know how’ or ‘I don’t have the time’. We must see our Godpreneur assignment as a marathon, instead of a sprint. There are no shortcuts. Biblical wisdom and an enduring faith are essential to a successful business career and we are much more likely to develop these when we feed ourselves with daily reading. Read the Bible and meditate daily and you will have experiences far greater than sporadic miracles. #FindMyCalling #DifferentiatingMyself #FindingMyPurpose

There’s nothing more satisfying than closing the big deal, collecting that huge check and running that credit card for a big dollar amount.  The taste of victory is sweet. But something strange happens to me after big, sweet victories.  I get lazy.  Not permanently.  But for a period of time I cross my arms and bask in my win.  I’m not sure if it’s a pride thing or what, but my accountant hates it.  He sees it.  Sales spike…and then sales slump. I don’t think I’m alone here.  I believe our sinful, lazy nature kicks in for all of us at times, and we compromise ourselves by taking a victory break. Today I was reading Proverbs and it was a reminder to me about what God has to say to His #Godpreneurs about these magical moments. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—   and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. (Proverbs 6:10-11) When the victory comes, its time to crank it up to the next level.  Keep going, keep GROWING.  This is go time, pedal to the metal. Grant Cardone would say “10x baby!  Its your duty, your obligation and your responsibility.” Vacation will come, no doubt.  Sunday is just around the corner and you’ll be able to have your day of rest.  But that’s it…one day.  For the other six days, make your accountant proud. #MakingMoreSales

Since I deal with corporate clients, getting $2,500 checks isn’t that easy. Two people have to sign a check, but the invoice has to go to 2 departments then through a processing plant, and back down to the 3rd floor for delivery Things can get confusing and sometimes they make mistakes. Mistakes like paying twice on the same invoice.  This has happened to me several times. So now I’m staring at a $2,500 error in my favor. Like monopoly, I feel like I got that bank error community chest card! What would you do? Would you deposit the check and hope corporate accounting doesn’t catch it and if they do you’ll just play stupid? Or would you call up your point of contact and point out the error? This is THE EXACT moment at the Garden of Eden where Satan tempted Eve.  That’s the same thing she went through. Does she take the shortcut to knowing God or does she refuse to compromise and follow God faithfully. So you want to know what I personally did?  Here, I’ll tell you the truth from two times this has happened to me. About a year ago I ate the apple and deposited the check. The client never found out, I still have the money.  But can I tell you that last year has been the roughest year of my career.  I’m not saying that this choice on my part caused all that, but it did reveal to God that I still wasn’t ready to be ‘trusted with a lot’ because I couldn’t be trusted with this little bit. (Luke 16:10-12).  God had to bring me down and out of depths of depression and anxiety that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I’ve come out of that valley, and I’m stronger than ever! And then came the test AGAIN!  OMG!! This time I’m closer to God than ever before in my life, BUT I WAS STILL WANTING TO STEAL!!  I started to make up things in my mind like “well this could be God showing me favor because I tithed a big check to the church.” I began to justify what I know wasn’t right. The devil is a LIAR!  And he lurks around like a roaring lion ready to devour (1 Peter 5:8).  Even the godliest of men and women aren’t safe. This time I took the other route.  Believe it or not I had to ‘sleep on it’ and the next morning my bible readings were related to ‘not taking shortcuts’. God is so amazing!  He met me in the morning and sat with me and showed me His word and promises.  He held me through the time of prayer and as I cried out to Him he held me closer than ever.  I repented for my sinful nature. I emailed the client immediately and let him know about the mistake. Godpreneurs: No shortcuts!  No stealing!  God is your CEO and he’s watching what you’re going to do with the check the devil brought you. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says God is faithful and He won’t let you be tempted beyond what you can overcome. Entrepreneurs, it is part of our sinful inheritance to want the harvest without the work. Satan is a liar and cheater, and so we shouldn’t be surprised to see such mistaken checks in the mail and a strong inclination to steal it. Any opportunity we have to get rich quick without working catches our attention immediately. I’ve read somewhere that ‘Satan owns the short term.’ I love that.  So true. Proverbs 20:17 says, “Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel.” God owns the long term. Life is a journey, not a short term trip. There are no shortcuts to satisfaction and true peace of mind. Don’t do like I did and deposit the check.  Use it as an opportunity to show Jesus to a client of yours that might be thinking ‘wow, this person could have deposited that check and we would have never known, but there are some good people in this world’. Ultimately, our first purpose in business is to give glory to God.  Do the right thing always. #StrengthenIntegrity #ShareYourTestimony #SideHustlers

A month ago I took a Passion Test with my friend and fellow entrepreneur Derek Hendricks. He took me through a series of questions which led me to finding my passions. The final exercise was writing my passions in the form of a short story of how my life will look when I’m living my passions. I knew it was a good exercise for me because I’m into the self discovery methods like this.  I don’t see it as self discovery, but instead the discovery of what God designed me from the womb to be passionate about. Alfred Lord Tennyson said, “The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.” Now I’m reading this short story to myself daily.  And I didn’t fully understand or know why I was reading it daily until I realized that by reading it daily I was reinforcing my passions! But before you go off taking your passion test too, you have to understand that I was doing it under the context of a Godpreneur: that God gave me these passions and its my duty to live them out. Its important that we pursue our passions, but passions can be used for good and bad. So how do we guard our passions and make sure they always align with our Godpreneurial purpose? Proverbs 4:23 says “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Your passions come from your heart. So guarding your heart is the secret to keeping your passions aligned. Living your passion requires a practiced decision we must make in theory, well ahead of the practical test.  We must decide that we are going to “Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.   Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.   Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.   Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.” (Proverbs 4:24-27) You can destroy something you have built up over a long time in a matter of seconds if you let your passions get the better of you. Godpreneurs: Give your heart to God and take the passion test to begin channeling your passions toward personal growth. #StrengthenIntegrity #FindMyCalling

I’ve had some bad clients do horrible things to me.  I’ve been stiffed for a $2500 invoice….still unpaid to today. I’ve been insulted, bad mouthed, degraded, lied to, betrayed, and mocked. The worst thing to ever happen to me was my biggest client going behind my back to offer my partner more money to go work directly for them. That was brutal. For weeks I plotted my revenge.  I schemed up ways to get back at the client. When someone has wronged us or our businesses, we are often tempted to seek revenge. We may gossip, give them the “silent treatment,” or even retaliate. We have a choice: 1) live our lives in the spirit 2) live our lives in the flesh In 1 Samuel 24:15 we read “May the Lord be our judge and decide between us. May he consider my cause and uphold it; may he vindicate me by delivering me from your hand.” David refused to fight in the flesh, and left Saul’s judgment to the Spirit of God. You’ll be tempted to seek revenge. Your blood will boil. The hurt will drive your mind to fantasize about 100 ways to retaliate. But remember, you serve an amazing boss that is waiting to see just how much love and compassion (or restraint) you’re going to show. Let it go. I ended up doing nothing to retaliate.  In fact it ended up being a huge blessing…the end of one season and the beginning of another in my entrepreneurial career. A couple of months after this client went behind my back to take my partner was out of a job.  Don’t know what he’s up to today, but praying for him. Imagine if we all just moved on and didn’t seek revenge and let God do His thing. Godpreneur Rule #22: Live in the Spirit and allow God to be the judge. #DifferentiatingMyself #StrengthenIntegrity

One of the most frustrating concepts in my business is “waiting on God’s timing.” I’m always hearing ‘strike while it’s hot’ and ‘there’s never going to be a time like now’ and ‘do it before someone else’s does’. I recognize some of this as hyped up sales talk, but it could also be God speaking through someone else to me, right? It’s a mystery to me…the concept that there’s a time to grow and a time to act. I’ve seen it play out over and over in my business.  Sometimes I feel like I made the right decision, sometimes I bombed the timing and failed miserably. I’ve started businesses that I shouldn’t have just because one day I woke up and had a vision. The same has happened to me with marketing campaigns and releasing new products. I’ve let visions of the future deter my current daily duties, taking me off track. But even amidst the mystery of God’s timing, I do know that one concept is fact: action before preparation usually spells disaster. We entrepreneurs want to shoot first and ask questions later. We want to live the dream that if you build it, they will come. We don’t like writing business plans. We want to throw up the vision on our team and hope they got it and have it done by next week. But this isn’t how God wants us to react as Godpreneurs. In the case of what we were born to do, God wants to prepare us for what he knows lies ahead. We may urgently feel the need to act on a business idea or a new email blast that seems foolish to wait on, but God has bigger plans we don’t understand. The Bible says, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose". Philippians 2:13 NIV God’s timing is perfect, and our visions are simply a small part of His bigger vision. This is why God wants to work INSIDE of us, to prepare us to act on what we were born to do.  And when we’re ready, that’s when He’s ready for us to act…it will be on His timetable. God’s timing can be hard to hear for you, right? I know, that’s the struggle. This is the biggest thing I hear about from entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs. You think that once the vision is clear, we must be ready, otherwise, why would we have the vision? All I have to say is don’t be impatient. We shouldn’t move before God leads. We accept his training and his timing. Meanwhile, what we were born to do, though it may burn inside of us, will enable us to endure the wait, because we know it’s worth it to get it right. We know that having a vision will come BEFORE the preparation. LeBron James had the vision of being the best in the world BEFORE his preparation.  It was the vision that gave him the strength to endure the preparation: all the practicing and hard work. Visions will always be bigger than us.  That’s the point!  Within that tension is where we always want to live because then we know God is always working on us. Godpreneur Rule #29: Our visions are meant to prepare us, they aren’t to be acted on. The preparation will lead to the vision coming to life. #WorkLifeBalance #DifferentiatingMyself

Am I the only one that finds it extremely difficult to not work on Sundays? Like Chick-fil-A, I’d love to be 100% closed on Sunday, but I can’t shut my mind off from thinking about my business. Some Sundays I’m able to keep my laptop shut, but I still can’t resist opening my phone to check an email or write an idea down. One Sunday, I woke up with all the intentions to NOT do a lick of work. I went to church, then lunch with the family. But when I got home, nothing was going on, and it was hard for me to sit there, so I decided to catch up on some work. The way I see it, there’s so much responsibility on my shoulders that taking a day off seems counter-intuitive to catching up on everything that’s still on my to-do list. But I know that God wants me to take a day of Sabbath, where I completely disconnect from my business to rest and worship Him. I understand that I’m supposed to do this once a week. Still, as an entrepreneur, it’s been a challenging habit to implement into my business life. We’re all busy entrepreneurs. There are marketing plans to finalize, new employees, to train, and client work to make progress on. But with the hurry and rush of everyone’s demands, what time is there to take a break and literally do nothing to rest in the Lord? How can we honor the Sabbath as a weekly personal development tool and a way of business life? The bible says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 NIV) Jesus is appealing to all the burned out, exhausted, and fatigued, and simply says, “Come, find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” However, the imagery of a ‘yoke’ seems like MORE WORK! On the one hand, Jesus is offering rest, but at the same time, throwing on 200 pounds of wood to carry. But Jesus, in his incredible wisdom, people are all carrying a load on their backs already, he’s just offering a lighter load than the one the world offers. Running a business is already a 500-pound load, and Jesus wants to cut down the weight significantly. As a follower of Christ running a business, you’re invited to a business life of rest, not just physically, but on a more profound “soul” level. You’re going to have the same burdens as everyone, Christian or not. Business ownership comes with heavy responsibility, and Jesus wants to offer a lighter, more pleasant experience to carrying it. Business ownership is like signing up for burden after burden. There’s no way around the weight of responsibility of entrepreneurship. We can’t escape the pressure, but we can trade it in for a more comfortable, more joyful experience. Godpreneurship is a way to carry the weight of business life with a straight back and smile on our faces. How do we trade in a heavy yoke for a light yoke? You guessed it – by practicing the Sabbath more. We need to decide that for 24-hours, one day week, we’re going to practice restful worship so we can fill up on a spirit of restfulness to use throughout the next week. There’s also a daily practice we can implement. For me, I have an alarm on my phone at noon to stop everything I’m doing to “rest” in God. It’s a way to shut my mind down for 30 seconds, 2 minutes, or however long I need to recognize God, thank Him, and rest to take on the next half of my day. Whether we take a moment to rest at noon, 2pm, or 5pm, there are Sabbath moments all through each business day we can take to help prepare us for the 24-hour sabbath marathon needed on one of the weekend days. Imagine if we Godpreneurs all took the opportunity to slow down, and rest under Jesus’ easy yoke. How much better of a leader would we be if we could un-rush to our business life’s demands to experience the life that’s waiting for all of us in Christ. Let’s look for little Sabbath moments when we wake up, on our drive to the office, before a big client meeting, etc. And when the weekend comes, let’s resist the urge to reach for our phones. Instead, let’s reach for God and settle into his rest. How is the tiredness of entrepreneurship affecting your experience of Jesus’ kingdom? How can you move toward Sabbath as both a weekly practice at your office and a way of weekend life? #ShareYourTestimony #WorkLifeBalance

Oh how many sleepless, tireless nights I’ve had as an entrepreneur. Sure, sometimes its GO TIME and you have to pull these all nighters, but not every night. As I continue to build my business around God’s entrepreneurial purpose for me, I’m starting to realize that business didn’t have to be so hard and confusing always. Psalms 127:1-2 says “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.” I love sleep. Don’t you? I believe sleep is a metaphor for peace. He grants peace in your business life when we let God build our businesses with us. #WorkLifeBalance

There are two areas in my entrepreneurial walk that still trip me up sometimes and I’m constantly having to work on: worry and envy. The envy creeps in when I check out social media and start to see others doing cooler things than me or advancing their businesses further than mine. The worry shows up sometimes as a result of the envy, but mostly when I’m overloaded with ideas, responsibilities and tasks to take care of. We all worry and envy sometimes, especially in business and entrepreneurship. God wants us to walk in His peace having faith that He is in control. When we do not surrender our business desires to God, worry and jealousy creep in. This threatens to damage our relationship with God because we’re removing Him from the equation. You go from being a Godpreneur back to Me-preneur. In owning a business, God allows us to experience various situations that provoke both worry (such as worrying about where the next client will come from) and envy (when we are jealous of the accomplishment of other people in our field). But, entrepreneurship also provides many exciting opportunities to submit ourselves (and employees if you have) to God and to grow in our relationship with Christ. When we do that, we are freed from the burdens of worry and jealousy! Here is a very practical way to get rid of worry, and it comes from the bible. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). Every morning the first thoughts in my mind are to name 3 things I’m thankful for. It has to be the first thoughts. You’ll be half asleep but do it. And every day I try to remember to pray that I would submit my business to God and walk in His peace. #WheretoStartFirst #WorkLifeBalance

I like updating my own website. I enjoy composing my weekly emails that go out from Creative Complex and sending them out. I love project managing. I’m also good at following up on my sales calls, collecting credit cards and booking appointments. Can you believe that even though I had an assistant, a project manager, a web developer, and an account executive, I still performed all of their jobs?!?! What a mistake on so many levels.  But the biggest mistake in doing this was that I was robbing others from growing…from flying from their nest and soaring with me. We can do that sometimes as entrepreneurs. We think that we’re the only ones that can do it the best.  We get impatient. We step in to help at the first sign of something not going they way we would do it. Deuteronomy 32:11 says, "Like an eagle that rouses her chicks and hovers over her young, so he spread his wings to take them up and carried them safely on his pinions." Godpreneurs realize that there are times you step into problems, but its momentary.  In the end, the goal is to let that person learn how to soar like you so you can let God take you to places you’ve never imagined. As for me…I USED to like doing all of those tasks I mentioned at the beginning.  But…I don’t do them anymore. Even though I’m great at these things, I have people on my team that are flying because I let them go. Godpreneur Rule #42: Let go of the tasks so your team can face and solve problems on their own and learn to soar with you. #WorkLifeBalance #SharpenLeadership

A few years ago I received a letter in the mail from a law firm. The firm was representing Getty Images, a website that sells stock photography asking us to prove that we purchased a certain image that was on our website. But we couldn’t provide the proof because, as the law firm suspected, we had used the image without purchasing it. We had to pay a hefty fine. From that day forward, we became extremely cautious with the imagery we use on our website and our clients as well. Now we follow the rules and pay for our stock photography. The fear of having to pay another fine keeps me on the straight path, even though there have been plenty of other opportunities to save money and just grab a free image I find on Google. We all have opportunities in our businesses to lie, cheat and steal.  We have ways to twist the truth, while covering it by making others think we are angelic. How can we CHANGE our ways? For me, a letter in the mail threatening a lawsuit if I didn’t pay fines helped me to change. But do we need a lawsuit, bankruptcy or a breakup to reach us a lesson? Well, actually, God will use whatever He can to get your attention and change your ways. In the book of Acts, we come across an event that makes my point. A husband and wife sold their land and donated the proceeds to the early church.  They told everyone that they gave ALL of the proceeds, but they lied, and only gave a portion. "Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” (Acts 5:4 NIV) That same day, they both died. The amazing part of this incident is that everyone else who heard about this stopped cheating. They saw that God doesn’t play. You can be told that downloading pirated movies is illigal. You can be warned by your accountant that using your company credit card for personal expenses is cheating on your taxes. You can cut corners on delivering the service or product that your customers purchased. But you can’t stop God from knowing your ways, and doing something to correct it. Knowing God is there to love us so much to want us to be better, we have two choices: 1) we can know that God expects more from us, and stop our ways, or 2) we can accept the consequences when the lawyer sends the letter and let it be a lesson for the future. We should be so lucky that God loves us so much to send us a lawsuit so that we can grow to be the best representative of Him in this world. Godpreneur Rules #74: Godpreneurs have a healthy fear of God that helps us grow. #StrengthenIntegrity #WorkLifeBalance

I’m in the business of consulting.  I make anywhere from $199 – $499 an hour for my time. Proverbs 11:25 says A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Although I volunteer at church and go on medical mission trips, which are both refreshing others, I also feel compelled at times to refresh others by offering my consulting for free. As Godpreneurs we serve a boss that will send us paying clients, but will also send us non-paying clients…or can’t pay as much as I charge (discount clients). Be sensitive to the spirit.  I’m not saying to just give away your services to anyone and everyone from the church.  The spirit will lead you.  It will ‘feel’ right to do this. We must have faith that God will refresh us…because His word says it. #SharpenLeadership
