This week on the podcast we are continuing in our summer series: The 25 Biblical Laws of Success Book Club.
As Christian women entrepreneurs, we are called to find joy and purpose in our work. The Bible emphasizes the importance of diligent work and the blessings that come from it. However, there are times when we may struggle to enjoy our work or even find ourselves not wanting to work at all. This can be seen as a sin, as it goes against the biblical principle of finding satisfaction and purpose in our labor.
Understanding the Sin of Not Enjoying Your Work
Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 tells us, “A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?” This verse highlights the importance of finding satisfaction in our work, as it is a gift from God.
Applying Biblical Principles to Find Joy in Work
Purpose and Calling: Colossians 3:23 reminds us, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Understanding that our work is part of our calling can help us find purpose and motivation.
Gratitude and Perspective: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 encourages us to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Cultivating a heart of gratitude can shift our perspective and help us appreciate the work we do.
Diligence and Excellence: Proverbs 12:24 states, “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.” Embracing diligence and striving for excellence in our work honors God and brings fulfillment.
Practical Tips for Finding Joy in Your Work
Reflect on Your Purpose: Regularly remind yourself of the purpose behind your work and how it aligns with God’s calling for your life.
Cultivate a Positive Work Environment: Surround yourself with supportive and like-minded individuals who encourage and uplift you.
Set Achievable Goals: Break down your tasks into manageable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed and to celebrate small victories.
By embracing these biblical principles, we can overcome the sin of not enjoying our work and find fulfillment and joy in our entrepreneurial journey.

Oct 24-27, 2024 - Phoenix Arizona. One house in the mountains. 21 women all planning out their business and receiving supernatural growth and deliverance on their life and business. 2 Biblical experts are coming and 2 Business experts to coach and teach. Don't miss this.
In this free guide, we show how we move our clients from $0 to $1M in our signature 5S Method guide. It is delivered over 5 emails in 5 days, outlining one "S" each day. This method is used on every client and several have reached the 7 figure revenues with it (some have plans to scale past this mark). We strive to help each client reach seven figures (if they desire that). Not everyone wants a business that large and not everyone even has a product that can scale to that. But everyone can use the method to grow their business with Biblical principles and help.
Our community consists of women of all different types of businesses at all stages. Our common bond is a desire to grow in our faith and in our business. These often overlap. If your faith is struggling, your confidence can too. If your business is struggling, your faith can become shaky.
We help with both.
