Back to Abiding What My Doctoral Journey Taught Me About Faith and Business

Dr. Betsy Mejias is back—and she’s returning with a powerful story of perseverance, transformation, and God-led clarity. After stepping away to complete her doctoral capstone, Dr. Betsy shares the intimate journey behind her new study, The Abiding CEO: A Study of the Impact of Attachment to God on Anxiety in Christian Entrepreneurs. In this episode, Dr. Betsy opens up about the hard moments: the tears, the doubt, the frustration, and the countless revisions that pushed her to the edge. But she also reveals the deeper work God was doing—shaping her understanding of what it truly means to be a Christian entrepreneur who leads from a place of secure attachment to Him. You’ll hear Dr. Betsy unpack: Why Christian business owners often struggle with fear, anxiety, trust, and even the fear of success How early attachment patterns shape the way we lead, love, delegate, and grow What it looks like to embody God’s love, excellence, and presence in any industry—whether or not your business is “overtly Christian” Why anxiety has become normalized for so many entrepreneurs, and how Scripture offers a different way How spiritual disciplines, coping skills, and renewed thinking can support scaling with confidence rather than fear Dr. Betsy also introduces her newly developed Bible study curriculum, created to help entrepreneurs deepen their attachment to God, lead from peace, and thrive in their purpose-driven work. Whether you’re running a salon, a construction company, a coaching practice, or anything in between—this episode will encourage you, ground you, and remind you that God is with you in every part of your business journey.
