The Narrow Way to Win

Have you ever felt the tension between staying true to your values and chasing visible success? I have—and I know I’m not alone. In today's The Estherpreneur's episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead a business that honors God—not just in branding, but in the deep places where decisions are made.I’m sharing a parable that will challenge how you view success, revealing the subtle compromises we justify, and exposing how easily the world’s standards creep into Kingdom work. We’ll look at how Jesus defines righteousness (hint: it’s not what the world applauds) and how Ecclesiastes and Proverbs offer practical, timeless wisdom for today’s Christian entrepreneur.If you’ve been trying to build, grow, or rebuild and you’re tired of feeling like you’re striving without peace—this is your reminder: you don’t have to choose between impact and integrity.🔥 PLUS—I’m so excited to share the official launch of the Edna Harding App! This space was created just for you—purpose-driven entrepreneurs who want exclusive teachings, prayer support, community, and a place to submit your real questions for future podcast episodes.So before you make another move this week, tune in.  Let’s redefine success—and walk the path that bears eternal fruit.
