Quotes"Because you can be incredibly successful at a lot of things and still feel like a failure if you're not operating for the God given intended purpose of why you were created on this earth." - Rylee Meek"What would the devil fear more than a rich Christian? The devil. That the thing he fears the most is a rich Christian." - Christian Edwards"It's not a lack of resources, it's a lack of stewardship." - Rylee Meek"And when we do look at faiths, like Judaism, where they actually have no problem making money, they value money. They, they. Money is a part of all their ceremonies. Right. The exchanging of money. It's a noble, virtuous, moral thing to be wealthy. But the fact that they're taught that it's not a bad thing to make money, that's what we as Christians need to be teaching our children. Not only is it not just a bad thing, it's a good thing." - Christian Edwards"We know we can't serve both God and money. It's impossible. So, we got to serve God to make money serve us." - Rylee Meek"To raise up Christian entrepreneurs, to disciple Christian entrepreneurs, to not just go and make money for the sake of making money. In the end of the day, who knows how much will actually stay in their own bank account or stay in their own possession. Most of it should be given away, but God's going to give those giftings to the people who are actually advancing the kingdom of God." - Christian EdwardsJoin the King’s Council Community: https://joinkingscouncil.com/Follow King’s Council: https://www.instagram.com/kingscouncilcommunity/Follow Rylee: https://www.instagram.com/theryleemeek/Follow Christian: https://www.instagram.com/christian_edwards01/Subscribe to YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@KingsCouncilCoachingWednesday morning Bible Study link: https://www.kingscouncilbiblestudy.comDownload King's Council Books: https://kingdomentrepreneurbooks.com/ Get your copy of “The Kingdom Entrepreneur: The 7-Day Blueprint” here: https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Entrepreneur-Blueprint-Proven-Template/dp/B0BHY53H23
