Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

Hey Winner, If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing decisions, overanalyzing every move, or wondering why your business feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Heather O’Brien, prophetic healing coach, author, and host of the Heal with God podcast. Together, we explore why so many entrepreneurial struggles aren’t actually strategy problems at all, and what changes when we slow down long enough to ask God what’s really going on beneath the surface. Heather shares how fear, unresolved pain, or old belief systems often masquerade as procrastination, burnout, or confusion, and how learning to discern the true root brings clarity and peace even before circumstances change. If you’re faithful, capable, and doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode offers a gentler, wiser way forward. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast?

Hey Winner, It’s easy to start measuring growth by numbers. Followers. Reach. Engagement. But over time, those numbers can become the focus… and we can lose sight of what actually matters most. In this episode, we’re taking a step back to look at a different way of building—one that prioritizes people over metrics, connection over attention, and impact that actually lasts. If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow your audience or wondering if there’s a more meaningful way to build your business, this conversation will help you refocus on what really creates lasting impact.
