    What If Your Next Breakthrough Requires A Funeral

    Send us Fan MailYour life can look “fine” on the outside while something on the inside is already over and begging for a burial. After walking through the wreckage of a tornado-damaged home, I share the moment that hit me hard: I didn’t just lose windows and walls, I lost a version of myself that needed to die so God’s purpose could truly live.We talk straight to entrepreneurs, leaders, and visionaries who feel stuck between what used to work and what God is asking you to build next. We dig into the beliefs that keep kingdom entrepreneurs small and hesitant, including “I’m not good enough,” “I missed my window,” and “God can’t use someone with my past.” Then we get practical about the habits that quietly sabotage your calling: procrastination disguised as planning, people pleasing dressed up as being nice, overcommitting because you fear saying no, and perfectionism that stalls obedience. We also confront fear for what it is: loud, sneaky, and usually lying.To make it actionable, I lay out the RISE framework for resurrection living: Release the old, Identify what’s dying, Surrender the fear, and Embrace resurrection life by asking God what He wants to birth in its place. You’ll get journaling prompts you can use today, plus a simple prayer for courage and clarity. If you’re ready to stop keeping “dead things” in the living room of your life and business, press play, share it with a leader who needs it, and subscribe, leave a review, or send a message with what you’re choosing to release. 🔗 Stay Connected & Keep Growing:📘 Facebook: facebook.com/carlswillis 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/carlwillis 📺 YouTube: @CarlWillis20 📷 Instagram: @nomorejob2 📝 Blog & Resources: carlwillis.com 📥 Download Free Guide – Faith Driven Success: biblicalgrowthstrategies.com

    Servant Leadership in Business: How Jesus Led & How Christian CEOs Can Too

    Send us Fan MailDiscover the transformative power of servant leadership in business through the ultimate example: Jesus Christ. In this episode, we explore how Christian entrepreneurs and business owners can lead like Jesus by embracing humility, service, and kingdom-minded purpose.What You'll Learn:The biblical foundation of servant leadership and why it matters in businessHow Jesus demonstrated servant-hearted leadership by washing his disciples' feetPractical ways to lead with humility in your company (Philippians 2:3-4)Building a kingdom-purpose vision for your businessHow to empower and develop your team like Jesus trained his disciplesThe critical role of integrity and trustworthiness in Christian businessReal-world examples like Chick-fil-A's commitment to biblical principlesKey Principles from This Episode:1. The Heart of a Servant - Jesus modeled servant leadership in John 13:12-17 when he washed his disciples' feet. As Christian business owners, we're called to serve our employees, customers, and clients rather than viewing them as stepping stones to success.2. Lead with Humility - True leadership means valuing others above yourself, being willing to listen, learn, and admit mistakes. Humble leadership fosters respect and collaboration.3. Vision with Kingdom Purpose - Jesus was intentional about his mission (Luke 19:10). Your business should align with God's purposes, measuring success not just in revenue but in positive impact on employees, customers, and community.4. Empower and Develop Others - Jesus equipped his disciples to lead and continue his work. Invest in mentoring, coaching, and developing your team's leadership abilities.5. Demonstrate Integrity - Jesus lived with absolute integrity. As Proverbs 11:3 says, "The integrity of the upright guides them." Conduct business in a way that honors God through honesty and keeping your promises.Why Servant Leadership Matters:In a world that glorifies self-centered leadership, Christian business owners have a unique opportunity to shine by following Jesus' example. Servant leadership rooted in humility, integrity, and empowerment creates businesses that succeed while glorifying God.Take Action Today:Evaluate your leadership style. Are you prioritizing service over status? Are you building up those around you? By embracing Jesus' model of leadership, you can create lasting impact in your business and in the lives of those you serve.Free Resource:Download the Purpose Driven Success Guide to help align your business with biblical principles: https://biblicalgrowthstrategies.comConnect & Subscribe:🎧 Subscribe to the Called to Build Podcast: https://calledtobuild.buzzsprout.com🌐 Visit: https://carlwillis.comTrue success comes not from being served, but from serving others well.

    Faith Over Fear: Trusting God In The Midst of Business Uncertainty

    Send us Fan MailRunning a business requires vision, strategy, and resilience. But one of the biggest challenges you as an entrepreneur will face is uncertainty. Market fluctuations, financial pressures, and competitive shifts can create anxiety, making it easy to operate from a place of fear rather than faith. However, as believers, we're called to a different mindset—one that trusts in God's provision and sovereignty even when the future is unclear.In this powerful episode of the Called to Build Podcast, we explore how to walk in faith, especially when faced with business uncertainty. The Bible reassures us in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." If fear is not from God, then we must learn to resist it and replace it with unshakable trust in Him.Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur launching a startup, a business leader navigating market changes, or a ministry leader facing financial pressures, this episode will help you understand how fear impacts business decisions and why choosing faith over fear isn't just a spiritual concept—it's a practical business strategy that leads to breakthrough and blessing.You'll discover the different forms fear takes in business (fear of failure, financial loss, wrong decisions, and rejection) and how these fears lead to paralysis, poor decision-making, and overwhelming stress. We'll explore biblical examples of individuals who faced uncertainty but chose to trust God anyway—Abraham leaving everything familiar, Peter walking on water, and Elijah relying on supernatural provision during a drought.Most importantly, you'll learn practical steps to build faith over fear in your business: seeking God first in every decision, reframing challenges as faith-building opportunities, stepping out despite the unknown, surrounding yourself with faith-filled advisors, and remembering God's past faithfulness. Because faith requires action—taking steps forward before seeing the outcome.Through personal stories and real-world examples of Christian entrepreneurs who witnessed God's hand in their businesses, this episode will inspire you to trust God's sovereignty, take action in faith, seek wise counsel, and remember that God is bigger than your fears. No matter what challenges you're facing today, you don't have to be controlled by fear.Faith over fear is not just an idea—it's a daily commitment to trust in God's plan for your business. Choose to trust God with your business today.Show NotesIntroduction: The Challenge of Business Uncertainty (00:01)Running a business requires vision, strategy, and resilienceOne of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face: uncertaintyMarket fluctuations, financial pressures, competitive shifts create anxietyEasy to operate from a place of fear rather than faithAs believers: Called to a different mindset—trusting God's provision and sovereignty even when the future is unclearBiblical Foundation: 2 Timothy 1:7 (00:30)"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of 🔗 Stay Connected & Keep Growing:📘 Facebook: facebook.com/carlswillis 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/carlwillis 📺 YouTube: @CarlWillis20 📷 Instagram: @nomorejob2 📝 Blog & Resources: carlwillis.com 📥 Download Free Guide – Faith Driven Success: biblicalgrowthstrategies.com

    Love & Business: How Biblical Principles Build Lasting Customer Relationships and Loyalty

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the key to long-term business success wasn't found in the latest marketing trend or cutting-edge technology, but in an age-old principle—love? Imagine a world where businesses prioritize relationships over revenue, where customers feel genuinely valued, and where success is measured not just in profits, but in trust and loyalty.In this transformative episode of the Called to Build Podcast, we explore how biblical principles can revolutionize the way you build customer relationships and grow your business. While marketing strategies and financial incentives play a role in business success, one of the most powerful yet often overlooked tools for fostering meaningful customer relationships comes from the Bible's timeless wisdom.Scripture reminds us that love is not only vital in personal relationships but also in business. Love, as described in the Bible, is patient, kind, and deeply rooted in integrity. These qualities can transform customer interactions, ensuring relationships are built on trust and genuine care rather than manipulation or mere transactions.Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur building a startup, a business leader managing a growing company, or a ministry leader serving your community, this episode will show you how integrating biblical values—integrity, servant leadership, empathy, generosity, and grace—can strengthen customer relationships while glorifying God.You'll discover practical applications for demonstrating love in business through patience and kindness, building trust through honesty and transparency, leading with humility by prioritizing customer needs, connecting emotionally through compassion, creating legacy through generosity, and resolving conflicts with grace. In a world where companies often prioritize profits over people, those who lead with love stand out and are rewarded with loyalty and advocacy.This isn't just about being nice—it's about building a customer-centric culture that drives sustainable success while honoring God through your work. Love and business are not mutually exclusive. When love is at the core of your business practices, success and fulfillment naturally follow.Show NotesIntroduction: The Power of Love in Business (00:01)What if the key to business success wasn't the latest trend, but an age-old principle—love?Imagine businesses prioritizing relationships over revenueCustomers feeling genuinely valuedSuccess measured in trust and loyalty, not just profitsIn today's competitive landscape, businesses seek stronger, meaningful customer relationshipsMarketing strategies and incentives play a role, but biblical wisdom is often overlookedThe Biblical Foundation: Love in Business (00:31)Love is not only vital in personal relationships but also in businessLove as described in Scripture: patient, kind, deeply rooted in integrityThese qualities transform customer interactionsRelationships built on trust and genuine care, not transactionsToday's Focus Areas:Integrity builds trustSer 🔗 Stay Connected & Keep Growing:📘 Facebook: facebook.com/carlswillis 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/carlwillis 📺 YouTube: @CarlWillis20 📷 Instagram: @nomorejob2 📝 Blog & Resources: carlwillis.com 📥 Download Free Guide – Faith Driven Success: biblicalgrowthstrategies.com
