Advertise on podcast: Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success as a Christian Woman

What do you do when the pivot isn't just one thing — it's everything, all at once? Esther Littlefield shares the raw, real story of losing her church home, her husband's ministry career, her business, and her sense of identity in the same season, and what held her steady when nothing else did: Jesus. In this episode, you'll explore: What happens when a God-given vision seems to collapse — Esther and her husband believed they were called to stay at their church long-term, and when that plan imploded after 17 years, it shook her confidence in her own ability to hear from God. Why "Did I hear from the Lord?" is a question worth sitting with honestly — and the nuanced, grace-filled answer Esther landed on about God's will, human sin, and His ability to redeem any situation. The difference between trusting the promises and trusting the Promise Maker — one of the most important distinctions for any woman walking through a season that didn't turn out the way she expected. Why disorientation in a pivot isn't just about your circumstances — it's about your identity — and how Esther had to fight lies about who she was by going back to what God's Word says about her. The "All I know is..." practice that anchored her when she couldn't see what was next — a simple, powerful phrase that brings you back to solid ground when everything around you is shifting. Why your gifts don't change, but your assignment might — and what it looks like to stop believing that living out your God-given mission requires a specific title, platform, or role. Scriptures referenced: John 10:10 John 15:5 This episode is part of The Power of the Pivot series. Catch Episode 367 with Jen Howat for more on finding peace when God redirects your business. Key Takeaway When everything changes at once, the anchor is not a new vision — it's returning to what you already know is true about who God is and who He says you are. You don't have to have the next chapter figured out to survive this one. All you have to know is that He is good, He is faithful, He is with you, and He has not changed His mind about you. Reflection Question Where in this season are you waiting for a new vision from God before you feel settled — and what might it look like to find peace in His presence right where you are, even without that clarity yet?

What if the pivots you've been resisting aren't just about you — they're purposeful because someone is waiting on your obedience? That's the word at the heart of this conversation. Tequika Tate — founder of Qui2Life Publishing, story midwife, and woman of deep, tested faith — joins the podcast to unpack what it really means to stay anchored in Jesus as He pivots you from season to season, assignment to assignment, and sometimes back again. This is not a conversation about change management. It's a conversation about surrender, obedience, and the purposeful hand of a Father who always knows where he's taking you — even when you don't. In this episode, you'll explore: Why being anchored in Jesus doesn't mean staying still — it means keeping one foot planted while he pivots the rest of you Why pivots are rarely one-time events — and how to stay flexible enough not to miss what's next Tequika's own pivot story: from aspiring screenwriter to book author to publisher to story midwife — and back again Why some assignments are only yours to start — and someone else is meant to carry them the rest of the way How to tell the difference between a promise God made and a promise you made for him Scriptures referenced:Matthew 6:331 Kings 17Matthew 11:29-301 Corinthians 3:6 This episode is part of the Pivot series. Catch Episodes 366, 367, and 368 for more conversations on what it means to follow God through seasons of change. Key Takeaway The pivot is never just about you. Every time the Lord asks you to make a shift — whether it's enormous or barely visible from the outside — there are people on the other side of your obedience who are waiting. Your job is not to understand it all or see it through to the end. Your job is to keep your foot anchored, stay in relationship with him, and move when he says move.

What do you do when God calls you to pivot — again — and you're still “recovering” from the last one? My friend, Jen Howat, founder & lead strategist of Build it Better Communications, shares her story of pivoting and how the Lord has positioned her in every season.  In this episode, you'll explore: Why pivots rarely come from one moment — Jen shares how it's usually a series of compounding signs that God uses to make the redirect undeniable, and what to look for when you feel restless in your current season. What it means to hold God responsible for promises He never made — one of the most convicting insights of this conversation, and a question worth sitting with every time disappointment shows up. How obedience and disobedience both teach you something — Jen is honest about the season she tried to ride two horses at once, and what it cost her — and what it ultimately revealed. The "both/and" prayer posture that keeps you anchored — how to boldly ask God for abundance and provision while holding it all loosely, and why that tension is not a contradiction — it's faith. Why your business success is not your hope, your strength, or your shield — and what happens when you stop treating it like it is. This episode is part of The Power of the Pivot series. Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes as more guests share how the Lord has pivoted them and what has held them steady through it all. Key Takeaway: You are not too tired to trust God — but you might need to stop trying to make the old thing work and open your hands to what He's already preparing. Jen's story is proof that God doesn't waste a single season, even the ones that feel like dead ends. What you learned there, He'll use here. Hold it boldly. Hold it loosely. Reflection Question: Where in your business right now are you holding God responsible for a promise He never actually made — and what might change if you released that expectation today?

After seven and a half years, God has spoken clearly — and I choose obedience, even when it costs me something I love. I'm making my hardest pivot, sharing the future of this podcast, and an invitation to walk with me into what comes next. This episode is part of The Power of the Pivot series, bringing you stories from sisters in Christ leading businesses and ministries. These women share how the Lord pivoted them and what has held them steady through it all. In this episode, you'll explore: The moment God said it was time — on August 18th, 2026, during prayer, the Lord made it undeniably clear that the podcast season has come to its completion, and what it felt like to receive that word. What it means that obedience always has a cost — and why the cost doesn't make the direction wrong. In fact, sometimes the cost is precisely the point. What God is calling me into next — more writing, more depth in the Word, a new role as a devotional writer for Esther Press, and a commitment to keep going deeper with you through the newsletter. How to stay connected — download my free audio devotional to make sure you receive what God continues to put on my heart to share. Key Takeaway: Obedience is not always comfortable, and it is not always easy — but it is always worth it. God does not waste seven years, and He does not waste what He is doing in you right now either. This podcast is not ending because it failed. It is ending because it is finished. And finished, in God's economy, is something to celebrate. Reflection Question: Is there something God has been speaking clearly to you that you've been sitting on — not out of rebellion, but out of not being ready to count the cost? What would it look like to say yes this week? STAY CONNECTED WITH MEDownload my free audio devotional to make sure you receive what God continues to put on my heart to share.

You've built the business. You've done the work. And somewhere along the way, the “hustle” stopped feeling like drive and started feeling like a drain. In this final Summer Shorts episode, we revisit the four keys that redefine what hustle looks like when Jesus is leading — and why clarity, serenity, and fulfillment aren't on the other side of more striving. They're on the other side of surrender. In this episode, you'll explore: The backstory of the Lord shifting my focus in 2022 from "pursuing success God's way" to "navigating success with Jesus" — and why that distinction changes everything about how you work. What the four keys — Define, Direct, Discipline, and Develop — actually are and how they unlock clarity, serenity, and fulfillment in the assignment He's given you. Where to get the Four Keys devotional — a free five-day audio devotional that delivers one three-minute teaching to your inbox each day. The last call for the fall cohort of the Navigating Success with Jesus Masterclass! Scriptures referenced: Exodus 20:2-3 Isaiah 30:21  John 15:4-5 Key Takeaway: Hustle doesn't have to mean striving. When you allow the Lord to define you, direct you, discipline you, and develop you, the work feels different — because the source is different. You are His co-laborer, not the architect. And the outcomes He has for you are greater than anything you could manufacture on your own. Reflection Question: Of the four keys — Define, Direct, Discipline, Develop — which one are you most resistant to right now, and what would it cost you to fully surrender that area to the Lord this week?

You track your metrics. You set your strategy. You connect the dots. But what happens when the Lord won't let you see the outcome? In this episode, we go to Genesis 12 and Hebrews 11 to learn what Abraham teaches Christian business leaders: obedience, faith, commitment, and worship. In this episode, you'll explore: Why high achievers are especially tempted to lead by sight — and why the ROI-driven, outcome-focused mindset is the exact place faith is most needed. How to read Genesis 12:1-3 as a leadership lesson — circling the "I will" statements God made to Abraham and recognizing that His promises are greater than anything we can see in our humanness. Why Abraham's four-part response to God's call — obedience, faith, commitment, and worship — is the template for how Christian leaders move forward without a clear outcome. What it looks like to follow Abraham's example when you're mid-assignment, mid-build, and mid-season. Why every promise in the Word is fulfilled in Jesus — and how that truth silences the enemy's voice when outcomes don't look the way you planned. Scriptures referenced: Genesis 12:1-9 Hebrews 11:9, 17  Key Takeaway: Abraham didn't see the outcome. He didn't live to see the promise fulfilled in Jesus. And yet he was obedient, faithful, committed, and worshiped, because the Promise-maker is also the Promise-keeper. You are not called to see the finish line. You are called to be obedient in the mile you're in. Reflection Question: Where in your business right now are you more focused on the outcome than on the obedience — and what would it look like to lay that at the foot of the cross this week?

You've taken inventory of what you've been speaking. Now it's time to replace it with the Lord’s Word: six scriptures that you can personalize and declare out loud over your business, your calling, and your life every single day. In this episode, you'll explore: Why speaking the truth of Scripture out loud reinforces what the Lord says about us — no matter what our circumstances, revenue numbers, or business structure are showing us right now. How to declare God’s promises as you pray to ground your business and dismantle the lies that creep up on His high-achieving daughters so you can walk in His truth every moment. How to deploy Scripture in the valley moments — when revenue shifts, when the vision is fogged, when the enemy tries to get the tongue to speak death. A key tool to keep these declarations close at hand as you work. Scriptures referenced: Deuteronomy 28:12-13 Psalm 139:14 John 1:12 Ephesians 2:10  2 Timothy 1:7  Romans 8:28-30 This episode is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you haven't listened to Episode 362 yet, start there — it covers the commands in Scripture about watching what we speak, which sets the foundation for everything in this episode. Key TakeawayThe words you declare over yourself and your business aren't wishful thinking — they are the truth of God spoken back to the God who said them first. When circumstances are swirling, when vision is fogged, when the enemy whispers that this isn't working, you have something to say back. IT IS WRITTEN, so speak it! Reflection QuestionWhich of these six scriptures speaks most directly to the lie you've been tempted to agree with about your business or your calling — and what would it look like to declare it out loud every morning this week?

You've heard that life and death are in the power of the tongue — but what does that actually look like in your business? It’s time we followed the command to stop speaking death over life and business because there is power in our words! In this episode, we go straight to scripture to unpack the commands God has given us about the words we speak over our work, our clients, and ourselves, so we can choose to speak life instead of death. In this episode, you'll explore: What it means that the power of life and death is in the tongue, and how this small member of the body has such power, like a rudder guiding a massive ship, and what that means for where your business is headed based on what you've been saying. Why speaking negatively about your clients, your calling, or your capacity isn't just discouraging — according to Psalm 34:13, it's a form of deceit. How Matthew 15:11 reframes the question from "what am I consuming?" to "what am I saying?" — and how our words can defile God's promises over our work. How spending more time in the Word changes your thoughts, and your speech (and your actions) Scriptures referenced: James 3:1-3, 13-18 Psalm 34:13  Proverbs 18:21 Proverbs 16:24 Matthew 15:11 1 Peter 3:10-11  Philippians 4:8 This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series. Tune into Episode 363 next week for the follow-up: the specific scriptures you can declare as life-speaking truth over your business and calling. Key TakeawayWhat you say over your business matters — not just emotionally, but spiritually. Scripture doesn't give us a suggestion about the tongue; it gives us commands. And when we speak death — doubt, complaint, deceit, self-reliance — we eat that fruit. The good news is that the same Word that convicts us also transforms us. When you spend time in it, your thoughts shift, and your speech follows. Reflection QuestionIf you took an honest inventory of the words you've spoken over your business, your clients, and your calling this past week — are they more aligned with Proverbs 16:24 or Proverbs 18:21? What would need to change? NAVIGATING SUCCESS WITH JESUS MASTERCLASS - FALL COHORT ENROLLING!

Have you ever wondered how to infuse your work with your faith, especially in environments where talking about Jesus isn't always welcomed or “appropriate?” This is one of the most common questions Christian women in business and leadership ask — and this Summer Shorts episode answers it in a way that might surprise you. Because the truth is, you may already be doing it without even realizing it. In this episode, you'll explore: Why you don't have to say a word to infuse your work with your faith What it means to be indwelled by the Holy Spirit — and why every room you enter becomes a place of worship the moment you walk in Why being the calm in someone's chaos and the value in someone's valley is faith in action How your humility, solutions-focused, and servant-hearted leadership is one of the most powerful expressions of faith in the workplace Scriptures referenced: Matthew 10:19  Luke 12:12  This episode is part of the Summer Shorts series. Catch Episodes 358-360 for more bite-sized, practical conversations on faith and work. Key Takeaway Infusing your work with faith isn’t about quoting scripture. By walking into the room, you have already infused it! The Holy Spirit goes with you everywhere — into every meeting, every difficult conversation, every valley a client is walking through. Your job is simply to stay surrendered, stay present, and trust him to direct you.  Reflection Question In what specific area of your work has the Lord said, “Infuse this with your love of Jesus.”?  NAVIGATING SUCCESS WITH JESUS MASTERCLASS - FALL COHORT ENROLLING!

What if most of what we think is failure isn’t actually failure at all? And what could redefining it mean? The world has a loud, unforgiving definition of failure — and the enemy is more than happy to use it against you. But in the kingdom, “failure” looks very different. Understanding that difference changes everything about how you lead, the risks you take, and where you turn in the face of setbacks.  This episode turns the world's definition of failure upside down — as Jesus does with everything — offering a kingdom perspective on rejection, missed targets, redirection, and the things we don't get closure on. In this episode, we’re exploring: Why the "failure is not an option" mindset creates a distorted lens for Christian leaders What Israel and Judah's pattern in Jeremiah reveals about what failure actually is — disobedience, not missed metrics Why following the Lord’s direction (and redirection) is not quitting on yourself  Why what the world calls failure is often Holy Spirit development How the Navigating Success With Jesus Masterclass can help you work through how the Lord defines and directs you Scriptures referenced: Proverbs 3:5-6 Jeremiah 44:15-18 Book referenced:Liberating Ministry From the Success Syndrome — Kent and Barbara Hughes Key Takeaway Failure in the kingdom is not a missed target, a rejected proposal, or a shifted direction. Failure is disobedience — taking your own way instead of following the Lord's. Everything else is either learning, growth or Holy Spirit development in disguise. The enemy wants you to believe otherwise. Don't let him. Reflection Question What have you been calling failure in your business or leadership that the Lord might actually be calling Holy Spirit development — and what would change if you saw it that way?

What books does a Christian business coach actually keep on her shelf — and why? That's the question I’m often asked by listeners, clients, and in networking groups, and this Summer Shorts episode answers it with five go-to books that have shaped how faith, leadership, and money intersect in business for me. These aren't just good reads. They are books that consistently point readers back to Jesus, and the Word, and I find that Holy Spirit illuminates something new every time I read them!  In this episode, you'll explore: Why these five books have earned a permanent spot on my shelf My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers — the timeless daily devotional that transcends generations I Want God: Forever Changed by the Revival of Your Soul by Lisa Whittle — six hard-hitting chapters that realign your wants to what matters most The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell — a classic leadership framework that illuminates something new every time God and Money by John Cortines and Gregory Ballmer — how two Harvard MBAs discovered what the Bible really says about generosity and wealth Liberating Ministry From the Success Syndrome by Kent and Barbara Hughes — a convicting reframe of what success actually looks like in the kingdom How each of these books connects to the assignments, money stories, and leadership topics that we’ve been covering here on the podcast Books referenced: My Utmost for His Highest — Oswald Chambers I Want God: Forever Changed by the Revival of Your Soul — Lisa Whittle The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership — John Maxwell God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School — John Cortines and Gregory Ballmer Liberating Ministry From the Success Syndrome — Kent and Barbara Hughes Key Takeaway The books that last are the ones rooted in God's truth — because His truth never goes out of style!

If you're a high-achieving Christian woman in business or leadership who loves Jesus but feels a quiet unrest — like you're doing all the right things but still coming up empty — this episode is for you. We're talking about navigating success with Jesus, and the masterclass that teaches you how! In this summer shorts episode, you'll find your personal invitation to the Masterclass: a live, interactive experience designed to help you trade confusion, distraction, and overwhelm for the peace, clarity, and fulfillment that come from navigating your work with Jesus at the helm. In this episode, you'll explore: The survey of Christian women that inspired this masterclass Who the Navigating Success With Jesus Masterclass is for — business owners, corporate leaders, nonprofit leaders, and executives alike What you will walk away with after the masterclass Why peace, clarity, and fulfillment in your work are not just possible — they are his plan for you Scriptures referenced: Matthew 11:28-30 Colossians 2:6-7 Key Takeaway You were not made to navigate your business or leadership alone — and you were certainly not made to white-knuckle your way through a quiet unrest you can't quite name. The Navigating Success With Jesus Masterclass exists for exactly that woman. The one who knows something feels off and is ready to do something about it. Reflection Question Is there a gap right now between how deeply you love Jesus and how fully you're letting him lead in your work — and what would it mean to finally close it?

What if the season that looks like stagnation is actually a season of growth, yet in the Kingdom way? What if the Lord is growing your roots deeper right now? That's the question at the heart of this episode — and it will challenge everything the business world has told you about what growth is supposed to look like. Drawing from Psalm 1, Colossians 1 and 2, and James 1, this episode unpacks the difference between the world's definition of growth — revenue, reach, client roster, market share — and God's definition, which is far more concerned with maturity, depth, and fruit in its season than with worldly metrics and momentum. In this episode, you'll explore: The one question asked at the beginning of every strategy day — and why it matters more than any growth plan How the world's definition of growth (increase in revenue, reach and market share) differs from the biblical definition (maturity and development) Why your growth may actually look like your decrease, so He can increase Paul's prayer for spiritual growth in Colossians 1:9-14 — and why it's the growth that matters most Why refining and maintaining are just as holy as scaling — and what the enemy wants you to believe about those seasons Scriptures referenced: Psalm 1:1-3 Colossians 2:6-7 Colossians 1:9-14 James 1:2-4 This episode is part of a series that challenges how we view glory, provision, and growth. Go back and listen to Episodes 355 and 356 — together they build a powerful and complete picture of what it means to navigate success with Jesus. Key Takeaway Growth in the kingdom is not primarily about revenue, reach, or roster size. It is about maturity, depth, and bearing the fruit he has assigned to you in the season he has chosen. The greatest growth often happens not on the mountaintop but in the valley — when roots go deeper, faith is tested, and endurance has its full effect. Reflection Question Is the season you're in right now one of growth, refining, or maintaining — and are you at peace with whichever one the Lord has chosen for you?

While you believe that the Lord is your Provider, how do you define provision as a Christian entrepreneur? And what if whatever challenge you're facing IS the provision? THESE ARE THE CHALLENGING QUESTIONS at the heart of this episode — and this might just be the most uncomfortable and freeing truth you hear this week. We've been conditioned to believe provision looks one way: overflow, momentum, revenue, success after success. But in this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on how high-achieving sisters in Christ wrestle with what it really means to trust God as provider — especially when the bank account, the effort, or the obedience don't seem to reflect what they think it should. From the woman whose business hasn't landed a client in a year (and yet lacks nothing) to the earworm lie that "if you're not growing, you're dying," this episode challenges kingdom entrepreneurs to trade the world's definition of provision for God's. In this episode, you'll explore: Why everything belongs to God — and what that means for your business How provision can look like slowing down, scaling back, or even a part-time job The prosperity gospel undercurrent that quietly shapes how Christian business owners think Why thriving in the kingdom often starts in darkness, not abundance The lie the enemy uses to keep you striving instead of trusting Scriptures referenced: Psalm 50 Isaiah 45 Jeremiah 18 Matthew 6:31-33 Matthew 7:11 Philippians 4:19 Romans 8:17-18 If this episode stirred something in you, go back and listen to Episode 354 — "Even If He Doesn't: Whose Outcomes Are You Expecting?" These two episodes together will shift how you see God's faithfulness in every season of your business. Key Takeaway Provision isn't defined by overflow — it's defined by God's character. He doesn't just give good things; He is good, even when His provision looks like slowing down, scaling back, or a season where nothing seems to be happening. The question was never "what is provision?" It's "do I believe He is good enough to trust His definition of it over mine?" Reflection Question Where in my business right now am I measuring provision by the world's standard — overflow, growth, visible momentum — instead of trusting that God may be providing through stillness, rest, or a season of going deeper with Him?

Even if God never gives you the outcomes you've been working toward or expecting? Would you still obey? That's the question at the center of this episode — and it's one that has been deeply personal in this season. Let's unpack what it truly looks like to remain obedient to your God-given assignment even if the outcomes look nothing like you're expecting. This isn't a message against building a thriving business. It's an invitation to examine where your hope is anchored — and whether you've been leaning on His understanding or your own. In This Episode: The "even if" defiance of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3:16–18 — and what their posture in the fire teaches us about obedience without guaranteed outcomes Why Proverbs 3:7 goes beyond what we typically take from this passage — and what it means to not be wise in your own eyes as a Christian entrepreneur Psalm 37:23–24 and 31 on what it means to have your steps established, ordered, and secured by the Lord — even when you fall The Isaiah 46 reminder that He alone carries, bears, and rescues — and how the idols of recognition, achievement, income, and stages cannot answer us or save us from our trouble The stunning parallel between Daniel 3 and Habakkuk 3:17–18 — and why "even if" appearing in both passages is no coincidence The difference between the world's promises and the Lord's promises — and how to find contentment and fulfillment in the assignment itself, regardless of the outcome Scripture References: Daniel 3:16–18 Proverbs 3:5–7 Psalm 37:23–24, 31 Isaiah 46:4, 7, 10–11 Habakkuk 3:17–18 Key Takeaway: God does not promise to save us from the fire — He promises to walk with us through it. As Christian entrepreneurs, we are not called to be obedient only when the outcomes match our expectations. We are called to obey because He is good, because His plan will take place, and because our steps are ordered by a God who already knows where they lead. The assignment was never about our gain. It was always about His glory — in the full seasons and the quiet ones alike. This week's reflection question:  Even if it doesn't look the way you expected — even if the book went nowhere, the stage led to nothing, the business didn't scale the way you planned — will you continue to be obedient to what He has given you? This episode could be a sister to last week's on misappropriating glory! Listen to that episode here.
