Feeling Jealous of Other Christian Entrepreneurs? This Mindset Shift Changes Everything

You’re doom-scrolling at 10 PM (we’ve literally all been there), when suddenly SHE appears on your feed. That impossibly successful Christian woman in business with the perfect aesthetic, 6-figure launches, and a following that makes your heart do an ugly little twinge thing. And just like that…you’re spiraling faster than you can say “faith over fear.”

OK, The Comparison Trap is Officially TOXIC

The Bible straight-up calls us out in Galatians 6:4-5 with: “Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.” And yet here you are, obsessively tracking your engagement rate against hers.

Let’s get brutally honest about what you’re probably doing:

STALKING that Christian coach who launched a waitlist so huge it crashed her site (while you’re praying for just 10 sign-ups)
ANALYZING every detail of a faith-based influencer’s Pinterest-perfect brand photoshoot (that you definitely can’t afford yet)
CALCULATING how many zeros may be in that other girl’s monthly revenue (while your own bank account is giving major “loaves and fishes needed” vibes)

The Truth That Will Blow. Your. Mind.

Ready for the spiritual glow-up your business desperately needs? Here it is: In God’s economy, scarcity is NOT a thing.

And no, I’m telling you some cute quote that you can use to place in your planner later. It’s the ultimate power move that the most successful Christian entrepreneurs have been secretly practicing forever.

When you FINALLY get this (like, really get it), those other Christian women in business transform from competition into:

Your Ultimate Business Inspos – Their success isn’t stealing your spotlight, but instead literally showing you what’s waiting in your future!
Your Greatest Connection Opportunities – Stop seeing rivals and start seeing future masterminds, podcast swaps, and collab partners who might slide into your DMs!
Your Business Forerunners – They’re not ahead of you but rather clearing the path FOR you. (Mind = blown, right?)

4 Insanely Effective Ways to Ditch the Jealousy

Next time you feel the jealousy monster creeping in faster than a church service running into lunchtime, try these tested-and-obsessed-over strategies:

1. Thought-Stop Like Your Business Depends on It (Because It Does!)

“We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5) is basically the ultimate mental detox. When that comparison thought hits, acknowledge it…then literally say “NOPE” out loud and pivot to gratitude faster than you switch from work mode to worship playlist.

2. Prayer = The Ultimate Power Move

This strategy is SO good it feels almost scandalous: When you’re seething with jealousy over someone’s latest win, immediately pray the MOST ridiculously generous blessing over their business. Try: “God, make her next launch even BIGGER and use her to reach even MORE people!” The jealousy literally cannot survive.

3. Hype Her Up So Hard It Hurts

Double tap her post like your finger depends on it. Leave that comment dripping with fire emojis. Send a voice message celebrating her success. Plot twist: Being someone else’s biggest fan positions you for your own breakthrough moment.

4. Your Lane Is Purposeful (So Stay In It!)

Psalm 139 literally confirms you’re “fearfully and wonderfully made” with a purpose that’s uniquely yours. Your business doesn’t need her aesthetic because God designed YOU with a specific audience in mind who needs exactly what only YOU offer.

Why This Mindset Is the Ultimate Business Strategy

Once you fully embrace this abundance thinking, something amazing happens. Your content gets more authentic. Your launches feel more aligned. Your stress levels? DOWN. Your creative flow? UP. And ironically, when you stop white-knuckling your way to success and start celebrating others, that’s when your business experiences its sexiest growth phase yet.

Another entrepreneur’s success is not your failure. The God who blessed her viral launch knows exactly what’s on your prayer list and is working behind the scenes on a breakthrough that will make your jaw DROP.

Your moment is coming, and it will probably be even better than you’ve imagined. So until then, keep building other ladies up. At the end of the day, you all are working hard to serve His purpose for your life. build each other up as we create businesses that don’t just serve our bank accounts, but serve His purpose too.

5 Lies the Enemy Tells Creative Women (and How to Overcome Them)

How many times have you felt like you’re not talented enough, your work doesn’t matter, or you’re not cut out to be an entrepreneur? These lies can hold Christian women back from fully pursuing your passions and living out your purpose.

When those thoughts start creeping in, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison, procrastination, or even giving up on your dreams altogether. But what if I told you that those lies are holding you back from the abundant life and thriving business God has in store for you?

As someone who’s been there, I know how paralyzing those thoughts can be. But through prayer, studying God’s Word, and surrounding myself with a supportive community, I’ve learned how to silence the self-doubt and step into my calling with confidence. And friend, I want the same for you!

So, let’s expose these lies together and replace them with the truth of God’s promises. Get ready to be encouraged, equipped, and empowered to chase after your God-given dreams with boldness and joy!

Lie #1…You’re not talented enough.

The first lie the enemy tells Christian women is that we’re not talented enough. He whispers that our skills are inadequate, that we’ll never measure up to the “real” artists or entrepreneurs out there.

But here’s the truth…You have been given unique gifts and abilities, and they are not a mistake! In Exodus 31:1-5, we see how God filled Bezalel with His Spirit, giving him the wisdom, understanding, and skill to create beautiful things for the tabernacle. Just like Bezalel, you are appointed to use your creative gifts for a greater purpose.

Tap into your talents and trust that you will be equipped with everything you need to succeed. For example, if you’re a photographer, remember that you have a unique eye for capturing beauty and telling stories through your lens. If you’re a writer, know that you have the ability to craft words that inspire, encourage, and transform lives.

Lie #2…Your work doesn’t matter.

He tries to convince us that our creative work are just hobbies or a waste of time.

Look, your work matters! In Colossians 3:23-24, Paul writes, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Your creative work has value and significance, even if the world doesn’t always recognize it.

For instance, if you’re a graphic designer creating beautiful images and layouts, you’re reflecting creativity and excellence. If you’re a musician writing songs that evoke emotion and connection, you’re using your gifts to impact others and bring more beauty into the world.

Lie #3…You’re not cut out to be an entrepreneur.

He makes us doubt our abilities and question whether we’re really supposed to be pursuing this path.

But remember, if you have a dream in your heart to use your creative gifts in business, then you are absolutely cut out for it! Don’t let doubts and fears hold you back from stepping into your calling.

For example, if you feel called to start a business that creates products with inspiring messages, trust that you will be guided and provided with the resources and opportunities you need. If you dream of starting a design studio that reflects your aesthetic and values, know that your creativity can be used to impact lives and make a difference.

Lie #4…You have to compromise your integrity to succeed.

The fourth lie the enemy tells Christian women is that we have to compromise our integrity to succeed in business. He whispers that we need to water down our message, blend in with the crowd, or engage in unethical practices to get ahead.

But the truth is, you are called to lead with authenticity and shine a light in your industry. In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus says, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Your values are not a hindrance to your success; they are your greatest asset! Trust that you will be guided and provided for as you build a business with integrity.

For instance, if you’re an interior designer, you can choose to work with clients who appreciate your thoughtful, purposeful design principles and create spaces that reflect beauty and intention. If you’re a coach or consultant, you can incorporate your values and mission into your services to help your clients find true transformation and purpose.

Lie #5…You’re all alone in this journey.

He tries to isolate us and make us feel like no one understands our struggles or supports our dreams.

But the beautiful truth is that you are never alone! God has given you a community of fellow believers to encourage, inspire, and uplift you. In Hebrews 10:24-25, we’re reminded to “consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Surround yourself with like-minded creative women who will pray for you, support you, and cheer you on as you pursue your God-given calling. Join a local or online group of entrepreneurs who can relate to your experiences and offer wisdom and encouragement. Attend conferences and workshops where you can connect with other creatives and learn from their journeys.

Remember, you are never alone when you have God and a supportive community by your side!

Friend, I hope you’re encouraged to silence the lies and step into your calling with confidence. Remember, you are talented enough, your work matters, you are cut out for entrepreneurship, you don’t have to compromise your integrity to succeed, and you are not alone in this journey.

Let these truths sink deep into your heart and mind, and don’t let the enemy’s lies hold you back from fully pursuing the passions and purpose God has placed within you. You’ve got this, because God’s got you!

Spring Forward with Journaling: 7 Prompts to Connect with Your Faith and Goals

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring. For some reason, the longer daylight hours energize me, and it brings me joy to workout or take walks after work as part of my evening routine. Speaking of my evening routine, I also wind down with a good book and journaling.

As someone who has always been obsessed with journals and putting my thoughts onto paper, I have discovered countless benefits to incorporating journaling into my daily routine. Not only does it help me stay organized and accountable, but it also reminds me of my spiritual journey and the blessings that God has bestowed upon me.

That’s why I want to share with you seven journal prompts for March, that will hopefully help you connect with your faith and embrace the opportunities of this season:

1. Reflect on how you’ve grown and changed since the beginning of the year. What new skills have you learned, what goals have you accomplished, and what challenges have you faced? How has your faith helped you through these experiences?

2. Write about what spring means to you. What are your favorite spring traditions, and how can you incorporate them into your work and daily life?

3. Write about a time when you felt stuck or stagnant in your business or creative projects. What steps can you take this spring to revitalize your work and find inspiration?

4. What are your top three goals for the spring season? How can you break these goals down into smaller, achievable steps, and how can you incorporate your faith into this process?

5. Write about a time when you experienced a sense of awe or wonder in nature. How did this experience deepen your faith, and how can you continue to connect with the natural world this spring?

6. Describe a time when you faced a difficult decision or challenge in your work. How did your faith guide you through this experience, and what lessons did you learn?

7. Write about one small step you can take each day to prioritize your mental and emotional health this spring. How can you find balance and take care of yourself while pursuing your entrepreneurial goals?

Spring has a way of bringing us all out of hibernation and into a season of growth and change. With these journal prompts, you can feel refreshed, reflect on your journey, and connect with your faith on a deeper level. Get ready to blossom!
