Episode Summary
The business landscape is shifting faster than most faith-driven entrepreneurs are prepared for. Many will fall behind, not because their faith is weak, but because they are attempting to build a Kingdom business using worldly systems. In this episode, Dr. Chonta Haynes reveals three non-negotiable shifts every faith-based entrepreneur must make before 2026 to build a resilient, God-centered business that thrives in changing times. This message is both prophetic and practical, calling leaders to move from isolation to covenant community, from hustle to stewardship through technology, and from chasing goals to receiving divine assignment.

Episode Summary

As the year comes to a close, many believers feel more drained than victorious. Instead of rushing into resolutions fueled by pressure and comparison, this episode invites you to pause. Through a grace-centered, Scripture-grounded approach, you are guided through three spiritual activities that help you close the year in peace and step into the next season aligned with God’s purpose.

This teaching walks you through reflecting on God’s faithfulness, releasing burdens you were never meant to carry, resetting your heart through repentance without shame, and realigning your future by receiving a word from God for the year ahead. This is not about doing more. It is about surrendering well.
