    The #1 Way I Grew My Email List without a Lead Magnet or Social Media [Ep. 169]
    Apr 28 2025
    How I Grew My Email List Without Freebies or Social Media Have you been spinning your wheels trying to grow your email list with little results? Are you tired of being told you need to create yet another freebie or dance and point on social media? I want to share how I transformed my business by tripling (and even quadrupling) my email list without relying on social media, paid ads, or the standard lead magnet freebies that everyone claims are essential. My List Growth Journey Back in 2022, I had only about 150 subscribers after nearly two and a half years of trying to build my list. The problem? I was making critical mistakes: I created lead magnets that didn't lead anywhereI had no customer journey mapped outI lacked clarity on my offer and ideal clientMy business wasn't aligned with God's design yet Then I discovered a strategy that changed everything. In just weeks, I tripled my email list. More recently, I grew my list by 162 amazing women in just 22 days – all while I was sick and unable to actively work on my business! The Strategy: Leveraging Collaboration as Your Top-of-Funnel Lead Magnet The key to my success has been using collaborations as my primary lead generation strategy. Instead of relying on traditional freebies, I focus on: Value Visibility: Strategically showing up where my ideal audience already gathers by participating in collaborations, guest teaching, and providing genuine valueVoice Visibility: Building relationships and credibility by lending my unique voice to conversations through podcast guesting, collaborative projects, and partnership events This framework focuses on quality over quantity, resulting in more engaged subscribers right from day one. Recent Results Those 162 new subscribers I mentioned? They came from just two bundle events I participated in. And my current open rates hover between 30-50% (well above industry standards), with click-through rates also exceeding averages. This tells me I'm not just growing my list – I'm growing it with the right people who genuinely engage with my content. Why I Don't Rely on Social Media Here's where I might be a bit controversial: I intentionally shifted away from social media as my primary list-building strategy. Why? Social media algorithms control your reachPlatform tactics and strategies constantly changeSuccess becomes tied to something outside your control Instead, I focused on strategic partnerships that give me direct access to my audience without algorithm interference. This doesn't mean I abandoned social media completely (though I did lose all my accounts to hacking in January 2025 right before a huge launch). I still maintain a presence, but it's supplementary rather than foundational. The freedom this shift has given me is incredible! I'm no longer stressed about posting daily or keeping up with the latest trends. I've reclaimed hours each week to better serve my audience and clients. My Email Growth Drivers Here's what actually drives my list growth: Strategic collaborations: Carefully selected bundle events where my offer is positioned alongside complementary experts serving the same audienceSpeaking at virtual summits: Events with hosts committed to promotion and audiences that match mineHosting my own collaboration events: This gives the biggest return on time invested as you control the positioning and collect all email addresses The power of collaboration strategies is that they bring in pre-qualified subscribers – people who have actively said "yes" to your content rather than random clicks on ads or freebies. Common Mistakes to Avoid As you rethink your email growth strategy, watch out for these common pitfalls: Chasing vanity metrics: Focusing on likes, shares, or subscriber count over engagement and qualityInconsistency: Emailing sporadically instead of maintaining regular contact (at least weekly)Treating your list like an ATM: Only showing up when you have something to sellNever making offers: Not giving subscribers opportunities to say yes to your products or servicesOverwhelming new subscribers: Giving too much content with confused messaging that doesn't lead to a clear next step Your Action Steps Ready to implement this strategy yourself? Here's where to start: Identify 2-3 potential collaboration opportunities for this quarter (remember: what you do today affects your business 60-90 days out)Implement the visibility framework by asking where you can provide genuine value and lend your voice to existing conversationsCommit to nurturing your current list consistently with a simple email scheduleAudit your current list-building strategies and honestly evaluate what's working and what isn't Remember, sustainable business growth comes from focusing on the right strategies, not all the strategies. By making strategic collaborations your top-of-funnel lead magnet, you can build a thriving email list of engaged people who genuinely want to hear from you. Looking for help with collaboration ...

    168 // AI vs. Human Connection: Why Faith-Fueled Copywriting Wins Every Time with Krista Tressa
    Apr 17 2025
    The Power of Faith and Authenticity in Copywriting with Krista Tressa In the world of business, especially for Christian entrepreneurs, it can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and overlook one of the most important aspects of success: authenticity. How do you build a business that not only thrives but also reflects the values of your faith? Today’s episode of the Kingdom Revolution Podcast is essential for those of you who are seeking to deepen your connection with your audience and create a business that stands out for the right reasons. We’re diving into the powerful intersection of faith and copywriting with Krista Tressa, a Christ-centered CEO and Chief Copywriting Officer at Caring Messenger Copywriting. Krista’s mission is to help small businesses connect authentically with their audiences through emotionally intelligent, purpose-driven messaging that not only elevates profits but also advances the Kingdom of God. If you’ve ever wondered how to blend your faith with your business in a meaningful way, this episode is packed with wisdom and insight that you don’t want to miss. From Pharmacist to Entrepreneur: A God-Driven Journey Krista’s story is one of divine orchestration. Originally trained as a pharmacist and later a high school tech ed teacher, Krista’s career path took an unexpected turn into copywriting. As she reflects, it’s clear that this shift was guided by God. “It’s a God thing,” Krista says. “Writing’s always been a passion of mine. I didn’t realize that I could help my family financially with it.” Over time, God used her past experiences to fuel her new career, leading her to empower kingdom builders and Christian entrepreneurs through her copywriting services. Her journey into entrepreneurship, which she now sees as part of her ministry, is a testimony to God’s timing. Krista helps businesses communicate their heart and values through impactful messaging, believing that copywriting is not just a skill—it’s a ministry. “It’s really a God thing,” she emphasizes, acknowledging the role of faith in everything she does. Copywriting: More Than Just Words Krista explains copywriting as the art of using emotionally intelligent messaging to connect with an audience and inspire action. Whether selling a product or service, the goal is to emotionally engage potential customers so they’ll take the desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service. But copywriting is much more than just writing words; it involves storytelling, brand voice, and tapping into human emotions. Krista describes her approach as one driven by discernment and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. She has a unique ability to read between the lines and connect with people on a deeper level. This skill, she says, has helped her build a thriving business and make a positive impact on her clients. She also shares a special moment when her children, especially her teenagers, ask her for help editing papers. “It’s heartwarming,” she says, “because I get to nurture that gift of writing while encouraging them in their own journey.” Understanding Your Brand Voice: The Importance of a Tone Guide One of the key aspects of Krista’s work is helping clients understand their brand voice and tone. For many entrepreneurs, especially in the early stages of their business, it can be challenging to express their unique message in a way that resonates with their ideal audience. This is where Krista’s expertise shines. She explains, “Not everyone is gifted with tapping into the emotional side of messaging or knows how to share their story effectively. That’s where I come in.” Whether a client is unsure about their brand tone or needs help articulating their message, Krista works closely with them to refine their voice and create a tone guide. This guide serves as a foundation for all marketing materials and ensures consistency as the business grows. Krista also highlights the value of hiring a professional copywriter early in the process. “It’s so important to have someone who can draw that authentic message out of you,” she says. By enlisting an expert, entrepreneurs can build a stronger connection with their audience and stand out in the crowded online space. The Role of AI in Copywriting: A Tool, Not a Replacement In the age of artificial intelligence, many business owners turn to AI for content creation. But Krista warns against relying solely on AI for copywriting. While AI can be a useful tool for streamlining processes or analyzing data, it lacks the human touch that is essential for emotional engagement. “AI is a tool, but it’s not meant to replace the human connection,” Krista explains. “Your clients will eventually figure out if you’re hiding behind AI. It’s artificial—it’s not real.” What AI can’t replicate is the intuition, discernment, and Holy Spirit guidance that a Christ-centered copywriter brings to the table. Krista ...

    167 // The #1 Lead Magnet Mistake Christian Women in Online Business Make
    Apr 8 2025
    The #1 Lead Magnet Mistake Christian Women in Online Business Make Is your free lead magnet secretly sabotaging your sales? Discover why most Christian Women Entrepreneurs are making a critical mistake with their email list strategy. The Lead Magnet Mistake That's Costing You Sales You've done everything "right." You created that free PDF guide, checklist, or resource. You've promoted it on social media. You've participated in bundles and summits. Your email list has grown impressively, and your open rates look decent. People even compliment your content. But when you finally launch your offer... crickets. If this sounds familiar, you're experiencing what I call the invisible gap – a critical mistake that many Christian women entrepreneurs make when building their email list. The Core Problem: Your Freebie Doesn't Create Desire for Your Offer The fundamental issue isn't that you have a lead magnet or that you're building an email list. The problem is that your freebie doesn't strategically align with your paid offer, creating a disconnect in your customer journey. Most entrepreneurs experience marketing funnels from left to right: See content or adOpt in for freebieJoin email listAttend webinar/challengeConsider paid offer So naturally, they create their funnel in that same order. They start by making a lead magnet, then figure out what to sell later. This approach creates a fatal flaw: building a bridge that leads nowhere. The Counterintuitive Approach: Start with the End in Mind Successful online marketers take a completely different approach. They work backwards, not forwards: Define your paid offer first - Get absolute clarity on what transformation you provideMap your signature framework - Outline exactly how you help your ideal clientsExtract a strategic piece - Create a lead magnet that naturally sets up desire for your offer When you start with your offer first, your entire funnel becomes strategically aligned. Your lead magnet doesn't just build your list – it begins the sales process by attracting the right people and creating demand for your solution. The Two-Question Framework for Converting Lead Magnets To create a lead magnet that effectively bridges to your paid offer, ask these two critical questions: What specific, tangible outcome does your offer provide? (Focus on external, visible results) Instead of "Improve your YouTube marketing"Try "Get your first YouTube video ranked at the top of YouTube search" What does that give them? (Ask repeatedly to uncover deeper emotional benefits) More exposureMore leads and salesMore moneyMore freedom and time with family These questions help you define both the external and internal outcomes of your offer, allowing you to create a lead magnet that speaks directly to these desires. Common Lead Magnet Mistakes to Avoid 1. Duct-Taping Your Business Together Creating a lead magnet without knowing what you're selling next leaves you constantly starting and stopping, trying to figure out the next step. 2. Choosing Unrelated Lead Magnet Topics If your lead magnet doesn't connect logically to your offer, you'll attract the wrong subscribers. Example: A YouTube course with a lead magnet about building an email list. 3. Working in the Wrong Direction Experiencing funnels from left to right, then creating yours the same way, leads to misalignment and poor results. The Consequences of Getting This Wrong When your lead magnet doesn't align with your offer, you'll experience: Large email list but few buyersWasted effort on content that doesn't generate salesEndless content creation trying to warm up the wrong audienceConstant frustration and underwhelming launches The Solution: Map Your Customer Journey Backwards Smart Kingdom entrepreneurs work backwards: Start with YOU by God's design (extract your unique blueprint)Define your offer with absolute clarityMap your customer journey toward that paid offerCreate a lead magnet that bridges the gap Your lead magnet should be the first step of your sales funnel, not a separate list-building activity. Think of it as the perfect first step in your client's transformation journey. Ready to Fix Your Lead Magnet Strategy? If you're ready to stop duct-taping your business together and create a strategic funnel that actually converts, you need to: Get clarity on your offerDefine your "B to Y" (the bridge that takes clients from their current situation to their desired outcome)Create a lead magnet that creates genuine demand for your solution Remember: If your lead magnet doesn't create desire for your offer and move your ideal client closer to saying yes, it's not serving its purpose.

  • 166. Amplify Your Kingdom Message: The Power of Podcast Guesting with Sabrina Hammonds

    166. Amplify Your Kingdom Message: The Power of Podcast Guesting with Sabrina Hammonds
    Mar 27 2025
    Amplify Your Kingdom Message: The Power of Podcast Guesting with Sabrina Hammonds Are you a Kingdom woman in online business looking to expand your reach and impact? What if the key to amplifying your God-given message lies not in chasing social media algorithms, but in authentic conversations that reach deeply engaged listeners? In a recent episode of the Kingdom Revolution podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Sabrina Hammonds, founder of Kingdom Connections Podcast and Media Agency. Sabrina helps transformational leaders amplify their message and connect with their ideal audience through strategic podcast guesting. How Podcast Guesting Can Transform Your Kingdom Business Sabrina’s journey into podcast guesting began unexpectedly. With no intention of starting a business and no knowledge of what a podcast was, she found herself offering to help someone share their powerful testimony. “I had no idea what I was offering to do for this woman,” Sabrina recalls. “And she says, ‘Yeah, I’m supposed to be speaking. The Lord’s already told me that. Let’s do it.'” This led to what Sabrina describes as “building the plane as you go” business model, where she discovered podcast guesting as an effective way to help her clients share their message. “Never discount yourself or count yourself out from doing what you feel like God is leading you to simply because you don’t know. It’s okay. He knows and that’s enough.” Getting Started with Podcast Guesting If you’re interested in trying podcast guesting, Sabrina recommends starting in communities where people are looking for collaboration partners. Here’s a simple approach: Join communities (like Kristen’s) where podcast hosts gatherShare that you’re passionate about your topic and looking for opportunities to add valueWhen someone responds with their podcast, listen to 2-3 episodes to understand their message and audienceReach out authentically: “I listened to your podcast. I listened to this episode. I totally relate and resonate with what you shared. I think I could really add value to your audience because this is what I’m passionate about sharing.” Remember, podcast hosts are looking for guests who can fill in gaps and solve problems their audience is experiencing. Quality Over Quantity: The Power of One Connection Sabrina emphasizes that podcast guesting isn’t about the number of shows you appear on, but the quality of connections you make. She shared how one strategic connection with Nadine Mullings has created multiplication in her business and for her clients. “God is a God of relationships. Through this one connection, there has been such multiplication in my business and in the business and connections for my clients—I can’t even tell you how much, it’s almost too much to count.” This approach aligns with Kingdom principles. We’re not doing business the world’s way, focused solely on numbers, but the Lord’s way, where He can multiply the impact of even one appearance. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Pitching Yourself as a Guest Sabrina highlighted four common pitfalls to avoid: Lack of research: Don’t mass-pitch to podcasts without thoroughly understanding their message and audience. “Spirituality doesn’t mean the same thing to everybody,” Sabrina warns.Self-focused pitching: Focus on how you can add value to the host’s audience rather than listing your own accomplishments.Giving up after one attempt: Many podcasts receive numerous pitches daily. Follow up if you don’t hear back initially.Trying to fit in: Understand and confidently communicate the unique value you bring. “We’re not supposed to figure out how we can fit, but really understand our value and share that with the podcast host.” Take Your Next Step: Visibility Strategy Session If you’re interested in leveraging podcast guesting to amplify your Kingdom message, Sabrina is offering a special Visibility Strategy Session.

    165. Why Social Media Is Failing Us & 3 Things That Need To Be Working Together In Your Online Business
    Mar 25 2025
    Why Social Media Is Failing Us and 3 Things That Need To Be Working Together In Your Online Business Are you tired of being a slave to social media for your online business growth? You're not alone. As Christian women in business, we're called to make an impact while building profitable, sustainable enterprises by God's design. But the old lead generation tactics—especially social media—simply aren't working anymore in 2025. Why Social Media Is Failing Us Remember that old commercial that said, "This is your brain, this is drugs, this is your brain on drugs"? Think of that as "This is your brain, this is social media, this is your brain on social media." Social media platforms are purposely designed to be addictive. They release quick hits of dopamine that give us snapshots of happiness, and the more we seek it out, the more dopamine gets released. This addiction leads to doom scrolling for hours when we only meant to check our engagement or make a post. As business owners, this addiction can leave us: Burnt outQuestioning our callingWondering, "Lord, did I even hear you right?" I've been there. I was spending too much time being a slave to social media, trying to show up in Facebook groups and add value, but it wasn't working. That's when I realized that social media is not a business growth plan. The Three-Point Customer Lifecycle There are three essential components that need to be working in your online business to make it successful, profitable, and sustainable: 1. Lead Generation This is the entry point where new people discover you. The outdated lead generation strategies are not working in 2025 and beyond, specifically social media. We need smarter approaches to bringing quality leads into our world. In 2022, I hosted my first virtual event that led to 656 new amazing women on my email list. This led to a sold-out one-on-one coaching program for the rest of that year and catapulted me into a membership and group coaching program. 2. Nurture Phase Building relationships with your audience is just as important as lead generation. Your nurture strategy should be unique to you and your business—we're not building cookie-cutter businesses here. We're following God's blueprint for our specific calling. This isn't just about nurturing through your email list. It's about implementing strategies that get you in front of your people to increase and strengthen that know, like, and trust factor. We're currently in a trust recession. Too many people have been burned by coaches and mentors who over-promise and under-deliver. Many potential clients tell me they've invested so much in coaches or programs and are still trying to pay it off because they didn't get the promised results. Often, these coaches are teaching outdated strategies: Adding value in countless Facebook groups until you're blue in the faceSending "hey girl" messagesRunning Facebook ads prematurely (before your messaging is clear)Implementing slow growth organic strategies when you need momentum 3. Sales Conversion This is where you convert those relationships into paying clients. While you can show up and add value, the real transformation happens at the time of transaction. Solving 100% of your clients' problems happens on the other side of that paid wall. Moving Forward Without Social Media All three of these components need to work together like a well-oiled machine in your online business: Lead generation brings in new leadsNurturing establishes deep relationships with themSales conversion leads them to your paid offer where transformation happens Now is your "for such a time as this" moment. God is calling bold kingdom women into the online business space to have profitable businesses that not only help the people you're called to serve but also create kingdom wealth so you can give more, bless more, and change broken systems. Next Steps: If you're ready to ditch the social media hamster wheel and build a business by God's design: Listen to my "Grow Without the Scroll" private podcast, where I share my seven-step faith-filled framework to leverage the power of collaborations! Grab it here!Join my upcoming "Called to the Business Battlefield" nine-day event starting March 31st, where I'll walk you through my SMART lead generation method This strategic battle plan is designed for bold kingdom women in business who are status quo challengers. You'll learn how to launch a profitable and impactful business without being a slave to social media, without compromising your faith and values, and without piecing it together with worldly tactics. It's time to have a profitable online business that wreaks havoc on the powers of darkness and takes back territory the enemy stole.

  • 164 // Becoming Wealth Blessed With Author Elizabeth Brickman

    164 // Becoming Wealth Blessed With Author Elizabeth Brickman
    Mar 20 2025
    Becoming Wealth Blessed With Author Elizabeth Brickman In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Revolution Podcast, host Kristin Dronchi welcomes Elizabeth Brickman, author of "Wealth Blessed: Why Good People Lose Everything and Why You Don't Have To." Elizabeth shares her remarkable journey and insights on developing a healthy, biblical relationship with money and wealth. From Wealth to Poverty and Back Again Elizabeth Brickman's journey with money began in childhood abundance. Born into a wealthy family, she experienced financial security until age nine when her family lost everything. "First we lost the housekeeper, and then we lost the house. And all the contents," Elizabeth recalls. This dramatic shift from comfort to struggle planted a seed in Elizabeth—not for wealth itself, but for financial security. She developed a passion "to not ever be so at risk or to lose everything." What makes Elizabeth's perspective unique is that, unlike many success stories we typically hear, hers begins with wealth, transitions through loss, and returns to abundance with a transformed relationship to money. Her experience provides a rare and valuable lens through which to view our own financial journeys. Money: Neither to Love Nor to Hate One of the most powerful insights Elizabeth shares is her balanced view of wealth. She challenges the notion that holiness requires financial struggle: "We're not allowed to love money, but we don't need to prove our holiness by hating money." Elizabeth explains that rejecting opportunities to use our God-given gifts (Ephesians 2:10) prevents us from stewarding what God has ordained for us. She poses an important question: "If Christians all decide it sounds holier to be poor, eventually all the wealth will go into the hands of unbelievers. Will those unbelievers support our churches, our ministries? They will not." Instead, Elizabeth advocates for a middle path: "We're not going to love money. We're not going to hate money. We're going to use money as the tool, God's tool to live our fullest life in Him and to help prosper the church, ministries, kingdom causes." Preparing for Wealth Before It Comes Perhaps the most counter-cultural concept Elizabeth introduces is the importance of preparing ourselves for wealth before it arrives. She uses a powerful analogy: "You would never give a lobster to a baby, not because the lobster is bad, but the baby couldn't handle it." Similarly, Elizabeth suggests that God, as our loving Father, may withhold financial abundance until we're prepared to handle it wisely. When wealth comes to the unprepared—whether through business success, inheritance, or other means—it can become destructive: "The money intended to answer our prayer becomes the tempter of our sin.""The money intended to strengthen our relationships becomes the issue that spoils those relationships.""The money intended to heal our past can end up becoming a billboard that advertises our shame." Elizabeth emphasizes that being "wealth blessed" isn't about net worth—it's about "net trust" and preparation. It involves equipping ourselves spiritually and emotionally to handle abundance before it arrives. God's Financial Therapy: Healing Your Money Wounds At the heart of Elizabeth's message is the concept of "God's financial therapy"—a process of identifying and healing the wounds that shape our unhealthy financial behaviors. "Most of us, if not all of us, carry wounds from our life," Elizabeth explains. These wounds might come from childhood experiences, a teacher's comment, or even innocent parental actions misunderstood by a child. The danger comes when these unresolved wounds drive our financial decisions: "Instead of money expressing our godly values, which we do have, the money ends up expressing the wounds." Elizabeth has identified nine common "pain points" where people misuse money to punish, prove, or please others in unhealthy ways. The solution? "We need to take our wounds, examine our own hearts, bring those to the altar and ask God for His financial therapy." Elizabeth shares that God's financial therapy works in three dimensions: Healing your past (childhood wounds)Healing your present (current financial struggles)Healing your future (preparing for prosperity) Common Money Wounds and Their Solutions Elizabeth highlights several common financial wounds that can sabotage our relationship with money: 1. The Wound of a Poor Childhood Risk: Merging past, present, and future into one limiting financial identity ("It will never work for me") Solution: "Lord, I know my soul is my most important asset. I am rich in Christ. I have come far and I am going far." 2. The Wound of Past Mistakes Risk: Becoming judge and jury of ourselves, wearing past mistakes like a permanent badge Solution: Seeking forgiveness from God rather than carrying unending guilt 3. The Wound of Shame Risk: Making financial decisions based on "bad intel" filtered through shame Solution: Replacing shame ...

Episode Summary Wondering how to grow your email list without social media? Discover how Stacy Goldstein, a homeschooling mom and mindset coach, achieved 400% growth in just 30 days—without relying on social media platforms. Meet Stacy Goldstein: Mindset Coach for Christian Moms Stacy Goldstein is a homeschooling mother of three boys who serves as a mindset coach for Christian moms. Her mission? Helping women break free from worldly expectations so they can live their most authentic lives. With a background in healthcare and a passion for scientific research, Stacy brings a unique approach to coaching. She focuses on subconscious techniques to help her clients overcome limiting beliefs, release trauma (both individual and generational), and eliminate disruptive habits. The Challenge: How to Grow Your Email List Without Social Media Like many coaches just starting their business, Stacy faced a common obstacle: growing her email list. However, she had an additional challenge—she didn't want to rely on social media. "I don't hate social media," Stacy explains, "but it stressed me out when I thought about growing a business where I had to be tied to my phone all the time and had to post 15 times at specific times of day. I just couldn't do it." Before discovering an alternative approach, Stacy's email list consisted of just three subscribers (actually only two people, as one person had signed up with both their personal and business email). The Solution: Kingdom Collaborations and Bundle Events Stacy's journey began when she participated in a bundle about growing a business without social media. Through this event, she connected with bundle host Kristen and discovered the power of collaboration-based marketing. After participating as a contributor in Kristin's bundle, Stacy's email list grew from 3 to 37 subscribers—a significant milestone for her at the time. This success inspired her to join Kristen's "Bundles with Impact" program to learn how to host her own bundle event. The Results: 400% Growth in 30 Days With the guidance of the Bundles with Impact program, Stacy launched her own bundle event in just 30 days: She recruited 30 contributorsHer email list grew from 37 to 187 subscribers—a 400% increaseShe maintained a low unsubscribe rate, losing only 30 people after the event What impressed Stacy most was how smoothly everything ran: "By the time I made it to the actual bundle live for that week, I felt kind of like I was missing something because everything was running on autopilot and I didn't have to do anything." Why Bundles Help Grow Your Email List Without Social Media Faster Bundle events create a win-win situation for everyone involved: Warm leads: Unlike paid ads that bring in cold traffic, bundles connect you with audiences who already trust the contributorsCollaborative growth: "Everybody's kind of working together. I'm sharing my email list with you. You're sharing your email list with me."Faster results: Stacy achieved in 30 days what might have taken years through organic social media growth Is This Approach Right for You? If you're wondering whether you could implement this strategy, Stacy addresses common concerns: "I'm not tech-savvy" "I am probably the least techie person known to man. I somehow shut my keyboard off on my computer earlier today. I couldn't figure out how to turn it back on... The way that the course is outlined with the modules... they were easy to digest... I just did exactly as [instructed]. I didn't try to deviate, I didn't try to do anything, and it went really well." "I don't have time" "I work outside of the house for 12-hour days a couple of days a week. And then I come home on the other days and I'm homeschooling my kids and running them to things. Oh, yeah. And I also have a husband and a house and all that kind of stuff. So if I can do this in early morning hours, like I think I did maybe like two mornings a week, a couple hours here and there, and then just kind of going in and out when I had to... it's definitely 100 percent doable."

    Kingdom Revolution Podcast: From Time Management to Time Stewardship with Lissa Figgins Episode Overview In this episode of Kingdom Revolution, host Kristin welcomes Lissa Figgins, an "untime management strategist" who shares her transformative approach to time for Christian women entrepreneurs. Lissa reveals how shifting from managing time to stewarding it as a gift from God can lead to greater peace, productivity, and purpose in both life and business. About Our Guest Lissa Figgins describes herself as a "recovering busyness owner" who once relied on traditional time management techniques to run her business. After receiving a stress-related health diagnosis (hystericus globus), she began a journey to discover God's perspective on time, which completely transformed how she approaches her business and helps other Christian women entrepreneurs. Key Takeaways The Problem with Traditional Time Management Time management often leads to "busyness" rather than productivity Many business owners feel busy but don't see meaningful results Constantly chasing calendars, checklists, and time blocks creates stress The Biblical Concept of "Redeeming Time" Based on Ephesians 5:15-16: "Look carefully how you live, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time..." Not about squeezing more into your day, but making the most of opportunities Having an eternal perspective on how you spend your time Three Essential Shifts for Christian Women Entrepreneurs 1. Shift Your Belief About Time Replace "I don't have time" with "I have time" Trust that God has given you enough time for what He's called you to do Stop the self-fulfilling prophecy of time scarcity 2. Shift Your Role: From Manager to Steward Management = control and containment (exhausting "whack-a-mole") Stewardship = investing resources on behalf of the owner (God) Like the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) 3. Shift Your Questions About Time Instead of always asking "What time is it?" (which leads to panic) Start asking "What is it time for?" (which leads to purpose) Focus on "purposeivity" rather than productivity The With-God Framework Stop leaving God "on the couch" after morning devotions Based on Matthew 6:33: "Seek first the kingdom of God..." Regular meetings with God about your business decisions Four Mistakes "Busyness Owners" Make Not slowing down (constantly doing, doing, doing) Lacking clear boundaries (reacting to the "tyranny of the urgent") Random actions (doing random things at random times for random results) Being too heads-down (not looking ahead strategically) Return on Time Invested (ROTI) Evaluating where your time goes and what results it produces Just as important as evaluating financial investments The ultimate ROTI is kingdom impact The CEO Approach (Christ-Empowered Operator) CEO Belief: Starting with daily meeting with God CEO Schedules: Setting boundaries around priorities (oranges before Skittles) CEO Systems: Creating intentional systems that move the needle CEO Strategies: Looking ahead with vision Success Story Lissa shared the story of her client Christy, who reduced her business hours from 50 per week to less than 10 while increasing her income, all by implementing these principles of biblical time stewardship.
