Want God to bless your business?
There’s a biblical pattern — and it has nothing to do with working more hours or chasing the next strategy. God blesses alignment, and to prove the point, Ric will uncover the pattern that positions your business for God’s blessing.
What You’ll Learn:
• Why “God as co-pilot” is the wrong model — and what partnering with God actually means
• How to distinguish a Holy Spirit nudge from your own ideas
• The test every Christian entrepreneur faces (and how Philip failed it)
• What to do when the numbers don’t move, and the resources aren’t there
The above video outlines a three-pillar biblical pattern for Christian entrepreneurs to align their businesses with God’s purpose, based on the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in John 6. The host emphasizes moving away from the “God as co-pilot” mindset and instead embracing true partnership with God.
The Three-Pillar Pattern
- The Nudge: This is the leading of the Holy Spirit. Business owners are encouraged to be sensitive to the ideas and directions God provides for their company, products, or markets.
- The Test: God often places business owners in situations that exceed their own resources or capabilities—much like when Philip was asked how to feed the crowd. The “test” is whether you focus on the problem (lack of resources) or on God’s ability to provide.
- The Step: This is the act of faith. Even without knowing the full outcome, the disciples had to organize the crowd in preparation. Similarly, entrepreneurs are called to take the specific, faithful steps God puts before them despite not having all the answers.
Key Takeaway: Ric Bender encourages viewers to identify which of these three pillars is their weakest point and to begin their growth process from there. The final two pillars of this five-pillar model are expected to be covered in a future episode.
