Eps. 001 - The World Has it Wrong

The World’s Way versus the Kingdom Way, and how this should change your life and your views on success

But first, I’m sharing my story on how Spirit Driven Success was founded and when God put it on my heart through a mentor’s advice, to incorporate my faith into my business. This is when I began to make my business my ministry and began teaching Kingdom business strategies on what the bible has to say about success.

For this 1st podcast, we are setting the foundation of what success looks like in the world’s eyes versus what it should be for you as a Believer. 

The World vs. Kingdom….

One thing that the world does is choose to pursue careers and opportunities that make money versus going after their God-calling. The world’s entire value system is surrounded around money, that’s their focus, that’s the end game. 

Matthew 16:26 says, “What is it to gain the whole world, but to lose your soul?” What is it to grow financially when spiritually you’re dry and dead and separated from God and all you’re doing is chasing money? It’s a trap and we become enslaved to the money game rather than empowered to go after purpose.

From a Kingdom viewpoint, money is a byproduct. We’re focused on using our gifts, helping people, making an impact, and doing meaningful work that the Lord has told us to create, and out of that, God is providing for us.

The world wants knowledge but without the relationship with God. As Believers, we are seeking wisdom, vision, and supernatural opportunities from God. It’s not just trying to find a secret formula -- but it’s God’s process for us. 

The Kingdom way is continually seeking God on the relationship and the direction and path you should be taking and the world is missing the wisdom and relationship with God entirely.

The world finds their identity and hope in being significant. We find our identity and hope in God.

As Believers, we don’t have to put our hope in that. We have the freedom in Christ to feel significance and purpose right now.

Through viewing money and success in the Kingdom Way, we can release the expectation of the world because we have our identity in and our intimacy with God. Ask yourself, where is my heart at -- because that is where your treasure will be. Where are my motives? 

As you begin to see money as a tool and a resource and just a byproduct, then you will see that God will provide for all of your needs and that if he’s given you a vision, he’s going to provide the funds.
