đŸŒ± Planted to Prosper: You Can't Pour From An Empty Cup

‱ Cody Cottle

As Kingdom entrepreneurs, we’re constantly pouring into others—our clients, teams, families, and communities. But when we neglect being poured into ourselves, we risk burnout, overwhelm, and spiritual emptiness.

In this powerful Bible study episode, Cody Cottle shares a timely word on the importance of being planted in the right soil, surrounded by the right people, and filled with the right things so that we can thrive in every area of life and business—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and financially.

You’ll discover:

  • Why God’s design for mentorship includes having a Barnabas, a Timothy and a Silas—and why many neglect the Silas.
  • How the soil you plant yourself in determines the fruit you produce.
  • Why so many entrepreneurs are running on empty—and how to be the exception.
  • The connection between abiding in Christ and seeing sustainable fruit in your business.
  • How the 5 F’s (Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, and Fellowship) are rooted in your spiritual health.

📖 With key scriptures from Matthew 13, Proverbs 13, Luke 6, John 15, and more—you’ll walk away with both encouragement and a challenge to assess:
 đŸ‘‰ What’s pouring into me right now?
👉 Am I planted in an environment that truly nourishes me?

If you’ve been grinding but not growing—this is your invitation to slow down, get rooted, and receive.
