19 | How to Build a God-Centered Business (Not Just a Faith-Branded One)
Sustainable Foundations | Equipping Christian Women for Faith-Based Business Growth and Sustainable Scaling
You’ve seen the posts: “God is my CEO.” “Built on faith.” Bible verses in bios. Worship music playing in the background of reels. And listen — it’s beautiful that more business owners are talking about their faith. But if we’re being real? That surface-level faith isn’t always what’s shaping our strategy. A lot of us say we want God at the center… But we’re still checking Stripe more than we’re seeking Him. We’re quoting Scripture while quietly panicking about engagement. We’re building from pressure — and calling it obedience. In this...

Maybe you’re juggling a growing business and family, feeling like you should be able to ask for help but struggling to actually let go of control. Maybe you’ve tried delegation before, but it just didn’t stick.
The truth is, most people aren’t really delegating. They’re just assigning tasks—and then micromanaging, correcting, or taking them back when things don’t go perfectly.
So how do you delegate with confidence—and make sure the tasks actually get done without bouncing back to you?
That’s exactly what we’re diving into today.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✨ Why delegation feels so hard—and how to shift your mindset so it finally works.
✨ The 4 Levels of Delegation (because not all delegation is created equal).
✨ How to move from simply assigning tasks to true ownership—so you don’t have to oversee every little detail.
✨ Why systems (like Standard Operating Procedures) are the secret to delegation that sticks.
If you’re ready to stop doing everything yourself and create a home and business that runs smoothly—even when you’re not personally handling every single thing—this episode is for you.
