The Estherpreneur

In this thought-provoking episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we confront a bold question: What if the most powerful business strategy isn’t in a TED Talk, a $25K mastermind, or a viral launch—but hidden in plain sight within the Lord’s Prayer?

We revisit this foundational prayer not as a ritual, but as a divine blueprint for CEOs, founders, and faith-based business owners. From confronting the “panicked intern” prayer mindset to embracing a kingdom-first strategy, this episode will challenge how you lead, brand, build, and believe.

Whether you're wrestling with uncertainty, craving clarity, or struggling to align your faith with your business model—this is your call to come back to the basics with childlike faith and unshakable authority!

Every line of the Lord’s Prayer holds a key. Let’s unlock it together!

Edna Harding [00:00:03]:
Welcome to Estrepreneur, a podcast for entrepreneurs and leaders doing business and life God's way. Each week we discuss biblical and practical tips to improve your mind, business, spirit, relationships, and finances. Listen along as I speak with special guests on how to thrive in all aspects of life. Hi, I'm Edna. Like many of you, I wear many hats. I'm a military wife, mother, author, certified John Maxwell business and executive coach, trainer, and founder of Favor and wealth, where we help the good guys win. So tune in as we bring on the light. Well, hello everyone.

Edna Harding [00:00:48]:
Thank you for tuning in for another episode of the Estrepreneur podcast. My name is Edna Harding, and I'm so glad you are back. Back with me. If you're a returning listener as well as a new person, just happen to find this podcast because the Holy Spirit led you to this. And so, first of all, I just want to say welcome, welcome, welcome. I hope you guys have had a fabulous week and that your spirits are in peace and joy and in just great expectation. Now, if you're in the opposite, it's okay. We all have our wilderness seasons, and I hope that you are encouraged just by knowing that, that we all have ups and downs.

Edna Harding [00:01:40]:
The scripture says that. It talks about there's a season for everything. So if you are in a baca season right now, be encouraged that this to shall pass. I don't know who this word is for because definitely this is not what I wanted to talk about today. But I guess the Holy Spirit wanted to interrupt this episode to let you know, my friend, that it's not over and that the best chapters are ahead of you. So just be still and believe God that you are in the palm of his mighty hand. All right? Okay, so let's go ahead and get started here, my friends. In today's episode, we are going to talk about the Lord's Prayer.

Edna Harding [00:02:24]:
Now, don't shut me out, because I know a lot of you guys are like, oh, the Lord's Prayer. I heard about the Lord's Prayer already. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, my friends, please don't shut me out, because this is the most powerful prayer you could ever think of, especially if you don't know what to pray for, right? And so I know some of you guys who are. Have been believers for a long time are like, oh, this is boring. I'm going to move on to the next episode. Let me tell you, my friends, do, do not, I repeat, do not skip this episode. You know, there's something about pride.

Edna Harding [00:02:58]:
Thank you, Holy Spirit. There's something about pride. If you do not have faith like a child, you cannot enter the kingdom. So, and, and I'm speaking to myself because there are times when the Lord will get will. Let me go back to the basics. Let me go back to the foundation of my faith. You know, when I was seven years old, when I was five years old, he would remind me things that I've learned at such a young age. And I'm like, well, I'm too mature for this.

Edna Harding [00:03:23]:
I, I, I know better than this. I'm like, this is, this is too small for me. And that's when the Holy Spirit will convict me and be like, no, my child, that's the reason why you're in the predicament right now is because you do not know how to go back to the basics. You want the next, the, the, the next big thing, next big revelation in reality, if we just get down to the foundation of it all, we can overcome so many things in amount of time. So I hope this is enticing you, I hope this is encouraging, my friends, and let's go ahead and dig in. So today I have a question for you and that is what if the most powerful business strategy on the planet is not a TED Talk, it's not a $25,000 mastermind, but it's actually in the Lord's Prayer, you know. Yep. That prayer, that little 66 word prayer we recite or without even thinking, in fact, my 4 year old and my 5 year old now, and they started when they were 3 years old and, and, and 4 years old, they would recite these verses or this prayer with us since, since we started going to school at 3.

Edna Harding [00:04:38]:
So they know it like at the back of their hand. But why is that so powerful? Okay, my friends, it is not just a spiritual ritual. You know, a lot of times we think it's just a prayer that we say, you know, at church, you know, just, just so we, we could pray. But from, from a CEO level, especially if you're an owner of your business, it's definitely a blueprint for supernatural business strategy. And, and this blueprint will flip your ideas about scaling, about success and even lasting impact. Because if you're building a business that's out of alignment with his will, and let's say you're operating from a position of an example, you're chasing profit over the purpose of your business. This right here, my friend, is going to just challenge you a little bit. Okay, so let's go ahead and start with the first point that I want to make is that a lot of us pray like panicked interns.

Edna Harding [00:05:45]:
Panicked interns, not CEOs with the favor of God. Can you guys really. Can you guys really think about this for a second? How many of us had prayed or asked the Lord? Lord, help this launch go viral. Help this video go viral. Father, send me some paying clients. Like, like right now. I. I need some high ticket clients or, or, Lord, I need some.

Edna Harding [00:06:10]:
I need some cash flow. I need some, some, some. Some cash that I can use to. To build my business, to grow my business, to fix my business. Does these prayers sound familiar? Did you just pray this last week or yesterday or even this morning? Remember, guys, Jesus didn't say, pray harder. Pray harder. Pray harder, my children. Pray harder.

Edna Harding [00:06:38]:
No, he never ever said that. He never said pray harder. He just gave us a structure, right? He gave us a pattern. He gave us a divine operating system. You see, my friends, the Lord's prayer is not a wish list, okay? A lot of times people think it's a wish list. This is just, you know what we say for the sake of saying. It's actually a strategy manual disguised as devotion. Okay? And believe it or not, this simple prayer again, the 66 prayer, will dismantle a lot of the culture as far as hustle culture we see in business.

Edna Harding [00:07:15]:
It will dismantle scarcity thinking. It will dismantle addiction. It would dismantle ego driven branding. Okay? We need to stop praying from a position of fear and start leading from a position of position. Yep, I just said that. Okay, Stop praying from a position of fear, but start leading from a position of a position. Okay? So I want you guys to first look at the first two words in the. In the Lord's prayer, it says our Father.

Edna Harding [00:07:50]:
Our Father. Our Father. Oh, come on, Jesus. Our Father. I want you to hear that. Our Father. Our Father. Our Father.

Edna Harding [00:08:01]:
Okay, first of all, I want you to think like this. You are not a solo founder. Contradictory to what a lot of people say in the business arena. We say you're a solopreneur. You're entrepreneur. You're this. You are not a solo founder, my friends. This is the why I say for me that I'm a managing partner.

Edna Harding [00:08:21]:
I'm not just. Even though I'm the owner and the founder, I don't ever call myself that. I call myself the managing partner. I am partnering with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit. Yeah, I stopped there for a reason. This isn't my business. This is a family business. Oh, come on.

Edna Harding [00:08:44]:
Hear me, my friends. Okay. Our Father. Okay. Our Father, Our Father, hear me. Your business is a family business. You're not a solo trying to build an empire. You're the daughter of the CEO of the universe.

Edna Harding [00:09:02]:
So let me ask you, why are you operating like an orphan in survival mode? R means you're not voting alone, Father. Means your identity is settled before your strategy even starts. Oh, come on, Jesus. Stop trying to prove your worth in the marketplace. Start operating from the fact that you have inherited authority over the business that God steward, that God has given you. So you need to steward it. Well, does that make sense? So I want you to really think about that particular statement, okay? What I just said, this is going to be a game changer. Because a lot of times, you know what I find with a lot of my clients, especially those who are struggling, especially those who are starting out, they tend to basically mix their identity with their business.

Edna Harding [00:09:57]:
So, for example, the success of the business or the failure of the business means that they're successful or they. They're a failure. When in reality, your business and your identity is completely separate. In fact, your identity is rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the business is kind of like a chair. You know, your business is kind of like a microphone. Your business is just a thing. It's not even tied to who you are. Your business is separate from your identity.

Edna Harding [00:10:31]:
I learned this lesson many years ago when I started from scratch. And I was so distraught by the losses and the failures of the thing because I got scammed so bad by commercial real estate. And I started thinking that I failed, that I screwed up, and that I'm nothing because I lost everything. When in reality, the Holy Spirit told me, you are not. That that was a fruit that came from your tree. So don't be thinking that your business is you, you're the tree. And in reality, the business is the fruit that came from your tree. Okay, yes, I'm taking it up a notch this episode because the Holy Spirit told me it's still time to stop watering down what he has been showing me.

Edna Harding [00:11:19]:
You know, if you guys have been blessed about that, if you guys have been blessed by the Esther Printer podcast all these years I started in 2020, I just want you to say that I'm just scratching the surface. There is so much deeper layers to the kingdom of God. And I promise you, I'm no one special. I'm nothing just. But a child of God who comes to the Father every morning, early in the morning, to ask the Lord to share with me his secrets, to share with me his. His covenant, to share with me his character, to share with me his ways. And all I'm doing is sharing them with you. But guess what, my friends? You don't have to go through me.

Edna Harding [00:11:57]:
You can go through the Father himself. The Father is after your heart. The Father is after your desire. The Father is after your intimacy. If you just put him first and, and just basically surrender everything else that the world offers and just come to him and ask him to reveal to you the secrets of the kingdom, you'll. These nuggets of wisdom, like I am. Okay, so this is my job not to. To impress you.

Edna Harding [00:12:24]:
My job is to impress upon you that this too is your portion. Like you could get nuggets of wisdom from simple things in the word of God that can apply to your business. All right. Okay, so let's go to the next part of the, of the, of the prayer. It says, hallowed be your name, which means your reputation is not what you're building. It's actually the reputation of the Father of Jesus. Okay? Now this one right here convicts me every time because let's be honest, we all love our name in lights, right? But Jesus, what he did was hallowed be your name, friend. I want you to hear me.

Edna Harding [00:13:07]:
What if every post, every product, every pitch, every was meant to make God famous and not you? What if everything you do was meant to make Jesus a household name and not your name, not Edna Harding? This was something that was brought upon my spirit a long, long time ago. And you know how it's so funny because a lot of times people are trying to build their personal brand. They try to build, you know, you know, like, I want to be an influencer. I want. And which is fine. Of course, we. It's good. God wants us to shine our light.

Edna Harding [00:13:51]:
But I truly believe that that's just like an after effect. I, I look at it as if. And it's not about, like, false humility either. It truly is like Edna Harding isn't going to change your life. Does that make sense? I can't do that. I'm nothing but a human being. The only person that can change your life is the Lord Jesus Christ. I can't wave the magic wand right and fix everything for you.

Edna Harding [00:14:23]:
In fact, I've tried to do that for my clients, and I've realized that is like a losing battle because I'm a limited human being. There's only so much resources that I have. As much as I want to pay off everybody's debt, as much as I want to, you know, provide for everyone's resources, and, and I cannot be that. I am not God. I am nothing but a daughter of God who believes in God, who believes God and who wants to be used by God. But at the end of the day, I am not God. So let me ask you this. Okay, stop.

Edna Harding [00:14:57]:
Or let me ask you this, not ask you, but what am I saying? Lord, let me remind you this. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Your job isn't to make your company a household name or your, your name a household name. Your job as a kingdom minded entrepreneur is to make the Lord Jesus a household name and a kingdom of God a household name. When your brand, hear me, becomes the mirror that reflects heaven. Which is what it's all about. Jesus. It's all about the Father, about all the.

Edna Harding [00:15:31]:
What's the Holy Spirit. It's about the truth, right? It's about hope, it's about mercy, it's about the fruits of the Spirit. People will trust you more. People will trust you more. And that to me is the biggest flex, right? Because yes, I could. You know, it's so funny, I had this conversation many, many times with clients and a lot of times they don't even really know, like all of my credentials. They don't know a lot of the things I've accomplished. And I've accomplished a lot, you know, and I never, I don't even put it all on my website.

Edna Harding [00:16:03]:
I don't put it on my LinkedIn, I don't put it. And I know that's what's gonna, that is what is going to sell people because people wants to see proof. But one thing, the Holy Spirit showed me a long, long time ago that he wants people to be led by the spirit of God, not flesh. And so people are shocked and people are surprised. Like when they finally hire me and they finally, you know, I've do a lot of things or solve a lot of issues for them. They're like, I didn't even know you did that. I didn't even know you could do that. I didn't even know you, you know, and it's because why? Because I never talk to their flesh.

Edna Harding [00:16:38]:
Hear me, I talk to their spirit. I talk to their inner man. I talk to the spirit of God inside of them because I want them to be led by the spirit of God. I don't want them to choose me because they see all the flashy things, but I want them to choose me because they heard from the Holy Spirit that I am the answer they've been praying for. Does that make sense? All right, so the fourth part of the prayer says, your kingdom come. Your kingdom come. You don't need to build your empire. You just need to expand his kingdom agenda.

Edna Harding [00:17:21]:
Your kingdom means your kingdom come means your business is a vehicle for impact, not just income. Your kingdom come means your influence should change atmospheres, not just algorithms. Your kingdom come means your success should stir up revival, not just revenue. Oh, come on, my friends. Your success should stir up revival. What is revival? It's what was dead has come to life because of the spirit of God inside of you. Let me ask you, my friends, when people interact with you, do they feel revived? Do they feel restored? Do they feel rejuvenated? Or does speaking with you make them more discouraged? Speaking with you make them feel more inferior, make them doubt more, make them fearful more? I can tell you, and this is not to toot my own horn, but to see what a surrendered life can look like. Every single person and mind you.

Edna Harding [00:18:34]:
Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, if you're listening to this, feel free to comment on LinkedIn or feel free to send me a message that it's not true. But regardless of whether or not you choose me as your coach, as your consultant, you still feel revived, you still feel redeemed, you still feel the tangible love of God. Because I realize that whether you choose me or not, I don't care. I know it sounds like very egotistical or maybe prideful, but I don't care because this is not about me. I'm not in this business. For me and my family, yes, I would love to have nice things. Yes, I love being debt free. Yes, I love having, you know, you know, be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Edna Harding [00:19:24]:
But at the end of day, this is about preparing for the harvest of souls. This is basically a mechanism, a vessel for me to reach the loss. Those who know God and those who don't know God. Those who don't know God, so that they can know who Jesus Christ is. And those who know God and have turned away have became lost sheep because of life circumstances. And the reason why I say this wholeheartedly is because I've been there, my friends. I know what it's like to feel like God has abandoned you. God has forgotten you.

Edna Harding [00:19:59]:
Like, it feels like you're. You're on your own, you're fighting for yourself, when in reality that's a lie of the enemy. The Lord has not abandoned you. He is in the fire with you. And he's going to make sure that the fire doesn't consume you. But all you have to do is know that he is there. He doesn't want us to do anything. Sometimes.

Edna Harding [00:20:21]:
In fact, there are times in my life, and I could count many instances where I didn't know how to pray. I didn't know how to worship. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I just sat there and just bawled my eyes out, just sobbing, you know, holding on to the Bible, many, many nights. Oh, my gosh, countless nights. So many different instances. And I don't have time to go over my testimonies.

Edna Harding [00:20:48]:
Yes, there's multiple testimonies. And those of you guys who've known me for a long time, you know that I'm not just saying this. I have gone through so many things that a lot of people my age being in my 40s, haven't gone through and understanding that in spite of it all, Jesus loves me. So why am I saying this? Your kingdom come, God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Not what we want to do with our business, but what God wants to do through your business. Okay, just think of it this way. You are an undercover missionary with a marketing plan. Come on, doesn't it sound beautiful? You're an undercover missionary with a marketing plan.

Edna Harding [00:21:47]:
So it's kind of like you're a secret agent of the Kingdom of God. Your business is just your front, but underneath your God. CIA, ready to convert, ready to rescue the lost. Because guess what, my friends, your next product launch, your next business idea, your next success story is actually a kingdom assignment. So I want you to ask this question and I want you to be realistic. Is this decision about expansion or is this about submission? All right, Is this blessing? You guys? All right, I gotta move faster because I'm. I feel like I've been on this for a while. All right, number five.

Edna Harding [00:22:29]:
Give us today. Give us today. God's economy is not scarcity based. Okay? I remember before I used to pray for monthly revenues or weekly revenue or even daily revenue goals like they were lottery tickets, right? So, for example, I would say stuff like, God, I need this much or I'm done or I'm screwed. Or God, if. If you need to show up with this and this and that, like basically listing it all out, because there's a lot of doctrine out there, you know, name it and claim it type of things. And yes, I believe that he wants us to be specific. But God is not a genie.

Edna Harding [00:23:06]:
I think I've said this before. He's not a genie. Okay? Give us today our daily bread Means God is not withholding. He's training you to trust. Okay, give us today our daily bread. What does that mean? Today's provision is enough. Whatever you have for today is enough. You don't need to see the whole staircase, right? You need to see the blessing that's right in front of you for today.

Edna Harding [00:23:35]:
Scarcity is not your portion ever. As a child of God, sufficiency is what the Lord showed me was during those seasons of lack. Oh, my gosh, so many seasons of lack. His sufficient, see, was his grace, right? His grace is sufficient for me. And so even though I was dying inside, like, how am I going to pay all this? You know, I learned to be, you know, faithful with little. I learned to be faithful with a lot. But I've really learned to treasure the blessings both big and small, because I realized that he didn't have to do this, but he did anyway. You know, some of you guys are sitting on provision.

Edna Harding [00:24:19]:
Okay? You're sitting on provision, but fear keeps you hoarding what you should be investing or releasing. Oh, come on. I'm speaking right now. If you are hoarding right now, if you're not being a blessing to people, if you're not investing in your business because you're afraid of lack, my friend, you are operating from an orphan spirit, not a spirit of sunshine. I want to challenge you today, this week, I want you to make one irrationally generous move, okay? Give to someone who can't repay you. Give to someone who can't pay you back, even in the midst of lack. I do this often. You know, this is the way I challenge my faith at times, especially when I'm, like, dealing with a lot of financial setbacks, especially when my family is.

Edna Harding [00:25:14]:
I. I'm. I give when I don't have. And I know it sounds crazy and it sounds dumb and it sounds like you're delusional, but that is me. Like, you know, have you heard that phrase clap back? Like, clapping? Is it slap back or clap back? I don't know what it's called, but when you hit the devil in the face, clap back. I think it's clap back. Like, oh, you're gonna do that? Well, this is what I'm gonna do. I do this quite often.

Edna Harding [00:25:41]:
It's been my secret weapon, actually, to bless people when I myself need a blessing, because I realize that my portion isn't what I see in front of me. My portion is in heavenly places. My portion is in a storehouse of Lord Jesus Christ. And at any point, he can fix. He can send provision however way he wants, but he is testing. Thank you, Holy Spirit. He is testing your heart. He is testing your character.

Edna Harding [00:26:07]:
Right? And when I say testing, not to tempt you, but he's. He's. He's. He's giving you these circumstances to show you how strong your faith really is, number one. And number two, how strong and faithful our Father is. All right, number six, let me continue on. I hope this is blessing, you guys. This is.

Edna Harding [00:26:30]:
This is really my heart and all. Like, do you see how just these few lines in the Lord's Prayer is already shifting our perspective when it comes to business? Right, number six, Forgive our debts. Bitterness blocks breakthrough. Let me say that one more time. Bitterness blocks breakthrough. Listen, my friends, the most dangerous thing in your business is not bad branding. It's not bad budgeting. It's actually bitterness.

Edna Harding [00:27:03]:
Unforgiveness in your heart will leak into your leadership, will leak into your copywriting. It will leak into your company culture, my friends. It's costing you right now. Jesus said, forgive as us, as we forgive, which means, hear me, my friends, this is a huge thing. This is what a lot of entrepreneurs, the reason why you're in lack could be. You have unforgiveness in your hearts. And let me just make this clear. Unforgiveness in your heart doesn't necessarily mean towards God, doesn't necessarily mean towards other people.

Edna Harding [00:27:37]:
It could actually means you have unforgiveness towards yourself. You can't carry offense and overflow. You can't steward clients with open wounds. Remember, my friends, that forgiveness is actually not soft. It's strategic. A lot of times people, you hear people like, you know, like, forgiveness. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Forgiveness isn't an easy thing, especially when they have burned you and hurt you and left you out to dry.

Edna Harding [00:28:11]:
I am talking to myself right now. I have so many heartbreaks, so many pain, so many things that I wish I didn't have gone through. And through it all, for some reason, by his grace, I am just able to just love on them, to pray for them and just, I don't know, like, I feel like, you know, what's that word where it's kind of like all the darts and the attacks of the enemy just like slipping off of my shoulders as, like, what I'm seeing is. I don't know how to call it, but it's like I'm like jelly or jello. Thank you, Jello. Like, everything is just flowing off of me because I've learned to love them like Christ loves them. So I want to ask you a question. And I want you to be real with the Lord.

Edna Harding [00:29:03]:
Who do you need to forgive? Because that very thing of unforgiveness, of bitterness is what's stopping you from your next promotion. And I say this with love. The Bible says that the truth will set you free. Are you bitter? Do you have unforgiveness? Do you have hatred towards somebody right now? Let it go. It's not worth it. It's not worth costing your destiny. All right, and the seventh portion of the program. Of the program story.

Edna Harding [00:29:36]:
I'm sorry, I'm. I'm looking at my board right now that says business unlimited program. And so I am. I think my brain just shifted. Let me pick it back. Okay. Lead us not into temptation. Here are my friends.

Edna Harding [00:29:51]:
Is the key you have to protect your soul from your own success. Ooh, that was hard. I think this is the hardest for many people I've worked with and even myself. We're praying for visibility. We're praying for visibility, you know, influence, you know, increase in perception, increase in brand. But what really God is doing is he's protecting our integrity. Okay? Temptation isn't just lust or money. It isn't.

Edna Harding [00:30:25]:
It's not just lust or money. Temptation means cutting corners for cash. Like, you're. Instead of doing, like, the full thing, you'll kind of, like, cut corners and you won't do the full quality thing. So you settle for less instead of, like, giving your best because you want to save money. Temptation is like faking results, pretending that you're doing something or you have done something just for credibility, but in reality, you have not done. And I've. I've been tempted to do this so many times, and there's a lot of times when I remember when I first started, I was like, you know, really? Just.

Edna Harding [00:31:06]:
And not even faking results, meaning, like, it's more like exaggerating. Like, you've done it before for one person, but then you're saying that you've done it for, like, 100 people. And I've never done that per se, but I have. I've said it as if, like, it's a guarantee, when in reality, what I found is, yes, there are those outliers that gets, like, the crazy results, but I can't make that happen for them. God can do it, and. But it does. It's. God isn't just going to do it for them.

Edna Harding [00:31:34]:
God needs you to participate and obey, and that's the part I can't control. Right. I can give them all the strategies in the world. And I know it works. But if their intimacy with God isn't strong, he's not going to give him a lot of cash when their character is not ready to receive. So it's like a partnership. Thank you, Holy Spirit. It's not just Edna coaching you.

Edna Harding [00:32:05]:
It. It's listening to the Holy Spirit, following instructions, and making sure that success doesn't become your idol. Because God's favor flows where your character can hold the weight. All right, and then the last part. Yours is the kingdom, okay? Yours is the kingdom. You're a steward, not the star. At the end of the prayer, Jesus reminds us that all of this, all of this, everything that you have is his. The kingdom, the power, the glory.

That S corp you're building, he owns it. That audience you're serving, he assigned it. That breakthrough you're waiting on, he authors it. All of it is his. And at any point, he has a right to take it all away from you. So, you know, it's so funny. A lot of times I was like, this mine. It's mine.

Edna Harding [00:33:06]:
You know, I'm reminded of children. That's my toy. That's my snack. That's my shirt. Okay? When in reality, it's not theirs. It's actually my husband and I because we're the one providing it for them. So let me ask you, why are you carrying everything like it all depends on you? Why do you have that mindset when in reality, you're his child and he's just giving it to you? And if he wants to take it away for a little bit because you're not playing nice, he can do it. This is the type of attitude we need to have.

Edna Harding [00:33:47]:
This mindset that I just showed you this past episode will free you from pressure, pressure that you were never meant to carry. So here's your challenge, my friends. Before you check emails or open a sauna, pray the Lord's Prayer. But I want you to pray it like a CEO, a leader, a daughter, a son, a kingdom disruptor. Ask yourself these questions. How does our father change my leadership today? How does hallowed be your name shape my branding? How does your kingdom come guide my next business move? How does give us today affect how I spend or save? How does forgive us heal a fractured partnership? Maybe. How does lead us not build a faster and safer business culture? And how does yours is the kingdom shift your end game? My friends, the Lord's Prayer isn't just holy, isn't just a bunch of words in the Bible to make you sound Christian. It's strategic.

Edna Harding [00:34:59]:
It's supernatural and it might just be the blueprint you've been begging God to send, right? So if this episode hit deep, please don't keep it to yourself. Share it with your team. Share it with your business bestie. Give. Send it to your coach. Send it to your people. You know, direct message me of your biggest aha in Instagram to leave a review. Remember, my friends, you're not building a business.

Edna Harding [00:35:26]:
