🎙️ SHOW NOTES — Episode
Faith-Led Decision Making: How Christian CEOs Hear God in Business
Podcast: CEO — Business, Faith, and Strategy God’s Way
Host: Beverly Parraz
Audience: Kingdom Builders, Faith-Driven CEOs, Christian Entrepreneurs
✨ Episode Summary
Faith in business sounds inspiring — until you’re the one trying to live it. In this episode, Beverly gets real about the tension Christian women face when trusting God collides with running a business in the real world. Through Hebrews 11, she unpacks the five struggles women talk about most: fear of missing God’s will, guilt around charging, confusion about faith vs. strategy, the loneliness of faith‑based leadership, and the pressure to look “strong” while feeling overwhelmed.
You’ll learn why these identity‑level tensions show up, how childhood beliefs shape your leadership, and what it looks like to shift from performing for God to partnering with Him. A grounding, honest episode for any woman trying to honor God while building something meaningful
🧭 Coaching Session: Reflection Questions
These questions flow straight from the identity-level tensions and faith themes you unpacked in the episode.
- Where am I choosing perfection over obedience?
- What decision am I avoiding because of fear, not wisdom?
- Where am I carrying pressure God never asked me to carry?
- What would shift if I believed God was partnering with me, not evaluating me?
- Where have I been comparing myself instead of trusting my assignment?
🛠️ Practical Application for the Week
A simple, faith-led rhythm your listeners can implement immediately.
- Do a Leadership Alignment Check: Ask the Holy Spirit what He’s highlighting and what one step He wants you to take.
- Name One Area of Over‑Functioning: Replace performance with partnership.
- Take One Obedient Step: Not the whole plan—just the next step.
- Pray James 1:5 Daily: Ask God for wisdom generously and without shame.
- Tell the Truth About Your Capacity: Share honestly with one trusted person.
