104 | Praying is Not a Marketing Strategy (But Here’s What Is)
Show notes
Key Takeaways:
1. Prayer Is Foundation, Not Substitution
Prayer connects you to God, but it doesn’t replace action.
James 2:17 — “Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
Business requires you to move your feet while God directs your steps.
2. Why “I’m Just Waiting on God” Is Actually Fear in Disguise
Many Christian entrepreneurs use “waiting on the Lord” as spiritual-sounding procrastination.
Fear of rejection, failure, or being seen often hides behind holy language.
The truth: God already gave you permission to move. You don’t need another “sign.”
3. What to Do Instead: Prayer + Practical Marketing
Pray for wisdom, clarity, and courage — then act.
Marketing is simply making it easy for people to find the solution God gave you to offer.
Basics every Christian entrepreneur needs:
A clear message about who you serve
An offer that solves a problem
Consistent visibility (email, social, podcast, etc.)
A way for people to buy/work with you
4. The Biblical Balance: Dependence + Diligence
Proverbs 16:3 — “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
Notice it doesn’t say commit your intentions or dreams — but your work.
God’s favor flows through your faith-filled actions.
Let’s Take Action:
Audit Your Prayers vs. Your Actions
Look at your journal or prayer list. How many things are you asking God to do… that He already asked you to do?
