What if everything you've built is on the wrong scoreboard?

Most Christian entrepreneurs are incredibly good at putting Bible verses on their Instagram and then running their businesses by the world's playbook. We quote Jeremiah 29:11, claim God is our CEO, and then make decisions driven by fear, comparison, and the hunger for the next level. Today, we're stopping that cycle.

In this episode, we're challenging everything the entrepreneurial world tells you success looks like — and replacing those metrics with God's. We break down the difference between the world's scoreboard and God's scoreboard, what it actually means to hear "well done, good and faithful servant," and why your business might be one of the most powerful pulpits you'll ever stand behind.

We also get practical. We talk about what it looks like to build with integrity when no one is watching, how to treat the people in your business ecosystem as image-bearers of God, and why the greatest obstacle to the Gospel today isn't atheism or culture — it's the lukewarm Christian.

If you've ever felt the tension between your faith and your ambition, between God's way and the world's way, this episode was made for you. It's going to be uncomfortable. It's going to be convicting. And by the end, our prayer is that you walk away with a completely different scoreboard.

Are you building FOR God or WITH God? In this powerful message, Cody Cottle reveals the critical difference between religious hustle and Kingdom business—and why it changes everything.

Most Christian entrepreneurs ask God to bless their business plan, but never ask God if that's the business He wanted them to build in the first place. They pray before the meeting but don't invite God into the meeting. They want God to fund their vision but never ask what His vision is.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why favor flows from foundation, not performance
• The truth about abundance (it's not greed, it's generosity)
• How obedience unlocks supernatural favor in your business
• Why praying for "just enough" is actually one of the most selfish prayers you can pray
• How to break free from scarcity and step into the abundance God designed for you

This isn't about working harder. It's about building differently. When you build your business on a Kingdom foundation and partner with God in the process, you should be expectant for favor to follow.

Stop building what impresses people. Start building what God assigned you to build.

It's time to unlock the favor and abundance that comes from doing business God's way.

What if everything you've been chasing is already yours?

In this powerful teaching, Cody unpacks THE Blessing of God—not the blessings we receive, but the singular, foundational blessing that shapes our identity and transforms how we approach life and business.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why the blessing is about positioning, not possession—and how this changes everything about how you build
• The divine sequence of Be, Do, Have—and why getting this order right unlocks fruitfulness in every area of life
• How Joseph prospered as both a slave and a prisoner, and what that reveals about covenant versus circumstances
• The critical difference between sons who build from blessing and orphans who build toward validation
• Why pruning isn't punishment—and how to recognize God's blessing even in hidden seasons
• How to partner with God's blessing instead of striving in your own strength

This isn't just theology—it's a framework for entrepreneurs, leaders, and believers who are tired of the hustle and ready to build from a place of identity and rest.

Key Scripture: Genesis 1:28, Genesis 39:2-3, John 15:1-2, Matthew 7:16-17

Once you see this truth, it's hard to unsee it. Stop chasing what's already yours. Start living from the blessing.

BE STILL: The Lost Art of Abiding with God

As Christian entrepreneurs, we've turned ourselves into human doings instead of human beings. We're addicted to our devices, measuring our worth by our productivity, and drowning out God's voice with constant noise. But what if the secret to sustainable success isn't found in doing more—it's found in being still?

In this episode, we challenge the culture of busyness and rediscover what it means to truly abide with God. You'll learn why our devices are training our flesh to resist stillness, how to shift from performance-based religion to genuine relationship with God, where real wisdom is found in the quiet, and why rest is actually an act of trust, not weakness.

If you've ever felt like your phone gets more of your attention than God does, or if you're constantly hustling but feeling spiritually dry, this message is for you. It's time to stop striving and start abiding.

Key Scripture: "Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10

Episode Description

What you seek first determines everything else in your life and business. In this powerful 25-minute teaching, we unpack Matthew 6:33—God's blueprint for kingdom entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that honor Him and experience His supernatural provision.

If you've ever felt the weight of making it all happen on your own, constantly worried about provision, or wondered how to truly put God first in your business, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn

• The true meaning of "seek first" and why it's not passive—it's an aggressive, intentional pursuit that changes everything
• Why order matters in your daily routine and business decisions (hint: what you check first reveals what you seek first)
• The difference between hustling in your own strength vs. working with God's blessing—and why one burns you out while the other builds you up
• What "the kingdom of God" actually means for entrepreneurs and how to operate by kingdom principles in your business
• The principle of addition—how God supernaturally multiplies your efforts when you put Him first
• Practical steps to establish a "seek first" morning routine that sets you up for success

Key Takeaways

• Your relationship with God isn't the decoration on your life—it's the foundation
• When you seek God first, He takes responsibility for adding what you need
• You can build a million-dollar business and still miss the kingdom, but when you build a kingdom business, God entrusts you with millions
• Your job is to seek. God's job is to add. You're not responsible for making it all happen—you're responsible for showing up and being obedient

Scripture Focus

"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." — Matthew 6:33

Apply This Week

1. Audit your "first" - What do you actually seek first every day? Be honest.
2. Establish a "seek first" routine - Commit to 15-30 minutes of prayer and Bible reading before checking your phone
3. Apply kingdom principles - When facing decisions, ask: "What would honor God in this situation?"
4. Trust God with the adding - Surrender one area where you've been striving and stressing

Discussion Questions

• What do you currently "seek first" in your daily routine?
• What's one practical change you can make this week to seek God first?
• Where have you been striving instead of trusting God to "add"?
• How can we hold each other accountable to keep God first in our businesses?

Perfect for: Christian entrepreneurs, business owners, faith-driven leaders, and anyone looking to align their w

The 3 D's of Satan: How the Enemy Attacks Christian Entrepreneurs

(+ Why We Celebrate Christmas intro to honor the birth of Jesus Christ)

In this special Christmas-time episode, we're diving into the three primary tactics Satan uses to stop you from fulfilling your God-given assignment: Distraction, Deception, and Division.

Before we jump into spiritual warfare, we take a moment to remember the true meaning of Christmas. In a culture obsessed with gifts, parties, and holiday stress, we're celebrating something far greater—the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas marks the beginning of the greatest rescue mission in history, and as Christian entrepreneurs, everything we build flows from that truth.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ How distraction pulls you away from your assignment (even through good opportunities) ✅ How deception twists truth to make you sabotage yourself ✅ How division isolates you and blocks God's blessing ✅ The biblical solutions: FOCUS, TRUTH, and UNITY

Satan's tactics haven't changed since Genesis. But neither has God's plan for your victory. If you're an entrepreneur who wants to recognize the enemy's schemes and walk in a breakthrough, this episode is for you.

Key Scriptures: Nehemiah 6:2-3, Genesis 3:1-5, John 8:31-32, Psalm 133:1-3, James 4:7

🎧 Perfect for Christian business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs heading into the new year.

In today’s episode, I share a timely message God put on my heart for December: the power of finishing strong.

Most people slow down this month—coast into the holidays, delay action, and wait for January to get serious again. But Scripture gives us a different blueprint. In 2 Corinthians 8:10–11, Paul challenges believers to finish what they started… not next year, not someday, but now.

In this episode, we dig into what it really means to finish the assignments God gave you in 2025, why the end of a thing matters more than its beginning, and how your December determines your momentum going into 2026.

You’ll learn:
• Why God honors finishers
• How “weights” (not just sin) slow your momentum
• The difference between desire and focus
• Why endurance is the true mark of faithfulness
• How to strengthen what remains instead of starting something new
• How finishing becomes an act of obedience and worship

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a builder, or a believer wanting to steward what God placed in your hands, this episode will challenge and inspire you to close the year with intention, clarity, and faith.

Finish strong. Start strong. And step into 2026 with momentum.

In this episode, we’re leaning into something simple, powerful, and deeply transformative: Gratitude.

Not the once-a-year sentiment that shows up around Thanksgiving…
but the kind of daily, supernatural gratitude that shapes your heart, anchors your mind, and realigns your spirit as a Christian entrepreneur.

Gratitude is one of the greatest weapons God gives us against greed, anxiety, scarcity, and overwhelm. While greed says, “I never have enough,” gratitude declares, “God has given me more than enough.” The moment we shift into gratitude, we strip the enemy of power and step back into peace.

In this episode, we walk through four life-shifting truths:

1. Gratitude Is God’s Will — Not a Suggestion

1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to “give thanks in everything.” Not when it’s easy. Not when the numbers look good. In everything. Gratitude grounds us and reminds our soul: “God is here. God is working.”

2. Gratitude Breaks Anxiety & Scarcity

Philippians 4 teaches that thanksgiving is what breaks anxiety’s grip. Scarcity whispers, “You need more.” Gratitude speaks back, “God has already provided — and He will again.” We reflect on how remembering God’s provision reshapes our mindset as business owners.

3. Gratitude in Trials Produces Maturity

James 1 calls us to “count it all joy” because God uses every trial to grow us. Gratitude doesn’t deny difficulty — it reframes it. It becomes a shield against pressure, stress, and spiritual attack, grounding us in peace and contentment.

4. Gratitude for Our Families

Your family is your first blessing, first ministry, and first responsibility. Success is empty if the people closest to you feel unseen. I share a heartfelt reminder to slow down this season, honor the people God placed in your life, and express gratitude intentionally.

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, reflect, and step into Thanksgiving with a renewed heart — full of gratitude, honor, love, and presence.

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur who wants to stay grounded in God’s goodness while growing in business and life, this message will speak deeply to you.
