How to Build Your Business From Heaven A conversation with spiritual business coach Bralynn Newby on the Kingdom Business Revolution podcast Introduction What does it really mean to operate from heaven rather than for God in your business? In a recent episode of the Kingdom Business Revolution podcast, host Kristen sat down with Bralynn Newby, spiritual business coach and creator of Kings on Fire, to explore this transformative shift in how Christian entrepreneurs can build their businesses. Bralynn doesn't just talk about heaven—she helps entrepreneurs operate from it, activating their spiritual senses to hear from God clearly and partner with heaven to build businesses that shift culture. From Church Age to Kingdom Age One of the most profound distinctions Bralynn shares is the difference between operating in the "church age" versus the "kingdom age." Church Age Thinking: Praying up to heaven, asking "Oh Lord, bless my business." Kingdom Age Reality: Actually operating in the kingdom, understanding that "the kingdom of the Lord is within you" (as Jesus declared), and functioning from your seat in heavenly places. This shift isn't just theological—it's practical. As Bralynn explains, "When He's sitting on His throne, I need to be sitting on my throne. When He's commanding angel armies... I need to be commanding the armies that I have assigned to me." Activating Your Five Spiritual Senses Many believers don't realize they have spiritual senses that need to be activated. Bralynn breaks down the biblical foundation for each: 1. Hearing (Spiritual Ears) John 10 speaks about hearing and knowing your shepherd's voice. This isn't just about occasional divine whispers—it's about consistent communication with your heavenly CEO. 2. Seeing (Spiritual Eyes) John 5:19 reveals that Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing. If Jesus needed to see into the spiritual realm to know what to do, so do we. 3. Tasting (Spiritual Taste) Psalm 34:8 invites us to "taste and see that the Lord is good." This spiritual sense helps us discern and experience God's goodness in tangible ways. 4. Touching (Spiritual Touch) Matthew 10:7 describes heaven's Kingdom as "accessible, close enough to touch." We can reach into spiritual realities and bring them into the natural realm. 5. Knowing (Spiritual Perception) When Peter declared Jesus was the Son of God, Jesus said, "You didn't get that from man. You got that from the Lord." This divine knowing—an inner witness—is a critical spiritual sense. Your Imagination: The Interface With Heaven One of Bralynn s most fascinating revelations concerns the role of imagination in spiritual communication. When Paul writes in Ephesians about "the eyes of your heart being illuminated," he's referring to something profound. The word for imagination didn't exist in Greek at the time Paul was writing. The Hebrew concept of "hearts and minds" (yeser) carries the connotation of imagination. As Bralynn explains, "The screen of our imagination is something that God gave us to interface with Him and to really see what He's doing in heaven so that we know what to do on Earth." This isn't about making things up—it's about using the interface God designed for spiritual communication. Understanding Your Destiny Scroll Perhaps the most intriguing concept Bralynn introduces is the idea of destiny scrolls—what the Bible also refers to as "books" written about each person's life. What Is a Destiny Scroll? Psalm 139:16 declares: "I knew all of the days of your life were written in the scroll before you were born." Bralynn describes it in simple terms: "It's what's been written about your life... Heaven is all about recording and writing everything down." Some people see their scroll as one book with different chapters (marriage, business, community). Others, like Bralynn, see multiple scrolls—like a library full of possibilities. How to Access Your Scroll Even if you can't "see" anything spiritually yet, Bralynn encourages op

Stop Throwing Parties to Empty Rooms: Why You Need Validation Before Creation Have you ever planned an event with your whole heart? You've got the decorations, the snacks, the music, the lighting—maybe even that cute sign by the door. You clean the house, light the candles, bring out the good china. You're buzzing with excitement because you know lives are about to be changed. And then 6:00 PM comes. No one's there. The doorbell rings—it's your mom. (Thanks, Mom.) A few minutes later, your two friends who you bribed with snacks arrive. 6:30 comes. 7:00 PM comes. And then you realize: no one else is coming. You close down the party with that sinking feeling mixed with embarrassment and disappointment, asking yourself: Is there something wrong with me? But here's the truth: Nothing is wrong with you. Nothing was wrong with your excitement, your belief, or your heart. The only missing piece? Validation before creation. Save your seat now: BusinessByGodsDesign.com/Idea The Empty Room Problem in Online Business This exact scenario plays out every single day in the online business world—especially for kingdom women entrepreneurs who build in isolation. We invest time, energy, and emotion creating programs, courses, and offers before even checking if our people want them. We plan, polish, and perfect. We buy the tech, make the slides, record the lessons, pick the fonts. Then we plan, polish, and perfect again. And when we finally throw the doors open to our product, we're praying people come rushing in. Except they don't. Suddenly it feels like that empty house on party day. You're looking at your work thinking, Lord, did I get this wrong? Did I misunderstand the assignment? But here's what you need to know: Nothing is wrong with your passion, your calling, or your heart. The Lord wants you to bring that heavenly solution down to that earthly problem. The problem wasn't your offer. It was your approach. Why We Build in Bubbles I see so many kingdom women accidentally repeating this pattern: Build the curriculum first Record all the lessons Design the workbook Set up the software Pick the fonts Then pray it sells But we never actually ask real humans along the way. We never get feedback. We never test the idea out loud. We build the entire party without knowing who is actually planning to show up. The solution? A founding member launch that validates your offer idea before you spend months building it. What Really Holds Us Back When I work with clients, I see three main reasons we don't put our offers out into the world: 1. Fear (Disguised as Protection) Fear shows up as procrastination or protection. We procrastinate because we're protecting ourselves from something: Backlash from friends or family What coworkers might think Fear of failure Fear of success Ask yourself: What am I protecting myself from? 2. Unknown Territory Your brain is wired to keep you safe in the familiar. When you step into unknown territory—like launching your first program—your brain sends off alarm signals. We label those sensations as fear or overwhelm. But really, it's just your brain doing its job, letting you know you're in unfamiliar territory. And that's okay. Because as soon as you do the thing, it becomes familiar. And you start getting the feedback you need. 3. Technology Perfectionism The link's not perfect. The email automation isn't exactly set up right. The landing page could be better. Yes, we want to put exceptional things into the world because we're kingdom women entrepreneurs, and all glory goes to our Heavenly Father. But when we wait until it's perfect, we've waited too long. Because feedback and data are what you need to tweak and get clear on what you're doing. Here's What You Need to Understand The feedback you get doesn't mean anything about you. Your identity is rooted in Christ Jesus. Your calling and mission are rooted in the One who called you. The data just tells you what needs to be tweaked: Maybe your messaging

From Overthinking to Peace: The Power of a Heavenly Reset A conversation with Ashriel Huber about Love Moves and finding your reset as a Kingdom business woman Trading Pressure for Peace If you're a woman in business who's tired of overthinking, feeling stuck in fear, or carrying the weight of stress on your shoulders, I want you to know something important: you're not broken. You just need a reset. That's the powerful message my guest Ashriel Huber shares in this episode of the Kingdom Business Revolution podcast. As the creator of Love Moves—a six-minute faith-filled workout for your thoughts and body—Ashriel helps women trade pressure for peace and fear for love. An Ordinary Woman, An Extraordinary God Ashriel didn't set out looking for a transformation. Life was fine, even good some days. But beneath the surface, she carried loneliness, anxiety, and fear—shadows she couldn't shake or talk about. Then Jesus met her in the middle of her ordinary life and pulled off an extraordinary rescue. He woke her up, dusted her off, and reset everything in her mind, body, and soul. Out of that rescue came Love Moves—first as a personal invitation to move in God's love, then as a ministry to help other women discover their own reset in Him. As Ashriel beautifully puts it: "The shadows in my story are still there, but now they're a bright backdrop for Jesus to have this rescue and reset." What's a Heavenly Makeover? We all love makeovers—the dramatic transformations where someone sits in a chair and emerges looking breathtaking. But how do we get prettier on the inside? A heavenly makeover isn't about surface changes. It's about: Lifting off heavy layers of fear, shame, and striving Replacing lies with God's truth Working out from the inside by moving your body, mind, and spirit together The result? People don't necessarily see what changed, but they sense something different. They'll say, "You seem lighter" or "You're more joyful." That's the transformation that happens when you work out from the inside. Why Your Thoughts Matter in Business As Kingdom women in business, our thoughts aren't just background noise—they're seeds. What we think consistently shapes what we believe. What we believe guides our actions. And over time, those actions become our future. When we operate from fear-based thinking, we: Hesitate and play small Shrink from visibility Fall into comparison traps Overwork to prove ourselves Experience burnout But when our thoughts align with heaven's truth, our lives and businesses begin to reflect heaven too. As Proverbs 23:7 reminds us: "As she thinks in her heart, so she is." The Missing Piece for Kingdom Business Women After working with countless women, I've noticed something: many know their business strategy, but they're missing the understanding of how powerful they truly are. The enemy knows that if he can get you stuck—especially in the beginning stages of your business—you won't keep moving forward to make the eternal impact God called you to create. The real power comes from putting your eyes back on the One who called you to the business battlefield, instead of getting distracted by shiny objects and everything going on in the world. Abiding: Your Connection to the Source Abiding isn't just an "extra" for Kingdom business women—it's essential. Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches." When a branch detaches, it withers and dies. The same is true for us spiritually. But here's what's important to understand: Fruit is the byproduct of abiding, not the proof of it. You might be in a winter season right now—like those Michigan trees that look bare and lifeless. But you're not dead. You're not failing. You're still rooted, still alive, and still loved. Abiding doesn't mean nonstop fruit. It means nonstop connection. And the reset of His love is what keeps us steady until the season shifts. A Message for the Weary Mama If you're a mom questioning whether you have what it takes, here's wh

How to Grow Your Email List Fast with Digital Bundle Events If you're tired of being a slave to social media and want a proven strategy to grow your email list with qualified subscribers, I'm about to share the game-changing approach that's transformed my business and helped my clients experience massive growth—even when starting with nearly zero subscribers. Join the Bundles With Impact Cohort Starting at the end of October 2025 - Join us here Get $100 off with the coupon code:  TOOLKIT From Three Subscribers to Hundreds: Stacey's Story Let me tell you about Stacey. She had three people on her email list. Two were the same person (yes, really), and the third was her mom. But when she leveraged the strategy I'm sharing today, everything changed. She significantly grew her email list and successfully launched her beta founding member program right after her first bundle event. If it worked for Stacey, it can work for you too. What Are Digital Bundle Events? A digital bundle event is a collection of high-quality, normally paid-for resources or digital products packaged together and offered to a specific targeted audience to solve a specific problem. Here's how the magic happens: You bring together multiple contributors, each offering something highly valuable. In exchange for access to these resources, participants sign up with their name and email address. It's a true win-win-win: Contributors grow their email lists Participants receive amazing free resources You, as the host, expand your reach in a big way Why Bundles Are My Favorite List-Growth Strategy Over the past few years, I've hosted multiple bundles, virtual events, summits, roundtables, and private audio podcasts. The result? Thousands of engaged subscribers have joined my email list and those of my collaborators. My first bundle event alone grew my list by 946 amazing women. And here's the best part: bundles can be put together in 30 days or less with low to mid effort for a high result. Compare that to virtual summits, which take 90-120 days to organize. While summits offer the biggest bang for your buck, bundles are the fastest, most effective strategy when you want to capitalize on momentum quickly. Four Powerful Reasons Why Bundle Collaborations Work 1. Massive Exposure When you collaborate with multiple contributors, you're not just tapping into your own audience—you're accessing the combined reach of every contributor involved. Your bundle has the potential to reach thousands, even tens of thousands of people you might not have been able to reach otherwise. Don't have a big list yet? That's perfectly fine. You don't need a large audience to host a bundle. In fact, hosting a bundle is the perfect strategy to elevate your authority status and align yourself with other experts in your space. When you do the legwork to create this collaborative platform, contributors will bring their audiences to sign up, which means your email list grows really, really fast. 2. Higher Quality Subscribers The quality of subscribers you get from a bundle is often higher than other methods because participants opt in for a specific targeted resource that aligns with their interests. These people are more likely to be engaged and interested in what you have to offer. Bundle participants generally want what you're providing, which means they're likely to open your emails, click your links, and eventually become paying customers. The key: Make sure your bundle speaks to your ideal client in a specific, targeted way. Avoid making it too fluffy, broad, or vague. You want to attract your level 10 client—that perfect ideal client who will eventually invest in your offers. 3. Valuable Relationship Building Bundles are a fantastic way to build relationships and network so you can continue collaborating in the future. By working closely with other entrepreneurs, you're not only expanding your reach but also creating valuable connections that lead to future collaborations, j

Welcome to the Trust Recession: Why Beginners Are Winning in 2025 Why high ticket isn't dead—but the old way of selling it is Join us inside The Activation Room! https://go.kristindronchi.com/activation-room   The Real Problem Isn't What You Think A potential client recently shared something that stopped me in my tracks. After months of building her first offer in isolation, she finally launched—and got zero sales. When we dug deeper, she said something profound: "I don't think people really trust me yet. Not because I'm not good at what I do, but because they don't know who I am." That conversation perfectly captures the 2025 market landscape. It's not that people aren't buying—it's that they're buying differently. We're Not in a Financial Crisis. We're in a Trust Recession. Here's what most entrepreneurs are missing: Buyers aren't broke. They're burned. They're done with overpriced promises that don't deliver. They're skeptical by default. Their attention is shorter than ever, and they're looking for more than bold claims and flashy marketing. The good news? If you're in the beginning stages of your business, you're not behind. You're actually ahead. You have the chance to build the one thing this market values most: trust. And if you're a Kingdom woman entrepreneur? You have a unique advantage in restoring trust to the online space. Why Traditional Strategies Are Failing The old playbook looked like this: Run paid ads to cold leads Funnel them through a webinar or live launch Sell high-ticket programs ($2K-$10K+) immediately Minimal personal involvement, maximum automation This approach worked beautifully three to five years ago. But in 2025? It's dead in the water. Here's why: The trust deficit has changed buyer behavior completely. Your ideal clients are bringing past disappointments into every purchasing decision. They've been burned by courses that overpromised and under-delivered. They've paid for "personal access" only to be handed off to a team member. They've invested thousands in information they could have Googled. So now, even though they have the financial means and desire for premium solutions, they're taking longer to decide. They're more discerning. They need to see proof that you can actually deliver results before committing to high-ticket investments. The Currency Has Changed: From Information to Transformation People aren't looking for: Free information (they can get that from AI) Educational content without application Surface-level engagement Empty promises and expert status They are looking for: Real, tangible transformation Authentic relationships and human connection The ability to "test drive" before committing Proof that you can actually solve their problem Here's a powerful question to consider: If you had to give someone a transformation and solve their problem BEFORE they paid you, how would you show up? What kind of service would you provide? That's the standard your market is demanding right now. The New Winning Model: The Trust Pathway The businesses thriving in 2025 aren't abandoning high-ticket offers. They're just changing the path to get there. Instead of the old model (cold leads → discovery calls → live launch → high ticket), the new model looks like this: Phase 1: The Trust Pathway Offer Low barrier entry point (think: impulse buy, like grabbing a candy bar at checkout) Low price, low commitment, low risk Delivers a genuine quick win and real transformation Proves your expertise and methodology Brings clients into your ecosystem by the hundreds Phase 2: Momentum & Transformation Clients experience real results from your trust pathway offer Builds confidence and trust in you and your process Creates natural desire for deeper engagement Clients tell you what they want next Phase 3: The Internal Upsell Seamless transition to mid or high-ticket offerings Clients are pre-qualified and ready to invest Higher conversion rates due to established trust You're selling

The Cracker Barrel Logo Disaster: 4 Kingdom Business Lessons Every Entrepreneur Needs to Know What happens when a $100 million mistake comes down to a single logo change? In this episode, we dive deep into Cracker Barrel's recent branding meltdown that sparked social media chaos, political commentary, and a massive stock plummeting. But this isn't just about logos or restaurant chains, it's about identity, connection, and your kingdom calling in business. Kristin breaks down the four critical mistakes Cracker Barrel made when they stripped away their iconic Uncle Herschel logo, and how you can avoid these pitfalls in your own business. More importantly, she explores what God's word says about legacy, authenticity, and emotional connection, revealing why your online business isn't just a brand—it's a kingdom assignment. What Happened: The Cracker Barrel Fiasco Timeline August 19th: Cracker Barrel unveiled a new minimalist logo, removing the iconic Uncle Herschel imagery that had been part of their identity since 1977 Within Hours: Fierce customer backlash erupted across social media Within Days: Stock plummeted 12%, wiping out nearly $100 million in value Politicians Weighed In: High-profile figures including President Trump demanded the logo return Within a Week: Cracker Barrel issued a public apology and promised to restore the original logo 4 Critical Business Lessons from the Disaster Lesson 1: Talk to Your Customers Scripture Reference: Proverbs 15:22 - "Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisors, they succeed." Cracker Barrel failed to conduct adequate focus groups or customer surveys The immediate, massive backlash indicated they didn't test with their loyal customer base Action Item: Always gather customer feedback through surveys, polls, and beta launches before major changes Lesson 2: Stay True to Your Identity The original logo wasn't just design—it carried story, nostalgia, and tradition Erasing the logo erased part of who they were as a brand Kingdom Perspective: Your business identity should be rooted in Christ, not cultural trends Action Item: Maintain your core values and unique God-given differentiator Lesson 3: Emotion Sells Key Quote: "People will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Customers weren't debating the food—they were responding to how the logo made them feel People buy transformation, story, and emotion, not just products Kingdom Twist: We're not selling products, we're stewarding encounters that carry the fragrance of Christ Lesson 4: Quick Corrections Build Trust Scripture Reference: James 5:16 - "Confess your faults to one another that you may be healed." Cracker Barrel moved fast to correct their mistake within a week Transparency and quick action actually restored confidence Action Item: Own mistakes quickly, apologize genuinely, and make things right Spiritual Lessons Through a Kingdom Lens Ancient Landmarks Matter Scripture Reference: Proverbs 22:28 - "Do not remove the ancient landmarks that your fathers have set." Don't abandon foundational truths just to appear modern Preserve the core elements that anchor your identity in Christ Identity Over Imitation Scripture Reference: Romans 12:2 - Calls us to be transformed, not conformed The world pushes conformity, but God calls us to distinctiveness Your unique God-given differentiator shouldn't be watered down for trends Eternal Return on Investment Build businesses that point back to Him Every mistake is a stepping stone to success and spiritual growth Make decisions anchored in kingdom values: authenticity, service, and stewardship Key Takeaways for Kingdom Women Entrepreneurs Seek Godly Counsel: Before major decisions, consult your "heavenly board of directors" first Reflect Your Identity in Christ: Ask if changes truly reflect who you are in Him Maintain Core Values: Ensure decisions align with the values you're bringing into your bu

The Humble Beginning: When Passion Meets Purpose Rhea Lana’s story began nearly 30 years ago. A stay-at-home mom with three little ones and a tight budget, she found herself craving cute clothes for her kids but couldn’t afford new ones. Like many of us, she discovered a love for secondhand shopping—but at the time, the experience left much to be desired. So she created her own. “I just wanted something better. I wanted my friends to feel special, even while shopping secondhand,” Rhea Lana shared. She organized her first consignment sale in her living room—meticulously washed and ironed everything, cleared out the furniture, and welcomed 11 moms who entrusted her with their items. It wasn’t just a garage sale; it was a boutique experience. But here’s the truth bomb: no one came. When No One Shows Up That first sale? A total flop. Not because the idea was bad—but because she hadn’t learned yet how to invite people in. “I thought if I made it perfect enough, they would come,” she said. But God had other plans—plans that involved stepping way out of her comfort zone. So she picked up the phone, called those 11 consignors, apologized, and asked to keep their items for one more week. She learned, adapted, marketed differently—and tried again. And that’s a major takeaway for us all: Failure isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of becoming. Harmony Over Hustle: Navigating Seasons as a Mom & CEO As a woman of faith and a mom, Rhea Lana doesn’t shy away from the tension of “doing it all.” She reminds us that life is lived in seasons. You won’t do everything all at once—and you’re not meant to. Instead, she encourages women to: Prioritize what matters now Declutter physically and mentally Let go of what’s weighing you down Lean into unexpected skills God reveals along the way Her journey didn’t start with a business degree or financial training. “I didn’t know I could do marketing or numbers,” she said. “But I discovered those gifts after I stepped out.” That’s key: You don’t have to know it all to begin. You just have to begin. Encouragement for the Woman on the Fence If you’re listening and feeling that nudge to start your own thing—but fear is whispering “you’re not enough”—Rhea Lana has a message for you: “You have to figure out your why. When your reason to keep going is stronger than your fear of rejection, that’s where transformation happens.” She shared how teaching a summer tennis camp once left her with zero profit—a painful but powerful lesson that propelled her to learn about money, margins, and the real difference between passion projects and businesses. That bold honesty is such a gift to us. How to Find Your Passion When You’re Not Sure So what if you’re sitting there thinking, “I don’t even know what my passion is?” Rhea Lana suggests asking: Where do you already see fruit in your life? What keeps drawing you in? What do others thank you for? What feels energizing—not draining—even if it’s hard? And sometimes? The clues are hidden in the parts of your day you dismiss as “normal.” That thing you do without thinking? That might be your God-given genius zone waiting to be activated. Final Wisdom Rhea Lana is now 60 and still learning, still growing, still pressing forward in faith. And that’s the heartbeat of this episode: You’re never too early or too late to start. Let this be your reminder today: You don’t need to have it all figured out to move forward. Just be willing to say yes to the next step God places in front of you. Whether that’s organizing a small event in your living room, launching an online offer, or teaching your kids with excellence—it matters. And your obedience can lead to an impact far beyond what you can currently imagine. Thank you, Rhea Lana, for your authenticity, wisdom, and faith. You’ve reminded us that every great journey begins with one faithful step—and sometimes, three racks of secondhand clothes.     Connect with Rhea: Website: http://www.rhealana.com  LinkedIn: https://

Midyear Business Reset for Christian Women Entrepreneurs: You're Not Behind, You're Right on Time Originally published from Kingdom Revolution Podcast Episode - June 3, 2025 Can I be totally transparent with you? The month of May flew by for me, and if you've been feeling anything like I have—a little bit heavy, wondering if you're making real progress in your business—this message is for you. As Christian women entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves carrying burdens that were never meant to be ours. What once felt exciting and full of purpose in our business can start to feel like pressure, especially when we're not seeing the results we hoped for by now. But here's what I want you to know: You're not behind. You are not disqualified. You're right on time for a midyear reset and breakthrough. The Reality of Building a Kingdom Business While supporting my amazing clients inside the Kingdom Business Revolution and Business by God's Design Academy this month, I've been reminded of something powerful: taking messy, faith-filled action forward is exactly how clarity comes. In the beginning, we don't know what we're doing. We just know there was a Holy Spirit pivot—that moment where we knew we were called to the online business space, that God was calling us to more. We had this dream, this desire inside to bring forth our area of expertise and create a business that generates both income and impact. If you're a woman called to online business, I wholeheartedly believe that God is calling you to rise up and step onto the business battlefield. You're not only called to create impact with those you serve—your online business IS the battlefield where you get to show up and change broken and corrupt systems, wreak havoc on the darkness of this world, shift paradigms, and break strongholds. Why Spring is Your New Beginning Here's something that might shift your perspective entirely: our worldly calendar isn't our Heavenly Father's calendar. While the world tells us New Year's resolutions should have been accomplished by now, God's calendar works differently. New Year's in the biblical calendar is actually springtime—when the world starts to wake up from its hibernation over winter. We have things backward when we follow the world's way. God's way is so much easier. His burden is light, and His yoke is easy. Right now, we're just moving into springtime on the Lord's calendar. It's the beginning of a new year. The leaves are coming back on the trees, the grass is becoming green, and everything is coming alive again. This is the beginning of a new season in your business. If those thoughts of "I thought I'd be so much further along by now" have crept into your mind, I want to lovingly remind you: You're not behind You are not disqualified You may have disqualified yourself, but the Lord has qualified you You are anointed for the business battlefield You're not too late Your journey is your journey Three Simple Ways to Refocus and Realign with God's Design 1. Revisit Your God-Given Vision God planted those seeds for your business in your heart. What did He speak to you before the marketing plans, before the gurus said to do this and that, before you kept changing strategies, before the overwhelm, before the comparison crept in? What was that vision God put on your heart? Go back to that place, write it down, and speak it out loud. As Habakkuk 2:2 says, "Write the vision and make it plain, so those that hear it can run after it." Let the Holy Spirit breathe fresh wind and fresh encouragement into what may feel dry, burdened, or dusty. God didn't change His mind. He called you. He has a purpose for your online business. Sometimes the clarity we crave isn't a new idea—it's remembering the vision and dream He already gave us. 2. Clarify Your Assignment for This Season As moms and women, we go through different seasons, and you're not called to carry everything in every season. But you ARE called to do something, and that something

But what if there’s a deeper dimension we’ve been missing all along? Today on the Kingdom Revolution Podcast, we welcome Heather Day, author of the newly released book Money and Spirit. Heather challenges the traditional narratives around money and offers a refreshing perspective: true financial transformation doesn’t begin with spreadsheets or budgets—it begins with surrender. Through Money and Spirit, Heather invites us to explore how our spiritual lives are deeply connected to our material resources—and why surrendering our finances to the Holy Spirit is key for lasting change. Why This Matters for Christian Women in Business As Christian women called to create kingdom wealth, money is a tool God uses through us—to bless more, give more, and bring change to broken and corrupt systems. Yet many of us unknowingly operate from places of fear, anxiety, or misplaced priorities when it comes to finances. Heather’s message is clear: God cares about the areas of our lives that keep us in bondage—including money. And He longs to set us free. Meet Heather Day Heather is a wife, a mom of two, a full-time working professional, and a passionate ministry leader. As a pastor’s kid, Heather grew up with the assurance of God’s love, but her journey has shown her that surrender is a lifelong process—even in the realm of finances. Heather shared how the inspiration for Money and Spirit came through a simple but powerful prayer during a meeting at the Barnabas Foundation. A moment of spiritual "stuckness" birthed a movement—what started as a Bible study concept eventually evolved into a book that would encourage countless others. Money Struggles: A Spiritual Issue? In Christian circles, we often talk about surrendering our relationships, our futures, and our dreams to God. But money? That's often treated as off-limits.Heather points out that when we ignore the spiritual root behind our money struggles, we end up only treating symptoms like overspending, hoarding, fear, or anxiety—without ever addressing the deeper spiritual misalignments. If our financial behaviors reflect fear, mistrust, or misplaced identity, it’s a clear signal: there’s a heart issue that God wants to heal. Recognizing the Symptoms and Getting to the Root If you're feeling that ding-ding-ding of recognition right now, you're not alone. So where do you start?Heather recommends two key first steps: Prayer of Surrender: Invite God into your finances. Acknowledge that you can’t do it alone and ask Him to lead. Prayer of Examination: Ask God to search your heart and reveal where fear, pride, anxiety, or misplaced trust might be guiding your financial decisions. From there, allow God’s Spirit to guide you into freedom—whether that's addressing overspending, fear of not having enough, or unhealthy attachments to wealth. Heather’s Personal Journey: Lessons from the Trenches Heather openly shares that even as she wrote Money and Spirit, God was still working on her heart. She described a personal moment when a broken fridge almost spiraled into an impulsive decision to finance an entire new kitchen. It was a sobering reminder that even when we think we've "arrived," surrender is ongoing. True freedom comes not from achieving perfection, but

From Crickets to Conversions: Reviving Your Failed Beta Launch | Christian Business Strategy for Online Entrepreneurs Episode Description Have you ever had a launch flop? You poured your heart, soul, prayers, and countless hours into creating something you believe God called you to share, only to hear crickets when you launched? In this powerful episode, Kristin shares three proven strategies to revive your beta founding member program without scrapping everything and starting over. Learn how to transform launch disappointment into valuable feedback for your next breakthrough. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why a failed beta launch is feedback, not failure How to revisit and refine your messaging to clearly communicate your offer's value The importance of building a nurture runway that warms your audience up before launching Practical steps to relaunch with fresh energy and conviction Why small, strategic tweaks are better than major overhauls Key Takeaways: Revisit Your Messaging: Ensure your offer solves a clear problem using language your ideal client actually understands. Focus on their pain points and desired transformation rather than your processes. Build a Nurture Runway: Create intentional content that helps your audience recognize their real problem, trust your voice, and desire what your offer delivers before you make your pitch. Relaunch Strategically: Don't scrap everything - make targeted improvements based on feedback, simplify if needed, and show up with renewed clarity and conviction. Quotable Moments: "A flopped beta launch isn't failure. It's feedback." "Stop describing the process and start reflecting the pain and desire." "Just because you are ready to launch doesn't mean your audience is ready to buy." "Your beta launch flopping isn't a red light, it's just a yield sign."   🔥 EXCLUSIVE EVENT: CALLED TO BUSINESS 🔥 Are you ready to build a profitable, purpose-driven business aligned with God's calling on your life?

Doubled Her List, Tripled Her Faith Wendy Wallace’s Summit Success Story [Ep 170] When Wendy Wallace first entered the Summits with Impact program, she was passionate about serving Christian women through her mentorship and digital content. However, she faced a common struggle: growing her email list with the right audience and creating consistent income in her online business. In this case study, Wendy shares her journey, the transformation she experienced through hosting her first virtual summit, and why she now considers summits an essential part of her ongoing marketing strategy. You can join Wendy's next Radiant Resilience Summit Here This event is for you if you want to... Stop Winging Your Time with God & Live a Life That Honors Him! Deepen your relationship with the Lord, gain confidence in Him, and grow your faith so that it doesn't waiver when times get hard. Build a virtuous life that honors Him and brings peace and joy to your family—even in life’s challenges! Meet Wendy Wallace Wendy is a Christian mentor and digital content creator who helps women rediscover God’s joy and peace in the midst of life’s trials. Through her work, she empowers women to deepen their faith and biblical knowledge so they can move forward with joy, no matter their circumstances. Her journey to this mission is deeply personal. In 2011, Wendy contracted a flesh-eating bacteria that put her in a coma for three weeks and led to the amputation of both her hands and feet. She had three teenagers at the time and found herself grappling with a completely transformed life. "I found my value and purpose in being a mom," Wendy shares. "But when you lose your hands, it changes how you live, and it messed with my head for a long time. Through God's prompting, I realized He wanted me to reach other women who were stuck—who had lost their joy and peace in their own trials." Today, Wendy uses her experience to mentor others through the challenges of life, reminding them that joy and peace—fruits of the Spirit—are always available through a relationship with Christ. The Struggles Before Hosting a Virtual Summit Despite her passion and clear calling, Wendy struggled to grow her business. "I kept hearing that people needed what I offered, but I couldn’t find them," she explains. "My email list wasn’t growing with the right people. I had subscribers, but they weren't interested in what I was teaching." Wendy needed a solution that would help her attract an audience genuinely aligned with her message—and ultimately turn her passion into a thriving business. She had been part of Kristin's Online Business by God’s Design program, and when Kristin introduced Summits with Impact, Wendy felt a spark of hope. Still, doubts lingered. "As an amputee, everything I do takes more effort—whether it's typing with styluses or using voice-to-text. Hosting a summit felt overwhelming. I knew I could do it, but I wasn’t sure how well." Enter the Summits with Impact Program Once inside the program, Wendy realized she had found what she had been missing. "Hands down, it was the best program I’ve ever taken," Wendy says. "I’ve been blogging since 2018, and I’ve spent so much time and money learning how to serve online. But Summits with Impact was different. Kristen left nothing to the imagination. She gave us a step-by-step system that worked." Through the program, Wendy was able to: Clarify her messaging to attract her ideal audience   Create a well-organized, seamless event that speakers and attendees raved about   Grow her email list by 104%   Bring in $4,000 in revenue before the summit even launched   "Everything was organized, clear, and simple to follow. I got feedback from attendees and speakers saying how amazing and professional it all was—and that they wanted to know when the next summit would be!" The Tangible Results Before hosting her summit, Wendy’s email list hovered around 800 subscribers, despite years of effort. Afte

How I Grew My Email List Without Freebies or Social Media Have you been spinning your wheels trying to grow your email list with little results? Are you tired of being told you need to create yet another freebie or dance and point on social media? I want to share how I transformed my business by tripling (and even quadrupling) my email list without relying on social media, paid ads, or the standard lead magnet freebies that everyone claims are essential. My List Growth Journey Back in 2022, I had only about 150 subscribers after nearly two and a half years of trying to build my list. The problem? I was making critical mistakes: I created lead magnets that didn't lead anywhere I had no customer journey mapped out I lacked clarity on my offer and ideal client My business wasn't aligned with God's design yet Then I discovered a strategy that changed everything. In just weeks, I tripled my email list. More recently, I grew my list by 162 amazing women in just 22 days – all while I was sick and unable to actively work on my business! The Strategy: Leveraging Collaboration as Your Top-of-Funnel Lead Magnet The key to my success has been using collaborations as my primary lead generation strategy. Instead of relying on traditional freebies, I focus on: Value Visibility: Strategically showing up where my ideal audience already gathers by participating in collaborations, guest teaching, and providing genuine value Voice Visibility: Building relationships and credibility by lending my unique voice to conversations through podcast guesting, collaborative projects, and partnership events This framework focuses on quality over quantity, resulting in more engaged subscribers right from day one. Recent Results Those 162 new subscribers I mentioned? They came from just two bundle events I participated in. And my current open rates hover between 30-50% (well above industry standards), with click-through rates also exceeding averages. This tells me I'm not just growing my list – I'm growing it with the right people who genuinely engage with my content. Why I Don't Rely on Social Media Here's where I might be a bit controversial: I intentionally shifted away from social media as my primary list-building strategy. Why? Social media algorithms control your reach Platform tactics and strategies constantly change Success becomes tied to something outside your control Instead, I focused on strategic partnerships that give me direct access to my audience without algorithm interference. This doesn't mean I abandoned social media completely (though I did lose all my accounts to hacking in January 2025 right before a huge launch). I still maintain a presence, but it's supplementary rather than foundational. The freedom this shift has given me is incredible! I'm no longer stressed about posting daily or keeping up with the latest trends. I've reclaimed hours each week to better serve my audience and clients. My Email Growth Drivers Here's what actually drives my list growth: Strategic collaborations: Carefully selected bundle events where my offer is positioned alongside complementary experts serving the same audience Speaking at virtual summits: Events with hosts committed to promotion and audiences that match mine Hosting my own collaboration events: This gives the biggest return on time invested as you control the positioning and collect all email addresses The power of collaboration strategies is that they bring in pre-qualified subscribers – people who have actively said "yes" to your content rather than random clicks on ads or freebies. Common Mistakes to Avoid As you rethink your email growth strategy, watch out for these common pitfalls: Chasing vanity metrics: Focusing on likes, shares, or subscriber count over engagement and quality Inconsistency: Emailing sporadically instead of maintaining regular contact (at least weekly) Treating your list like an ATM: Only showing up when you have something to sell Never making offers:

 The Power of Faith and Authenticity in Copywriting with Krista Tressa In the world of business, especially for Christian entrepreneurs, it can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and overlook one of the most important aspects of success: authenticity. How do you build a business that not only thrives but also reflects the values of your faith? Today’s episode of the Kingdom Revolution Podcast is essential for those of you who are seeking to deepen your connection with your audience and create a business that stands out for the right reasons. We’re diving into the powerful intersection of faith and copywriting with Krista Tressa, a Christ-centered CEO and Chief Copywriting Officer at Caring Messenger Copywriting. Krista’s mission is to help small businesses connect authentically with their audiences through emotionally intelligent, purpose-driven messaging that not only elevates profits but also advances the Kingdom of God. If you’ve ever wondered how to blend your faith with your business in a meaningful way, this episode is packed with wisdom and insight that you don’t want to miss. From Pharmacist to Entrepreneur: A God-Driven Journey Krista’s story is one of divine orchestration. Originally trained as a pharmacist and later a high school tech ed teacher, Krista’s career path took an unexpected turn into copywriting. As she reflects, it’s clear that this shift was guided by God. “It’s a God thing,” Krista says. “Writing’s always been a passion of mine. I didn’t realize that I could help my family financially with it.” Over time, God used her past experiences to fuel her new career, leading her to empower kingdom builders and Christian entrepreneurs through her copywriting services. Her journey into entrepreneurship, which she now sees as part of her ministry, is a testimony to God’s timing. Krista helps businesses communicate their heart and values through impactful messaging, believing that copywriting is not just a skill—it’s a ministry. “It’s really a God thing,” she emphasizes, acknowledging the role of faith in everything she does. Copywriting: More Than Just Words Krista explains copywriting as the art of using emotionally intelligent messaging to connect with an audience and inspire action. Whether selling a product or service, the goal is to emotionally engage potential customers so they’ll take the desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service. But copywriting is much more than just writing words; it involves storytelling, brand voice, and tapping into human emotions. Krista describes her approach as one driven by discernment and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. She has a unique ability to read between the lines and connect with people on a deeper level. This skill, she says, has helped her build a thriving business and make a positive impact on her clients. She also shares a special moment when her children, especially her teenagers, ask her for help editing papers. “It’s heartwarming,” she says, “because I get to nurture that gift of writing while encouraging them in their own journey.” Understanding Your Brand Voice: The Importance of a Tone Guide One of the key aspects of Krista’s work is helping clients understand their brand voice and tone. For many entrepreneurs, especially in the early stages of their business, it can be challenging to express their unique message in a way that resonates with their ideal audience. This is where Krista’s expertise shines. She explains, “Not everyone is gifted with tapping into the emotional side of messaging or knows how to share their story effectively. That’s where I come in.” Whether a client is unsure about their brand tone or needs help articulating their message, Krista works closely with them to refine their voice and create a tone guide. This guide serves as a foundation for all marketing materials and ensures consistency as the business grows. Krista also highlights the value of hiring a professional copywriter early in the proc

The #1 Lead Magnet Mistake Christian Women in Online Business Make Is your free lead magnet secretly sabotaging your sales? Discover why most Christian Women Entrepreneurs are making a critical mistake with their email list strategy. The Lead Magnet Mistake That's Costing You Sales You've done everything "right." You created that free PDF guide, checklist, or resource. You've promoted it on social media. You've participated in bundles and summits. Your email list has grown impressively, and your open rates look decent. People even compliment your content. But when you finally launch your offer... crickets. If this sounds familiar, you're experiencing what I call the invisible gap – a critical mistake that many Christian women entrepreneurs make when building their email list. The Core Problem: Your Freebie Doesn't Create Desire for Your Offer The fundamental issue isn't that you have a lead magnet or that you're building an email list. The problem is that your freebie doesn't strategically align with your paid offer, creating a disconnect in your customer journey. Most entrepreneurs experience marketing funnels from left to right: See content or ad Opt in for freebie Join email list Attend webinar/challenge Consider paid offer So naturally, they create their funnel in that same order. They start by making a lead magnet, then figure out what to sell later. This approach creates a fatal flaw: building a bridge that leads nowhere. The Counterintuitive Approach: Start with the End in Mind Successful online marketers take a completely different approach. They work backwards, not forwards: Define your paid offer first - Get absolute clarity on what transformation you provide Map your signature framework - Outline exactly how you help your ideal clients Extract a strategic piece - Create a lead magnet that naturally sets up desire for your offer When you start with your offer first, your entire funnel becomes strategically aligned. Your lead magnet doesn't just build your list – it begins the sales process by attracting the right people and creating demand for your solution. The Two-Question Framework for Converting Lead Magnets To create a lead magnet that effectively bridges to your paid offer, ask these two critical questions: What specific, tangible outcome does your offer provide? (Focus on external, visible results) Instead of "Improve your YouTube marketing" Try "Get your first YouTube video ranked at the top of YouTube search" What does that give them? (Ask repeatedly to uncover deeper emotional benefits) More exposure More leads and sales More money More freedom and time with family These questions help you define both the external and internal outcomes of your offer, allowing you to create a lead magnet that speaks directly to these desires. Common Lead Magnet Mistakes to Avoid 1. Duct-Taping Your Business Together Creating a lead magnet without knowing what you're selling next leaves you constantly starting and stopping, trying to figure out the next step. 2. Choosing Unrelated Lead Magnet Topics If your lead magnet doesn't connect logically to your offer, you'll attract the wrong subscribers. Example: A YouTube course with a lead magnet about building an email list. 3. Working in the Wrong Direction Experiencing funnels from left to right, then creating yours the same way, leads to misalignment and poor results. The Consequences of Getting This Wrong When your lead magnet doesn't align with your offer, you'll experience: Large email list but few buyers Wasted effort on content that doesn't generate sales Endless content creation trying to warm up the wrong audience Constant frustration and underwhelming launches The Solution: Map Your Customer Journey Backwards Smart Kingdom entrepreneurs work backwards: Start with YOU by God's design (extract your unique blueprint) Define your offer with absolute clarity Map your customer journey toward that paid offer Create a lead magnet that bridges the gap Y

Amplify Your Kingdom Message: The Power of Podcast Guesting with Sabrina Hammonds Are you a Kingdom woman in online business looking to expand your reach and impact? What if the key to amplifying your God-given message lies not in chasing social media algorithms, but in authentic conversations that reach deeply engaged listeners? In a recent episode of the Kingdom Revolution podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Sabrina Hammonds, founder of Kingdom Connections Podcast and Media Agency. Sabrina helps transformational leaders amplify their message and connect with their ideal audience through strategic podcast guesting. How Podcast Guesting Can Transform Your Kingdom Business Sabrina’s journey into podcast guesting began unexpectedly. With no intention of starting a business and no knowledge of what a podcast was, she found herself offering to help someone share their powerful testimony. “I had no idea what I was offering to do for this woman,” Sabrina recalls. “And she says, ‘Yeah, I’m supposed to be speaking. The Lord’s already told me that. Let’s do it.'” This led to what Sabrina describes as “building the plane as you go” business model, where she discovered podcast guesting as an effective way to help her clients share their message. “Never discount yourself or count yourself out from doing what you feel like God is leading you to simply because you don’t know. It’s okay. He knows and that’s enough.” Getting Started with Podcast Guesting If you’re interested in trying podcast guesting, Sabrina recommends starting in communities where people are looking for collaboration partners. Here’s a simple approach: Join communities (like Kristen’s) where podcast hosts gather Share that you’re passionate about your topic and looking for opportunities to add value When someone responds with their podcast, listen to 2-3 episodes to understand their message and audience Reach out authentically: “I listened to your podcast. I listened to this episode. I totally relate and resonate with what you shared. I think I could really add value to your audience because this is what I’m passionate about sharing.” Remember, podcast hosts are looking for guests who can fill in gaps and solve problems their audience is experiencing. Quality Over Quantity: The Power of One Connection Sabrina emphasizes that podcast guesting isn’t about the number of shows you appear on, but the quality of connections you make. She shared how one strategic connection with Nadine Mullings has created multiplication in her business and for her clients. “God is a God of relationships. Through this one connection, there has been such multiplication in my business and in the business and connections for my clients—I can’t even tell you how much, it’s almost too much to count.” This approach aligns with Kingdom principles. We’re not doing business the world’s way, focused solely on numbers, but the Lord’s way, where He can multiply the impact of even one appearance. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Pitching Yourself as a Guest Sabrina highlighted four common pitfalls to avoid: Lack of research: Don’t mass-pitch to podcasts without thoroughly understanding their message and audience. “Spirituality doesn’t mean the same thing to everybody,” Sabrina warns. Self-focused pitching: Focus on how you can add value to the host’s audience rather than listing your own accomplishments. Giving up after one attempt: Many podcasts receive numerous pitches daily. Follow up if you don’t hear back initially. Trying to fit in: Understand and confidently communicate the unique value you bring. “We’re not supposed to figure out how we can fit, but really understand our value and share that with the podcast host.” Take Your Next Step: Visibility Strategy Session If you’re interested in leveraging podcast guesting to amplify your Kingdom message, Sabrina is offering a special Visibility Strategy Session.
