🎙️ Success Epistles | The Parable of the Talents: Fear, Risk & Business Success

Is fear holding you back from stepping out in faith?

In this episode of Success Epistles, we take a fresh look at the Parable of the Talents—not from the perspective of success, but from the third servant who buried his gift out of fear.

I open up about my own experience of financial loss—how my husband and I made what we thought was a wise investment, only to see it disappear.

It left me wrestling with gratitude and grief, asking God:
"Is it enough just to be alive and grateful, or should I still want more?"

💡 In this episode, we’ll explore:
✅ The real reason the third servant was punished
✅ Why fear of failure keeps many Christians from growing financially
✅ How probability, timing, and God’s wisdom play a role in success
✅ Why even faithful Christians experience financial losses
✅ How to heal from past failures and step out again in confidence

If you’ve ever lost money in business, faced a financial setback, or feared taking risks, this episode is for you. God doesn’t just want you to succeed—He wants to heal you first.

In this episode of The Uplift Space, we draw inspiration from the story of King Jehoshaphat, a biblical tale of victory through praise.

Facing overwhelming odds, Jehoshaphat and his people chose to praise God, and in return, God fought their battles for them.

I reflect on how this powerful story mirrors the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Embracing a mindset of praise, even in the midst of challenges, can open your eyes to solutions and bring clarity in the chaos.

Tune in to learn how praising through the entrepreneurial roller coaster can lead to unexpected breakthroughs and divine strategies.

In this episode of The Uplift Space, I dive into a topic close to the heart of every entrepreneur—identity.

As Christian business owners, it's easy to get caught up in defining ourselves by our successes or failures.

But what if our true identity isn’t tied to our achievements or setbacks?

Join me as I explore how rooting our identity in our relationship with God offers a stable foundation, no matter what the business world throws at us.

We’ll unpack how to break free from the pressure of performance and find lasting peace in knowing who we are in Christ.

God bless you!
