Prioritizing What Matters Most as a Christian Woman Called to Work with She Works His Way | Ep 68

You know you’re called to start this business, but you also don’t want to neglect your family.

When we feel that calling to be an entrepreneur, it can consume us if we’re not careful. Not to mention the standards that the world is calling us to when it comes to success and how money and followers seem to be the ultimate measure of a “successful” online business. 

But as Christian entrepreneurs, we know that’s not true. We’re called to do things differently. 

Today on the podcast, I’m talking with Michelle and Somer from She Works His Way about how to prioritize what matters most as Christian women called to work. 

This conversation is so rich with wisdom and mindset shifts on how to see work and all you do as something unto the Lord. 

Here are a few of the topics we cover: 

**How to respond to hustle culture and the drive to succeed as Christian women today

**Being “set apart” and what that looks like for women today

**Giving a Biblical definition of work

**When to leave your job to pursue entrepreneurship (or not)

**The real measure of success

**How to handle it when friends and family resist your decision to follow God in your work

**How to hear God to follow where He’s leading

**Knowing God’s will for your life

**Combating mom guilt 

“The world promised us that if we could achieve work-life balance, then all would be ok. But the real answer is keeping God first and then everything will be ok.” - Michelle and Somer, She Works His Way

I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do. 

More about Michelle and Somer 

Michelle and Somer love to talk about how culture is shifting the focus of Christian women who work—always telling us to work more, do more, be more. But, that’s not what Jesus calls us to. He is constantly turning us back to himself. So as women who feel called to work, how can we stop prioritizing balance and start prioritizing what or Who matters most? Culture says: Forge your own way. God says: I am the only Way.
