Hey, amazing Christian women entrepreneurs! 👋 Are you staring at your to-do list wondering if your hustle is actually God-hustle approved? Yeah… me too sometimes. But here’s the good news: aligning your business goals with God’s calling doesn’t have to be confusing, stressful, or involve a dramatic voice from the heavens (though if that happens, grab popcorn 🍿).
The key is to align business goals with God’s calling—not just chase money, followers, or that “perfect” Instagram aesthetic. Your goals can honor God while growing your biz, serving clients, and yes, even making room for Netflix breaks without guilt.
Step 1: Pray (Yes, Really Pray)
Before you draft your business plan, open your heart (and your Bible) and talk to God. Ask Him:
- “Lord, does this goal glorify You?”
- “Am I serving others with this idea?”
- “Will this bring me peace or panic?”
Prayer is like your spiritual Wi-Fi—without it, nothing connects. 🙏
Step 2: List Your Goals (The Godly Way)
Grab your journal, your laptop, or even a sticky note (the bigger, the better!). Write down all your business goals, but then filter them through God’s calling. If a goal doesn’t align with your purpose, it’s okay to toss it like yesterday’s expired coupon.
Hint: If your goal is “get rich fast,” maybe tweak it to “serve more people with faith-driven solutions.” 💡
Step 3: Match Your Goals With Your Gifts
God didn’t give you superpowers just to ignore them. If your gifts are creativity, compassion, or strategy, make sure your goals play to those strengths. For instance:
- If you’re a creative soul, maybe your goal is to design content that uplifts others.
- If you’re analytical, maybe your goal is to streamline client processes or manage numbers with grace.
Step 4: Plan with Action (But Stay Flexible)
Now that you’ve prayed, listed, and matched your goals, it’s time to put the plan into action. Schedule tasks, track progress, and remember: God’s timing > your deadlines.

Step 5: Review & Adjust
Business isn’t static, and neither is your calling. Take time to review your goals monthly. Ask yourself:
- Am I still aligned with God’s calling?
- Do these goals reflect His purpose for my business?
- Am I joyful or just busy?
If you find a goal drifting away from God’s calling, adjust, pivot, or pray for guidance. It’s all part of the journey.
Final Thoughts
Aligning your business goals with God’s calling is about intention, prayer, and action. It’s about building a business that honors your faith while growing your brand, serving clients, and enjoying the ride (coffee optional, but highly recommended ☕).
Remember: You can have a thriving business and a thriving spiritual life—it’s not one or the other.
