In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, it’s easy to believe that hustle equals success. But what if true growth comes not from striving but from surrender? In this episode of The Founder Collective, we explore the power of trusting God’s provision, stepping into obedience without all the answers, and making space for Holy Spirit to move in our business decisions.

We discuss why faith-driven founders must shift from a scarcity mindset to recognizing the abundant resources already in their hands. Plus, practical insights on how to navigate purpose, provision, and strategic decision-making—without falling into the trap of endless striving.
