Episode Description
What you seek first determines everything else in your life and business. In this powerful 25-minute teaching, we unpack Matthew 6:33—God's blueprint for kingdom entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that honor Him and experience His supernatural provision.
If you've ever felt the weight of making it all happen on your own, constantly worried about provision, or wondered how to truly put God first in your business, this episode is for you.
What You'll Learn
- The true meaning of "seek first" and why it's not passive—it's an aggressive, intentional pursuit that changes everything
- Why order matters in your daily routine and business decisions (hint: what you check first reveals what you seek first)
- The difference between hustling in your own strength vs. working with God's blessing—and why one burns you out while the other builds you up
- What "the kingdom of God" actually means for entrepreneurs and how to operate by kingdom principles in your business
- The principle of addition—how God supernaturally multiplies your efforts when you put Him first
- Practical steps to establish a "seek first" morning routine that sets you up for success
Key Takeaways
- Your relationship with God isn't the decoration on your life—it's the foundation
- When you seek God first, He takes responsibility for adding what you need
- You can build a million-dollar business and still miss the kingdom, but when you build a kingdom business, God entrusts you with millions
- Your job is to seek. God's job is to add. You're not responsible for making it all happen—you're responsible for showing up and being obedient
