We are going to be drawing today’s business lesson from the story of King David. David was chosen to be king not because of his outward appearance or worldly strength, but because of his heart. In 1 Samuel 16:7, God tells Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” David's life is a blueprint for leading from the heart. Even when he faced Goliath, David did not rely on traditional armor or weapons, but on his faith in God. David relied on spiritual weapons, such as prayer, worship, and faith in God's promises, rather than on physical tools. He dropped the armor of the world and fought with the spiritual weapons of trust and purpose. As Christian entrepreneurs, we can apply this same lesson—facing the "giants" in our business not with worldly strategies alone, but with the strength that comes from faith, transparency, and integrity. Today’s guest is Christine Jewel, she is an author, keynote speaker, and faith-based executive coach with over 25 years of experience in the fields of Health + Peak Performance, Entrepreneurship + Human Behavior. She is also the host of the Breaking Chains Podcast. As the Founder of Warriors Of The Heart, she specializes in guiding highly successful CEO’s and Impact-driven leaders to break out of the superficial “life” they’ve built, redefine success and step into a whole new playing field grounded in eternal, life giving principles. Christine bridges the gap between the heart, fueled by faith & logic, fueled by practicality - to help people receive more than they could ever imagine and claim the rich life they were created for.
