What if God isn't simply part of your business; what if He's the CEO?

Philippa Channer is a wife, mom of three, business owner, and marketing strategist who helps female entrepreneurs think more strategically about growing their businesses.

But behind her own strategy is a question she has learned to keep asking:

God, what do You want me to do?

Philippa's faith journey began when she was 11 years old after her family found a Baptist church willing to help with her brother's wedding. What began as a practical need became a church home, a community, and the place where Philippa began to understand that faith wasn't simply about going to church.

She could have a relationship with Jesus.

That foundation followed her into adulthood, marriage, motherhood, and eventually entrepreneurship.

Today, Philippa is learning what it means to call herself the CEO on paper while recognizing that God is ultimately the One leading the business.

In this episode of Why I Believe, we talk about:

🙏 Inviting God into business decisions
🙏 The difference between praying and actually listening
🙏 What to do when God doesn't answer on our timeline
🙏 Recognizing His answers when they come through other people
🙏 Asking for confirmation when you're unsure
🙏 Bringing biblical principles into business
🙏 Building authentic Christian community
🙏 Letting go of the expectation that following Jesus means living a perfect life

Philippa compares prayer to making a phone call.

Sometimes you leave the message...

and you have to wait for the call back.

His timing isn't always ours.

But that doesn't mean He isn't listening.

And sometimes the answer comes through a conversation, a sermon, a podcast, an opportunity, or another person saying exactly what you've been praying about.

The question is:

Are we listening closely enough to recognize it?
