    95. Stop Floating: How to Discover and Walk Out Your God-Given Purpose with Alesha Limbo
    May 25 2026

    Do you ever feel like you're busy with all the right things — but somehow still off course?

    Like you're moving fast, but not necessarily toward anything that truly matters? You might be floating.

    Alesha Limbo knows that feeling well. A life coach, speaker, and podcast host, Alesha once described herself as a "recovering floater" — someone who stayed busy but hadn't yet locked into the specific purpose God had wired her for.

    Her journey from distraction to intentional, purpose-driven living has shaped everything from her coaching practice to her marriage to a bold land development leap in South Dakota.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    Run every decision through this question: Does this align with the purpose and gifts God has specifically given me?

    Alesha challenges us to stop doing things we're merely okay at and start leaning into what God uniquely built us for — because that's where He shows up and multiplies the work.

    One challenge from today: Identify one thing you're currently doing out of busyness or fear rather than purpose — and take one step this week to either realign it or release it.

    May 18 2026
    Are you running your business at a pace that's slowly burning you out? You're doing all the right things — following the advice, building the momentum — but something feels off.You're pushing the boulder uphill now, not watching it roll.Nannette Foster is a leadership coach based in Kodiak, Alaska, who knows that feeling firsthand.From burning out as a jewelry artist, to a pandemic-era breaking point as a solo parent of two young kids on an island, Nannette's journey took her from hustle and grind to something she calls "slow to flow" — learning to match her pace with God's pace and build a business that actually holds together.Join us as Nannette shares her raw, honest story and the practical wisdom she's discovered about slowing down and working with how God uniquely designed you.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?Slow down and build your calendar in reverse — rest and family first, then work in the remaining space.When we stop conforming to the world's hustle and start operating according to how God uniquely designed us, we become more sustainable, more present, and more useful to the people we're called to serve.One challenge from today: Audit your calendar this week. Are you giving God and family your best hours, or just the scraps?

    93. How to Use AI Without Losing Your Voice: Integrity, Influence, and Authority with Ken Freire
    May 11 2026
    Are you using AI in your business — or is AI using you? In a world flooded with generated content and polished personas, your real voice might be your greatest competitive advantage.The question isn't whether to use AI. It's whether you're still showing up as you.Ken Freire is a business coach, podcast growth strategist, and author of Own the Show. He started in ministry leadership nearly 20 years ago, discovered a gift for scaling organizations without burning people out.He eventually launched a coaching and marketing agency helping expert-led business owners — coaches, consultants, and service providers — grow with authenticity and integrity.Join us as Ken unpacks what "authentic authority" really means, why transparency in sales actually closes more deals, and how Christians should be running toward AI — not away from it.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business? Ken reminds us of Colossians 3:23 — whatever you do, do it with all your heart. People don't just want your expertise; they want to trust a real human being.Build your "human edge": wisdom, discernment, personality, and values — the four things AI simply cannot replicateAudit your sales process for manipulation: false scarcity, hidden pricing, and emotional pressure tactics have no place in a business that honors GodUse AI as a tool to speed you up, not replace who you areOne challenge from today: This week, post something personal — a story, a moment with your family, a lesson you're still learning.

    92. Pain, Anxiety, and God's Design: Listening to Your Body's Message with Dr. Nicole Evans
    May 4 2026
    Ever notice how pain always seems to show up at the worst time?It interrupts your work, your relationships, your plans.But what if that interruption isn't the problem — What if pain is a gift?Today's guest is Dr. Nicole Evans, a chiropractor who discovered something profound while treating patients in chronic pain: Their symptoms weren't punishments or random accidents, they were divine signals trying to get their attention.Nicole now helps people decode the deeper messages behind their physical, emotional, and spiritual pain — and use those insights to align their lives with God's design.Join us as Nicole shares how anxiety often reveals a fear of the future, and why our bodies respond to perceived threats even when we're just walking into work.This conversation will change the way you think about every symptom you experience and help you see pain as a gift, not a punishment.Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:How can we honor God in our business?By extending the kind of grace we've received from God — not the cheap, human version, but the real thing.So many people carry religious wounds or shame that keeps them stuck. When you show them what God's grace actually feels like, it breaks chains. Your business becomes a place of healing, not just transactions.One challenge from today:Pick one physical or emotional symptom you're experiencing right now. It might be stress, anxiety, anger, or chronic pain. Instead of judging it or trying to eliminate it, ask: "What is this interruption trying to tell me?"Listen for the answer without shame or fear. That symptom might be a divine trigger.More About Dr. Nicole EvansJoin a Community group with Dr. Nicole EvansInstagram- @drnicoleevansConnect on FacebookMore About David SchmidtFree Resource: What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern BusinessSubscribe to the RBT Weekly Newsletter for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.Newsletter also comes with Bible verses for business success for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.Book a call: Get Unstuck and Move ForwardWebsite: redeemingbusinesstoday.comLinkedInDonate to the ShowMentioned in this episode:What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for Modern BusinessIf you want to go deeper in your walk with God and integrate your faith and business this is the tool to make it happen.

  • 91. How to Heal Past Trauma: Self-Awareness and Forgiveness for Christian Leaders with Athena Dean Holtz

    91. How to Heal Past Trauma: Self-Awareness and Forgiveness for Christian Leaders with Athena Dean Holtz
    Apr 27 2026

    Are you carrying wounds from your past that are quietly controlling your present?

    Maybe it's a betrayal. A failure. A season of loss you never fully processed.

    You've buried it under busyness, success, even ministry work — but it's still there, shaping how you lead, how you decide, how you trust.

    Athena Dean Holtz is the founder of Redemption Press and a pioneer in Christian independent publishing.

    Her story includes building a $3.5 million company, losing everything to spiritual abuse and deception, and discovering that unhealed trauma left her vulnerable to manipulation.

    Through her work with veterans struggling with PTSD, she realized we all carry wounds — and ignoring them doesn't make us stronger. It makes us susceptible.

    Join us as Athena shares how self-awareness, biblical counseling, and the hard work of forgiveness became the pathway to restoration, and how the same principles that help veterans can help any believer walk in freedom.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    God wants your wholeness, not just your output. Unhealed wounds make us vulnerable to poor decisions and broken trust. Ask Him to show you your heart, find a safe person to process with, and begin with forgiveness.


    One challenge from today:

    Pray this prayer: "Lord, show me how the enemy tries to silence me and keep me wounded. Help me not to lie to myself. Who is the first person You want me to forgive?" Then take one step toward healing this week.

  • 90. The Corruption of Time: Why Hurry and Distraction Are Destroying Your Spiritual Life

    90. The Corruption of Time: Why Hurry and Distraction Are Destroying Your Spiritual Life
    Apr 20 2026

    Are you running on empty? Do you end each day with a to-do list that never seems to get shorter, no matter how hard you work? You're not alone—but there's a better way.

    In this solo episode, David Schmidt tackles one of the most critical issues facing Christian business owners today: The Corruption of Time.

    Drawing from Scripture and the life of Jesus, David exposes two enemies of your spiritual life that are quietly destroying your peace, your relationships, and your ability to honor God in business—hurry and distraction.

    Join us as David unpacks why Jesus was frequently interrupted but never distracted, how He lived a full life without being in a hurry, and what it means to actually finish your work each day the way Jesus did.

    This isn't about time management hacks—it's about learning the way of Jesus so you can have peace, rest, and joy even in the midst of a full life.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    Learn the way of Jesus when it comes to time. Jesus was interrupted often, but never distracted. He lived a full life, but was never in a hurry.

    When we chase after hurry and allow ourselves to be pulled in every direction by distraction, we choke out our spiritual life—and with it, our ability to operate our business for God's glory.


    One challenge from today:

    Ask yourself this question at the end of each day this week: "Did I finish the work God gave me to do today?" Not everything on your list—but the work He called you to. Learn to say, as Jesus did, "I have finished the work You gave me to do" and rejoice in that.

  • 89. Faith Over Fitness: What It Means to Steward Your Body as God's Temple with Jenny Higginbotham

    89. Faith Over Fitness: What It Means to Steward Your Body as God's Temple with Jenny Higginbotham
    Apr 13 2026

    What if the real reason we struggle with health isn't a lack of discipline—but a misplaced priority? Most of us have tried the plans, the programs, the 30-day challenges. We know what to do. But we keep falling short.

    Jenny Higginbotham is a personal trainer, owner of the 610 FIT Academy, and host of the Temple Restoration Project podcast. Over 20 years ago, she asked God a simple question: "How do we train our bodies differently in light of the truth that we are a temple of the Holy Spirit?"

    What followed was a journey that completely redefined how she approaches health, fitness, and faith—leading her to understand what it means to be strong in the Lord, not just strong in the gym.

    Join us for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about stewardship, health, and what it means to live by faith over fitness.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    Jenny has fully surrendered her business to the Lord—no formal business plan, just daily dependence on His leading. It doesn't always look "worldly successful," but it's built on obedience, not outcomes.

    When we stop trying to build something impressive and start asking God what He wants us to do each day, we move from striving to abiding—and that changes everything.

    One challenge from today:

    Ask the Lord this week: "What's the bigger purpose, and what do I need to do to be prepared for it?" Your health, your business, your body—it's all His, and it's all for a much greater story than you can imagine.

  • 88. How to Discern Truth from Lies: Biblical Identity for Christian Leaders with Charles Hall

    88. How to Discern Truth from Lies: Biblical Identity for Christian Leaders with Charles Hall
    Apr 6 2026

    Do you know who you are when the pressure's on? When the lie feels more real than the truth? When you're leading but don't feel worthy of the role?

    Charles Hall is a blue-collar worker by day and an identity-based leadership coach by night.

    He's walked through trauma, overcome lies about his own worth, and discovered that the best leaders don't just learn skills—they know who they are in Christ. Now he's helping other leaders do the same.

    Join us as Charles shares how to discern truth from lies through pattern recognition, why leadership is about giving power away instead of hoarding it, and what it means to lead from identity clarity instead of confusion.

    Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

    How can we honor God in our business?

    Know who you are in Christ before you try to lead anyone else. A darkened heart has a darkened perception. But when we align ourselves with God's truth—not our performance, not people's approval—we can serve, love, and lead with humility.

    Leadership isn't about being impressive. It's about being aligned with God. Influence is not the goal; it's the outcome of being who God calls us to be.


    One challenge from today:

    Ask yourself: Where am I leading from identity confusion instead of clarity? Where do I not know in my heart what God says about me—personally, tangibly, not just intellectually? Spend time with Him this week to get that answer.
