Career is one of the spokes on the Wheel of Lifeâan area that affects balance, fulfillment, and purpose. For Christian women, career is more than a paycheck; it is a calling, an opportunity to glorify God through work and stewardship. Yet, many feel overwhelmed, underappreciated, or unsure how to move forward with confidence.
Tom Ziglar offers a simple but powerful truth about performance:
Attitude Ă Effort Ă Skill = Performance
This formula reminds us that success in career is not about luck or chanceâit is about aligning heart, hands, and habits with Godâs truth.
Attitude is where everything begins. A Christ-centered attitude keeps you grounded in joy and hope even when challenges arise.
đ âAnd whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.â â Colossians 3:23 KJV
A positive, faith-filled attitude is not about ignoring problems; it is about choosing to see through Godâs perspective. Even setbacks become opportunitie...
World-renowned leadership expert John C. Maxwell once said, âEveryone communicates, but few connect.â His book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect reminds us that true success in business and leadership depends not on how much we say, but on how deeply we connect with others.
For Christian women in business, connection is more than a leadership skillâit is a Kingdom calling. Jesus Himself modeled the art of connection, whether He was speaking to crowds or ministering one-on-one. He found common ground, communicated clearly, inspired deeply, and always stayed authentic.
đ âLet your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.â â Colossians 4:6 KJV
Connection begins where you and the other person meet. Whether with clients, coworkers, or team members, seek the things you share.
Ask questions.
Listen with genuine curiosity.

...For many Christian women, career is not just about earning a paycheckâit is about stewarding the talents God has given, serving others, and living with eternal significance. Balancing career, family, and faith can feel overwhelming at times, yet God provides wisdom for every step.
Work was designed by God from the very beginning. In Genesis, Adam was placed in the garden âto dress it and to keep itâ (Genesis 2:15 KJV). Likewise, our careers are opportunities to cultivate, create, and contribute in ways that glorify Him.
When we shift from viewing work as a burden to seeing it as a calling, our perspective changes. A career is not just a ladder to climbâit is a mission field, a place to reflect Christâs character, and a platform to use our unique gifts.
Many women face common struggles:
Balancing roles. The tension of being present for family while pursuing career goals can create stress.

Running a business as a Christian woman is more than just building financial successâit is about honoring God, stewarding His gifts, and serving others with integrity. Business can be one of the greatest platforms to shine the light of Christ, but it also comes with unique challenges.
The Word of God reminds us:
âCommit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.â â Proverbs 16:3 KJV
When you bring your faith into your business, you are not just chasing profitsâyou are building Kingdom impact.
At the core of Christian business leadership is alignment. Every decision, from financial planning to customer service, should reflect biblical principles. Honesty, humility, and stewardship are not optionalâthey are essential.
Ask yourself:
Does my business reflect Christ in the way I treat clients and employees?
Am I pursuing excellence, not perfection, as unto the Lord?
Do my goals align with Godâs calling for
...Money touches nearly every area of our lives. It influences our families, our future, and our freedom. Yet for many Christian women, managing finances can feel overwhelmingâlike a constant balancing act between meeting responsibilities today and preparing for tomorrow.
The Bible offers clear wisdom about how we are to handle money: as stewards, not owners. Everything we have ultimately belongs to God.
đ âMoreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.â â 1 Corinthians 4:2 KJV
When we shift from ownership to stewardship, we see money not as our security, but as a tool entrusted to us for Kingdom purposes.
Â
Lie-locked living says, âI will never have enough. Finances are always going to be a struggle.â This mindset keeps women stuck in fear and frustration about money.
But Godâs Word points us to truth: âBut my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.â (Philippians 4:19 KJV)...
In todayâs competitive business world, many entrepreneurs and executives wrestle with how to remain faithful to their beliefs while leading with excellence. The truth is, you do not have to compromise your Christian values to succeed in business. In fact, some of the most influential companies today have been built on biblical principlesâand their integrity is part of what sets them apart.
Here are a few successful businesses led by Christian leaders or known for upholding biblical principles:
Known for closing on Sundays and prioritizing service and hospitality, Chick-fil-A reflects the vision of its late founder, Truett Cathy, who believed that honoring God in business was non-negotiable.
David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, has made headlines for standing firm on Christian convictions while running one of the largest privately-owned arts and crafts retailers in the U.S.
Running a business as a Christian woman is both rewarding and challenging. You are called to balance faith, leadership, and stewardship while navigating the unique pressures of the marketplace.
âCommit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.â â Proverbs 16:3
Â
Â
The Challenge:
Many Christian women struggle with integrating their faith into business without feeling pushy or compromising biblical values.
The Solution:
Start every day with prayer over your work and invite the Holy Spirit to guide decisions. Remember that your business is not separate from your faithâit is a platform for Kingdom impact.
âWhether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.â â 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
The Challenge:
Feelings of inadequacy can creep in:...
âShe considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.â â Proverbs 31:16 (KJV)
You have the vision. You carry the weight of responsibility. And deep within your heart, you long to honor God in every business decision you make. But leadershipâespecially as a Christian woman in businessâcan feel lonely, uncertain, and exhausting.
You are not just building a business; you are stewarding a calling.
But what happens when the pressure to perform overshadows your peace? When the hustle culture tells you to push harder, but your spirit longs to rest in Godâs direction?
Let me remind you, sister: you were not called to lead like the worldâyou were chosen to lead with truth.
Â
This is the voice of Lie-Locked Living that tells you:
You are too emotional to lead.
You must prove your worth.
You cannot be both strong and surrendered.
But the Truth Mindset⢠says:
Truth ...
If you are a Christian woman running a business or working in your career, you know the tug-of-war inside:
You want to honor God and serve others,
But you also want to succeed, grow, and provide.
And sometimes, in the middle of the hustle, fear creeps in:
âI am not doing enough.â
âOther women are farther ahead.â
âI need to push harder or I will fail.â
This is what I call Lie-Locked Living â when false beliefs quietly run your business mindset.
But hereâs the truth:
âIt is the blessing of the LORD that maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.â â Proverbs 10:22 (KJV)
God does not call you to strive your way into success. He calls you to steward your calling with trust, wisdom, and peace.
Â
This lie leads to:
Overwork and burnout
Comparison and jealousy
Fear of failure or scarcity
But God says:
Truth Declaration:
âGod is the source of my calling, provision, and success. I part...
For the Christian woman who leads â whether in business, career, ministry, or home â life can feel like a constant balancing act.
You want to honor God with your time, talents, and treasures. You want to succeed in your work without losing yourself in stress or worldly striving. And you want to steward your finances with wisdom, generosity, and purpose.
But if you are honest, you may sometimes think:
âAm I doing too much?â
âAm I doing enough?â
âHow do I know if I am honoring God or just chasing success?â
Sister, you are not alone.
Â
Stewardship is often reduced to financial giving, but the Bible paints a richer picture.
âMoreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.â
â 1 Corinthians 4:2, KJV
Stewardship means managing all God has entrusted to you: your time, your body, your gifts, your relationships, your business, and your finances.
It is n...
