986 | What Deborah Teaches Us About God-Led Business

Author: Stefanie Gass - Christian Business Coach, Podcast Coach, Online Business Coach August 20, 2026 Duration: 19:22
You were called to lead, friend. So why does it feel like you're still waiting for permission? If you've ever wondered what a woman from the Old Testament has to do with your online business, this episode is going to surprise you. If you're searching for what the story of Deborah teaches us about faith, leadership, and building a God-led business, you're in the right place. In this episode, I'm unpacking the story of Deborah, judge, prophet, and military commander, and what her "palm tree" model reveals about building a business as a woman who feels called but keeps waiting for the right conditions. We look at how Deborah led without waiting for conditions (Judges 4:4-6, NLT), how she moved even when the general Barak hesitated (Judges 4:8-9, NLT), and how she gave God the credit the moment the battle was won (Judges 5:2-3, NLT). I  share with you the DEBORAH Decision, my 3-Step Lead Anyway Plan, and 3 things her business model teaches us: niching down and staying put, partnering without shrinking, and acting on the word instead of the feeling. Obedience, even in the small things, is still obedience. Deborah didn't need a bigger platform. She needed a calling and the courage to use it. I pray this blesses you, friend!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast? Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!
