Nadine shares her journey from a corporate layoff to entrepreneurship, revealing how God used what looked like chaos to birth purpose, strategy, and Kingdom impact. Together, Nikki and Nadine unpack what it truly means to integrate faith and business, not as a performance, but as obedience and alignment.
This episode goes beyond tactics and dives into identity, reminding listeners that you don’t need a “Jesus sticker” on everything, you are the message. Through stories of obedience, prayer, marketing, AI stewardship, and discovering identity through God, this conversation invites entrepreneurs to stop performing, start listening, and just be who God created them to be.

- There is no “right way” to express faith in business—only obedience to how God leads you.
