- 26 minutes 11 seconds992 | From 1,800 to 14,000 Downloads: How Kristen Phillips Grew a Chart-Topping Podcast in 7 Months
Friend, I want you to meet Kristen Phillips, a teen anxiety coach and high school counselor who has spent over 18 years walking alongside teenage girls through anxiety, insecurity, and emotional overwhelm. And her mission is deeply personal. As a teenager, Kristen struggled with her own anxiety and self-doubt, constantly feeling like she was either too much or not enough, until she found the freedom of rooting her identity in Christ instead. Now she's helping Christian teen girls find that same peace.
Here's the part that made me want you to hear this one. Before Kristen joined Podcast to Profit, her podcast had 1,807 downloads total over four months. Since joining P2P, she's grown to 14,000 downloads, published her 100th episode, and landed in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally, all within about 7 months. But what I love most is what Kristen told me about herself. She's a self-described serial entrepreneur, sticking with one thing and going all-in has always been her struggle. She said without the P2P framework, the coaching, and the community around her, she's positive she'd have already quit and moved on to the next shiny idea.
If you've got a podcast, whether it's just an idea in your head or one that's already live and you're wondering if it's even worth continuing; I pray Kristen's story gives you the push to keep going. God is so faithful, and I loved getting to celebrate this milestone with her!

10 September 2026, 11:05 am - 20 minutes 45 seconds991 | 3 Ways to Use Scripture to Build a God-Led Business
Have you ever made a big business decision and prayed about it after you'd already basically made up your mind? Friend, I lived that way for years, business in one hand, Bible in the other, never letting the two actually touch. Today I'm sharing three simple ways to let Scripture actually run your business, not just decorate it.
I call it the Reveal–Rewire–Release Method; three small moves that let God's Word lead your decisions, your mornings, and your mind before the world gets to them first. We'll walk through why opening your Bible before your calendar changes everything, why the first ten minutes of your morning matter more than you think, and how one verse can interrupt a comparison spiral before it steals your whole day.
This one hit me hard to record because it's so simple and yet it's the thing I skip the fastest when business gets busy. God has been so faithful to remind me that I don't need more information, I need to stop skipping the step where I ask Him first.
I pray this episode blesses you and gives you one small, doable shift to try this week!

If you've got a calling sitting inside you right now that you can feel but can't quite say out loud, friend, this one's for you.

You haven't started yet. Or you started, and it's just not working. And somewhere along the way, "figuring it out" turned into doing a hundred random things and hoping one of them finally sticks.
In this episode, I'm asking the hard question: is it possible your business has quietly become the thing you're serving, instead of the God who gave you the idea in the first place? I'm walking through five signs you've made your business an idol without even realizing it. Doing a hundred random things. Googling instead of asking God. Following the world's formula. Copying someone else's version of success. DIY-ing everything because trusting God with the money feels riskier than trusting yourself alone.
By the end, you'll have the A.L.I. Method, Ask, Listen, Invest, a simple three-step way to trade the frantic hustle for actually hearing God again.
Friend, if any of this stung a little… good. That means it's time!

In this episode, you're getting a real, unscripted look inside a 15-minute FAB coaching call with new student Gretchen Greene. Gretchen came in stuck, not because she wasn't capable, but because she had too many good ideas and no framework for choosing between them.

27 August 2026, 1:19 pm - 23 minutes 36 seconds987 | 5 Secret Business Lessons from the Bible (Guarantee You're Missing These)
If you are searching why your God-led business feels like it's failing even though you obeyed God, this episode directly answers that question.You obeyed God, and now nothing is working. Before you quit, you need to hear this, friend: God did not place a calling on your life to watch you fail. But He will absolutely allow you to be tested. And those two things look identical from the inside.
We walk through Abraham being tested with the very thing God had promised him (Genesis 22:1-2, NLT), Peter's teaching on trials proving genuine faith the way fire purifies gold (1 Peter 1:6-7, NLT), and the promise that the harvest comes "at just the right time" if we don't give up (Galatians 6:9, NLT). I'm also giving you 3 signs you're in a God-ordained test and not a dead end, and the REFINE Framework, my 3-step Stay-in-the-Fire Plan for the woman who is obeying God but not yet seeing results. God is so faithful. He is not punishing you in this season. He is refining you. Stay in the field, friend.
The harvest is on its way.

24 August 2026, 11:05 am - 19 minutes 22 seconds986 | What Deborah Teaches Us About God-Led Business
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!

You don't have a readiness problem, friend. You have an obedience problem. And in this episode, I'm walking through why God has never once called a ready person, He calls available ones, and why waiting for the "right" conditions might actually be fear wearing a responsible outfit. We look at Moses, who gave God every logical reason he was the wrong man for the job (Exodus 4:10-12, NLT), and Joshua, who was commanded to be strong and courageous BEFORE he felt it (Joshua 1:9, NLT). We also sit with the parable of the buried talent (Matthew 25:25-27, NLT), because the "safe" choice to wait isn't always the wise one.
I'm giving you 3 signs you're waiting for ready when God is actually asking you to move, and walking you through my AVAILABLE Framework, a simple 4-step plan to take your first obedient step today, even with zero clarity and zero confidence. God is so faithful to meet us exactly where we're standing, even when where we're standing is scared and unsure. He's not asking for readiness. He's asking for availability.

17 August 2026, 11:05 am - 24 minutes 2 seconds984 | 3 Lessons God Actually Taught Me About Making Money (That Nobody Talks About)
A lot of Christian women are building businesses while secretly believing that wanting real financial growth is unspiritual. They pray for provision but cap what they let themselves pursue. If you’re searching for "God and making money in business" or "is it okay to want to make money as a Christian entrepreneur," this episode directly answers that question.
In this episode I share three lessons God actually taught me about money, the real, honest, liberating truth that changed how I build and how I earn. The three lessons are: God can't bless what you won't build (provision flows through obedience and infrastructure, not just prayer); guilt about money is not humility, it's a lie the enemy uses to keep Kingdom women financially small; and consistent income requires a consistent system, not constant hustle.
The parable of the talents frames the entire teaching — burying what God gave you is not humility, it is disobedience. Scripture anchors include 1 Timothy 6:10 (it's the LOVE of money that's the problem, not money itself) and Luke 16:10 (faithful with little is the qualification for being trusted with more).
The episode closes with a Four-Step Action plan: audit your money beliefs, audit your offer and funnel, repent of anywhere you've buried your talent, and a word-for-word prayer of surrender and stewardship. God is not withholding financial blessing from you because you want it too much. He is waiting to see if you will faithfully build what He told you to build.
I pray this episode sets you free.

969 — God Didn't Call You to Hustle, He Called You to Build a Business His Way
13 August 2026, 11:05 am - 17 minutes 29 seconds983 | You're Not Confused About Your Calling. You're Afraid of It.
You've been saying you need more clarity. You've been waiting for one more sign. But what if the real issue isn't confusion at all? If you’re searching for "afraid to follow my calling" or "confused about God's calling for my business," this episode directly answers that question.
In this episode, I reveal one of the most common lies Christian women believe about their calling; that they don't know what it is, when in reality, they do know. They're just afraid. Here I walk you through the 3 Signs You're Afraid, Not Confused: continuing to research instead of deciding, feeling peace about the idea but dread about the action, and waiting for a sign that God has already given. I then name the three fears underneath the stalling; fear of wasting time, fear of being seen, and fear of not being enough and explain how Scripture addresses each one directly.
This episode is anchored in 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9, and Jeremiah 1:6-8, each demonstrating that called people in Scripture were afraid people who moved anyway. The courage came through the obedience, not before it. I close this episode with a four-step action plan including a word-for-word prayer and one small obedient action to take today.
If any of these sound like you, feeling stuck in "waiting for clarity," an entrepreneur who keeps researching instead of launching, faith-based business owner that knows God's calling but paralyzed by fear, or anyone asking God for a sign He's already given, please tune in now!
I pray this episode is the nudge you needed.

10 August 2026, 11:05 am - 20 minutes 29 seconds982 | LIVE COACHING: The Real Reason You're Not Launching Your Podcast (It's Not What You Think)
You have the episodes recorded. You have the equipment. You have the plan. And you still haven't launched. In this live coaching snippet, I sit down with P2P student Lori Parks, host of Raw Milk, Real Food, who had been sitting on three months of recorded content, telling herself she wasn't ready. What we uncovered together wasn't a strategy problem. It was fear of judgment from the people closest to her.
Listen in as I coach Lori through the real reason so many women delay their launch, it's not tech confusion, it's not imposter syndrome about their niche, it's the weight of what the people in their personal lives might think.
If you've ever felt that specific kind of fear, not fear of strangers but fear of the people who already know you, this episode will name it and walk you through it. We also refine Lori's tagline on the call and land on one of the most freeing reframes in podcasting: nothing about launching is permanent. You can always adjust, update, and evolve. The only mistake is not starting.
By the end of this call, Lori had a hard launch date. May 20th. That's what obedience looks like, not perfect, not fearless, just decided. God is so faithful to the women who finally say yes. Obedience, even the small scared kind, is still obedience.
Recommended for: Christian women who have recorded episodes but haven't launched, podcasters paralyzed by fear of judgment from family or friends, entrepreneurs sitting on a calling they haven't acted on yet, and anyone who needs permission to launch before they feel ready.
I pray this blesses you!
