Ep 18: The Gospel of Enough: Profit, Margin & Building a Business That Proclaims the Good News (P...

This episode is a little different — and honestly, one of the most personal ones Dr. Lee has recorded to date. She recorded this one in her car. No desk, no studio setup. Just her, her thoughts, and a whole lot of things God has been doing in her life and business that she could not wait to share with you. This episode is all about Dr. Lee's word of the year: profit. Not profit the way the business world defines it, but profit the way God defines it. As margin. As space. As the gap between what is absolutely needed and what is available. And y'all, when she started actually living that out, everything changed. In this episode, she shares: • Why God called me to focus on profit and margin at the start of this year — and what that actually required me to do • The truth about our agency restructuring — we have fewer clients now than when we started, and we are making more money. Here is how that happened. • What it looks like when you follow God's direction and people leave — and why that is not always a bad thing (even when it hurts) • The difference between a God-ordained opportunity and a Wish.com version of what you actually want • How God has been calling me back to writing and speaking — and what that has to do with my primary spiritual gift as a professor • Why I believe the most important thing we can do as Christian entrepreneurs is share both the love AND the truth of Jesus through the way we run our businesses • What Regulated Roots Academy is really about — and what the three tiers of membership look like moving forward • A sneak peek at our summer podcast series on the seven spiritual gifts This episode is for you if you have been grinding without margin, saying yes to the wrong things, or quietly wondering if the way you are building your business is actually aligned with what God is calling you to do. The good news? It is never too late to create space.... And God always honors obedience.
