Hello everyone, everywhere.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.

Welcome to the Faith Based Business podcast for today.

We're so blessed that you're joining us as we continue our study this week, something we started last week, the kingdompreneur business blueprint.

Amen.

This is so important.

And if you missed last week's episodes, go back and catch up because we're just continuing to build upon the foundation that was laid.

Amen.

Let me go ahead and share the screen here and we'll go ahead and get started here in today's study.

Praise the Lord here.

There we go.

Click the buttons right.

Amen.

Now this week I want to explore how to move beyond the traditional sales tactics to create meaningful price centered client experiences.

Now you're going to learn to make your clients feel valued and engaged emotionally and spiritually, and use storytelling to inspire that trust and design journeys that really foster the transformation.

Amen.

By the end of the week this week, you'll be equipped to build a business that reflects your faith, that serves others with purpose and leaves a lasting impact.

Glory to God.

Now we do that.

Letting help.

I want to help you transform the way you engage with your clients, making every single interaction a kingdom focused experience.

Basically.

Okay.

To do that, we need to ensure that faith.

Faith is the cornerstone of everything that we do online, in retail, you know, and coaching and helping others.

All that we do.

Faith must be the foundation we build upon first.

Amen.

Can I get an amen on that one?

Praise God.

Faith has to be first.

Building a business aligned with biblical principles creates that foundation of integrity and purpose.

It allows us to serve others while glorifying God in every single interaction.

With faith at the center, our business will become a platform for transformation, not just transactions.

Amen.

The biblical principles like integrity and compassion and stewardship that guides us to honor God.

Honor God in all that we are doing in our work.

These values help form the bedrock of a kingdom focused business.

Creating trust and authenticity in every single client interaction and that relationship is what you want to build upon.

When we operate by these principles, we reflect Christ's love and create an environment where faith will flourish right alongside business success.

Amen.

To help do that, we need to reflect to Scripture.

Praise God.

The Bible needs to be the center of everything we do.

Colossians 3:23 encourages us to work hardily as for the Lord and not for men.

This verse challenges us to approach business, to approach our business with excellence and with purpose, knowing that our work is an actual act of worship in our faith.

Amen.

Now, by keeping this in perspective, we align our efforts with God's will and create a business that will bring glory to him in the process.

And we.

With this foundation of faith in place, we can now explore how serving with intentionality creates meaningful client relationships.

What does that mean, serve with intentionality?

Intentional service means meeting the deeper needs of your clients, not just delivering a product or a service.

It's about actively listening, responding with care, creating an experience that demonstrates Christ's love in our interactions with our clients.

Intentional service transforms ordinary business interactions into opportunities for ministry and builds trust that that lasts through at any problems that may come up.

Amen.

Now, to do that, we need to offer encouragement or offering encouragement and just silently praying for your clients on a daily basis.

These are simple yet powerful acts of faith.

These gestures show that you care about them as individuals, not just customers.

By infusing your interactions with kindness and prayer, you reflect God's love and you create a deeper, more meaningful connection.

I mean, if a customer tells you, you know, how something is going on in their life, maybe health or finances, a loved one or.

Or whatever the case may be, if they're opening up to you, showing you that kind of vulnerability and something that is plaguing them, obviously plaguing them, stop whatever it is you're doing, just stop.

Go over and pray with them.

Amen.

Don't just give lip service.

Say, oh, that.

That's terrible.

I'll pray for you.

I'll be praying for you.

No, just telling someone, I'll pray for you means nothing.

It means nothing.

I know I'm stepping on spiritual toes right now.

Praise God.

How many times have you shared something with your pastor and.

And he'll say, well, we'll be praying for you.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

A thousand times, no.

Praise God.

You can tell this getting underneath my skin right now.

This is something.

Pastor Bob, just.

Oh, man.

Stop whatever it is you're doing.

Go over to them.

Go over and pray with them now.

You don't have to make a big show over it.

Hold the horses, folks.

Stop everything.

We got to pray for Sally right now.

No, you don't have to do anything like that.

Just stop and walk around the counter.

If you have a counter in your business, walk around the counter.

Just say, I want to pray with you right now.

But this is.

I want to pray with you.

We can take this need to the Lord in prayer.

If you're online like we are right now, just stop whatever you're doing and say, I want to pray with.

Thank you for sharing that I Want to pray with you about this right now.

Because where the Bible says, where two or more come together and agree as touching, anything we ask, our Father will make sure we get it.

And we need to pray in agreement with this, that you get whatever the need is that you're needing.

Right?

You need to stop the presses and minister to that person.

Pray God.

Praise God.

Amen.

Now, as you stop what you're doing, don't just say, let's pray now.

Hold their hand, put your hand on their shoulder.

You know, they're opening up to you because they need some kind of connection right now.

And just that simple act will reassure them that as you pray with them now in this day, how can I say this?

Lord Jesus would lay hands on them.

The disciples would lay hands on people and pray, you know, for healing and everything.

Like folks, that personal touch means the world, okay?

It just opens things up.

You'd be surprised how the laying on of hands affects prayer.

Amen.

Now, there's some denominations that don't want to do that.

I.

Well, whatever.

That's all I got to say.

Whatever.

I'm telling you folks, that physical touch will transform your prayer into a powerful weapon.

Amen.

Now, in this day and time, I understand, you know, you may want to ask, can I pray for you before you create that physical contact?

Okay, I understand that.

And that's what the Lord is leading you to do.

That's what you got to do.

Okay?

But I'm just saying amen.

I'll just leave it there.

All right?

But the point I'm making is this.

Do not be shy about praying for someone that needs prayer.

Amen.

Amen.

Now let's discuss how focusing can make lasting impact.

You need to focus on making a lasting impact, and that'll ensure that your business leaves a meaningful legacy even when you're gone.

Yeah, what a downer, huh?

Thinking about, when you're no longer there, is your business going to survive?

You're like, who cares?

Well, your legacy.

What's your legacy?

When they're going to say, oh, he died.

Oh, that's a shame.

Oh, well.

Or they say, oh, he or she died.

Oh, man, I love going in that store.

What type of relationship do you have with your clients?

If you packed up and closed shop today, would they care?

Or they go next door.

If you're online, would they care?

They just type in, you know, whatever and find somebody else.

Or would they continue going to your website as long as it was paid for and continued to exist, just to receive.

Continue to receive from you?

Why do you think we make these videos?

We're putting them out there so that even when Pastor Bob's in heaven and you're still here.

I'm just saying.

All right.

When Pastor Bob's in heaven and you're still here, Pastor Bob can still minister to you.

Hey, man, why do you think we do these videos?

I could just put this out in an email and send it off.

No, I like this.

This creates a personal connection between us.

The audio on the podcast creates that personal connection through the sound, not just reading it in print on an email.

Amen.

Don't shut me down.

I'm preaching.

Good.

Praise God.

You need to make that kind of connection with your audience, with your clients.

Amen.

A Kingdompreneur's goal is not just to make money, not just to make a sale, but to create lasting impact in their clients lives.

Praise God.

Consider how your products and your services can transform lives.

Whether it's solving problems or inspiring growth, helping your clients achieve their goals, you need to be intentional in everything you do.

Long term value will build loyalty, strengthen those relationships, and reflect God's kingdom principles in what you do online and in person.

Praise God.

Success, folks.

Success is not just about financial gain.

It's about the lives you impact through your business, through your men.

Your business is an aspect of ministry, all right?

Your ministry is an aspect of business.

You don't believe that.

Ask a pastor if the offerings they receive matters.

That's a business transaction.

Well, those are offerings.

Those are holy unto the Lord.

The people are worshiping God with their offerings and yes, yes, and yes.

But ask the pastor, if everybody stopped giving today, how long would you remain open?

It wouldn't be very long.

Somebody got to pay the light bill.

Somebody got to pay those payments.

And your offerings make it possible.

So it's a business.

Ministry is a business.

Some people get offended when I say that ministry is a business.

Now your business can be your ministry.

That's what we've been teaching began last week.

The Kingdompreneur business blueprint.

Right?

That's what we're going over here.

You need to focus on service and transformation for your clients.

When you do that, you're going to achieve results that matter both here on earth and in all of eternity.

Amen.

Praise God.

Remember what we covered last week.

Your business is an extension of your personal ministry to other people.

That's as simple as that.

Right now, tomorrow, in the next episode.

I don't know when you're going to watch this or when you watch the next one, but in the very next episode, we're going to uncover how to design memorable experiences that deeply resonate with your clients.

I want to encourage you to give me your thoughts on what we talked about today.

Right.

Not the.

No matter the platform you're on, if you're on YouTube or Facebook or Instagram or whatever, wherever you're watching this at right now on my website, there is a way for you to leave a comment down below.

So drop down below, leave a comment right there, read the comments of others, maybe start interacting with them, and together we can all grow in Christ.

Amen.

Praise God.

That's all time we have for today, man.

I got into some areas today.

I didn't know the Holy Spirit was going to lead, but praise God.

He does.

He leads, I follow.

And together we serve.

Praise God.

Hallelujah.

Don't shut Pastor Bob down when I'm preaching.

Good.

Anyway, till next time.

As Pastor Bob reminding you, be blessed in all that you do.
