Let’s be honest—some days, it’s tough to keep going.
You’ve got clients to serve, bills to pay, emails piling up, and somewhere in the middle of it all, you’re still trying to be a good spouse, friend, leader… oh, and yeah, a faithful follower of Jesus.
It’s easy to slip into solo mode—put your head down and just grind. But that’s not how God designed us to do life… or business.
Hebrews 10:24 says:
“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
This verse isn’t just about Sunday mornings.
It’s about board meetings and bottom lines.
It’s about how we run our businesses and how we walk alongside each other in the process.
You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone
The writer of Hebrews (most likely Paul) is reminding us: Jesus already paid it all.
He removed every barrier. He made you holy. And now, you’ve got direct access to the Creator of the universe.
But with that access comes an assignment.
Encourage.
Inspire.
Challenge.
Stir it up.
The word “spur” here isn’t soft and sentimental. It means to provoke, to push, to irritate into action—kind of like how an oyster turns sand into a pearl.
As Christian entrepreneurs, we need that.
Not guilt trips.
Not judgment.
Not toxic hustle culture.
We need people who will call out the gold God placed in us and say,
“Hey, don’t stop. There’s more in you. God isn’t finished yet.”
Find Your Circle of Spurs
Running a business is lonely enough. Running a Christian business? That’s next level.
You need people who pray like you do. Who understand that the real CEO of your business is Christ.
People who don’t just talk about ROI, but about eternal impact.
If you don’t have that kind of group in your life, it’s time to find one.
Start local if you can—church groups, networking events, even that one Christian business friend you’ve been meaning to call. If that’s not working, we’ve created a community online to help with that. (Check out the Christian Business Revolution Facebook Group if you want a place to connect.)
Spur Forward. Don’t Settle.
You’ve got something valuable to offer. Not just your product or service—but your presence.
Your prayers.
Your encouragement.
Your obedience.
So let’s stop pretending we can do this alone.
Let’s show up for one another.
Let’s provoke each other in the best possible way.
Not toward burnout.
Not toward shame.
But toward love… and good deeds.
Let’s spur on the Kingdom, one business at a time.
