You don’t need a 12-week sprint or another overcomplicated strategy to finish the year with purpose. What you need is clarity—both from God and from the people you’re here to serve.

In this episode of Her Faith at Work, we’re talking about one of the simplest yet most powerful tools you can use in Q4: a short, intentional survey. This isn’t about marketing gimmicks or fancy tech. It’s about asking the right questions, listening well, and aligning your next steps with both heaven and your audience.

If you’ve ever wondered how to serve your people better while setting yourself up for 2026, this conversation is for you.

• Why asking God comes before asking your audience
• How to keep surveys simple (3 minutes or less!)
• The exact questions you can ask to get clarity on your people’s needs
• How to interpret responses without chasing every new idea
• Practical ways to take action on feedback now — not someday
• Why partnering with a coach or biz bestie multiplies results

• 00:00 – A “False Fall” story and why seasons matter in business
• 04:30 – Why asking God is your first step in planning
• 09:00 – How to keep surveys ridiculously simple
• 15:00 – What to do with your audience’s answers
• 19:30 – Taking action on one thing to finish aligned

Your audience’s needs may have shifted since the last time you checked in. By asking just a handful of intentional questions, you’ll discover patterns that reveal where they need your help most right now. That insight allows you to:

• Refocus your content strategy
• Confirm (or pivot) your next offer
• Build momentum into 2026 with peace and clarity

This isn’t about doing everything people ask for—it’s about aligning their needs with God’s leading for your business.

• Finishing strong isn’t about hustle—it’s about alignment.
• Ask God first, then ask your people.
• Keep surveys short, heartfelt, and easy to answer.
• Look for patterns, then bring them back to prayer.
• Act on one thing with simplicity and faithfulness.

Are you clinging to control in your business — even while praying for divine direction?

In this episode of Her Faith at Work, we’re breaking down the tension between autonomy and alignment in faith-based business. Because as a solopreneur or entrepreneur, you’ve been taught to lead boldly — but in Kingdom-driven entrepreneurship, surrender might be the smartest business strategy you ever choose.

Whether you're building an online business, navigating a slow season, or questioning your next move, this conversation offers both spiritual clarity and practical business growth tips that Christian women in business need right now.

We’ll explore:

• The difference between business growth and ego-driven hustle
• Why alignment with God’s Word leads to better marketing strategies
• What true obedience looks like when you're launching, pivoting, or pausing
• Real-life application for entrepreneurs who crave clarity
• A personal story about saying “no” to a seemingly perfect digital marketing opportunity

This episode is especially for the small business owner who wants more than surface-level success — you want soul-level sustainability.

📖 Scripture Anchors:

• Matthew 16:25 — lose your life to find it
• Proverbs 3:5-6 — trust, submit, and let God lead
•

In this week’s episode of Her Faith at Work, we're getting real about the unseen battle behind your business growth — the one happening between your ears. If you've ever felt like you're not enough, like you're not doing enough, or like you're too much, this conversation is for you.

We’re talking about the lies the enemy tries to whisper to women in business — lies about your worth, your identity, and your calling as an entrepreneur. And more importantly, we’re talking about how to renew your mind, align with truth, and grow your faith-based business from a place of spiritual authority.

Inside this episode:

• 
  
• 
  
• How childhood wounds and perfectionism can block your business strategy
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• What the Lord taught me (through tears and truth) about identity and fruit-bearing
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why your marketing strategies won’t work if your mindset is broken
• 
  
• 
  
•

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Scripture-based truth for overcoming lies and reclaiming your entrepreneurship assignment

If you’ve been second-guessing your gifts or stuck in fear around showing up and leading your online business, it’s time to silence the accuser and anchor in truth.

📖 Scriptures mentioned:

• 
  
• 
  
• Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
• 
  
• 
  
•

• 
  
• 
  

✨ You're Not Just Building a Business — You're Bearing Fruit

The small business you're building isn’t just about income — it’s about impact. And the enemy knows that. That’s why he goes for your identity.

But you don’t have to listen to the lies anymore. Let this episode be your permission slip to believe what God says about you — and to lead with confidence.

In this episode of Her Faith at Work, host Jan Touchberry talks about what it means to pursue soul rest as a business strategy rooted in Scripture, not self-reliance. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things but still feel drained, discouraged, or disconnected from the Lord, this one is for you.

You'll learn how rest can be both a spiritual discipline and a secret weapon for sustainable business growth. From practical teaching on 7 types of Biblical rest to the deeper question of why so many high-achieving Christian Entrepreneurs resist slowing down, this episode will both convict and refresh you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The difference between physical rest and true soul rest
• How hustle culture can secretly hinder your calling
• The 7 types of Biblical rest and which one or ones you might be missing
• Why strategic stillness is essential to business growth

If you're craving clarity, peace, and purpose in your work, this episode reminds you that rest is not the reward for success. It's the foundation of it.
