Hey mama, do you ever feel like you’re facing battle after battle in your business? Like no matter how hard you work, something is constantly holding you back?

If so, I want you to lean in today because what I’m about to share might be the biggest breakthrough you need.

As a mom business owner, I used to think my biggest struggles were time management, getting new clients, or even battling perfectionism. But the more I’ve worked with other Christian mompreneurs, the more I’ve realized that there’s something much deeper at play.

It’s spiritual warfare—and it’s something we can’t afford to ignore.

The Hidden Battle You Might Be Missing

We live in a world that glorifies hustle, productivity, and achievement. And as Christian mom business owners, we carry an even greater responsibility—not only to run our businesses but to lead our families and honor God through it all.

But here’s the truth: if you are a Kingdom-driven entrepreneur, you have a target on your back.

The enemy doesn’t want you to succeed because he knows that if you do, you’ll make an impact for God’s Kingdom. He will do whatever he can to wear you down, fill you with doubt, and make you feel unworthy. And if you don’t recognize it for what it is, you might start believing those lies.

A Real Conversation on Overcoming the Enemy’s Attacks

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had with a student in my Organized CEO Bootcamp. She had been feeling completely overwhelmed—doubt, setbacks, exhaustion, and frustration had left her questioning if she was even cut out for entrepreneurship.

Through this conversation, she realized something profound: every time she stepped into obedience and moved forward in her business, she faced intense resistance. But the moment she leaned into God, she felt peace beyond understanding.

This is no coincidence, mama. It’s spiritual warfare, and if you’re feeling this too, you are not alone.

Three Steps to Fight Back Against Spiritual Attacks

The enemy wants to keep you in a cycle of doubt and exhaustion, but you were created for more. Here’s how you can start fighting back today:

1. Build Your Support System

You need faith-filled business friends who will lift you up when you’re feeling discouraged. Surround yourself with women who will pray for you, encourage you, and remind you of the truth when the enemy whispers lies.

One of the biggest takeaways from my student’s journey was realizing that once she opened up and shared her struggles, she immediately felt lighter. You don’t have to carry this alone.

2. Recognize the Enemy’s Attack Patterns

Take note of when you feel the most discouraged. Does it happen right before a big launch? When you’re about to step into something new? The enemy knows your weaknesses and will attack them.

Keep a victory log—a record of past struggles you’ve overcome and how God showed up for you. This will remind you that no matter what, He is always working in your favor.

3. Prioritize Prayer and Reflection

You cannot run a Kingdom-focused business without staying rooted in God. If Jesus, who had just three years to fulfill His mission, still took time to rest and pray, who are we to think we can push through without doing the same?

Start your day in prayer, stay in the Word, and suit up with the armor of God every single day. Your business is not just about making money—it’s about making an impact. And that means staying spiritually strong.

You Were Called for This

If you’ve been feeling like the weight of your business is too much to carry, I want you to know this: you were created for this work. The fact that you’re experiencing resistance means you’re walking in alignment with God’s will.

And mama, you don’t have to do it alone.

That’s exactly why I created The Purpose Gathering Live—a two-day event in Gilbert, Arizona, designed specifically for Christian mom business owners. This event isn’t just about business growth; it’s about building a business that honors God while finding peace and balance.

If you’re feeling called to something bigger but exhausted from the battle, this is your invitation.

Final Encouragement

Mama, if you’re feeling the weight of spiritual warfare in your business, you’re not alone. Keep pressing forward. Keep trusting God. Keep showing up.

Because the enemy wouldn’t be fighting so hard if you weren’t making an impact.
