Not everyone feels called to entrepreneurship, but one thing I’ve learned over the last five years is that God intends for His children to have dominion in the earth and to be Kingdom financiers. One of the ways He helps us do this is through entrepreneurship. Whether or not you’ve considered launching a business in 2026, Girls Anthem is here to support you. In today’s economy, financial freedom often comes through something you build with your own hands.
That doesn’t mean every business will be a million-dollar venture, but every business can eventually replace your job’s income (not immediately) and create the financial freedom and legacy you desire for your family.
It’s also important to recognize that many businesses today have roots in practices that don’t align with Kingdom values. While not every brand needs Christian founders, we want to avoid supporting products or companies that sow into the kingdom of darkness. You have a tremendous advantage when you pursue a God-led business, but it must come from His calling.
Why Women Entrepreneurs Are Thriving
In the U.S., there are over 14 million women-owned small businesses, accounting for nearly 40% of all companies. Together, these businesses generate $2.7 trillion annually and employ almost 12.2 million people (Forbes, 2023).
Even more encouraging? 76.9% of women business owners are over 35, and 71% feel prepared to navigate an economic recession (Clarify Capital).
Data is key because running a business requires research, strategy, and consistent implementation. Launching well takes both spiritual and practical preparation, and we’ve put together tips to help you do both.
1. Seek God’s Face About Your Business
Take time to fast and pray over the type of business God wants you to launch. It might not be in an area you’re currently skilled in, so don’t assume your passions automatically lead to profits. Kingdom businesses are about purpose and impact, not just performance. Ask God for vision and a launch date, and if your business is seasonal, seek guidance on how to maximize the opportunity.
2. Create a Prayer Strategy Before Your Business Plan
Prayer will carry you through the dry spells. Most entrepreneurs give up in the first year because they lack a spiritual roadmap. Develop a prayer strategy that covers financial stewardship, hiring, navigating slow seasons, and remaining steadfast. Written prayers or journal prompts can help anchor your faith while you build your business.
3. Write a Business Plan
Use tools like Canva, templates, or even ChatGPT to structure your vision, mission, pricing, and financial forecast. The Bible reminds us to count the cost before building (Luke 14:28). Prayer is your foundation; strategy is your building block. Study other business plans in your niche to see what works and seek God’s guidance on how to make yours stand out.
4. Know Your Problems and Solutions
When planning Girls Anthem Magazine, I mapped each part of the business to a problem and a solution.
Problem: Christian women, particularly women of color, lack media that is both faithful and relevant.
Solution: Girls Anthem Magazine bridges faith and everyday life with practical resources, inspiration, and culturally aware guidance.
Understanding your audience’s pain points will help you create a business that genuinely serves. Pray for insight into the needs of your target audience. Sometimes God’s vision reveals solutions that surveys can’t.
5. Build a Strategy That Includes Spiritual Disciplines and Rest
As you develop your business plan, integrate prayer, fasting, worship, and rest. I dedicate Fridays for fasting and one weekend day just for relaxing and refueling. Entrepreneurs who wait until burnout to rest often fail. Align your business strategy with your spiritual rhythm to ensure growth in both areas.
6. Be Steadfast and Immovable
Slow seasons, setbacks, and dry spells are inevitable. A spiritual strategy equips you to navigate challenges with faith as your anchor. Being steadfast doesn’t mean you won’t have emotional days; it means your spirit remains unmoved by circumstances.
Before launching in 2026, end 2025 by seeking God’s wisdom for your business. It’s better to wait until you have clarity and a strategy than to rush. Launching doesn’t mean quitting your job immediately. Allow God to develop you as an entrepreneur before making big moves. Obey Him, but don’t leap before your time.
