How to Boldly Step Out in Faith with Your Business. By: Racquel Lopez, FunFreeAndFlourishing.com

So, you’ve got a God-sized dream stirring in your heart, and you’re ready to turn that dream into a business—but let’s be real, stepping out in faith can feel like trying to walk on water in heels. Wobbly, a little wild, and totally uncomfortable. But friend, here’s the good news: you’re not doing it alone.

If you’re a Christian woman with a business (or a big idea growing in your notebook), this is your reminder to stop waiting for the “perfect” moment. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist. But your calling? That does.

1. Start Scared, But Start Anyway

Let’s be honest: we don’t always feel bold. Most of us start with a whole lot of what-ifs.

“What if I fail?”

“What if I’m not qualified?”

“What if people think I’m crazy?”

Trust me, I’ve been there. As someone who’s rebuilt from a messy past and walked the hard road of recovery, I’ve learned that faith isn’t about having zero fear—it’s about moving forward with it, believing God’s already gone ahead of you.

2. Cling to Your “Why” (Hint: It’s Bigger Than You)

When the doubts start creeping in (and they will), remind yourself why you’re doing this. For me, it’s about helping moms—especially those who’ve come from hard places—realize that their past doesn’t disqualify them. It equips them.

Your business is more than a brand. It’s a vessel. It’s how you bring light, hope, and healing into the world. And when you keep your “why” front and center, the fear starts to shrink.

3. Faith-Led Doesn’t Mean Fancy—It Means Obedient

God isn’t asking for perfection. He’s asking for progress. He’s not waiting for you to have the perfect marketing plan or a Pinterest-worthy website. He’s looking for a willing heart. The one-day-at-a-time steps and surrender.

So go ahead and send that pitch. Launch the course. Share the story you’ve been sitting on. Start the podcast or the prayer call. Whatever your version of bold looks like, do that.

4. Find Your People (Hint: You Don’t Have to Hustle Alone)

The enemy loves to isolate us, but we were made for connection. Exactly why “Elevate” was created—because bold faith needs bold community. 

Find women who will cheer you on, pray you through the launch, and remind you of God’s promises when imposter syndrome tries to take the mic. You were never meant to go it alone.

5. Celebrate the Small Steps (Heaven Does!)

Every act of obedience counts. Whether one person downloads your freebie or 100 show up for your webinar, or 5 walk into your store…celebrate it!! When you partner with God in business, nothing is wasted. His math isn’t our math, and sometimes the smallest seeds grow the strongest roots.

Final Thought…

Stepping out in faith doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means trusting the One who does. So, sis, take the leap. Share the message. Build the thing. You’re not just building a business—you’re building the Kingdom. And there’s nothing more bold, beautiful, or powerful than that.

You’ve got this—and He’s got you.
