Wisdom’s Table With Rachel Wortman

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship and business ownership, addressing a common misconception that many business owners have: the belief that success is solely about how much they do. Instead, I emphasize that true success begins with clarity. Specifically, how clearly we see the problems we face and the solutions we can implement. I liken the experience of owning a business to an episode of the classic show American Gladiator, where the challenges can feel overwhelming and daunting. With constant decisions to make and problems to solve, it’s easy to feel stressed and stuck. However, I reveal that what separates thriving entrepreneurs from those who feel overwhelmed is often the questions they ask. The right questions can uncover hidden obstacles and bottlenecks that hinder growth. Throughout the episode, I present five essential questions that every business owner needs to answer to elevate their business to the next level. These questions are designed to expose what may be holding you back and to help you build from a place of overflow rather than overwhelm.   LAST CHANCE TO JOIN THE KINGDOM INDENTITY ACCELERATOR!

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to dive deep into a topic that has been on my heart for quite some time: kingdom identity. I begin by posing a question I've been thinking on: What if your current life is not a reflection of your potential, but rather a reflection of what you believe about who you are? This question sets the stage for our exploration of identity and its profound impact on every aspect of our lives. Throughout the episode, I share insights from my experience coaching individuals, revealing that many people struggle not with discipline, but with understanding their true identity in Christ. When we fail to recognize who we are in Him, we often find ourselves living reactively rather than from a place of revelation. I emphasize that aligning our identity with heaven can transform our mindset, relationships, and even our financial situations.

Kick off your week with prayer! 

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive into the often overwhelming experience of December, a month that can feel both beautiful and brutal. As a mom of four, I share my personal struggles with the mental load that comes with juggling family commitments, holiday expectations, and the demands of running a business. I discuss the concept of mental load—an invisible weight that encompasses the decisions, reminders, and emotional energy required to manage our lives and the people we care about. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of recognizing our current capacity and honoring the season we are in. I encourage listeners to slow down and let go of the pressure to be superhuman, reminding them that if God has called us to something, we have the capacity for it, even if we can't do it all at once. I outline three key strategies to help manage the mental load and maintain peace during this busy time.   Let's connect!
