## Resource

As we close out 2025 and step toward a new year, I’m sharing something personal, prayer-led, and foundational for how I’m approaching business in 2026: my word of the year—UNCOMMON. In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I walk you through how God gave me this word early, what it means biblically and practically, and how it’s shaping the way I’m thinking about business growth, relationships, income, community, and obedience in the year ahead. If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, faith-led business owner, or small business leader who wants results that don’t come from hustle culture, burnout, or copying what everyone else is doing—this episode is for you. We talk about what it really looks like to be set apart in business, how to build uncommon relationships instead of chasing visibility, and why faith + profit belong together when stewardship is done well. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “uncommon” is my word for 2026 and how God revealed it What uncommon means biblically (set apart, distinct, not conforming to the world) How to pursue uncommon business results without doing more or being everywhere What uncommon looks like in: business relationships and community building serving clients with excellence and discernment income, stewardship, and money mindset Why uncommon businesses are built on relationships—not algorithms The difference between chasing money and stewarding revenue What I’m intentionally leaving behind in 2025 How obedience (not pressure) will define my strategy in 2026 Reflection questions to help you discern your word for the year Scripture referenced: Romans 12:2 – Do not conform to the pattern of this world Colossians 3:23–24 – Working with excellence as unto the Lord Resources mentioned: Screen-Free Challenge (21 Days)👉 https://screen…
