3 Reasons Your Podcast Is Glorifying to God

Hey Friend!

We are going to discuss three ways your podcast glorifies God. What an amazing concept! Sometimes, we get hyper-focused on ourselves and how a podcast can serve us by growing our business and generating leads. Yes, a podcast can do all those things, but I have come to understand that my podcast is one of the most God-honoring vehicles I have inside my business.

I pray these three reasons help alleviate any pressure you may have when it comes to the success of your podcast. We want our podcast to be God honoring and relinquish any pressure you have on yourself. Allow yourself to show up for your podcast and be excited about serving your audience. Remember, it’s all HIS and you can rest easy knowing that you are doing good work for the kingdom through the podcast. 

Reason #1 – Helping People Is Glorifying to God

Your podcast glorifies God first by helping people. How many times in scripture have we heard that we are to help others? Scripture also tells us to be kind to our neighbors, give, and love more deeply and unconditionally. That’s exactly what you are doing through your podcast!

We just completed a round of market research for our company. The biggest thing you wanted for yourself in your business was to help people, show up, and teach something on your podcast, whether…

• you are nervous, 

• your voice shakes,

• you feel like you don’t have the best microphone, 

• your editing isn’t good enough,

• you only have 3 listeners.

You are still helping someone. Helping one person through your gifting is ultra-glorifying to God because you trust Him. 

You trust that God gives you the right people for your audience. Your faith in God, that He will use your story to teach others, is glorifying. Being vulnerable in your story and sharing your past experiences are what God uses to further His kingdom. Your guiding of even one person along their journey is pleasing to God.

You were meant to share your trials and traumas—that’s your testimony. Someone else will learn from you and how you overcame that situation. It’s an honor to God that we are helping people through our testimonies and stories. 

Remove Yourself From The Big Picture and Focus on Honoring God

When it comes to showing up on your podcast, helping people in the niche you were called to serve is honoring God. Remove yourself from the bigger picture of:

• Do I have enough people? 

• Is it doing what I need my podcast to do in order to grow?

• Is it making money?

These are all important questions, but the most crucial is: Did I show up and serve today? Did I give something on the podcast that can help someone else? If the answer is “Yes,” you are doing the right thing. You are showing up, glorifying God.

Reason #2 – Stewarding Your Gifts Is Glorifying to God

The second reason why your podcast is glorifying to God is that you are stewarding your gifts in obedience. There are so many Bible verses that support us using our gifts in accordance with God’s will while we are on this side of Heaven. The Bible verse 1 Peter 4:10 says, “As each has received the gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s grace.” We are to use our gifts as good stewards. When you build a podcast that is strategic and extremely niched to what you are called to do, it should be in accordance with your gifts. 

If your gift empowers and encourages couples by helping them restore their marriage, why would you start a podcast about organizing your refrigerator?  Or vice versa. If your gift is organization, follow God’s lead. That is a true gift that God wants you to share with the world.

Sometimes, you minimize your giftings, thinking the thing you’re good at does not glorify God. But that’s a lie straight from the enemy. Whatever you are good at, God gave it to you for a purpose. Someone else is out there praying for that particular thing, needing help, and you are the person to help them. 

You can have a gift in any of these particular areas:

• Getting your kids to listen better

• Organizing your home

• Best decluttering tips and hacks

• Restoring your marriage

• You may be a powerhouse life coach

• Or a lawyer

• You help authors create books

There are so many more gifts. Whatever your gift is, whatever you do is enough for God. A podcast is a beautiful way to share your gifts with the world. It takes obedience to show up. 

James 1:17 “Every Good Gift and Perfect Gift is From Above…”

It’s terrifying—I know. The first time I plugged in my microphone, I was absolutely terrified. The first time I spoke, it was awkward, and I made many mistakes along the way. It took three years of podcasting before I felt like I finally had a good handle on things. It wasn’t perfect, but I kept showing up in obedience. I continued to speak, help, and mentor. That’s what scripture asks of us.

James 1:17 says “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father whom there is no variation or shadow.” If God is good, He is the same yesterday, today, and always, and He gives us the gift, a good and perfect gift. The gift comes from Him, who are we to question the gift? Who are we to say we are not enough, we shouldn’t or we can’t? The podcast is simply a way to show up and shine in your gifting and glorify God. 

Reason #3 – Intentional Time Is Glorifying to God

The last reason your podcast glorifies God is that it allows you to spend your time intentionally. I was not glorifying God in how I built my business before having my podcast. I was:

• Addicted to social media

• Addicted to my phone

• Wanting to show up everywhere

• Always striving for more

• Hustling

• Feeling frantic

• And desperate

It wasn’t good. I was idolizing something, whether it was trying to make money or trying to find clients. Now, I can podcast in less than two hours a week and publish two weekly episodes on the show. We repurpose the content for YouTube and the blog.

I love the organic growth that my company has because of the time we save. All I need to do is put out two episodes a week, repurpose my content, and my work is done. Granted, I do have help from my team now, but there was a time when I was first starting out and did not have help. Now, I have been able to grow my business to become a seven-figure company. Think about how you are going to best grow your business.

In 5 Years I Grew My Kingdom Lead Business Into a 7-Figure Company

I was in your shoes five years ago, just starting my podcast. Within one year, I had a six-figure business; in two years, it was multi-six-figures, and five years later, after getting started, we had a seven-figure company. The podcast has been the vessel for all of it. I just had to devote two hours a week to it.

When I stopped marketing on social media and stopped putting up reels, it gave me back 10-15 hours a week. Glorifying to God is choosing the right marketing method that allows us to reach people all across the world in less time so we can have that time back to be with Him. This time saved gives us more time with our children; it allows us to pour into our spouses more, shepherd our homes better, and be better stewards of our health. God wants those things for us. He loves us so much.

Just like you would want the best things for your child, God also wants that for us. Having a life that supports being able to do all those things because of podcasting glorifies Him. Having that intentionality in my time is truly a gift He has given me—it’s the podcast that has allowed that to happen.

I pray that these three reasons your podcast is glorifying God have helped you release any pressure and find peace in the podcasting journey. Just know that it’s all for Him. If you haven’t started a podcast yet, I pray this is your next step. This workshop could be the step you have been waiting for.

I pray this blesses you!
