Christian Life Coach, Your Business Deserves Revenue
Christian Life Coach, Your Business Deserves Revenue 💰🔥
It’s Not About Greed—It’s About Stewardship, Strategy, and Spirit-Led Impact
Let’s settle something once and for all:
Your Christian Life Coaching business is not a charity. 🙅🏽♀️
It’s a business.
A Kingdom assignment.
A vessel for impact and income.
Yes, it can have elements of ministry.
You may feel called to serve, bless, and pour into others.
And yes, there will be moments when God leads you to give.
But if you want to build a sustainable business that generates revenue and impact, you must stop treating it like a donation center and start treating it like a God-ordained business.
🚫 Let Go of the Guilt
Let’s talk about the guilt that tries to creep in every time you price your services or mention your rates.
Maybe you’ve heard things like:
“Ministry should be free.”
“Aren’t you just supposed to help people?”
“Didn’t God give you that gift to serve others?”
Let me lovingly remind you:
The Bible says, “The laborer is worthy of his wages” (Luke 10:7 NKJV).
It doesn’t say the laborer works for free.
It doesn’t say the laborer gives away their time and energy until they burn out.
You are not being greedy when you charge for your services—you are being a faithful steward.
And if we’re being real? Many of the same people who expect free services wouldn’t work a full-time job without a paycheck. So why should you?
🧱 Business Is Biblical
We serve a God of order, strategy, and multiplication—not confusion and chaos.
Here’s what we see in Scripture:
Jesus had a money bag (John 12:6), which shows that His ministry was financially supported.
Lydia was a successful seller of purple cloth and used her business to support the early church (Acts 16:14–15).
The Proverbs 31 woman was a businesswoman—she bought fields, sold garments, and ran her household with wisdom and profit (Proverbs 31:16–24).
Paul, though in full-time ministry, made tents to support himself when needed (Acts 18:1–3).
They didn’t see a conflict between business and ministry.
Why do we?
Charging for your coaching isn’t selling the anointing—it’s honoring the value of your time, training, and transformation. 🔥
🛠️ Free Isn’t Always Faithful
Let’s talk about the myth of “free.”
Sometimes God will lead you to sow into others. That’s beautiful. That’s obedience.
But always giving for free because you feel bad charging?
That’s not biblical. That’s called burnout in the making. 😓
Proverbs 24:3–4 says,
“Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”
You’ve built your coaching practice with wisdom.
You’ve trained, prayed, invested, practiced, and poured into this vision.
And now it’s time for that house to be established.
But if you keep operating in guilt, undercharging, or giving away what cost you deeply to develop… you’re not being generous—you’re being unwise.
🧭 Strategy Isn’t Carnal—It’s Biblical
Luke 14:28 says,
“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost…?”
That’s Jesus talking.
He was teaching about planning before building.
That’s strategy.
Too many Christian Life Coaches think praying is the plan. 🙏🏽
Yes, pray first. But then… plan.
Then price.
Then promote.
Then position.
Prayer is powerful, but prayer alone is not a business model.
God blesses the plans we bring before Him. He adds His super to our natural. But He cannot bless what you refuse to structure. 💡
💸 You Deserve to Be Paid
Let’s stop romanticizing poverty and calling it humility.
There is nothing holy about being broke, burnt out, and bitter because you’re giving everything away.
God desires you to prosper as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2).
Not just in spirit, but in health and in income.
And don’t miss this:
The impact God wants to release through your business often requires resources.
You can’t fund future offerings, events, scholarships, or give generously if your business can’t even pay your bills.
Charging is not greed.
It’s positioning yourself to give more, not less.
✨ Ministry and Business Can Work Together
You don’t have to pick one.
You can be a minister and a marketplace leader.
You can be a coach and a prayer warrior.
You can be profitable and still prophetic. 🔥
Just like a pastor is supported by the tithes of the congregation (1 Corinthians 9:14), you can be supported through your coaching packages, courses, or programs.
This isn’t exploitation—it’s biblical.
It’s what Paul described as receiving a harvest from where he sowed (1 Corinthians 9:11).
🧘🏽♀️ What Happens When You Treat It Like a Business
When you finally start honoring your coaching business as a business, here’s what shifts:
You become more focused and intentional with your time
You create structure and boundaries around your offers
You build systems that allow you to serve more people with less burnout
You attract clients who are ready to invest, commit, and grow
You give from overflow, not from exhaustion
You stop second-guessing yourself.
You stop underpricing your value.
You stop hiding your offer because you’re afraid of looking “too salesy.”
And you start standing boldly in the assignment God gave you. 🙌🏽
🧁 Bonus Truth: Jesus Isn’t Offended by Your Prices
Some of y’all need to hear this:
Jesus is not mad at your prices.
He’s not disappointed in your packages.
He’s not side-eyeing your PayPal account.
He’s looking for vessels who will carry His message, honor the oil, and show up in excellence.
So go ahead and charge.
Serve with joy.
Bless others because you’re financially stable—not despite it.
🔥 Final Word: You’re Not Selling the Anointing—You’re Stewarding the Assignment
This is your permission slip. 💌
To treat your business like a real business.
To charge what reflects the transformation you provide.
To release guilt, step into strategy, and build something that lasts.
Because here’s the truth:
You’re not just called to coach.
You’re anointed to build something that changes lives—and creates legacy.

FAQs
1. Is it biblical for a Christian Life Coach to charge for services?
Yes. Luke 10:7 says, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” Charging for your coaching services honors the time, energy, and wisdom you invest—and it allows you to sustain the assignment God gave you.
2. What’s the difference between giving in ministry and charging in business?
Ministry is led by compassion and the Holy Spirit, often without expecting payment. Business is a structured, sustainable way to deliver transformation and maintain integrity with your time. One is sowing; the other is stewardship.
3. How do I respond when people expect free coaching because I'm a Christian?
With grace and clarity. Remind them that even Paul made tents to support his ministry (Acts 18:1 3), and the Proverbs 31 woman ran a profitable business (Proverbs 31:16 24). Generosity doesn't mean working without compensation, but honoring God with wise boundaries.
4. Does charging mean I’m selling the anointing?
No. You’re not selling the anointing—you’re stewarding the assignment. You’re charging for your time, training, tools, and transformation, not the power of the Holy Spirit. Ministry is free; business is an investment.
5. Can I really combine my faith, ministry, and coaching business?
Absolutely. God calls us to be both ministers and marketplace leaders. Strategy and Spirit go hand in hand. With God at the center, you can pray and profit, serve and scale, give and grow—without guilt.
