FAITH BEFORE HUSTLE: Building God’s Way

FAITH BEFORE HUSTLE: Building God’s Way What does it really mean to build your business, project or vision God’s way? We live in a culture that celebrates hustle. Work harder. Move faster. Say yes. Keep pushing. Grow. Scale. Don’t fall behind. But what happens when the hustle gets louder than God? In this episode of Lions RAW, we’re joined for the first time by special guest Paul Manwaring for an honest conversation about faith before hustle — and learning to recognise the difference between working hard with God and striving ahead without Him. Paul shares from his own journey: the seasons when hustle began to take over, the warning signs that something was out of balance, and what it looked like to return to a place of faith, trust and obedience. We explore the challenge of slowing down when everything around you seems to be saying GO. What do you do when growth feels imminent, opportunities are appearing and momentum is building — but God might actually be inviting you to wait? And what about that fear so many entrepreneurs and pioneers carry: “If I slow down, I’ll fall behind”? This conversation is a reminder that building God’s way isn't about a lack of ambition or hard work. It's about who is leading. Because sometimes the greatest act of faith isn't taking the next opportunity. It's trusting God enough to wait.

Building a Business That Outlives You

🎙️ NEW LIONS RAW PODCAST – EPISODE 15 - Building a Business That Outlives You What happens to your business when you're no longer leading it? Too many entrepreneurs spend their lives building something that depends entirely on them. But true Kingdom leadership isn't just about creating success for today—it's about building a legacy that continues to impact lives long after you're gone. In this episode of Lions RAW, The Lions explore what it means to build a business that outlives you. They discuss the importance of succession, developing people, stewarding influence well, and creating organisations that reflect God's values for generations to come. Legacy isn't measured only by what you achieve. It's measured by who you influence, what you leave behind, and whether the mission continues without you. If you're building a business, ministry or organisation with eternity in mind, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond the next quarter and start building for the next generation.

Kingdom Goals: God's Purpose or Your Personal Plans?

What are you really building? As Christian leaders and entrepreneurs, it's easy to set ambitious goals, create strategic plans and chase success. But have you ever stopped to ask whether your vision is truly God's vision? In this episode of Lions RAW, The Lions explore the tension between personal ambition and Kingdom purpose. How do you know if your goals have been inspired by God or simply shaped by your own desires? What happens when God changes the direction you were so convinced was right? And how do we surrender our plans without losing our passion? Join us for an honest conversation about calling, obedience, ambition, trust and what it really means to build something that lasts for eternity. If you've ever wrestled with whether you're pursuing your own agenda or God's assignment, this episode is for you.

Overcoming Fear & Doubt as a Christian Leader

🎙️ The Lions RAW Podcast – Overcoming Fear & Doubt as a Christian Leader Every leader faces moments of uncertainty. The question is not if fear and doubt will come, but how we respond when they do. In this episode of The Lions RAW Podcast, we explore one of the biggest challenges facing Christian leaders and entrepreneurs: How do you tell the difference between the voice of the Holy Spirit and the voice of fear? Drawing from personal experiences, biblical principles and practical leadership insights, we discuss how fear can disguise itself as wisdom, how doubt can paralyse progress, and how to discern God's leading when the path ahead feels uncertain. We talk honestly about stepping out in faith, making difficult decisions, overcoming imposter syndrome and learning to trust God's voice above the noise of our own insecurities. Whether you're leading a business, ministry, team or family, this conversation will encourage you to move forward with greater confidence, clarity and courage. Join us as we unpack what it means to lead by faith, not fear. #TheLionsRAW #ChristianLeadership #FaithOverFear #KingdomBusiness #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #HolySpirit #ChristianEntrepreneur #PurposeDrivenLeadership #TheLionsUK #LeadershipPodcast #FaithInBusiness #OvercomingFear #ChristianBusiness #Discernment
