Wisdom’s Table With Rachel Wortman

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, continue our month-long series on spiritual intelligence in business. We delve into the concept of viewing our business practices through a spiritual lens, emphasizing the importance of spiritual intelligence alongside other forms of intelligence such as financial, relational, and emotional intelligence. I begin by defining spiritual intelligence as being anchored in the Word of God, which involves memorizing scripture and having personal experiences with God that align with biblical teachings. I stress that while experiences with God are valuable, they should never supersede the truth found in scripture. Understanding how God's world operates is crucial for making decisions that align with His will. NEXT STEPS: Not ready to say goodbye?

YOUR NEXT STEPS In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, dive deep into the unique challenges and strengths of right-brained creatives and chaotic entrepreneurs navigating a predominantly left-brained world.

We begin by exploring the fundamental differences between right-brained and left-brained thinking. Right-brained individuals tend to excel in abstract thinking and creativity, while left-brained thinkers often thrive in structured, linear problem-solving. I emphasize that creativity exists in various forms, and both types of thinkers have their own unique contributions to make in the business landscape.

I share what I consider to be the Supernatural CEO manifesto—a collection of 8 characteristics that I believe God wants us to embody as we navigate the business world. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of integrating the spiritual and emotional aspects of business leadership, which are often overlooked. I reflect on my own experiences in ministry and how they relate to the challenges faced in the business realm. I discuss the inevitable trials and tribulations that come with leadership. Things like feelings of betrayal, lack of resources, and moments of loneliness. These experiences are not just obstacles; they are intentional processes designed by God to refine our character and prepare us for the responsibilities of leadership.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to dive into a topic that is often overlooked in the realms of entrepreneurship and business coaching: the spiritual weight of building a business as a follower of Jesus. As Christian entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves grappling with the heaviness that can accompany the very opportunities we prayed for and believed were part of our calling. But what if that weight is not a sign of something going wrong, but rather a part of the process of expansion? Throughout my years of coaching, I have observed that Christian entrepreneurs typically navigate through a series of phases as God grows their leadership and businesses. I call this framework the Seven Phases of Supernatural Success. In this episode, I will walk you through each of these phases, helping you understand what it means to partner your life and business with God, and ultimately, how to become a Supernatural CEO.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often daunting topic of visibility, particularly within the context of the Christian life. As someone who has always had a love-hate relationship with being seen, I share my personal journey and the struggles that many of us face when it comes to putting ourselves out there. I begin by discussing the common fears associated with visibility, including the anticipation stress that can overwhelm us before we even take action. I highlight how our nervous systems can create a predictive narrative that amplifies our anxiety, making it difficult to step into the roles God has called us to.

We are only weeks into 2026, and the emotional weight of headlines, scandals, tragedies, and cultural conflict already feels overwhelming. In this episode of Wisdom’s Table, Rachel tackles a question many believers are quietly wrestling with: What does God actually expect from us when the world is swept into outrage? This conversation explores the spiritual dynamics behind outrage culture, the difference between righteous conviction and emotional exhaustion, and how Christians can guard their hearts without becoming disengaged from real problems. Rachel walks through biblical wisdom from Proverbs, reflects on Jesus flipping tables in the temple, and challenges listeners to discern when to speak, when to act, and when to step back. Instead of being pulled into mob mentality or endless news cycles, believers are invited to focus on advancing the Kingdom of God with clarity, courage, and peace. If you have felt emotionally drained by headlines, frustrated by leadership failures, or unsure when to use your voice, this episode will help you reset your perspective and refocus your energy on what truly matters.
