When They Mock Your God-Given Path: A Reflection on Faith and Business
What they mock reveals more about their disconnection than your direction.
Let’s talk about something I find fascinating - and honestly, a bit wild.
When you’re in business and you move with God’s guidance, there will be people - coaches, consultants, even peers - who mock you for it. You can stand firm in the clarity God gave you, knowing the type of people you’re meant to serve, the path you’re meant to walk, and how you’re being led to structure your business… and still, there will be those who roll their eyes, question you, or flat-out ridicule your choices.
Why? Because your direction doesn’t come from their "proven strategies," the latest data, or what science or trends suggest. It comes from something they can’t measure - divine guidance.
What strikes me is how disconnected this mindset really is. If we look at the holy books - the Bible, the Quran, the Torah - the pattern is clear. There have always been people who mocked God’s direction, who ridiculed those walking in faith, and who thought their knowledge, logic, or status was greater than divine wisdom. These stories aren’t just ancient history; they mirror what happens today.
What’s even more interesting is how modern minds seem to think we’ve evolved past that - as if the same spiritual principles no longer apply to us. As if God’s guidance is now irrelevant, outdated, or somehow less reliable than the latest business trends.
But let’s be real.
When you’re walking in alignment with God’s plan for you, that doesn’t always match what the world expects. It won’t always make sense to others — and sometimes, it won’t even make sense to you. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It means you’re tuned into something deeper than human logic.
The truth is, people mock what they don’t understand. They ridicule what challenges their sense of control. And they shame what reminds them of their own disconnection from something greater.
So, if you’ve ever found yourself standing in a room - virtual or otherwise - with someone questioning why you’re building your business the way you are, why you’re serving the people God placed on your heart, or why you're choosing a path that doesn’t "make sense," remember this.
They’re not mocking you - they’re reacting to their own limitations.
Your job isn’t to convince them.
Your job is to stay in alignment, keep listening, and let God’s direction be louder than their doubt.
I’m thinking of turning this into a series - because there’s so much to unpack about how faith, business, and divine alignment really work in a world that worships data over discernment.
Let me know - has this happened to you? How do you stay rooted when others question the path God has you on?
