God Is My CEO: Surrendering Success & Rebuilding a Brand with Faith at the Center with Sybil Stewart

From Corporate Success to Divine Calling

• 💡 Sybil Stewart shared her journey of leaving a successful corporate career as a global director, despite God's initial warning not to take her last job.
• ⚠️ The decision to take the job against divine guidance led to a year of extreme stress and chronic panic attacks, nearly costing her life.
• 🔑 God intervened when she prayed for peace, telling her to leave the job; she was fired the very day she planned to resign, experiencing a sigh of relief.

Rebuilding a Business God's Way

• 🧠 After being fired, God gave Sybil a complete business plan in a dream, which she initially doubted but eventually pursued.
• 🚫 Early in her entrepreneurial journey, she encountered Christian coaches touting worldly philosophies that conflicted with God's instructions, leading to business struggles.
• ✨ Sybil changed her business name from "The Sage Steward" to "Syb.Belle Media Co." after God revealed she was a prophet, not a sage.

The Cost of Obedience and Alignment

• 🎤 Sybil made the difficult decision to cancel lucrative speaking contracts that promoted worldly messages like "you're the CEO of your life," choosing obedience over financial gain.
• 🤝 Both Sybil and the host experienced a "pruning process" after surrendering fully to God, losing friendships and comforts as God prepared them for a new season.
• 🍷 Sybil also gave up alcohol, recognizing that a "sober mind and tongue" were necessary for speaking with God's authority.

Practical Faith in Entrepreneurship

• ✅ Sybil holds weekly "business meetings with God" every Monday morning, presenting her business and seeking divine guidance on specific decisions like pricing or programs.
• 🧘‍♀️ She emphasizes the importance of quiet time and patience to hear God's voice, noting that God is a gentleman who waits for us to be still.
• 🎯 God highlighted the importance of self-control, which Sybil defines as setting boundaries, adhering to commitments, and being a person of integrity in all aspects of life.

Core Principles for Kingdom Business

• 📖 The conversation resonated with Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path."
• 🙏 The speakers encouraged praying for wisdom over wealth, recognizing that wisdom is a biblical priority and the beginning of true understanding.
• 🚀 God often calls individuals to leave their comfort zones (physically, mentally, or spiritually) to prepare them for the great things He has planned, even if it feels uncomfortable.
• 💡 Godly characteristics extend beyond quoting scripture to include grace, integrity, morals, and values, which serve as a light to others.
