Enter with Thanks and the Leader’s Gateway | Psalm 100:4
About This Video
We don’t just walk into God’s presence — we enter with thanksgiving. Psalm 100:4 isn’t a nice lyric; it’s a blueprint for how to step into meetings, decisions, conflict, and calling: “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.” In this teaching, we get practical on how gratitude anchors your soul, shifts culture, and becomes a strategic habit in life and business. You’ll learn how to “enter” rooms differently — not with pressure or complaint, but with thanks that unlocks clarity, peace, and alignment. Gratitude is not a mood; it’s the gateway to God’s presence — and the leader’s unfair advantage. Takeaways Gratitude is an entry posture, not an afterthought: it changes how you arrive. Thanksgiving expands vision; complaint narrows it — culture follows your tone. Make thanks a habit: morning lists, mid-day resets, specific team appreciation, thanks-first prayer. Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life. This week, choose one “entry point” (meeting, decision, tough conversation) and practice entering with thanks first. Where will you “enter with thanksgiving” this week, and who do you need to thank today?

The Reflex That Rewrites the Room
Feeling squeezed by pressure or puffed up by success? Scripture offers a simple reflex: pray in the pinch, praise in the plenty. This isn't mood management, it's spiritual alignment, choosing God's voice first in every moment, leading to courage and humility in your team.

The Room You Can’t See Still Runs the Room
Don't let the visible pressures of business overshadow the unseen values that truly matter. Focus on integrity, people, and truth to build a resilient culture that weathers any storm. Prioritize decisions that protect your soul and serve others, ensuring lasting success.

How God’s Truth Sets You Free In Life And Business
Your heart is the control center, influencing everything you do, so guard it above all else, even strategy and brand. Are you truly aware of what shapes your inner life, the one steering your decisions? Examine your daily inputs, because what fills you eventually spills out into your leadership and life.

When Truth Meets A Tired Leader
Feeling the weight of leadership? Remember, endurance isn't just grinding harder, it's God-given strength to stay true to your calling. Ask yourself: Whose truth are you building on, and is it truly setting you free?
